Greetings joether.....
The following is to make a point, it has nothing to do with what I believe about any group anywhere. I am taking your own words and making a few very minor substitutions. Now how do your words sound to you? Modifications are done in italics so everyone will see them.

Oik? Sorry, wrong word for it. 'Homophobia' is the fear of homosexuality And Islamophobia, seems the fear of Islam. And that the word 'oik' means "— n derogatory , slang ( Brit ) a person regarded as inferior due to being ignorant, ill-educated. (World English Dictionary)
Now, which group do we know, in America that is both 'ignorant' and 'ill-educated'? The Move On Organization!
It fits rather well, since most Move On supports are pretty....round....like a pig; and pigs do say 'oik' 'oik' 'oik'.....I would have to say it fits pretty well.
And if you take this as anything but good, humor (which it is inteded as).....get a life. Or get out from cave.
So I guess a much more accurate discription of 'Oikophobia' is 'fear of stupid and under educated liberals, fucking up American's future".
Three small changes. Your original words, my reversal to make the point that others were making. Unthinking, knee-jerk hatred of any group only says bad things about the speaker, not the ones they are insulting. How do you feel about those words now? By the way, no one so far has found anything humorous in your words.
Good point, Malkinius. But to make the point, you also, had to do the same thing. Does that not also make you, the same? Lets say for the moment, we both are correct. So what? Tommorow, and the days afterward, we'll still have people, doing largely, the same thing I did, and others, doing largely, the same thing you did. They are both right, and both wrong. Will you also call each and every one of them out, in a public manner? Will you do it, also, with those who share your same feelings and understanding of the topic?
We demonize each other, and what ever the topic was at the moment (which might not be the original for five pages previous). There is alot of pettiness and cheap jabs on both sides. I'm sure you could agree to that Malkinius. I think, one thing we (and I mean everyone), forgets: we're all BDSM'ers. BDSM has one constant element: passion. Should it surprise anyone, that alot of us on here, are passionate in many areas of our lives (not just politics)? The problem with passion (just like other strong emotions), is that it can sometimes over-ride reason and thinking. Hence, were the demonizing begins.
I'm not bashing you, Malkinius (or at least, would like you to understand, that's not my intention). You made a good point. I think you could have made a better point, if you didn't say anything after the quote of mine (and thus, doing the same thing I did). There was a moment you could have taught something very good. Just want to understand your thinking, and for you, to understand mine. Should I have posted it? Probably not. Should you have answered in your manner? Probably not either. Would I learn, not to do it in the future, if you had not posted? Probably not. I can only learn to do better, right? I believe it would be fair to equality ask, you extend this concept, across the board. Malkinius?
