That's new. - Lemmy.World

Halloween has its pumpkin pie. XMas has its candy canes. Thanksgiving has its turkey. Da Yoopers have der pasties doncha knows? Since when do homosexuals have a holiday with an established food? Wouldn’t a fruit cake have fit better?

Any time one introduces a religious element into a none religious matter, it becomes a volitile topic. Same with sports and politics. Hence why the Book of Etiquette centuries ago decreed those 3 topics poor manors for public debate.

Taking a highly contoversial subject such as homosexuality and lumping it in with holiday meal/foods is, IMHO, an invitation to disputes unrelated to the game. I’m neither saying I am for or against the subject of homosexuality, merely that private matters should be kept private, and, that it does not follow suit with the changing of holiday foods in the game.

It’s only “highly controversial” if you’re a dipshit.
There you have it, the modern higher education exerting itself without thought, without grace, without class, without objective debating skills. How could I ever compete with such a whitty retort as that except to say, if ignorance is bliss then you must be the happiest person alive.
TO WHERE HATH THE YOUTH'S GRACE AND CLASS ABSCONDED? 😭😭😭😭
