2. And this is precisely why boys do NOT need "male role models" |
|
They can be safely raised by single mothers who will not turn them into "girly men" and make them play with dolls.
Does this asshole have ANY idea how fucking STUPID he sounds?
No, of course not.

And then he turns it into an advertisement for his book. Right. Of Course. This guy has much to atone for.

6. He left out the main young-boy-abusing category, "Celibate" clergy. Wonder why. |

8. Surprisingly he didn't mention ministers, priests, pastors and fellow church members |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 02:55 PM by Cronus Protagonist
I wonder why he didn't include the most frequent molesters; heterosexual male family members and clergy. No wait, I know why he didn't mention them - his bible doesn't condemn them.

19. I regret that there's probably no hell. |

I chuckle at the thought of Ann Coulter or Megyn Kelly ending up there, and having only Rush Limbaugh as a sex partner.

I have a prodigious taste for gross-out jokes and it spoils the effect if I warn folks in advance. But, at least I can honestly say that I can take it, as well as dish it out. :)

Coaches and guidance counselors? LOL - this guy has been watching too many 60's porn movies snuck in from his hillbilly neighbors. He forgot pool cleaners and naughty gardners. Funny he never said 'priests' or 'men of the cloth'... irony?

17. Arguably very Christian... |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 03:30 PM by burning rain
Given Leviticus and God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah largely for having notable gay populations, along with St. Paul's musings. It's not very Christian in the sense of the word as used by our kind friends, the caring and sharing liberal Christians, but they have to realize that their decent and humane faith is on shaky ground, Biblically speaking.

No one got out of high school without at least one abusive coach, guidance counselor or other male figure.
Robertson is such a freak.
edited to add that I didn't watch this (I'm at work and can't). I'm assuming he means abuse not in a sexual sense.

24. Actually, I am a baby boomer and did not have one, no, not even one |
|
abusive coach, guidance counselor or other male figure (How the hell did I miss out on this) and yet, I still turned out queer. Go figure. I just cannot, for the life of me, figure it out then.

27. Well in the "olden days" people were allowed to be mean - I wasn't talking about sexual abuse |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 05:44 PM by LaurenG
and it was a sarcastic statement but I am glad that you never had a coach or guidance counselor act in an abusive manner toward you.

Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 02:59 PM by jhrobbins
discussions I have had with my gay friends over the years and we, almost to a person, had a coach, counselor, etc, that we had a crush on and I guarantee that if the older person had been the least bit interested, those friends of mine would have acted on it as 16-18 year old horn dog high school boys. The point is, Pat Robertson, is that no one I knew would have needed to have been 'recruited' - we knew long before that time in our lives what we were and wanted.

20. Still waiting on that west coast tsunami your 'god' promised, fat man. |
|
"Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is warning that, according to God, storms and possibly a tidal wave will pound America’s coastline this year.
Robertson raised the forecasts at least four times in the past two weeks on “The 700 Club,” the TV show produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach. He founded CBN and hosts the program."
Unfortunately for him, no tidal wave, and 2006 was, well, underwhelming in the storms department:
"The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season officially ran from June 1 to November 30, 2006. It was much less active than the previous season, was the first since 2001 in which no hurricanes made landfall in the United States, and was the first since 1994 that no tropical cyclones formed during October"
Something seems to be wrong with this old bigot's reception, I think. Maybe we should all get together and mail him a bunch of rabbit ears, and other old analog TV equipment that's no longer needed.

21. As an Atheist, I hope there is a god |
|
so that jackasses like Robertson will be sent to the very hell they say we are all going to. Im positive, that if I am wrong about the existence of a god, and that god turns out to be the xtian god, then Robertson and those like him are all gonna be very surprised on judgment day. Oh to see the looks on their faces.........

My post included a bit of "tounge-in-cheek" there. If you cannot see the bigger point I was trying to make, then I guess youre just not gonna see it.

26. I was gay even before I met a coach or councelor or other male figure |

this man is so sad and so STUPID!
he did, although, kind of admit SOME people are BORN gay... i think that's pretty interesting.
I can't wait for this guy to go away. I'm sure he misses his BFF jerry falwell

High Schools, Colleges, Universities and THE NFL (and other pro sports) are just choke full of Gay individuals who should blame their coaches?
And to take it a step further, that should include drill sergeants or Boot Camp personnel in the Military.. and of course Priests, and Clergy..
Wow, Pat..
There can't be that many straight guys left in the world!!:sarcasm:
