But I'm pretty sure most muslims really are pretty much just...people.

I'm always reminded by these threads how staggeringly not insane or terrible my parents are
I wanna say normal, but goddamn I don't know if being good parents that occasionally fight with me and each other but really care about me and each other is normal anymore
I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Some people don't like Schindler's List because it portrays a rich Christian man as being a protector of the Jews, as if the Jews couldn't help themselves.
Okay, maybe you would have a point if it was completely fictional, but it actually happened, he actually existed and you're downplaying the actions of a good man because you're a bit annoyed about his religion and wealth.
my grandmother's funeral was on saturday, I wasn't there
but apparently my cousin got up and read from a letter he wrote about her when he was 12. It went "My grandmother is very nice and kind and she helps me with my personal hygiene."
and my father leaned over to my sister and whispered "This is why the Irish shouldn't intermarry."

I'd say that's normal
my parents have never fought with each other (at least while I've been alive) and I've never fought with them either
it's kinda spooky, thinking about it
her opinion on gays is like "well, the Catholic Church says a lot of things. They also say that you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage or use condoms, but I'm not about to tell my teenage son that he shouldn't use a condom and should just practice abstinence. There's well-meaning, and then there's unrealistic. so, you know, it'd be good if people weren't gay and that gay people didn't feel like that, but there's nothing they can do about it so whatever."
basically she doesn't really accept gays
she tolerates them, because "people are flawed" and all that
she hates bisexuals though and will openly badmouth them
thanks a lot, mom.
my parents are both devout catholics and very accepting of gay people (my mom's brother is also gay) and would support gay marriage in the US
they are also cool with birth control (but I'm never ever talking to them about premarital sex)
I didn't know catholics had a reputation for being crazy socially conservative until talking to other non-catholic people!
The Irish are a minority themselves. So I bet you do have some.
Also your Avatar, holy fuck.

my mom's view on homosexuals is hypocritical but ultimately harmless
My best friend in high school had this happen. She had short hair and was a tomboy and they just fell all over themselves to let her know it's ok if she's gay. When she got her first boyfriend they told her that she didn't have to try to be anyone she's not. It took years for them to accept that she is in fact straight.
its actually pretty cool seeing my parents being so accepting of family, no matter what. especially since they're both crazy catholic and usually hold traditional views. they cool with the gays though. there's a few out people in my family that they've always been supportive of
For the longest time I thought "Lebo" was Aussie slang for lesbian or something.

i don't mind holocaust jokes or jewish jokes as long as
A) they're said in jest and you don't mean them
they're actually funny
Everything has a comedy side to it.
Everything.
this is also my view
there are times and places when you shouldn't make jokes about some things, but that's only in those contexts
there's no subject that should be completely forbidden in all instances of ever being made light of
that's absurd, that's basically believing that some words are magical and have magic powers when said regardless of how they are said
i've had people tell me "You can't joke about rape, not ever, and you can't use the word rape in a lighter context like saying some dude raped you at Halo: Reach last night"
and i'm like "Why not?"
they go "YOU CAN'T! IT HURTS RAPE VICTIMS!"
and i'm like actually i've been sexually assaulted more than once and being able to use gallows humor and make light of the situation has been part of my overcoming the trauma of the situation so uh
The dad's probably responsible for a good chunk of my social anxieties and general misanthropy but he's not a racist or nothing too bad. Except maybe he's homophobic? He like to talk circles around people so I have no idea if he disapproves of gay marriage or if he was just playing devil's advocate and I sure as hell don't like talking to him enough to go into it.
After my Grandad died we had to put my Grandma in a home as she couldn't look after herself. Now, my Gran had lived in a small village all her life and had very little experience of people/cultures other than the ones in the village.
So one day I'm visiting her and she leans over with a massive grin on her face and says "You know how woke me up this morning? A Black man!!!" she then lean't back still smiling.
Also when said "black man" walked past later she lean't over and said "ooo he's black ain't he!" She was so fascinated by him as she had only ever known White people!

my mom's view on homosexuals is hypocritical but ultimately harmless
her views on bisexuals infuriates me

that would be cool! we'd pick up chicks together! though i don't think my dad would deal well with life without mom
I'm not sure being a Ginger is a minority.
this is about tube btw
Nobody likes gingers, so it counts.
I think this is like the third time I've walked into one of these with you and god damn it I feel awful every time
man
if you're gay that's cool
we ain't gonna judge you
plus, most of us already figured it out anyway
Oh god. They're multiplying!
it is owned by a pair of indian twins, dudes in their mid 30s, extremely chilled and good people to talk to
'son go up to the paki store would you'
and then he gets offended that I get offended by that
Quick! Fetch the hair dye!
(I love gingers really)
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
I can tolerate them because they remind me of delicious biscuits.
