    As much as I feel sorry for these people, it amazes me that anyone goes into writing with the expectation of making a living at all, ever.

    I will not reply directly to the comment about prison sex, because I do not wish to promote it. Suffice it to say that not all gay men enjoy musical theater, and men who have sex with men don’t even necessarily identify as gay.

    I would happily fuck your ass by way of experiment/charity—if you could first be in touch with some pics, etc.

    @oudemia: @lukeoneil47: Prison rape jokes are inherently misogynist and homophobic. The misogynist premise: rape can be an acceptable punishment that the victim deserves. The homophobic premise: man-on-man sex is bad, degrading, and funny.

    @iplaudius: fuckingoldman, the guy in that picture is hiding a pathetic frame under all that hair and all those layers. I would wipe the floor with him. What is he, like a buck forty on a good day? OH, BUT HE HAS A MOTORCYCLE. Well then.

    Men rape. Generally women. That’s why it’s generally misogynist to make general statements justifying rape.

    Homosexuals are men who like to have sex with men and are capable of romantic love with men. Sticking your dick in a vagina doesn’t make you straight any more than fucking an ass in prison makes you gay.

    @iplaudius: Look, perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. My aunt was killed six years ago by a drunk driver and the guy who hit her got a three year sentence. That's total bullshit. He should've gotten the death sentence, and yes I mean that seriously. I believe in capital punishment. This fucker got one year work release! Try to imagine how you would feel about that if it was your mother that he killed. So he gets this absurd sentence and then makes light of it by twittering like he's in San Quentin or something. I'll change my original statement, he doesn't need to be raped, he needs to be stabbed and left to bleed to death somewhere.

    Until you've lost somebody due to someone's negligence you don't know how you'll react. Besides my aunt being killed, my son was killed in a horrible accident last year where somebody was completely careless. I can't go into details about it because there is a lawsuit pending. Even if we win the lawsuit my son is gone and the prick responsible is still walking around a free man. I still don't know what I will do even if we do win the lawsuit. Giving somebody money in exchange for a loved ones life is not a fair exchange by any means. Again, I didn't mean to make this personal with you, but when somebody dies I can relate to the story and look for true justice to be served.

    @iplaudius: A couple of years ago I was talking to a gay guy who'd done four years in a state prison (He said he'd been railroaded; I have no idea.). I asked whether sexual assault was a big problem for gay men. He claimed it wasn't; he said that gay men in prison are usually more than happy to have consensual sex. He said the real issue was straight men raping other straight men, in particular, black men assaulting smaller white men. (We're both African American). I was taken aback and asked why.

    Payback, he said.

    Then, because he was outrageous and wanted to freak me out, he started to act out a prison rape.

    But to get to the point, heterosexual men do rape other straight men in prison.

    @fuckingoldman: I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been through. I'm glad you're able to see past that and recognize that certain kinds of punishment are barbaric, no matter what the crime was. My concern in such a case isn't even so much for the rights of the accused, it's for what kind of society I want to be a part of.

    @MissNormaDesmond: Thank you. I sent you a private message explaining a little bit about where I'm coming from. I'm with you on the whole society thing, but how do we fix it? (rhetorical question) I am open to listening to all suggestions, and am always willing to say I was wrong if that's the case.

    @fuckingoldman: Hey man, I’m sorry for making assumptions about you. You’re right that comments are more for fun than anything else; it’s annoying when people parse comments the way I tend to do. (One man’s snark, etc.)

    I totally agree that people who commit crimes like this one get off way too easy: when a person is injured or killed, the criminal should face a serious punishment. I say let the potheads out, keep these assclowns in longer.

    If you are 190lbs and a real biker, then yes, you most likely would win in a fight. So, if it came to that, I would have to bring my older brother along, who is a biker, hunter, and a union electrician in construction—though not to fight you. While you guys were trading war stories, I would escape. (In fact, from now on, when I read your comments, I think I will pretend you are my brother. Ha.) Anyway, cheers.

    @iplaudius: Thanks man, your coolness is showing. You're right, I'm sure your brother and I would have lots to talk about. No need for escape, after this I would definitely buy you a couple of drinks. I'm totally with you on the potheads thing too. Weed is what'skept my marriage together for 23 years. It's funny how when my wife and I are in the middle of a kncok down drag out fight, we break out the pipe and in ten minutes we're laughing at how stupid we'd been.

    Thanks again man, now I have to heart you, but in a non-gay way. *smile* Be cool.
