Then what exactly makes you think I'm privileged?
I'm out of work. Have been for the better part of a year. It's so bad at this point that I've actually had to stoop to going on foodstamps. But even in good times, I've never made more than 30K. And that's probably optimistic at that. So no economic privilege here.
Social? Feh. Try having any social clout when you're in your 40s and overweight. Half the problem of me getting a job I suspect is age and weight discrimination.
You got a job that gets you above the poverty line? Then you are more privileged than me. Don't start with that.
I'm tired and going to bed though. Tomorrow I'll respond to anything new.

Quote:Yes, Islam has some very, very poor history with GLBT people. But cleanWhose "fucking house" are we talking about, here? If you're trying to drag Christianity into it again. Don't bother. I'll say what I've said before in this regard. I'm not arguing from the position of being a Christian. I abhor their anti-gay dogma (false dogma) as much as Islam's. But as Rev so aptly put it in another post - you really don't have to worry about Christianity because it's teeth have been pulled. Not so with Islam.
up your own fucking house before you start criticizing them.
