Has anyone here read "The Wanting Seed" by Anthony Burgess? It's a SF novel set in a future where homosexuality is the prescribed social norm. Very interesting.

One can also question whether anyone has the right to be offended by something. If I claimed to be offended by the colour orange, should you henceforth remove orange from all your pictures to avoid offending me?

well i have to say most, in fact all the those i know  who were anti gay and this includes most of those guys i knew are still hetro.  some of these guys were or are so  anti gay if you went with a flat chested woman they branded you gay. don't get me wrong i'm not saying some anti's aren't gay. just that i find it hard to belive the whole anti gay movement is and was mainly made up of latent homosexuals. it's a bit like saying all the anti hetro gays (and there are more than many people think) are secretly straight. as for  the flawed logic phantast isn't that what was said. all those opposed to x (homosexualty) are secretly in favour of  x (homosexuality) if not what was said...

I'm not saying that all homophobes are latently gay; I'm saying that it is not uncommon for homophobes to turn out in the end to have been gay themselves.

In addition, there is a logic in this case which is not present in your comparisons. In every person there is a mixture of animus and anima, male and female. The balance is different between individuals. It's clear that in some cases, where the balance is rather even, that person incurs anxiety about their true sexual identity, and attempts to repress it by intolerance. The question is, what proportion of intolerant people are so motivated? I don't know the answer to that and neither do you.

You don't know which of your homophobic acquaintances are suppressing their female feelings. They certainly aren't going to tell you. Either they subsequently come out, in which case you know, or they don't come out, and you never know. The fact that they behave in an overtly hetero style means nothing, since you don't know what they may be concealing.

The opposite case you cite, of anti-hetero gays being secretly straight, has no such logic, and no examples that I've ever encountered.

Quote - Aside from that, things are decided on an ad hoc basis. We do allow the representation of historical figures/imagery as long as it's depicting a historical event (or commenting on current events) and not an attempt to glamourize or lionize the indefensible. Thus, an image showing SS troops fighting would be acceptable, whilst a dirigible-boobed woman wearing an SS cap, swastika armband and little else would not.

I'm really not seeing that such an image exactly glamorizes Nazism. I would suggest it rather parodies it.

There's a genre of comic art in which relic Nazis are the bad guys. If you are saying that Renderosity no longer allows depiction of any bad guys except in historical works, then things are getting a bit crazy.

Evidently something happened that I missed. What's all this about, please?

*I think you have to walk a very thin line to avoid these items,even wishing "a merry christmas" can be offending to other religions.

This is a myth. Find me one person who is sincerely offended by "Merry Christmas" on religious grounds. Are you offended by Eid or Diwali?

Quote - > Quote - You know what they say about the fiercest opponents to homosexuality - they tend to be latent homosexuals fearsome of the truth of their situation.  Self-loathing has been the cause of many a dispicable event. ;D

 

by this logic those who are the fiercest opponents of rape or  pediaphilia are latent rapists and pedos. how absurd. in fact the above statement is so absurd i'm still giggling. i've heard this staement made many times and you know who expresses it the most.  homosexuals. and before i 'm accused of being a latent homosexual my thoughts on the subject are to each their own.

Sorry billy, your logic is flawed, since the argument is not "all those opposed to X are secretly in favour of X, for any X". My observation, from my life, is that the most anti-gay people I've met did subsequently come out of the closet. I'm not generalizing here, but examples could also be found from public life. So it's very far from absurd.

Actually with many smaller applications, one is expected to install the new version over the old one. The more complex the application, the less this is likely to be a good idea.

Not to mention the fact that in some cases one may want to run the old version to check compatibility, etc.

What's wrong is cranky things like the library interface. Admittedly, it's much better than it was, but it's still creaky to display and navigate; particularly the difficulty in switching from one runtime to another, or the awkward handling of large folders.

Shame! Shame! I thought "LawnDartLawnDart" was one of the more inspired names around here. Just "LawnDart" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Excellent idea - well done!

Hours? A minute or two at most. It's not even worth saving the adjusted pose.

You always could use poses from different figures. I regularly use Posette poses with Vicky3. Usually they only require slight modification, except maybe to the hands - but applying a stock hand pose corrects that.
