I think we have another t-shirt slogan here….IIRC it is a t-shirt slogan, someone on the non-prophets described seeing one.

AlbanianTodd, if you intended the double entendre in the last few lines, then I heartily thank you for my biggest laugh of the day!! Considering how attached some people are to their crackberries, that was brilliant.

peter, as a big fan of PDAs, I think you’re SOL (couldn’t resist). If I want to hold my sweetie’s hand while walking to work and exchange smooches at the corner where we part, what does it hurt? The only thing that makes me remotely uncomfortable about it is that I have friends who can’t do the same thing without reprisals.Frankly, I think we could use more public modeling of affectionate behavior. Love, lust and friendship aren’t supposed to be stoic, and I see no reason they should be hidden away. We see plently of the more dramatic, less pleasant sorts of behavior modeled publicly. Why not affection?

AlbanianTodd,FYI, PDA = “Public Display of Affection” OK? ;-)sorry, I’m usually better about defining TLAs.

what happens if you object to hyper-overt PDAs in general? I find them annoying, as they are really great examples of people not caring that there are other people around them. something I generally object to… like drivers on phones.Speaking of PDA’s and drivers on phones, I can’t stand PDA’s in public… especially that RIM blackberry, do your RIM-ing in private I say.

Oh boo hoo, random social conservative parents, you have to allow your children to know that homosexuals exist. I know that reality isn’t very nice to your beliefs, but really now….

I really hate how right-wingers always use children to justify whatever behavior they're objecting toExcellent point.

I really hate how right-wingers always use children to justify whatever behavior they’re objecting to. They don’t want their children exposed to anything they disagree with and they assume that other people should just accept their twisted child-rearing attitudes. And I also hate how right-wingers’ reactions to incidents like this have contributed to the US’s unhealthy “no public displays of affection” climate.
