Sounds like the blokes got a small todger, secretly fancies Brad Pitt despite being married and is looking for someone to blame - I suspect he went after whatever was on the table at the time.

Not worth getting angry with such complete and utter bufoonery, the world needs idiots like this to make it easier for the rest of us to get good jobs and good looking partners.  I also hope someone like this has the interview before me when I go for a job.  All I've got to do is not p1ss my pants and I've got the position.  So far, I've only failed to get one job on these grounds.

Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out. I'm sure you'll find the rest of the world is idiot free

Gee, it's things like that that make me want to stay.  Because if people like that are allowed to speak whatever they want, then that means anybody else can, too.  There's a lot of other countries where a dissident voice doesn't get heard ever.

Or is this one of those, "It's intolerant/wrong in my viewpoint, therefore I think it should be banned" stances?

You're right, the dissidents aren't saying that in many countries.  Mostly because the journalists are the dissidents.  Again, it's freedom of speech.  You don't have to like what everyone says, but that doesn't give them any less of a right to say it.  I've been called quite a few names merely because of the clothes I was wearing / profession.

Again, there are countries where, as Scout alluded, you can be jailed, even executed, for expressing an opinion such as "Tree. Rope. Journalist. Some assemply required". If you feel that is preferable, go find one of those. You have that right, though once there you may not have the right to leave.

But you said that it was stuff like that that makes you want to leave.  When someone posts something they disagree with, then says they want to leave, what am I supposed to think?  Well, here is what I think: that what you're effectively saying is that you don't like it here, but it would be better if people like the one you disagree with were not around, or were unable to state their opinions.  So instead of perhaps working to correct this person's beliefs, or to provide a counterpoint, you'd rather make the problem go away.

None of those things you listed are rights, by the way.  Marriage is a religious ceremony, and religions should decide who and how they marry.  Abortion is not a right, it's a medical procedure.  You feel that people should have access to it.  That doesn't make it a "right".   Privacy.....What right do you think you should have over privacy?  Unless I'm mistaken, you do have quite a bit of privacy.  We tend to sell our privacy much more readily than we care to admit, and not to our government, but to other private citizens and businesses.  Healthcare is a right?  It's been a while since my Poli Sci days, but I don't seem to recall access to a GP included anywhere in the Constitution.   As I've said before, I'm willing to meet you halfway on this one: I'll give you national health coverage, if you give me national service as a pre-req, and allow the government to place you based on need and ability.

As an aside, I personally feel that there are no "rights" per se.  Rights are a construct of man, and as such only exist in language.  But then, I also think that morals are an enhanced survival instinct applied to the group. 

Because estrogen is a polar molecule, it is extremely soluble in alcohol. Therefore, I suggest that enough tequilla could flush it from your system before the gayness takes hold.

Oh, come on.  Like you didn't order one of these too:

18 and a day in my world

Enough tequila makes everyone gay....
