It makes me feel like we're watching a comedy show instead of a debate. Racism is sad but it sort of makes sense in that skin color often represents social groups. Gay people range from poor to very rich - when people inject it it's like little children saying "Ew! Girls!" or something.</p> <p>As the article you posted mentions, there are many very serious issues facing Venezuela, just like here. It's so easier for them to shout "faggot" (even if they don't use that word) at one another than to actually talk about the serious stuff they will be responsible for. Ugh - politicians. </p> </div></div></div> Fri, 30 Aug 2013 12:13:07 +0000 Orion comment 183153 at http://dagblog.com
