JK Rowling under fire from US Bible belt after outing Dumbledore as gay

Well, from a more pragmatic standpoint, you could be living in a less than ideal, or much less than ideal situation, yet it can be better than the alternatives. It can also cost way more than its worth to do anything to change your situation, i.e. leaving the country, or trying to change the place. Realistically, you're not going to change anything regardless of how much information you promulgate or how emphatically you protest unless you get lucky. So what's left to do? Bitch.

The sentiment that if you bitch about something then you should let it go is ridiculous. People bitch about life all the time. It's far easier to leave life than leaving a country. Just jump of a building. But I would not advocate people doing that. I don't see how the sentiment of "if you don't like this country, leave" makes any more sense than "if you don't like this life, leave."

Either one works for me.

Let me ask you this, MJ, say you are hotdog's close acquaintance and you listen to his bashings of politics/America/society on a day-to-day basis. Aren't you going to get fed up one day and say something to the extent of, "If you don't like it, leave"?

No. If I'm the one fed up with what he's saying I would be the one to avoid him.

I thought we were fucking Kyeruu.

I am shocked that this caught even one person off guard.

I had been under the impression that the entire cast of Harry Potter was as far from heterosexual as the planet Earth is from Tatooine.

I would not have thought that Dumbledore was gay. I mean, looking back at it the signs are all there, but I would not have expected it.

Really? I kept expecting Dumbledore to undress Harry with his wand every time they were alone in his office.

Not that gay=paedophile, of course, but the relationship was there.
