Everybody should own a good pair of fap goggles. Safety first

I guess if people were truly tolerant then when someone made an "anti-gay" or "homophobic" statement those that profess tolerance as a such a virtue would just tolerate the statement and "live and let live". I will admit your last sentence is very true for me as well.

This is the most backasswards logic I've ever heard.

This is seriously one of the dumbest things I've ever read, and probably the lamest attempt at justification for homophobia I've ever seen.

If someone is yelling the N word around your kid do you "live and let live"? Does that imply you're ok with hate? I have a friend who threw that word around until I told him I'm not ok with it...which conveys that to other people. Not telling you to change your views...when you express them? Expect a reaction.

I don't have a problem with you doing that at all. I just don't like the idea of "thought police" and shutting down debate by throwing out code words like "hate", "racist" and "homophobe". If someone has an opinion about about it they can have the opinion. I don't let my kids watch movies with sex and inappropriate content. If it is someone yelling in a public place where kids are then yes I would address the individual but I believe firmly that individual has a right to their opinion whether I agree or not. Freedom means we take the good with the bad. I would rather there be more than less freedom. That includes the right for people to live their life however they see fit as long as it doesn't impede the liberty of others.

It is only dumb if you are closed minded and only see one side. Homophobia? I am justifying free expression and open thought. Everyone doesn't have to think the same way. You are the one throwing out the names and labels to discourage any opinion other than yours.

You have the freedom to say and think whatever you want; you do not have the freedom from consequences of said thoughts or words.

Why are you going to address the individual if you feel they have the right to their opinion? What are you going to say to them?

I'm asking you since you seemed to think there was a better way to convey the characters are gay without them beingktge least bit physical.

Once they started talking to each other it was very clear they were gay. In the context of the scene it made complete sense for them to kiss.

Let's change the direction of the thread a bit.

Does anyone else agree that Daryl would have had to throw the crossbow down a long time ago?

Anyone that has knowledge of compound bows and crossbows know that he would have ran out of bolts to shoot.

Modern day crossbows shoot way to fast and would go through the body or head of a walker.

I just assume he's raided few sporting goods stores.

He recycles them...he doesn't leave them behind.

As his primary weapon yes, he would have ran out of bolts in season 2. Not to mention it takes to long to load.

As a backup for when quiet kills are needed its almost the perfect weapon.

The actor who plays Noah has been cast as a regular on the Criminal Minds spin off. So I would assume he will bite the dust before the season is over.

Let's say the walkers skulls were hard enough to stop the arrow. That would be like shooting the arrow into a tree. Carbon arrows are very sturdy but even they would have damaged to the point of not being usable.

Also, to remove them from the skull would require cutting them out with a knife. If you've ever shot a tree and tried to retrieve the arrow without damaging it, you know this is very time consuming and almost impossible.

If Darryl's arrows are bothering you how in the world did you stomach that van going over the bridge scene, not to mention countless other things that have gone on in this show?

You just answered your own question. :)

All the more reason NOT to cram a dramatic gay kissing scene down the audience's throat.
