they're separate but equal??
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;38474695]we have that already, they're called civil partnerships
(which incidentally, heterosexual couples can't get. it's one of the few cases where the term "heterophobia" is valid)[/QUOTE]
civil partnerships ain't limited to homosexual partnerships
I stand corrected actually, I was thinking of civil marriages
but it's still equal since they're the same thing practically
I'm curious to know what this comment was, word for word.

well at least you proved him wrong... you could have simply said "except when people say dumb ass hateful things" and had the same point you know.

I would rant about this but I would appear extremely aggro so I'll just say
no

Yeah, freedom of speech [sub]except for when I don't like it.[/sub]

It's more of a "Except when it's completely offensive"
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;38475374]Yeah, freedom of speech [sub]except for when I don't like it.[/sub][/QUOTE]
you mean except when you're spouting complete bullshit?
should a man go around and say "Niggers aren't really people; their purpose in life should be to serve white people." or "fags are gay and should burn in hell, they are all evil satanic spawns and will corrupt mankind" and no one can do anything about it?
are you OK with the idea of someone walking around dressed up like a Nazi SS with one arm sternly up speaking in german? Freedom of expression after all. It's what the founding fathers wanted I'm sure.
What about a bully calling a kid a fag repeatedly? Freedom of speech.
I'm sorry but what you find to be 'dumb ass hateful things' is completely subjective
And I'm sure some people don't mind that, and I'm fine with that. Sure I don't like it, but if they don't cause any physical effect then so be it.

So walking around yelling out the N-word in a nazi SS uniform isn't hateful according to you? and you are ok with kids being verbally abused? are you ok with being verbally abused?
and the issue is that a [B]heaping[/B] and [I]massive[/I] majority of people are extremely not ok with it at all.

I'm making a point of making the question as inflammatory as letting anyone just spout hateful/ignorant remarks.
are you ok with someone doing that? or bullies?

Ignorance is a choice, sure. I look down on those that do spout 'hateful/ignorant remarks' but I am not going to take action on them
And bullies are a whole different sector, at least for me. Physical abuse is where it gets out of hand, and psychological bullying should be resolved as quickly as possible.

Let me get this straight, I don't want to look like a hypocrite.
I don't think any form of speech should ever be illegal, but I [I]do[/I] think some sort of resolve should be attempted.
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38474269]I didn't realize that was the case in socialist England. Here in Murika, you can get fired for any reason, or no reason at all. And that's the way we like it; keeps people on their toes. God Bless Murika :eagle:[/QUOTE]
Actually it depends on your type of contract. There are contracts which allow you to fire people for essentially no reason at all, but those kinds of contracts are generally only for lower wage positions.
More normal jobs generally require the employer to at least generally pay a severance package.
On top of that, generally even in the US only a number of jobs can essentially lead to getting fired or demoted for things done outside of the job - a good example of this are judges for instance.
freedom of speech does not mean freedom from response
[QUOTE=Scrappa;38473445]Gay myself and believe the right decision was made. Regardless of whether people agree with what he said or if it is offensive we do after all live in Britain, a country of free speech and he should be allowed to say what he wants no matter how ridiculous it is. Losing your job for having an opinion is an absolute disgrace.
On the idea of gay marriage itself I believe that it should be the choice of each individual church, if the catholic church think gay marriage is not right that's fine even though I disagree and they shouldn't be forced to marry a gay couple, however a Quaker church should be allowed to marry a gay couple because they believe that is right. If this was the law everybody would be happy. The couple are happily married in a church and the catholic church aren't forced to do something they don't want to.
Also a gay couple getting married at a registry office should blatantly be allowed.[/QUOTE]
You sir, is why im not entirely homophobic..
(As in i have no problem with people being into something but when they start harassing me sexually i start attacking their sexuality. Some dumbshit grinded against me once in school so i punched him, pushed him away and called him a fucking faggot. Was sent home for being homophobic.)

I completely disagree with sexual harassment, but you have some anger issues. You're all fine with gays but if they do something minor you suddenly snap and push them and call them a "Fucking faggot"... what? is it ok if a women grinds against you?
You couldn't have just said "stop" even if it's slightly in an aggro tone?
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;38476083]freedom of speech does not mean freedom from response[/QUOTE]
Maybe not on the site you posted it on, but as far as legal reaction/keeping your job, yes it does (assuming that you didn't say those things while ON the job).
[QUOTE=J!NX;38477151]meanwhile I ask myself... are some people just too stupid to live?[/QUOTE]
Meanwhile i ask cant everybody just be friends and stop slapping their dicks into each others faces?
Its like you follow me everywhere around to rate me dumb and call me a terrible poster.
If you got some random assholes genitials all over your fucking jeans because he cant control his sick attraction to you wouldnt you also have some fucking avasions against their kind? If your mother raised you as a fundie dipshit?
One of my best friends is a bisexual, shes the best fucking singer i have ever known. One of my friends from the states is a closet homosexual. Im not too fucking stupid to live, i play classical music on my guitar and get A+'s in English, Sociology, Biology and Chemistry. Im a jazz bassist, metal guitarist and drummer and i have written and is currently writing songs for bands in the french underground.
But if you have been harassed and bullied by homosexuals, had everything against you because of moral flag waving dickheads that thinks you are the bully and you had been raised to hate them, something clicks inside of you. Im working on it ok? What i was trying to say was that this awesome poster helped me a bit in accepting them and forgetting those assholes or my moms rambling. You might not be a therapist but i hope that you understand anyway.

I told him to stop multiple times. He wouldnt stop and he followed me around. No teachers were present at the time and they would do jackshit anyways because the place was horrible.

That would make sense if your parents raised you to hate carrots. And if they repeatingly hit you throughout most of the time you were in school
Also nice dick reference there.

[B]this is thet second time I've seen you ever, and honestly that post was just that terrible. Honestly, you're also an EXTREMELY agreessive poster, you kept calling people "Fucking retard hippies" for having a different view than you[/B]

[B]Fair enough then, honestly though it's easy to view you as someone with anger issues because of how overly aggressive it seems and your other posts were the same. That being said, one person in a group being shitty does not justify hating all homosexuals, that's how you made it sound.[/B]
[editline]16th November 2012[/editline]

[B]Just no saying "Fucking faggot"
I describe myself as radically progay and would just make sure he knows he's the reason thing gay people don't know how to control themselves
I mean, why are you homophobic at all if it was so isolated?[/B][/QUOTE]

Well you have come to your senses rather quickly, haven't you?
I was raised by extremely homophobic religious parents, and I have never considered myself the same.
My parents are no longer like that, though. I don't know if I can say the same for you
[QUOTE=J!NX;38477517]What does classical music have to do with intelligence[/QUOTE]
Try getting a person with downs to play even a simple bach composition. I tried, it was hopeless but the guy thought it was really awesome to use the guitar as a stomp instrument instead so we did that and had a awesome day anyway.

Those are irrelevant to this conversatoin, stop trying to wave your e-dick around.
Also, you did not phrase it as such, the way you phrased your story was "someone grinded on me once so i beat their face in" not "some guy was following me around constantly grinding on me after i told him to stop several times". You need to put some fucking context into your stories.
Not to mention i'm actually calling bullshit on "he wouldn't stop" solely because of how incredibly defensive and irritated you got from J!NX. Then you pull out the "i have gay friends" card that every homophobe seems to have. You're just an angry defensive individual, and the way you write is literally purporting that.
One more thing, "moral flag waving dickheads" wouldn't get angry at you for punching a kid who wouldn't leave you alone on the grounds that he was gay. At that point sexuality has nothing to do with the situation, someone apparently was constantly invading your personal space despite you apparently asking them to stop.

Technically, yes, at least in WA.
Most people don't bother with it though, something about churches being traditional or what not

Facepunch: Where free speech is okay unless it's against black people.
Marriage in a church mean nothing. You need to get a marriage license. Otherwise the wedding is just a nice ceremony.
I don't see the necessity of marrying in a church to begin with.
I'm going to get married in the giant castle at Disney World's Magic Kingdom and wear a crown for the rest of the day. Sounds better than looking at a bloody naked guy hanging on a wooden cross and wearing a crown of thorns as he judges your choices.
