TENNESSEE: "Don't Say Gay" Education Bill Passes State Senate Committee - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Thy Reaper;29347889]You've taken about as wrong an approach as you can. The last time "the world would be easier if everyone used <browser>" happened, it was Internet Explorer. See where that got us? The solution to differences isn't to eliminate the difference, it's to figure out the best way to work with those differences.[/QUOTE] You are probably the best opponent I have in this thread I must say, you make all the best statements And that is really what I think That is a wonderful argument and I am quite stunned by that, I can't really respond to that

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;29347911]Something that misses the point[/QUOTE] "I want the world to not have gay people" is a discriminatory statement as an opinion, and impossible to validate as a fact-based hypothesis. It doesn't matter that it's a fantasy world, it's the one you decided to suggest to an internet forum.

[QUOTE=Sanius;29347926]A fantasy is a fantasy because it's not true? Holy shit. You've dug yourself into a hole that you can't get out of. "The world would be better if everybody was a heterosexual" is a nicer way of saying "I wish all faggots would die."[/QUOTE] Fuck, everyone degrades everything into Final solution. Do you do Web design? Have you EVER done any? Are you remotely good with computers at all? Then you know that Internet Explorer is shitting up the Web [sp]at the moment[/sp], and the Net would be nicer if everyone were using Firefox. However that doesn't mean a crusade against IE users.

You're basically trying to object to the claims that you're a homophobe with "the world would be much better without homosexuals."

[QUOTE=TKDriver;29347935]Yeah don't say gay because it's offensive [sp]and also retarded[/sp][/QUOTE] bad reading [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Elecbullet;29347990]Fuck, everyone degrades everything into Final solution.

Is that right?

What about old books where they use gay as happy? [editline]22nd April 2011[/editline] Wouldn't IE = old backward Christians?

I said this in a kinda exaggerated nasty way "IE is shitting up the Web". This is a gaming forum and I thought more people would be into Web design. Sorry if I came off as arrogant [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=archangel125;29348085]I agree. IE IS a shitty browser.

[QUOTE=mokkan;29348091]What about old books where they use gay as happy?[/QUOTE] It takes on a different meaning, sort of borderline. This bill wants to abolish the teaching of homosexuality , this word takes a different meaning but uses the same spelling. I would hope they wouldn't ban the books but it is a good question to ask.

This, i agree with, but not suggesting that internet explorer is ruining the internet is a fact.

I'm saying your wording suggest it's a fact.[/QUOTE] Well yeah it is true that IE breaks good Web pages. [url]http://caniuse.com/#cats=CSS[/url] The Web is evolving. HTML and CSS, the main things behind the display of Web pages, have, since the time of their original release, added newer and newer features. IE lags behind in support for these features.[list] [*]CSS3 is a new Web standard, and if you scroll down the page all the "Internet Explorer" columns are much redder than all the others, meaning that they do not support them. If they don't support CSS3, it can break a page. [*]Internet Explorer also has relatively poor [url=http://caniuse.com/#cats=HTML5][u]HTML5 support[/u][/url]. HTML5 is also a new Web standard. [*]Compounding the problem, a notable percentage of Internet Explorer users are using a [b]ten-year-old[/b] version (Internet Explorer 6), which obviously can NOT display newer technical markup. [url=http://www.theie6countdown.com/]Info[/url][/list] That's what I meant. I might have worded it in a bit of an exaggerated, kinda vulgar way but that's what I meant. Since I assumed more people would know about this (falsely, I know) I worded it in a way that people who DID know about it would understand. I don't mean to cause offense in any way if you're not into Web design. I'm just explaining my example.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29348016][b]bad reading[/b] [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] So gays are to society what internet explorer is to the internet thanks Now :frog:[/QUOTE] No I know that this is more of a homophobic thing but that's what I thought of when I read the title so I just said it

sounds kinda iffy

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;29348154]I compared two situations, that does not mean the respective elements of each situation correspond to one another on the scale of awfulness[/QUOTE] Yeah I know I'm just ragging on you for coming up with the whole "society would be better without gays" fantasy because frankly it was extremely offensive I cried a little Not really but you get the point

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29348252]Yeah I know I'm just ragging on you for coming up with the whole "society would be better without gays" fantasy because frankly it was extremely offensive I cried a little Not really but you get the point[/QUOTE] Don't cry, I'll feel bad :smith:

yeah, the asshattery that my politicians pull off is off the wall :/

Immediately before I was explaining an analogy I'd made, that was relevant, a bit long winded but relevant. Do you understand the analogy now?

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;29348696]I was just trying to lighten up the mooooooooood.[/QUOTE] Or in other words, you're trying to make us forget that you've made a completely inane argument that you can't back out of.

Immediately prior I was continuing that argument, and then I posted that. Then I went off to watch Whose Line Is It Anyway Kay, I'll go watch some more Whose Line I guess

who the fuck decided that this makes sense?

[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;29349644]who the fuck decided that this makes sense?[/QUOTE] a closet gay homophobe probably

and this is why people hate America

Oh gee, I don't even know what to say other than express my utter disbelief that this shit can happen in in the 21st century :| They have to pretend homosexuals don't exist until the children get to a certain age, then ? How fucking backwards is that. That's some half-out the closet homophobe using their power to do whatever would make them personally happy rather than something for the betterment of the people they serve. Herpa fucking der. [QUOTE=Elecbullet;29346989]Uh okay glad to hear it [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] I think you're being a bit excessively overdramatic More like, they are of the silly belief that teaching kids about gay people will make everyone gay, and they don't want that to happen. This isn't some horrible nefarious plot. Also if this were a thread about wars and I said "It'd be nice if there were no wars" you wouldn't get onto me. If this were a thread about world hunger and I said "It'd be nice if everyone had food to eat" you wouldn't get onto me. But I made a statement about something that could have been different, however is not different, and everyone immediately gets on my ass for "fantasy versus reality", probably just because you're uncomfortable with my statement in some way[/QUOTE] Un-plug your god damn keyboard

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;29347911]Also I just realized this Let's take a look at my first post in this thread. Looking back, what I did was I proposed a fantasy, and then [b]I immediately said the fantasy was not true[/b] so I don't know why everyone is getting on to me about fantasies[/QUOTE] Let me explain to you why people are pissed the fuck off at you in terms you can understand: "It'd be great if all non-christians were burning for eternity, all blacks were slaves and all women oppressed, because this conforms to my world-views and I find this most pleasant. Oh, and I believe Hitler was doing the right thing, Jews do tend to get in the way of my personal peace, also why isn't there more rape, I don't like women being happy." You basically wished DEATH upon an entire part of humanity. You're a horrible, horrible person, and I truly hope that you never have offspring.

yeah telling a group of people that society would be better if they'd disappear is really terrible I think he knows by now though It's not like the gold member revocation initiative is still running so baiting him into digging a deeper rut isn't even useful

I wanted to reply to OP with "Only in Amerikka", but then I realized I live in a country just as fucked up.
