Him cutting taxes for the rich is liberal bullshit. The taxe break percentage is higher for the poor then the rich. Rich get more money because they pay more taxes. My parents are both hard workers and are not wealthy and have benifited from his tax cuts. Also I don't want to kill gays I just don't want them to be considered normal.

By forcing them to be straight? Is that your definition of "normal"?

You can't force gay people into "straightness". It's not a "disease", something you can catch or cure. Call it a "quirk", a "defect" - whatever - scientists believe it has more to do with physical changes in the brain (formed as soon as during the child's development in the womb) than with actual psychical impact in adult life. I don't consider them "normal" just as I can't call my eyes "normal", because I have problems reckognizing colors... I rely on numerical values in software like Photoshop, cursing my very own eyes. But that doesn't mean I'm going to pick them out off my head. Similar to the case of people who can't repeat the tune - I can - their hearing isn't "normal", but that doesn't mean they should be shot at sight, right? But I don't expect them to play in the orchestra... All those things are some sort of disability, but we should learn how to co-exist with disabled people, don't we?

There were some "experiments", some backed by certain Bible-bashers, that were to cure gayness... homosexual men were later marrying women to prove they're "OK" now... but actually, this didn't suppress their needs. During their "therapy" some were watching gay porn flicks and repeating a mantra "this is bad, I'm not going to do this anymore" LOL! Sounds like an effecive method of changing your orientation, eh?

Another thing that the research proved is that the percentage of gay people in liberal or conservative societies is pretty much the same (circa 7% ?). The visible difference depends on the fact that in liberal societies they are not afraid to admit to their gay nature, while in conservative ones they hide their needs, pretending to be "normal". I guess it's better for a man to say "I'm gay" and live his gay ways rather than pretend to be hetero and never give his wife the real manly love she deserves.

I'm not going to fight for gay rights or shout out my support on a street demonstration, but I will always oppose homophobia, because it's a form of hatred. Remeber my "horse" joke in other thread?
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Well, it works for me... OK, nevermind, here is the joke:

A man visits sex therapist with his problem:
- Doc, I've got this little thing... err.. how to say that... well, I feel sexually atracted to my horse. I've got a small ranch, ya'know, and that's how it started...
- Mhmmmm... very well, I need some details about your... err.. relationship. Is that a stallion or a mare?
- WHAT? OF COURSE IT'S A MARE! DO I LOOK LIKE A GAY TO YOU???

And as I recall, my comment was something to the effect of, how do you break to this guy that being gay is the least of his concerns?

And I recall saying that it was wrong on SO MANY levels...

yes it was bossk.

jimbo... i know some gay people, i dont seek them out, but i dont mind them either.

my best friend's sister got married to her girlfriend last summer, and they are both extremely normal and funny.

that narrow-mindness is wrong. you need to read some more jimbo. im sorry, but you are not mature enough to be talking about these things. if you came to me with hard evidence that they arent normal, that they are ill, then we could discuss, but such as it is right now, you cannot talk about it.

Jimbo, are your parents proud of your level of intolerance? Do they realize they're raising a flaming bigot?

I'm hoping it's not the case. Although it usually is.

You fucking kidding they hate gays worse then I do. So do all my friends and family and basically everyone who I have any kind of friendly relationship with hates gays. Personally it is offensive to me to say gays are normal.

ok jimbo... this is what you are:

late teens, early twenties. white, brown hair, no real hairdo. you drive a black or red pickup truck with a confederacy flag sticking out from the back, your best friend's name is benny-joe and you have a dog called King or maybe even Ceasar. at night you drive that same pickup but with a white pointy hood over your head and you answer to the Grand Wizard.

sound about right?

I have nothing against people of other races or religion. People can't help what what race they were born into. Nobody knows what religion is right. I judge people by there behavior. Homosexual behavior is wrong. If we start thinking homos are normal soon we will be accepting child melesters. It has to end here.

If people can't help it about the race they are born, can they do anything about their own sexuality?

Jimbo, the white trash comunity kid, with a couple of KKK posters and a rifle in his room, a cable TV turned on FOXNews on the living room (no books can be seen in the house, books are for gay people and liberals), and a drunken father beating a mother in the kitchen, to the sound of country music. Yee-ha, good ol' stupid conservative america, where Nazis, South African apartheid and stupidity meets. Thank God that's only 10% of america's population.

jimbo, there is nothing deviant about homosexual behaviour. i dont understand where you get that from...

besides, you cant use the argument of child molestors, because those children are molested against their will; homosexuals do it of their own free will...

Homosexuality is abominable.

It is a vile and disgusting perversion, and it is a choice that people make.



I don't hate gay people, mind you. I just hate homosexuality.

It's like saying that you hate speeders. You don't really hate speeders, you just hate it when they speed.
