		<description>&lt;p&gt;Elin,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As English is not your first language, let me say plainly:  I certainly agree with you.  I could care less if it was a long about men kissing men, women kissing women, or women kissing pigs.  For me “evil” is not defined by the ( horrors! ) homosexual subtext.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RATHER&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Insofar as one person celebrates &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; another human, that's where evil, in my opinion begins.   Such is the content of this entire post.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The narrator celebrates &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; another person for her exploration.  In much the same way that I do not approve of &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; someone to explore one's one sexual identity, I don't support &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; your parents for free room and board, nor do I support &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; a girlfriend for her cool car, nor do I support &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; someone for free drinks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And I don't need a 1-nighter, my intelligent and beautiful girlfriend satisfies me, and she's wicked at the Charleston.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I can't belive when you are wasting all your time writing about a song that you think is "evil". It's hilarious!
It's just a song about kissing. So what if she kissed a girl, there is many more girl that have done it. When treyr drunk or if theyr lesbian but why does is matter. ;S
You have waaay to much sparetime. Maybe you should go out sometime and meet some nice onenightstand!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@SB:  I believe commedienne Sandra Berhardt called those "LUGS": Lesbians Until Graduation.  She opined that there was no male equivalent, a beat, "Oh wait, they're called fraternities".  That would explain your non-exposure: their half-lives are too short.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;@Mice:  Well said and thanks for sharing &#8212; I suppose the cruelty and the cheap commercialism of it all really got to me, it looks like you're echoing the same sentiments.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think your criticism is fair and it is funny (what, like a clown !?!?!). I do regret my experiments, and furthermore I do think it is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pop music, like movies have a hard time condemning anything as any subject mentioned in them is glamorized. Maybe punk-ized would be a more current term since everything is steam-punk, victorian-punk, and whatnot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Really I doubt the scriber of this song is thinking about these things so much, I think the idea of the song was to be sorta college lesbian, which is so much cooler than being straight these days. Plus everyone loves those cute college lesbians, guys, girls everyone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It does undermine the gay thing though in a Will and Grace sort of insidious way. This is the way our culture works. Reject, persecute, co-opt, water down, discard. It is disgusting but that is the culture we love and feel like we are a part of. It is so Marshall McLuhan it hurts. Even he would be shocked how right he was.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But to your point, you can experiment, but you will regret it. I think is a valid one. I wish I could take back a lot of what I said and did. Would I be a better person for it now though? More like the subject of a Science Fiction movie than anything else. Do the ends justify the means? Never. Are kids cruel? Of course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyone is horrible and sadistic until they themselves experience what it feels like to have your heart squished till it pops like a nasty calzone.  Well, at least that was had to happen to me.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A fair point Mr. Mice, we all have those people we should have treated better.  Perhaps my voice is the one of experience that says “you'll regret doing wrong to decent people who didn't deserve to be the experiment you carried out.”&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don't think its good to experiment on people based on my understanding of what good is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do admit to being young and dumb and experimenting on people. I messed up a lot of people trying to figure myself out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not saying its right, nor endors-able, just something I have experienced.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My original draft of this had mention of the Sobule song and video, but it was unwieldy in text.  At least in &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; song there's the implication that Sobule actually &lt;em&gt;likes&lt;/em&gt; the girl.  As the implication goes: “It was just like kissing me, only better.”&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Everyone when you call these agencies back,your calling them back to their
1-800 number. they then  have your real name and number, because of ANI,
Automatic Number Identification. All 800 services have the ability to read the persons true number and name. Sort of like caller I D, but I believe you cant block your number from them, so they no who you are when you call. I had a collection agency call me, I told her the person you are looking for does not live
here and I am not that person, and I do not no this person. Actually she was very nice, she said she would take me off the list, so will see.&lt;/p&gt;
