Huh, glad to have provided a new meme! (I've already seen it turn up on somebody's LiveJournal...)

This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here. This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.
Just tell them it's a matter of principle, Gandalfe. If they can't understand ethics that's their problem.

What? I couldn't resist. (And one of my non-buffista friends already wants it as a .sig file quote...)
Not at all, I'm flattered, amych!
Madrigal Costello's Catholicism:
[upon being told that infertile couples could have non-procreative sex becaue God might give them a miracle] ...When I asked why not let gay couples marry and see if God wants to let them have a miracle, I was told to go xerox stuff in the rectory.
...And there was the time I chose Mary Magdalene as my saint for confirmation, partially because the reading in our Vulgate would require the arch-bishop to say "whore" during the ceremony.
To me the funny part is that a couple years later, that arch-bishop resigned when he was outed. So now I have an excuse for being less than het. I wasn't born this way, I didn't choose this way, I was confirmed this way.

I mean, c'mon, would *you* have sex with Scalia if it weren't your sacred obligation?
flea: Isn't Scalia/Thomas canon?

"Wha..? I didn't mean it, I never saw that damned bridge!"
"Nevermind, Ted."
Burrell:
To weigh in on the "so-called homosexual agenda," I think the fear is that, if sex is not closely circumscribed by marriage & procreation, then there is the dangerous specter of purely carnal sex, sex for pleasure. And I guess some fear that, if it seems like a perfectly acceptable option, more of us will be engaging in masturbation, oral sex, sodomy, etc, and will never get around to fixating on marriage & children as our only option out of eternal sexual frustration.
Admittedly, the logic is deeply flawed, but I think that's how it goes.
