I know this might sound offensive, but it's an honest question


I haven't seen this movie, and I must be wrong about this, but I thought Truman Capote slept with gay men and then killed them? I might be thinking of a different person, but I could have sworn this was him...

This entire thread has made my day. I am not being sarcastic - I found this thread hilarious and poignant. I remember when I was 19, my boss, who was an ass, screamed at me for some error I made. I remember using the word "assume" in my response to him. Then he said to me that worn-out cliché - "Assume makes an ASS out of U and ME." Over the years I have learned to never assume anything!

I also find it unfortunate when people respond to postings by saying someone is "stupid," an idiot" or whatever. I appreciate intelligent discussion - don't pay attention to those that throw out personal attacks - that only reflects on them, not you. The Internet is a great place, so just enjoy the good stuff and ignore the rest. Peace to you.

That would have been something. A gay who sleeps with men, murders them and then writes books about it!

I don't think the OP finished the movie. That would have cleared up a lot.

I feel sorry for the kid....he didn't know how many people will jump you for asking something that he could have easily researched himself.

In the "old days," it was common for people to ask questions and not get incredibly rude and volatile responses. When did it become shameful to ask questions whether there are other methods of research available or not?

-Dad, who's that?
-Oh, that? One of my patients. He's...sick.
-Will he live?
-It's looking grim.

OP: "I thought Truman Capote slept with gay men and then killed them..."

In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "What a MA-ROON!!!"

ROFL!!!

Maybe Capote DID sleep with gay men and then kill them.

Did the OP hear something somehow from someone who knew something we don't??

I can sort of picture it... Hmmmm... maybe he struck when they were sleeping...?
