A plea to the "intelligent" half of America RE: Homosexuality - General

[QUOTE=NickFury666;19515779]They should care because so long as one group of society is inequal, [I]nobody [/I]is equal.[/QUOTE] Doesn't bother me any.

[QUOTE=Dr_MadMan;19515588]I sense a contradiction.[/QUOTE] Rights of an individual only extend so far. A person's right to free speech cannot be invalidated unless that person, in the exercising of said right, is infringing upon the rights of another person. Hate propaganda causes hate crime, and also in and of itself infringes on the homosexual's unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

[QUOTE=Dr_MadMan;19515588]I sense a contradiction.[/QUOTE] Slander and libel are already illegal. So publishing content with the intent to reduce the reputation of a group should be illegal, by our current standards.

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19515748]I can believe or think anything I wish to. The same way people can choose what sexuality they are.[/QUOTE] What kind of primitive ass backward thing are you?

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19515748]I can believe or think anything I wish to. The same way people can choose what sexuality they are.[/QUOTE] So when did you choose to be heterosexual?

[QUOTE=Kybalt;19515583]Ughhhhhhgggghh stop talking about things you don't know about. Laws are observations of reality. Theories never become laws. Laws are what happens, theories are why it happens. Do not mix. The theory of gravity explains how gravity works, the law of gravity states how things gravitate and when they will gravitate together and the acceleration and everything. Laws are an observation not an explanation.[/QUOTE] So it incorrect, it was a good try, thanks for the info.

[QUOTE=NickFury666;19515968]So when did you choose to be heterosexual?[/QUOTE] Very good point, noted.

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19515748]I can believe or think anything I wish to. The same way people can choose what sexuality they are.[/QUOTE] You don't choose your sexuality. We didn't, you didn't NOBODY DOES.

Homosexuality doesn't bother me, but when guy's try and come onto me that's a whole other ballpark

[QUOTE=Killuah;19515729]Also psychologically. Sex with somone you love is....[/QUOTE]Here's how I see it, though. I love people in general as long as I think they deserve to be loved, but I couldn't imagine sharing my body with anyone sexually. I don't want to be 'claimed', like a trophy. It might seem weird, but that's just the way I am. I probably would do so if feelings like jealousy and envy didn't exist, and people wouldn't label other people (mostly females) who are sexually open as sluts, but a lot of people have the idea that if you have sex with someone, then you two are a couple - and people tend to feel betrayed when their significant other goes on to sleep with someone else, which I don't understand and don't want to be a part of. In short, I love people, but am not in love with people.

[QUOTE=NickFury666;19515897] Congratulations on being heartless.[/QUOTE] Hey man, it beats getting all worked up about it. People are people and judging others for their differences is what people do. It'll never change.

[QUOTE=omfgnex;19516011]Homosexuality doesn't bother me, but when guy's try and come onto me that's a whole other ballpark[/QUOTE] That is simply rude.

[QUOTE=omfgnex;19516011]Homosexuality doesn't bother me, but when guy's try and come onto me that's a whole other ballpark[/QUOTE] Are you that insecure?

[QUOTE=Kyle902;19515998]You don't choose your sexuality. We didn't, you didn't NOBODY DOES.[/QUOTE] You're only 15, you should experience life more before you can announce you are bisexual.

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;19516018]Hey man, it beats getting all worked up about it. People are people and judging others for their differences is what people do.

Denial of rights to a group of society for something that is entirely harmless and, in fact, beneficial in some ways, is one of those things.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;19516029]Are you that insecure?[/QUOTE] yup

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19516033]You're only 15, you should experience life more before you can announce you are bisexual.[/QUOTE] Studies show that most people realize their sexual orientation at ages 9-12.

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19516033]You're only 15, you should experience life more before you can announce you are bisexual.[/QUOTE] That is a [I]discovery[/I] not a [I]choice[/I]. There is a key difference.

[QUOTE=evilking1;19515724]You didn't describe religion you described philosophy. Well philosophers used some sense. And there are no "laws" in science, it's just commonly accepted rules that have worked always for now.[/QUOTE] I just described philosophy, I used the definition of laws incorrectly, yay for me. >.>

[QUOTE=omfgnex;19516011]Homosexuality doesn't bother me, but when guy's try and come onto me that's a whole other ballpark[/QUOTE]Sorry, but being hit on in general is expected if you go into society and you're considered attractive. To have a problem with someone who shares your gender who is attempting to court you would mean you have a problem with homosexuals. It's the same 'ballpark'. I'd advise you to just politely decline if you are approached in such a manner and you aren't interested. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't make a scene if a female approaches to flirt with you and you aren't attracted to them, right?

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;19515748] The same way people can choose what sexuality they are.[/QUOTE] Once again. Let me put it in perspective for you. If you can, right at this moment, imagine yourself taking it in the ass from another guy and TOTALLY enjoying it, while at the same time being thoroughly disgusted with the idea of screwing a girl, congratulations. You're the first person in history who could choose their sexuality.

I don't have a problem with homosexuals, they can do whatever they like with each other. Fair enough if someone doesn't know I'm straight and they ask to buy me a drink or something, it's just when they know full well I'm straight and still insist on trying it on that I find it annoying.

However, I've never actually seen a straight guy who has been hit on by a gay guy.

My idea is that humans are born bisexual/asexual, and that experiencing society will end up shaping their sexuality in the long run as they grow older.
