^ Exactly. I live in SoCal and I'm deciding between going to Great America and purchasing a CA Maxx Pass for $99 (for access only to the end of October) or purchasing the same pass at Knotts for a full year's access (until April 8th) for $160.

I just tried Big Red soda (like the bubble gum)....NASTY!

I personally think that X-scream is scarier. I've been on both of them a few times and x-scream still scares me to death. Insanity has a longer line and doesn't really do much for me. But the public seems to love it. However, I enjoy Big Shot the most...the airtime and view at 900 feet in the air is just awesome.

^^For the most part, I do agree with everything you said. However, I was using these examples as reasons to support my argument regarding the "CHOICE" aspect...not the treatment aspect. Yes, I was being over-dramatic and sarcastic...that was the whole point. Of course these things don't happen to everyone, or even to a majority. But it does happen to a lot of people for many reasons. It's a bit scary when you say that "I WILL NOT defend them as I think they deserve all the discrimination they get." Apparently we are still living in the 60's where it's ok to discriminate. I'm sorry, but I don't feel that there's ever a time to discriminate. I agree, there are bad apples that run around like tramps and flaunt pink. Sure, their actions can be shunned, etc. That doesn't make it ok to discriminate against them. My actions (I tend to be "straight acting") usually keep me from getting harrassed, so I do agree with your statement regarding their behaviors. But that still doesn't make it right to hate them, in my opinion. I agree with a lot of things you said, but in the context of a different argument. I was just arguing that gay people don't choose their sexuality. How people choose to behave and society's reaction to those behaviors is a whole other argument that I would probably agree with you...except for the part that "they deserve all the discrimination they get."

Homo here. But I'm open-minded. I accept straight people for the lifestyle that they choose. Is sexuality a choice? From my own experience, knowledge, and from the experience of others, it's not a choice for most. I didn't wake up one day and decide, "Hey, I think that I want to be a person who gets stereotyped, discriminated, and hated. I think I feel like losing a few of my good friends. I think I'll come out to them. While I'm at it, I might as well come out to my parents. Who cares if my own blood disowns me? Like my mother would ever chase me with a hatchet when she finds out (hey, it's happened to a friend). Shoot, I might as well come out at work. I don't really want the job. What's my boss going to do, fire me? That has NEVER happened (sarcasm?) Hmm... When I hold another guy's hand in public, I want everyone to stare at us like we are aliens. Oooh, you know what? I don't need legal marriage, kids, adoption, or civil rights. That stuff is for straight people. Oh and the sound of an increased risk of HIV is just breathtaking. Yeah, this sounds fun. I mean, when I weigh options from both sides, CHOOSING to be gay sounds so much more appealing!" I'm sorry, but if I really had a choice here, I wouldn't choose this option. We don't choose to be discriminated and hated by some. We choose to be ourselves. -Kyle

Super Smash Bros. on Gamecube. Hours of fun!

I have the file on my old computer. If I get around to it, I'll try to find it.

Yeah, X was down on Wednesday when I went. I didn't even see anybody working on anything over there. The lady at guest relations told me that she did not know how long the downtime was going to be and that "it's up to maintenance to decide when the ride is safe to operate again." Does anybody (that works at the park) know about what is going on?
