Because everyone else is worried about being politically correct while the South, thank God, holds on the to values we believe and doesn't give a damn about what other people think of us.

i just want to double check that all other minorities receive the same discrimination at your chapters because otherwise you aren't truly sticking to your values.

I don't see anything in how we choose members as discrimination. To discriminate is deny someone a right, and membership in my fraternity is NOT a RIGHT but rather a PRIVILEGE of which we can give, or take away as we see fit. If you don't like the way we do business, you don't have to, but don't criticize us for exercises our rights.

I doubt it, actually sounds admirable to me. This country's culture is going into the tank.

Remind me of what this country's culture is.

How many posts have you been reading, "new person?"

Now, does this diversion attempt mean that you can't remind me of what this country's culture is?

To be fair I fully agree with him. You point out mistakes, make jokes that aren't funny, take things out of context, and ask people to define things when it's obvious what it meant. And then act like you somehow have made this site so much better with your presence that you would be indispensable.

So this means you can't answer my question, either?

How many trolls/sockpuppets/whatever does it take to change a light bulb?

What we had before it became acceptable for oiled-up gay men in full bondage gear to parade through the streets of downtown Atlanta every year. If heterosexuals did that they would be arrested instantly. Not to compare gays in fraternities to that, but a view on the changes in our culture which the South generally protests and rightly so.

That doesn't answer my question but it leads to a question:

So you have a problem with oiled up gay men in full bondage gear parading around. Not with gay men who live their lives just as you should live yours, only with a man?

I don't personally think it's acceptable, but I also believe quite strongly in personal rights and they can do whatever they want as long as it's not around me. If they're in my fraternity, that creates a very, very uncomfortable situation for all involved. And just to state simple fact, it's not going to be allowed in 95% of Southern fraternities. I can only think of one here with an openly gay brother, and they're quite small.

PT-While I think I understand what you are trying to say, you need to use a better legal analogy.

You'd have to elaborate, it was not my intent to use a "legal" analogy whatever that may be. I was just trying to use an obvious and graphic analogy.

Back to basics.

I asked him to remind me of what America's culture is.

If this country's culture is going into the tank, that implies an understanding of what our culture was before the decay and what the culture should be.

So far, I've read about Christianity and hardwork. Is that all that went and goes into the creation and perpetuation of a solid American culture?
