That's most obvious. Another one is "why dioes a weaker person latch onto a stronger person"
I don't know, what do you get out of it" (Jack and Marla, respectively)

Not necessarily sexual, but relates to adolescent crush idea (especialy when you thaake into account how they're living together in sort of a unisex private school domr evetually. Kind of squirellying away from outside world. They live in a society of men.

Nt explicit, but sort of undertone.

I understand that there's nothing necessarilt homoerotic about it, but connotations are definitley there. Y'dig?

I never had any homosexual experiences at my all-boys school either, but I can see how it would be more prevalent there than outside...

My favorite line that didn't make it into the movie:

Jack's voiceover: And the sh!t that comes out of her mouth!

Marla swooning: I want to have your abortion

(It was changed to:" I haven't been fvcked like that since grade school!"

[KrazyHorse]

The two are sort of ties for me.

Grade school line is funnier in its own right, but abortion line fits better into movie.

My current batch of friends includes three "lesbians" who attended girls boarding schools during their adolescent years, so I do dig. And those relationships are different, in that there really isn't any pressure to have sex or get serious other than that which resides internally in the participants.

None of these girls considered themselves gay until they were firmly crushed out on their best friends at school. All of them have had relationships with men since then, one of them is currently dating a man, and one states that she is firmly a lesbian. She's the most dogmatic of them all generally, so I bet she'll stick to it even though her relationships uniformly suck and are abusive.

I agree. For me and my two best male friends the Marla character is someone who we have all dated numerous times, and the abortion line definitely fits better in that it is a line this type of girl is more likely to actually say. But the gradeschool comment isn't a millimeter off of the truth either, just not spoken in that way.

I never thought Fight Club was even remotely gay. I just thought it was really, really funny.

Yes, I've been told NUMEROUS times that it's not supposed to be funny, but it is to me. The first time I saw it in a theatre, I was asked to leave for laughing too loud. Instead of leaving, I slept through the middle hour of the movie, but I did catch the last 20 min. or so.

I borrowed it from a friend recently, and it was even funnier than I remembered. I still missed the last half-hour or so, but that's just the ADD talking.

Sikander: I'm really glad you're not that sorry, because I would never ignore anyone's posts, no matter how much I disagree; I'm posting too, and I KNOW some of the stuff I say is EXTREMELY offensive. Not that I give a sh*t, mind you.

Zylka: Uh, no. I could kick both their asses, so I think I could do better.

not much else to say about the s&m case (which btw is r v brown and others (1993)), except to say that they appealed to the european court of human right which held that their human rights had not been breached.

The ECJ proceedings were unbelievable. Judge Pettiti came out with the following-

"The dangers of unrestrained permissiveness, which can lead to debauchery, paedophilia or the torture of others, were highlighted at the Stockholm World Conference. The protection of private life means the protection of a person's intimacy and dignity, not the protection of his baseness or the promotion of criminal immoralism."

I never understood the campaign against travellers, or as they are known in the US, ****ing hippies. Sure, I wouldn't invite one into my home again, but as long as they're just driving around leaving me alone, what do I care?

[C0ckney]

the problem that people have with them is that their 'alternative lifestyle' involves a lot of thieving, robbing, that is to say, stealing and nicking of everything that isn't nailed down, and having a damn good go at anything that is.

[*End Is Forever*]

...and hijacking other peoples' water and electricity supply, setting up camp where it's wholly inconvenient...

Weird. Our Rainbow Nation folks are a lot more respectful of private property, most dealing and trading and doing services to get what they wanted. It's only when a whole bunch of them showed up for a gathering would they do any damage, which is sort of inevitiable when you get several thousand people showing up in a park.
