[Vision2020] Downtown & Gritman Parking

Sat Aug 18 10:08:50 PDT 2007

Gary,

  Tommy isn't capable of understanding how offense his remarks are to Gays. 

  He doesn't understand that when another person says to another, "You are Gay" what they are saying to the person is they are a lessor person than others. That is offensive to many Gay people being used as a reference to belittle someone. 

  If gay people around the world said, "You are a Tom Hansen", to someone they wished to belittle, he might eventually figure out his offensive remarks, but shy of that no. 

  Best,

  Donovan

    I see. And your absurd implication with regard to Mr. Farris was meant to be what, exactly? From my perspective it seems that you are trying to get in a dig that is at odds with your professed blasé attitude as you have numerous  times in the past.

  You really are struggling with my short-note reply, aren’t you, g?

  If you go back and re-read my posting, I simply stated/implied that I am not gay, although I support (with every ounce of my being) “Free to be you and me.”

  It is not a matter of being two-faced, g.  It is a simple matter of two facts.

  1)  I am not gay.

  2)  I strongly support the concept inherent in “Free to be you and me.”

  Perhaps your conscience understands #1, but is struggling to accept #2.

  But, thanks for providing me the opportunity to re-introduce:

    I have wondered about this in the past to no avail but perhaps you will have an answer for me with this attempt. Why does someone who purports to be ultra tolerant of homosexual causes, to the point of making a big deal of attending and posting stills and video of the most recent GLBT event and loudly howling when any religious group expresses its belief that homosexual actions are wrong, feel the need to trot out the false insinuations of homosexuality when they have a desire to belittle someone? This seems more than a little two faced to me, perhaps you could explain how you can embrace this lifestyle as good and normal and yet use it as a club to denigrate those you disagree with?

  Arnold, Arnold, Arnold -

Pass on to your new found joy (Here, Dog.  Lay me. No) that the videos concerning the Gritman/UI students parking problem will be forthcoming.

Howver, these videos (unlike the protest videos) will not be uplaoded to YouTube.  YouTube tends to reduce the resolution of videos and photos when they convert them  to 320-by-240.  I will simply have to post them openly on the web in my own directory, much like the protest photos (which may or may not exist).

Tommy Hansen

PS - Pass on to Lay-me-No that althugh, his attention is appreciated, it is getting to the point of psychotic.  My wife is getting jealous, although I don't "dance" that way.  Sorry, No-Clue.

    “I will be happy to provide you proof of the truth about the Gritman Board of Director's actions, just as soon as you provide proof of your accusations that students are parking at Gritman to attend classes and the culprits of your rotten parking planning.”

    Would you care for videos or will still photos suffice?
