Then we can start "treating" the afflicted with, say, shock therapy. And rock pelting.
(I have obnoxious homophobic bumpersticker fatigue.) :banghead:

7. What, no waterboarding? |

9. Mulch? Won't that kill the plants? |
|
Or will it just create plants that suck the nutrient resources from all the surrounding flora, and then spread?

2. It may be more of an emotional disorder, a fear of unwanted intrusion upon intimacy. |
|
Such high aversion to something that will likely not ever hurt them...
Sorry that you're surrounded by the frightened.

6. It may have everything to do with a sense of vulnerability. Fear, maybe moreso. |
|
I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud, trying to figure it out.

10. Two words: closet case |
|
I'm an armchair fucking psychiatrist by the way, but I think anyone who's so open about their hate for homosexuals that they feel the need to publicly display it by putting bumper stickers on their car is definitely hiding something.
