WHAT THE smurf DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT ME NOT GIVING A smurf ABOUT POEPLE BEING GAY IF I DON'T HAVE TO SEE OR DEAL WITH IT?

Probably because the statement makes no sense. If you don't care about it, what difference does it make if you know about it. How is that something you have to "deal with" if someone is openly gay?

They are out there ...So smurfing what ... maybe they are hiding in my smurfing bushes. ... I don't care if they are there (or here) as long as they aren't telling me about or showing it in public.

What do you mean "showing it" in public?
You mean like the same standards for hetero couples? So long as it doesn't go further than holding hands or kissing?

I for one don't much care for overt public displays of affection -straight or gay. Couples walking arm in arm doesn't bother me though.

Oh, so bestiality and homosexuality are the same thing?

Just because a couple is gay doesn't mean they are more prone to have sex in public than a hetero couple, you DO understand that, yes?

I would rather not see any couples making out or kissing in public.

And you never had a straight guy bore you with details of some sordid encounter?

"Generally creepy" is a trait that gays and straights can share.

Wow, it sounds as if you're describing actions that many men engage in.  I couldn't begin to calculate the amount of sexual conquest talk I've heard from heterosexuals, or the gross amount of sexual harassment I've seen men commit towards women in the workplace.

Women everywhere invite you to feel their pain.

You're probably not half as desirable to gay men as you've come to believe.  This is a common theme with those who dislike homosexuals, however.

I figured this thread had a little potential in it; it just needed some meatier content for a springboard. GTA was it- it's been a pretty macho series to this point.

I want to say first that mrreet2001 is perfectly entitled to his opinion, even if more progressive philosophies don't ascribe to it.

1) Doesn't that make you think about how women feel in male-dominated workplaces?

2) You should also be aware that the sort of behavior you described can easily fall within the harassment policies of most companies.

3) Is it possible that you simply inferred the "lustful" eyes, or were you ever actually directly hit on while you had made your discomfort clear?

Re: Xbox 360: More gay than ever before!

I don't have a system that could play this, but I wouldn't buy the content because I know it'll be mediocre missions "balanced out" with lots of HAY THAILOR and dildos and smurf, as if going over the top in being offensive makes it a worthwhile play or purchase. It's Rockstar.

I vote that MS should have everyone in the Entertainment division play one day at random a month and cite, temp ban, exp restrict or permaban every violator they run across in random games. That'd put a dampener on this behaviour real quick.

In the meantime, enjoy your racists, homophobes, GIVE ME GODDAMN CHOCOLATE MILK preteens and child predators.
