Re: Should Children learn about sexual orientations in schoolsSo you're saying you do have a right over PDA's. If you are there and it grosses you out then the PDA has to stop because somehow you have a right to stop other people's expression of love? What if I were in a room with a heterosexual couple and they were making out. Do I have a right to stop them because I don't like it? The answer is no. Whether or not you like what they are doing doesn't affect whether or not they have a right to do it.(Original post by DYKWIA)
I had every right. I agree that I cannot restrict gay PDA's because I don't like it, because I am not everywhere at once. That said, if I see gay men making out, why can't I tell them to stop doing something that grosses me out and scares me?
That's still not how that works no. You still need to brush up on your law. You have no right to vote on another person's civil liberties. Period. You also have yet to provide any kind of demonstrable harm. Or even theoretical harm that is realistic.It does when homosexuality harms us all.
1. Nobody cares if YOU like it. You liking or disliking it is irrelevant.1. I don't like it. 2. It leads to more of a gender divide. 3. It leads to an increase in gay STDs. 4. It confuses children and isn't good for them. 5. It will lead to an increase in the number of male rape victims.
2. That's an unsubstantiated claim. Unless you have a source to back that up?
3. Again that is also false. In fact reality and studies show that it is a false assertion. And basic logic would lead one to believe the exact opposite.
4. You have yet to show how/why it is confusing and 'not good' for them. So another unsubstantiated claim.
5. Another unsubstantiated claim. How can you claim that? We already discussed your opinion of rape that also doesn't make any sense.
The state does. You are willingly harming you child which is grounds to take them away from you and press charges against you.You would have no right to stop me trying.
Again ECT does not work. It's called conditioning and doesn't change anything but suppresses urges. Thats all. Same with the drugs for 'persuasion' you mentioned. You should really read A Clockwork Orange. It shows the results of such 'therapies'.Electro-shock therapy would work, but it isn't legal any more. Otherwise just certain drugs and therapy in order to persuade you that homosexual thoughts are not good.
Just because you were angry/upset/whatever doesn't mean you didn't mean to say it. They didn't provoke you. They didn't have to stop their PDA. You had no right to stop them as stated above.Don't tell me to 'grow up'. I didn't mean to call them a ***, but it happened because I was annoyed at them. I didn't deserve to be hit for standing up to gays, especially when they provoked me by not stopping their gay PDA's.
Which is sad because you don't even know how to back up your opinions/arguments. Even big time republicans would be ashamed at your lack of understanding that you need a credible basis for your claims.I do try. I am a young republican and I do try and fight gay marriage where I can.
You aren't ignorant because of your different views. You are ignorant because you don't critically analyze your own opinions or basis for them.Believe what you want, i'm neither. I'm not ignorant just because I have different views from you though. -
Re: Should Children learn about sexual orientations in schoolsYou're seriously just being an arse now; lesbians are not there purely for your entertainment, they are still nasty gay people. Not only are you trying to impose the 'separate but equal' idea on straight and gay people, you are also trying to impose it on the gay community. Stupid...(Original post by DYKWIA)
Only if they are good looking lesbians. but that is beside the point, I believe gay marriage is wrong, not matter whether the people involved are male or female.
I'm beginning to worry you have some sort of short term memory loss - you said in the PREVIOUS SENTENCE that you cannot restrict gay PDA. You have no right to restrict who can show affection in public and who can't, so stop pretending you do. Yes, there is a time and a place for different kinds of PDA, so if they were making out somewhere it was not appropriate, then by all means ask them to tone it down, but NOT because they are gay but because it isn't the time and the place (and of course you would have to do the same for straight couples, but I don't imagine you object to that at all do you?)I had every right. I agree that I cannot restrict gay PDA's because I don't like it, because I am not everywhere at once. That said, if I see gay men making out, why can't I tell them to stop doing something that grosses me out and scares me?
Kindly explain how. Pretty sure it doesn't harm me.It does when homosexuality harms us all
1. Well boo hoo, nobody actually gives a s***1. I don't like it. 2. It leads to more of a gender divide. 3. It leads to an increase in gay STDs. 4. It confuses children and isn't good for them. 5. It will lead to an increase in the number of male rape victims.
2. How does it lead to an increased gender divide, that just doesn't make sense.
3. You are on a UK forum, so it is time you listened to some UK stats, ones that are verified and not from bull**** sources like the FRC; in 2010, the majority of new diagnoses of HIV were among heterosexual men, not homosexual men.
4.1. It only confuses kids because of the multitude of mixed signals surrounding homosexuality; we have homophobes like you saying that it's wrong, while right-minded, tolerant people are keen to stress that it actually makes no difference whatsoever, which is why education is needed in schools to stress that it makes no difference, and to reduce 'confusion'
4.2. How is it not good for them? What evidence do you have to back that up?
5. Haha, now you're just being ridiculous - or have you finally grasped what a joke is??
You have no right to stop gay PDA/insult gay people/oppose gay marriage when it has nothing to do with you/a whole host of other equally stupid things that you do, yet you still do/try to do, so forgive us if we're not inclined to listen to you on this point.You would have no right to stop me trying.
It isn't legal anymore because it doesn't work and just causes harm to the individual involved.Electro-shock therapy would work, but it isn't legal any more. Otherwise just certain drugs and therapy in order to persuade you that homosexual thoughts are not good.
Don't pretend being hit ONCE is the same as being bullied, it's just offensive to anyone who ever has been. There is no accidental way to insult somebody to their face, so I'm sorry but I'm inclined to think you very much meant it.Don't tell me to 'grow up'. I didn't mean to call them a ***, but it happened because I was annoyed at them. I didn't deserve to be hit for standing up to gays, especially when they provoked me by not stopping their gay PDA's.
Jheez, standing up to gays? Because a gay couple expressing their affection is such a disgusting blemish on society - you're right, how did I not see that before?! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STOP A GAY COUPLE EXPRESSING THEIR FEELINGS FOR ONE ANOTHER IN PUBLIC. Please stop pretending what you think about a gay couple does actually matters. If someone asked you to stop, saying it was because heterosexual PDA is disgusting and then insulted you, you would be inclined to hit them too.
And you wonder why so many people see the GOP as nothing more than a massive joke - not hard when people like you are involved!I do try. I am a young republican and I do try and fight gay marriage where I can.
No you're ignorant because you were born that way. But don't worry, we know it's not something you can choose, it's just how you were born, so we won't take any of your rights away from you because of it, just like we are afforded all our rights even though we are gay...Oh, wait a minute...Believe what you want, i'm neither. I'm not ignorant just because I have different views from you though. -

It's simple logic. Gay couples only interact with people of the same sex. You don't interact enough with women which can lead to a gender divide.2. That's an unsubstantiated claim. Unless you have a source to back that up?
No. Gay marriage would lead to more openly gay people and therefore more gay relationships.3. Again that is also false. In fact reality and studies show that it is a false assertion. And basic logic would lead one to believe the exact opposite.
Gay people are in all honesty the only people who can rape other men. I don't believe that a straight person would want to sexually assault someone of the same sex. If I wanted to exert physical domination beating them up is enough.5. Another unsubstantiated claim. How can you claim that? We already discussed your opinion of rape that also doesn't make any sense.
I'd be helping the child so I would not have a kid taken away.The state does. You are willingly harming you child which is grounds to take them away from you and press charges against you.

But it helps them. This I do know. It makes you physically sick to think about the action. It works. It is still used in certain applications, just not sexuality - because people like you stopped it. probably because it was working.It isn't legal anymore because it doesn't work and just causes harm to the individual involved.

if you dislike gay people so much (and you do, before you try and deny it) why do you keep spending all your time posting about them? for example i really do not like stamp collecting, therefore i do not POST about stamp collecting... then again i am not arrogant enough to think my dislike of stamp collecting should mean other people should not collect stamps.Last edited by Bellissima; 23-03-2012 at 23:30. -

Yeah, see how great that argument is?
And... That doesn't mean you're right.(Original post by DYKWIA)
but there are many people with my views (something like 50% of the nation).
You CLEARLY have never met a gay person or been friends with one in your life. That's SO blatantly false. The gay stereotype is that the ONLY interact with women. Gay people have friends all genders. What an ignorant thing to say(Original post by DYKWIA)
It's simple logic. Gay couples only interact with people of the same sex. You don't interact enough with women which can lead to a gender divide.
None of that logically follows or is necessitated. It MIGHT lead to more openly gay people, but that in no way means there will be MORE gay relationships.(Original post by DYKWIA)
No. Gay marriage would lead to more openly gay people and therefore more gay relationships.
Again, you still know nothing about psychology, so stop pretending you do.(Original post by DYKWIA)
Gay people are in all honesty the only people who can rape other men. I don't believe that a straight person would want to sexually assault someone of the same sex. If I wanted to exert physical domination beating them up is enough.
Harming a child via severe psychological trauma and stress doesn't help them, I have no idea what planet you've been living on.(Original post by DYKWIA)
I'd be helping the child so I would not have a kid taken away.
Only, it doesn't - as research very clearly shows.(Original post by DYKWIA)

Stop pretending to know psychology. That DOESN'T work. That's doesn't 'fix' anything or make anything 'better' - it just conditions the person to feel physically sick whenever they think about their sexual orientation. CLEARLY a good thing. Stop pretending to know psychology, you VERY CLEARLY know absolutely nothing about it.(Original post by DYKWIA)
But it helps them. This I do know. It makes you physically sick to think about the action. It works. It is still used in certain applications, just not sexuality - because people like you stopped it. probably because it was working.

Re: Should Children learn about sexual orientations in schools
Yes, mandatory integration schemes are needed in UK schools urgently aswell to tackle the lack of integration and growing resentment between communities, usually as a result of mass immigration. Anything that leads towards an open liberal and free society for all is welcomed.

I have no gay friends. I have one ex-gay friend, although I think you might be right - he may be closeted in which case I won't be friends with him much longer. (but not because he's gay before you get all crazy)(Original post by NYU2012)
You CLEARLY have never met a gay person or been friends with one in your life. That's SO blatantly false. The gay stereotype is that the ONLY interact with women. Gay people have friends all genders. What an ignorant thing to say
more gay people will mean you have more choices of partner to find and you are more likely to find a sexual partner.None of that logically follows or is necessitated. It MIGHT lead to more openly gay people, but that in no way means there will be MORE gay relationships.
It does work. It forces people to physically hate a certain action and it means they don't act on it. I know.Only, it doesn't - as research very clearly shows.

Not really - maybe I don't know much history, psychology, geography etc. but i'm not ignorant mathematically or technologically.You're just completely ignorant in general. -
Re: Should Children learn about sexual orientations in schoolsYou may or may not actually have that right. Besides I doubt you would ask a heterosexual couple to stop. It would be nice if you were more decent and just didn't ask in the first place and not be so hypocritical.(Original post by DYKWIA)
But I have every right to tell them to stop. Whether they listen or not is another matter. It would be nice if gay people were more decent.
That still doesn't matter. Because it's not legally up to popular vote. What part of that aren't you understanding?but there are many people with my views (something like 50% of the nation).
Ok I know you don't understand logic but really?? By this same logic Heterosexual couples ONLY interact with people of the opposite sex. Is that true? No. Neither is saying the homosexuals only interact with their own sex. In fact the stereotype seems to be that homosexuals generally have more friends of the opposite gender.It's simple logic. Gay couples only interact with people of the same sex. You don't interact enough with women which can lead to a gender divide.
Right and long-term committed relationships LOWER the chances of people contracting HIV. Way to follow the argument.No. Gay marriage would lead to more openly gay people and therefore more gay relationships.
That might be the case for YOU but that is not the case for all people. You clearly don't know anything about the subject. Are you really so naive to claim that only a man can rape another man? A woman can wear a strap on. And there are women who are stronger than men. Like I said. Unsubstantiated claim. Completely illogical and contracted by science again. Like every other claim you make.Gay people are in all honesty the only people who can rape other men. I don't believe that a straight person would want to sexually assault someone of the same sex. If I wanted to exert physical domination beating them up is enough.
"Helping." Remind me how harming a child in any case is helping them? Never? That's what I thought too. So yea. Are you harming them? Yes. By all psychological standards and probably physical ones (you want to electrocute/drug them, which constitutes as physical harm). So yea...your child = gone.I'd be helping the child so I would not have a kid taken away.
You think there is no problem in A Clockwork Orange? Really? You do realize that by all standards that world is a dystopia right?There's no problem with that. It is used in other cases to treat certain conditions. I know. It does work.
Well anyway, what is ECT used to treat? No mental disorders. Because its not a therapy. Its a conditioning technique. And again all science shows that it doesn't work. It doesn't change the sexual orientation. All it does is suppress urges to act on them. I'm assuming you are using yourself as 'proof' it does work? Well in your case nothing was changed either. All your therapy did was suppress your desires because you fear punishment/pain for having them (you have learned that is the consequence).
It doesn't matter. It doesn't change that you have no right to stop him. And no right to use hateful speech because he didn't stop like you asked (which he didn't have to).He did it because he knew I didn't like it.
[QUOTE]I'm not the only republican with my views and actually the vast majority of the presidential candidates all agree that gay marriage is wrong.[QUOTE]
True. And none of them can back up their views either. Santorum uses his religion. That's unconstitutional. He is not allowed to make laws "respecting any religion" that includes his own. That means that is an invalid basis for the law. Romney will flip on this issue because he'll become unpopular otherwise so his opinion is irrelevant. Gingrich is a moron and like you has no idea what to say on the topic. And then there's Paul who will only say that it is up to the states. Which is still wrong because the federal government recognizes marriage which makes it a federal institution. So glad you are following the morons who want to lead our country and social values against what our constitution says.
Your just a hypocrite. Thats old news.I know lesbians aren't there for my entertainment, but good looking ones don't gross me out in the same way. I in no way am suggesting that lesbians should be treated differently though.
So because is scares and grosses you out it automatically harms everyone? That's what you are claiming?? And you claim not be pompous and have delusions of self-importance.It scares me and grosses me out.
What reasons have you provided? I haven't seen any.As I said above. gay marriage is wrong and I have provided reasons. My sense of humor is fine, thanks.
That doesn't change anything. And I didn't realize making someone physically sick was helping them.But it helps them. This I do know. It makes you physically sick to think about the action. It works. It is still used in certain applications, just not sexuality - because people like you stopped it. probably because it was working.
You really have a messed up view of help if thats what you believe.
The damages that you still haven't made clear. And that you are so sure of because...you said so? That seems to be the only reasons you can give...Everyone is born ignorant. i am not ignorant though. i am well aware of the damages of homosexuality. I also don't think I'm particularly mathematically ignorant.
