Simpler than that, actually. Everything causes cancer, everywhere. Some things just cause cancer faster than other things. And some states are more anal about labeling things.
I suppose you're correct, "those men" or "those women" could take the place of the general word "they". However, you could just as easily still use "they".
Pray, tell what are some interesting words that are used when referring to a group of single/known gender people in the third person? Like, the word that you'd use to refer to a group of only men, or to a group of only women?
Since you are apparently one of those sheep who follows orders without a thought given to the outcome if you rebelled, I'll spell out for you what would happen if you didn't pay your taxes.
You are supposed to pay your taxes. If you do not pay your taxes, men with government IDs and guns will come and tell you to pay your taxes. These are the men to whom roman_mir is referring, and the fact that you have always meekly paid your taxes, and therefore have never seen the men with guns, does in no way nullify the fact that taxes are extracted from you under the threat of men with guns showing up if you fail to pay them.
People rarely talk loudly on their phones on busses where I live, and never get assaulted.
You're lying. I don't even need to argue. I don't even need to know where you live, or bother checking the public records to find out the number of assaults committed there in the last year.
go to the gym and bulk up
Right: violence, or the perceived threat of violence, is the solution. That asshole will definitely back down when faced with the threat of escalating the confrontation to physical violence.
or lobby for sane gun control laws
Right: interfering with everyone else's right to own a gun is definitely going to fix the problem. Also, interfering with everyone's right to own a gun will be much less assholish than jamming a handful of people's cell phones because they were too cowardly to stand up in union against the asshole.
If someone is being a loud asshole on the bus, the ideal solution is 6 people standing up, not one guy with a ripped 6-pack standing up and trying to be a hero. Strength in numbers beats machoism.
They're not innocent. They're meekly sitting there and allowing the asshole to continue being an asshole, and it's quite obvious that they would also meekly sit there and watch you get beaten to a bloody pulp if you actually tried confronting the asshole and found that he's not only a loud asshole but a violent asshole too. Therefore, it's justifiable collateral damage if a few of their calls drop.
It is intercourse- but it isn't sex. Not sex done properly. Not sex done STRAIGHT- without perversions such as homosexuality, oral intercourse, or anal intercourse.
No True Scotsman.
I just proved, from the dictionary, that: - "straight" means "heterosexual" - "heterosexual" is related to "sexual intercourse" between members of the opposite sex, and - "sexual intercourse" is not restricted to penis-vagina intercourse, but in fact includes "perversions" such as oral and anal intercourse.
You're the one who needs to get the definitions straight, because your dictionary is apparently wrong.
heterosexual adj 1a : of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward the opposite sex 1b : of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between individuals of opposite sex
sexual intercourse noun 2 : intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that does not involve penetration of the vagina by the penis
There you are: the dictionary says that straight people can have anal sex.
Well, I'm sure that men who engage in consensual sex with animals would have something to say about being lumped in with homosexuals. I suppose you are right to differentiate between the two.
I'm actually going to have to check that site - when I get home - because it definitely shows up when SafeSearch is set for "Moderate" and does not when SafeSearch is set for "Strict".
So, like I said, I'm going to have to check and see whether displaying it for a "Moderate" SafeSearch is appropriate.
That's hardly necessary. I figured out that it was a joke without even needing to know where it came from. Granted, I thought it was more or less yet another "the FBI will never find me here - brb doorbell" post. Also, candleja
The guy (assumption) that you're replying to is certainly a jackass. He may well be homophobic, but really you have no evidence for that.
As my reply to the other commenter went, homophobes have a well-known heterosexual bias.
By assuming (as you admit, without solid proof) that the comment was made by a woman, their own heterosexual bias was showing. I.e. it was a homophobic assumption to make.
I'm sorry to break it for you, but homophobes have a well-known heterosexual bias.
FTFY.
We are well beyond the point where you can automatically assume that anyone who calls someone their husband is a woman.
And for all GGP's smugness over the fact that this person on the internet had the audacity to imply that they were female and should have known what to expect, GGP wasn't even correct, because the post hadn't actually implied any such thing.

An IP address is sort of like the phone number on a poster which reads, "CAT: must go. incontinence too much. free to good home. call xxx-xxx-xxxx before Valentine's Day if you want a live delivery."
Today I saw a monster-ass truck with a Calvin pissing decal on the back window that read (as the being-pissed-on) "Pres Obama haters".
Made me want to take a piss on the driver's door, but then I realized it's really not worth being a lifetime sex offender and so I figured it would probably be a better idea to just dump a pitcher of trucker's lemonade (a.k.a. piss) onto the windshield.
Calling Ron Paul a non-interventionist is like calling your neighbor a good neighbor because he wears earplugs to bed so the screams and cries don't keep him awake.

no u.
straight adj
3h : HETEROSEXUAL
heterosexual adj
1a : of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward the opposite sex
1b : of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between individuals of opposite sex
sexual intercourse noun
2 : intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that does not involve penetration of the vagina by the penis
There you are: the dictionary says that straight people can have anal sex.
That doesn't say ANYTHING about incest. Nothing but selection bias.
Well, I'm sure that men who engage in consensual sex with animals would have something to say about being lumped in with homosexuals. I suppose you are right to differentiate between the two.
So you're tolerant of men who fuck men, but you're bigoted toward men who fuck dogs. Got it.

Protip: tuna is a fish. The stuff you buy in a can is not made from actual mermaids.
I always knew my fucking problems were because of having the wrong chemistry.
No... that you think people's gender is relevant if and only if they are willing to fuck you.
You seem uptight. It'd be easier to pull those statistics from you-know-where if you didn't clench.

state one's opinions in a way that doesn't put one's own gender on display.
She should have anticipated the obvious reactions to her post
And this is where I'm going to call you out, you homophobic jackass. Which of the following language was "putting one's own gender on display"?
my husband's ... a numbers guy, I'm a language person
"sandytaru" is a person with a husband. It is not evident what his or her own gender is.
Don't ask.

An IP address does identify someone.
Let me put it to you this way.
An IP address is sort of like the phone number on a poster which reads, "CAT: must go. incontinence too much. free to good home. call xxx-xxx-xxxx before Valentine's Day if you want a live delivery."
It's someone's number.
Today I saw a monster-ass truck with a Calvin pissing decal on the back window that read (as the being-pissed-on) "Pres Obama haters".
Made me want to take a piss on the driver's door, but then I realized it's really not worth being a lifetime sex offender and so I figured it would probably be a better idea to just dump a pitcher of trucker's lemonade (a.k.a. piss) onto the windshield.
I didn't though. I didn't have to go.
Try this on for size instead:
