[QUOTE=Someoneuduno;27617649]Sort of hilarious too though.[/QUOTE] It's funny because I'm 100% convinced he's posting innocently.
[quote]Languages – using gay characters in role play scenarios, and teaching "LGBT vocabulary". [/quote] Ah. AhahAHA... HAHAHAHAH. The images showing up in my heads. They're hilarious! :v: [editline]24th January 2011[/editline] Make it stopppfffahahahAHAHAHA :suicide:
My math teacher is homosexual, like really obviously homosexual. Does that count?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27615084]Wouldn't it actually be 42! - 2[/QUOTE] No it's 42C40 which is 42!/(40!*2!) which is 861. Permutations would be 42!/2!
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;27617767]No it's 42C40 which is 42!/(40!*2!) which is 861. Permutations would be 42!/2![/QUOTE] Ah Let's just make the thread about this, it's much nicer.
I think people are taking this out of context. It's doesn't seem to me that they are going to make it obvious what they are doing, it just seems to be something that makes the teachers more aware so that they can include and not be afraid of adding homosexual examples to the curriculum. I know most teachers in America would probably be too scared to add any kind of diversity to their examples/teaching because of parents, but this seems to be a way protects the teachers which will allow them to not worry.
Honestly I wish words such as "ally" were used more commonly, I went to a GSA meeting, the first time I was so confused from all the terms, and it took my maybe a half hour of usage for me to understand it all. It improves vocabulary and makes communication with others about LGBT topics easier and more comfortable rather than saying "Oh he's kind of into... sleeping with guys who like to dress up as girls but didn't get an operation yet..." they just say that he's into drags. It'd would also be nice for people to understand gender identities, the first time I heard of it I was thrown off, but now I actually understand when people tell me they identify as 'x'.
[QUOTE=|FlapJack|;27617259]That's why I said they shouldn't put straight people in either. People should discover their own sexuality.[/QUOTE] Some fucking story problems in math are not going to influence a child's sexuality.
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;27618762]Some fucking story problems in math are not going to influence a child's sexuality.[/QUOTE] Exactly. The entire dominant straight culture didn't influence me to be gay.
If I was a leader of a Nation I would legalize gay marriage, allow them to have kids and such but I would ban all celebrations of it and not have the government spend a single penny on that kind of rubbish because you don't need a big parade to tell the world that gay people exist. That kind of money is better used for other things.

[QUOTE=macacan;27617392]Nope, they were just kids with gender-ambiguous names.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much what I remember from school. There were also those cheesy/pun worksheets you got with horribly over used jokes.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;27619991]So you'd restrict free speech Heil[/QUOTE] Restricting free speech can be useful at times to stop people revolting and refusing to obey the government and reducing efficiency. You also do not need to compare me to Hitler in order to win the argument, many nations have limited free speech.
I would not advertise being gay everywhere. Don't hate me but I think advertising gay people is wrong and disgusting.
Nothing against LGBT-people but this is a tad silly. School is supposed to be about learning, not scoring approval points from a part of the community.

[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;27620588] But is basically advertising your straight okay in your eyes because it's not "disgusting"?[/QUOTE] People just don't see the extent that straight indoctrination has on the world. It's pretty evident in this thread. It's not pandering it's simply including a group of people that the government has flat-out ignored for a its entire existence. It's like if white people were the only ones shown in textbooks and educational videos (which was the case for a very long time).
No I just don't think kids need to be told about gays at such a young age.
[QUOTE=iusehax;27620892]No I just don't think kids need to be told about gays at such a young age.[/QUOTE] Why not?
they might see it as okay [editline]23rd January 2011[/editline] !!!
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;27620588]More parallels with 1984 is exactly what we need![/QUOTE] Such a country is a good one because if you remove the people who go on about something unfavourable to the government it decreases the number of people who do not like the government and therefore they will be more willing to support and work for it. A disadvantage would be loss of stuff like culture, art, etc but that stuff doesn't really matter when we should be focusing on using military force and blackmail to take over the entire world and then start on a path of colonizing the universe and wiping out any alien species that are against us in order to become a mighty force.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;27621437]I shitpost as often but my opinions aren't as insane[/QUOTE] Depends on your definition of insane. I personally think that as the master species we should colonize the universe and conquer inferior alien species. (If they even exist)
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27621607]Depends on your definition of insane. I personally think that as the master species we should colonize the universe and conquer inferior alien species. (If they even exist)[/QUOTE] If we find aliens and they're hostile I definitely think we should fight to the death instead of just being subservient to them but suppressing freedom of speech right now won't make us any stronger as a species. If anything, it demoralizes us and pits us against each other.
When the time comes, I hope we choose not to save the Council.
