Don't talk about what at work?!

So today at work I got into a long and rather amusing conversation with a liberal-liberal atheist about gay rights.  I'm not sure how it started, but both of us being natural-born debaters and cheeky little cusses, it was pretty entertaining and certainly not for the easily offended.  I'll give you a couple of the highlights.

At one point...
Corrine: Everyone needs to put on her big girl panties or his big boy under-roos and get over themselves.

Okay.  So I have this bizarre notion that members of the world (that would be everyone) needs to knock off the selfish behavior and we should all be above and beyond any kind of discrimination.  Also, "right to work" works for me.  If someone is going to not hire or will fire you for any arbitrary or discriminatory reason, then you probably wouldn't want to work there anyway.  And if we are going to talk about making things fair, then I would like smart blond women to become a protected class so I can sue people who think I'm stupid because I'm blond and female.  While we're at it, I should also get paid the same as a man in an equivalent position regardless of my qualifications.  *rolls eyes*

Much later...
Atheist Co-worker: ...God made "them" that way...

Um..."God made..." is not an argument that should be exiting the mouth of an atheist.  But it was a "devil's advocate" moment, so it made for a good laugh and an even more interesting conversation.

Of course we didn't solve any of the world's selfishness problems nor did we come to any real agreement except for that it would be nice if we could just all get along without needing legislation to tell us to or how.
