Sounds like Muslims.
Going a bit off topic, but Nebor, since you posted, let's but your prejudice in perspective:

You are among the most extremist and bigoted members in this forum. An advocate of genocide against Arabs/Muslims, and unlike any Muslim members here, you have openly declared violent warfare against "Muslim sympathizers" and calling for the death of myself and my family [2].

Extremism to the extreme. Nebor, the record stands that you are among the most bigoted and violent of members at this forum, and I remain shocked of the tolerance to permit your account to remain active.

The topical point being, those who promote the diminished standing and vilification of a group, are societal enablers from not only social stigmatization and legal violations of civil rights, but through to that of the most extreme and violent crimes.

Due to societal condemnation, homosexuals have indeed faced death in our societies and continue to do so in others.

Lets keep going down that road and look at what appears to be your support of Muslims, who take a pretty dim view of homosexuality. How does that work? Why do Muslims get a pass, and someone like me, who's never made an anti gay comment on this board, get condemned as a bigot?

I'm trying to figure out what the common ground is. What changes a group from oppressed to oppressor in your mind, and what changes someone from bigot to misunderstood?

I'm not saying they are subhuman. I'm not saying to remove any of their rights, or treat them as lesser beings. I don't wish them harm. I'm simply saying what they're doing is wrong. Same as I also firmly believe that straight sex between two people who aren't married is also morally wrong. This again doesn't mean I devalue them as people.

You're taking everything and turning it on its head. You're taking something immoral and calling it moral, then calling me immoral for standing for morality. You're twisting everything.

Look at history and look at what happens to society when morality decays. Society gradually falls apart also. Sorry, but trying to redefine morality as immoral doesn't help your case.

Have a good day.
I agree with the bolded, but there is morality and then there is morality. I absolutely believe that someone can be 100% homosexual and in other respects be a completely moral person, in a way that simply isn't possible for, say, a thief or a murderer. That's because the immorality of homosexuality was established not because of harm to other individuals, but because of harm to society. That harm no longer exists - no one can really argue the world needs more breeders or that homosexuality in and of itself harms a society with modern hygiene and medicine. (Coupled with promiscuity it's a different story of course, but that's true of heterosexuality as well. Look at AIDS in Africa and Asia and you'll see a predominantly heterosexual disease spread to epidemic proportion through heterosexual promiscuity.) Should I refrain from mixing grains or fibers? Should I not eat pork?

But in any case, I do not expect everyone to accept homosexuality. Nor do I really care. What one believes is immoral in the eyes of G-d should be between that individual and the deity. I DO care about government discrimination though; that should be abolished.

Hah, he'll never answer this. That's why he dodged the way he did.

Your entering of this thread provided a very real world example of tolerance for open prejudice and bigotry as an enabler to extremist vilification, violence, and death threats.

Your personal and violent meme of bigotry against Muslims is a well known and standing record at AnandTech. You trolled in an attempt to bring Muslims into discussion and only criticism against that religion. Your prejudice against Muslims is so strong, that you are so intellectually dishonest to present a biased vision of the world as though Muslims alone, have sects with a monopoly of bigotry against gays. Your supremacist bigotry neglects recognition of bigotry and violence against gays in many other current societies in the name of Christianity, Buddhism, ect...

So out of curiosity to you keep a spreadsheet of things people have said you classify as bigotry?
Well you are free , though grossly in error, to challenge what bigotry and hate speech is not when advocation to exterminate those of a specific religion and personal death threats against myself and family are presented.

nehalem256, we see that you wish to defend that violent and bigoted extremism.

I have provided solid examples of bigotry. A culture that tolerates bigotry is a society that often enables extremism.

It's quite depressing that you express shock for one not forgetting and tolerating a specific and recorded death threat against one's own family.

No, no spreadsheet is required to recall such a despicable act.

Last I checked this thread is about about how a teenage Egyptian 3000 years ago was lol'ing while painting "a bunch of dudes with dongs" reminiscent of what I saw in highschool.

So you guys misinterpret this as some kind of "factual evidence of 3,000 year ago there giant dong gay orgy parties" which is probably the longest delay ever between trolling and success.

AND THEN you guys misinterpret that and are having some kind of disadvantaged social class victims of bigotry Olympics.

Obviously none of you can read. This piece and the OP are not value judgements, merely evidence these things existed for the dipshits who think they are modern creations.

I couldn't give a rats ass if any of you approve or disapprove of anything... nothing in or about my life hinges upon your approval.

Beastiality, pedophilia, rape and mutilation also existed 1000 BCE, should those be cool too? Just sayin.
If you have a good enough lobby, and were repressed, then yes, those are cool as well.
Typical in seeing you immoral heathens come out and to equate the above to sex and love between consenting adults.

That underlined and striking point nullifies any comparison to any of the above, eh? Don't think too hard... :whiste:

The P&N rarely fails to disappoint in presenting bigotry and intellectual dishonesty for argumentative sake.

Immoral heathen? Really? That's what you're going with?
Regardless, you're wrong on both counts. I don't care who you put your dick in, as long as the other person was alright with it, and of legal age. My point was about the political aspects of sexuality, and was no more stupid than using a cave drawing to try and prove a point that no one on earth cares about.

Get over the righteous indignation, it's been done to death.
