Thoughts put to paper

I am starting to wonder if the one and only way to reply to any question about your sexual orientation might not be "Why? Do you want to sleep with me?", as surely this is the only circumstance under which the other person really needs to have that particular piece of information.
Anything else is just an attempt to put you into a neat category.

In other news, snappy jokes, one-liners and stand-up comedy will most likely die out in the intermediate future,  as all of these rely intrinsically on a pre-established idea of what a certain group/type of people is like. Looking at what passes for comedy these days, I say Good Riddance.

I'd love to see a lot of that fade away, just as I'd be happy to see all the people who feel it's terribly important that they be free to mock everyone else's hopes, beliefs, and way of living be widely regarded as pathetic losers rather than clever daring souls.

I also agree a lot about that kind of response. People need to learn that there's less entitlement to a lot of answers than they think.
