Audio: Nixon’s Secret White House Tapes

Poor fella, his brilliant mind turned on him and created an unconquerable paranoia.

 

The Romans and Greeks weren't homosexuals.

 

Some were. In the way that some people are homosexuals. And it wasn't objectionable or having a stigma. But make no mistake, they are a completely different culture than us and might as well be from another planet. They also were cool with slavery, infanticide, spousal abuse, pedophilia, torture, etc

 

Yes. Some were, just as some people today are. But plenty of older heterosexual roman and Greek men had relationships with young boys that often included a sexual aspect. Americans hear about old men having sexual relations with young boys and they immediately think homosexual pedophilia in the American sense. But as you put very well, they were a completely different culture. Thus trying to understand how they function through our American lenses just doesn't work.

It's similar to male touching in other cultures that would seem strange to us.

 

I think we agree.

 

We do.

 

Will you two kiss already?

 

I'll start the slow clap when it happens

 

You can't see our hands. When in Rome...

 

JQK has spent a lot of time in Rome recently. Just saying. . .

 

I'm actually in Tennessee currently. Good ole Rocky Top. Heading to Gatlinburg tomorrow. Kinda wanna stop in Knoxville to see Neyland. It never loses its allure.

 

Stop by and have a beer with Sab. And a finger.

 

I'll be 23 in a month. I think I've reached the age where it wouldn't be looked down upon to have a beer with any of you guys.

Except it's Sab, so it's doomed from the start.

Now, how long before Jay shows up mentioning the tailgate I skipped to hang out with Newt?

 

Ever wish you could just go back into the closet?

 

Nah. I'm a fan of sunlight.

 

How long will you be in town?

 

In Cleveland til tomorrow around noon, then in Gatlinburg until Sunday. I'll be with family the whole time, so I won't be able to venture too far.

Idk if hanging out with you is the best idea for my apparent reputation or for ending any Sab jokes though.

 

Who said I was asking to hang out?

I'm running east tennessee's largest homosexual ring. I just needed to know when the competition was leaving.

 

Ah, fair enough.

 

LOL at "homosexual ring." I heard it as if spoken by a rural Church of God preacher.
