One half you guys really like to get in the habit of going to topics and "Mobbing" anyone who has a different idea compared to the majority just to feel good about yourselves. The other half of you never have any idea what you are talking about. It makes a bad atmosphere for any intelligent discussion.
One person obviously can't argue with several people.

Do you even watch South Park? They've made jokes about the gay population many times. Did you think Mr. Slave was straight? It's just that none of it is particularly insulting because it isn't easy to insult someone for their lifestyle choice. Oh, he has sex with men... haha? It is pretty easy, however, to laugh that people will follow a book of teachings down to the letter that was written in a time completly different from today. It's pure mockery of the human ability to adapt.
In case you didn't know (and you didn't know), he meant that people only complain about the gay jokes. Not that there were no gay jokes to begin with.

So, Mr. Stereotypical Christian, I say this to you. Tough ****.
So, Mr. Stereotypical Canadian, stfu because flaming someone doesn't make your argument any better.

To luisv: Please don't call other people "stupid" and "newb" if you're in SD. Thank you.
This is exactly what I mean! Did you just completely miss the fact that someone had flamed him just a few posts before you posted? Oh I see, you didn't miss it, it's just the flamer was agreeing with your opinion so you didn't give a crap. Am I right?

Tell me how it's moral to tell someone who's never done anything to hurt you, that he or she is going to hell, is evil/bad, and is the scum of society. To make someone feel ashamed of who they are, and to hate him or herself. I guess it must be moral, because some book of teachings, for which you've never met the author, said so.
IMO it's not. We're not starving for a larger population right now. It's not a person's duty to have many children, if any. The homosexual population is so small, it's not going to significantly affect our population's growth. A homosexual person, cannot possibly hurt you in any meaningful way by being homosexual. Your teachings are out of date. Blind conservatism is what will be mankinds "undoing".
Hey nice job not understanding a single word he said for two pages. He isn't intolerant to gays, he just disagrees with them.
QUOTE
I never said that you said its unnatural, or that you said people wake up and say they are gay. I never even said I was addressing it directly to you. I was just adding a point.
And no point is a "dumb point", its just adding your opinion. I have the right to add my opinion and thoughts as much as you do.
Hello sir. I like apples. I know this is a discussion about intolerance but I can say this because I'm allowed to state my opinion anywhere I want, whenever I want. You can't stop me. I like apples.

I don't consider members of a particular religon a race.
That's nice that you don't. I don't consider blue cheese to be "true" cheese because cheese is supposed to be yellow. Isn't that nice?
QUOTE
now follow my logic b4 screaming "FALLACIES". If what he says is the truth, then you have no reason to even not agree homosexuality.
I'm sorry but we don't speak "MySpace" here, so you have "b4 no reason to even not agree English".
QUOTE
I'm not arguing the genetics of homosexuality, but ex-gay programs DO NOT WORK. There are no "ex-gays", simply people making public the repression of their true feelings. Repressing your feelings and making yourself feel bad about your inherent desires is unhealthy and damaging, as much of the history of the Western world has shown.
Oh yea I definitely believe that. Every single ex-gay pertains to exactly what you said
and every single one of them are simply people repressing their true feelings. Sure. That's just as implausible as me saying that everyone who went on the Jerry Springer show was bi-sexual. You don't know about every single ex-gay in the world. You don't even know about a small percentage of them. So don't pull things out of nowhere.
QUOTE
unless you, yourself are saying you are a homosexual, you have no way to prove how people become just that. if you are, then enlighten us. did you simply wake up one day and say "im gay!", or were u born that way?
Knock Knock? Who's there? Not only does your argument have absolutely nothing to do with what he said, but what you said applies to you also, so therefore
you shouldn't be talking.
