No, I am not writing from Nevada.

The event attracts thousands Bay Area residents every where. Better yet, the right kind of people leave for the desert for the week-long festivity. When they are there, they are not here. San Francisco is suddenly charming, and the streets have become civilized.

I wish Burning Man is a year-round thing. There is so much fun there, why should they come back?

Agreed. I also feel the same way about Superbowl Sunday, or any day the local football team is playing. The people left on the street are so much nicer.

You might like Colorado or some other non-coastal area.

The coastal areas are like giant asshole vacuums, which suck all the I'm-a-unique-snowflake jerks out of the rest of the United States. This leaves the other sorts of asshole behind, but seems to result in fewer assholes per square mile.

Brentwood or Napa are like one giant Whole Foods: nothing but entitled, law-school, screenplay-writing assholes in every direction.

Superbowl Sunday is great too! We were able to get into State Bird Provisions easily.

I am fine with special snowflakes. In fact, I mingle fine with creative types. I just cannot stand entitled hipsters.

Peter, youre never going to rid yourself of these freaks until SF has a huge earthquake and swallows up the entire gay population.

4   Peter P   2014 Aug 24, 7:37am  

I like gay people. They are really not the problem. Besides, what they do in private is nobody's business.

The creative types are great people in general. However, in SF, many go beyond celebrating their uniqueness. Instead, they insist that other ways must be wrong.

why stay out there when they can come back for taxpayer funded benefits, after all theyre 'minorities' right?

Folsom Street Fair isn't exactly 'what they do in private'. http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/folsom-street-fair-2013-nsfw/Slideshow?oid=2731277

I actually think the gay population is the best thing of San Francisco. They are willing and able to live the way they choose, not a way chosen for them. This is in itself a beautiful thing.

I am not bothered by the optics.

I feel more offended by aggressive dogs and their asshole owners.

Gay People raise up the property values. True Believers(tm) and their storefront churches are generally found in areas of weak economic growth, meth labs, etc.

10   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 7:47am  

that shit looks like the Mordor scene from the Lord Of The Rings.

who the fuck would live in a place like this?

11   Peter P   2014 Aug 24, 7:51am  

Still, I respect people who embrace their true selves.

I certainly would like to have more gay neighbors. They tend to be intelligent and neat.

12   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 7:53am  

lets face it, it's a city for flagrant perverts, dreamy utopians, and financial scams. been going on forever. Before there was silicon valley there was the GOLD RUSH.

14   Peter P   2014 Aug 24, 7:55am  

Perverts tend to live in economically depressed areas, especially those with long winters.

There are utopians in SF, and they might be the main problem. From countless movies we already know that utopia is really dystopia in disguise.

15   Peter P   2014 Aug 24, 7:56am  

TOS, they look like fun people to hang out with.

16   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:02am  

literally this demonstration was done in public in San Francisco. these people are sick in the head.

TOB, you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with looking at (and re-publishing) things that you claim should not be seen.

these pics are from the mainstream publication SFWeekly.

I think youre just embarrassed that this is actually what is going on in your beloved city.

TOB, you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with looking at (and re-publishing) things that you claim should not be seen. You seem consumed with hatred and violence, and frankly you should re-think your life and ask yourself why you keep searching the web for images that you claim to find "sickening" and "disgusting".

The Original Bankster says

I read SF Weekly sometimes, and without any embarrassment, and I don't live in Phoenix. The question is, why are you so obsessed with SF Weekly and all the other sources you've been scouring for these images? There is obviously something very wrong with you, and the most likely explanation is your abject terror at the recurring desires that you repress. You crave these images and find pretexts to seek them out, supposedly to express your disapproval, but you can't stop thinking about them.

20   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:13am  

dude im not 'obsessed'. It's really easy to type in 'san francisco degenerates' and these pictures come up.

21   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:14am  

unfortunately, the 'gay community' is nothing as it's pictured in TV ala Ellen Degeneras et al.

22   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:17am  

of course im going to discriminate if some nutjob wants to prance around with a cock ring in public where there are children and such.

26   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:50am  

oh yes these photos just turned my whole concept of gay people around.

27   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 8:56am  

do you, Brad, take Angelo to be your lawfully wedded fudge packer?

wow if San Francisco would just get their heads out of their asses for a moment, take a break from the 24/7 liberal propaganda and really consider how UTTERLY INSANE THIS CONCEPT IS they just might avoid total societal collapse.

Dude, just go to freakin' Grindr or your local bathhouse already.

Seriously man, don't let the hate consume you. Down that path lies the Dark side.

29   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 9:25am  

I read an article about Grindr

Is there a single normal person on earth that doesnt find that shit repulsive?

and they want us to spend billions more trying to cure a disease only THEY get. Gee I wonder why you have a disease when dozens of men have ejaculated in your rectum? clearly no correlation there.

30   The Original Bankster   2014 Aug 24, 9:35am  

yes stupid africans who fuck like animals and gays in san francisco have something in common.

do I have to spell it out?

They're nicer people than you?

32   mell   2014 Aug 24, 11:49am  

Agreed. Big days where the city is suddenly empty are the best. Therefore 2008 should have kept the city in its natural equilibrium and breathing. But since the Fed/gov intervened, a lot of SF neighborhoods are suddenly suffocating again in traffic, shit, nerds, and dogs. SF is best enjoyed in peripheral neighborhoods and days where everyone is gone, such as when they are paying $300 to harass the desert ;)

33   NDrLoR   2014 Aug 25, 1:53am  

Took 34 comments to work the degenerates out of their systems.

34   dublin hillz   2014 Aug 25, 2:19am  

I know someone who used to go to burning man for at least 5 year in a row. Eventually ended up becoming an orthodox jew somehow. I don't know if he was crazier during burning man phase or currently. The one common denominator seems to be the "conversations" that are more like monologues.

Come to Montreal, where straight guys can actually have sex with women.

36   Tenpoundbass   2014 Aug 25, 2:55am  

TOB if you keep looking back you're going to turn into a pillar of salt.

He may have gotten burned out on it.

I like the VEGAN tattoo. It must mean he is into a healthy lifestyle.

I hope these chicks aren't from Montreal.

apparently the official Bay Area response to "there are perverts in our neighborhood" is

"they look like fun!"

"they increase property prices"

I think these are castrating men-hating Yankee lesbians-in-the-closest.

In other parts of the globe, S&M ladies dress up as mistresses (latex, leather, or lace) and the role playing thing is well developed.

This is street theater trash.
