OH LOL. I commented too.
Oooooh drama.

YES. I'm starting to not feel so much rage while replying to that kind of people. I'm starting to find it... funny. It's funny to see how much bigot they are. :3 Plus, my english gets better this way.
Ah, since I'm learning A LOT from you, I could use phrases that I learned from you sometimes... is it ok for you? (for example, once you said that you read a disgusting fanfiction, but you never thought the author should have not written it, and I said almost the same thing to this person)
Is there some unwritten law of the universe that says "All anti-yaoi trolls must now identify as bisexual in their first three posts"? :T
Hey, it's good that you're getting better at your English! I used to get angry, too--sometimes I still do, depending on the subject. I'm more likely to laugh at anti-yaoi/anti-gay trolls, but I still get violently angry at people on my anti-torture stamp, for example. >3>;
Oh, that's perfectly fine. I'm flattered.
You can quote me whenever you like, and you don't have to link back to me when you do it.

Oh, I saw your stamp! But I don't know what's going on in America... are they thinking to legalize torture?
Thank you! X3

They must think it's more convincing than it is. :T
Don't worry about not knowing much about US politics. I don't know very much about Italian politics. One of my other good online friends is Italian, and she writes about local politics, but only in Italian! She saves her English practice for writing about movies and yaoi. I'm usually too lazy to translate what she says, so, yeah, I know nothin'. >3>;
Well, it's more that the US government authorized acts of torture that are illegal according to many treaties, national and international laws. As an example the US government used "waterboarding" against "suspects". Waterboarding is also called "simulated drowning" because it tricks your brain into believing, like the name says, that you are drowning and dying.
And instead of my fellow US citizens being repulsed and horrified, they all started a "debate" over whether waterboarding was REALLY torture, and what constituted torture. Turn on any US news channel and you'd find people talking about whether simulated drowning was torture, whether "humiliation" (depriving people of clothes and forcing them to simulate sex acts, a.k.a. rape) was torture, etc.
One of the groups against this was the National Religious Coalition Against Torture (might be getting the name wrong). This is a network of churches, synagogues, mosques, Buddhist temples, and other religious organizations who are completely against torture in all its forms. They distribute banners and signs like my stamp that simply read "torture is wrong.". What's sad is hanging one of those banners on your church is a revolutionary/shocking act.

I'm not into politic stuff very much, so I can't tell... I just know that there is shit everywhere. I'm not with communists (left wing), but I don't even approve the other side's ideas (right wing). What to choose, communists or fascists? .__. My mum hates communists, everyone seems to hate them... but on the other side there are homophobes, and I can't stay with people who makes manifests like this("basta froci"="no more faggots") or this("dad and mum? This is not the family we dream" -> the right word for "mum" is "mamma", but they wrote "mammo"("o"=male form) in purpose) or... THIS!("behind an homosexual there's hidden a pedophile. Stop to gay pride!"). Our "presidente del consiglio" whores... and do you know what he said to defend himself? "well, at least it's better whoring than being gay!"...
I can't believe it... °_° how can a civilized contry, in the 21st century, STILL think about torture? Waterboarding IS torture. ._. The idea of torturing someone, in the 21st century, should not even exist! What's wrong with them? ò_ò

This is a somewhat biased test--it tries to turn people into Libertarians--but it's not a bad one overall. If you need any help with English political terms, let me know. It took me forever to get used to all the goobledyguk. >3>;
Those mocking photos make me really sad. There is nothing wrong with the Papi and Mammo/a in that picture, and I doubt they agreed to be used for the ad. That's really mean and sad. :C
I remember hearing that your president said something about how his philandering was better than being gay. That's just sick. My country's politics are insane, don't get me wrong, but a scandal like that would destroy any President we've ever had, especially with that response. :T
I think part of the thing with torture is guilt. People don't want to believe that the US has tortured, because that means we're all morally responsible. People hate being morally responsible and they hate feeling guilty. So instead of confronting their guilt, they deny it. Again, very tragic and horrible, given the results. :c

Sorry, I tried but I can't understand anything from the second page on ;A; not because it's in english, because I don't know anything about what's going on in economy or in political stuff. ;_;
And you know what's the problem? The problem is that here no one cared about what he said. Only LGBT people felt offended, of course... but other people didn't care at all and since LGBT people's opinion is not important, there wasn't any "scandal". My mum said that "he didn't want to offend gay people, he said so because one of his enemies is gay". ...EXCUSE ME? So if his enemy were black he could also offend black people? .__.
Oh, I see. So the Vatican should legalize inquisition too, since it was one of the worst things the Catholic Church did. Seriously, why do we seem to come back to old times instead of advancing? .-.
