lol, Howard, have you ever heard of a silly little idea called free will? God doesnt make gay and straight people, God just makes people and lets them choose their path through life.
and glenn1, you're right, he does suck at it.
"Free will" is all fine and dandy, when applied appropriately. It has been documented quite thoroughly how sexual orientation is not so easily defined through studies of hermaphrodites. What Dean said was a matter of opinion, some would say fact, concerning sexual orientation. Given that opinion, he did what his religion has taught him, Tolerance.
im having a little bit of trouble trying to get anything out of your post. it just looks like meaningless words cobbled together to seem vaguely intelligent.
here, let me ask you these: do you have no control over what decisions you're going to make throughout your life? it's not under your control weather or not you're going to ask that hot chick out on a date? it's not under you're control to continue a relationship with that hot chick? it's not under your control weather you ask a guy or girl out? it's not a matter of your will, but a matter of your genes that determines what your choices are going be, thats basically what im getting from your post, and all this nonsense that is released as a scientific study concerning these matters.
Those are all the wrong questions. You should ask if a person has control over who they're sexually attracted to. The answer to that is of course no.
but you do control on how you act on your attractions/thoughts/feelings. if you know it's wrong [morally unacceptable or socially unacceptable or however you wish to determine what is right and what is wrong] then DONT DO IT. We all know that doing drugs are both morally unacceptable and socially unacceptable, and so far the majority of America thinks that homosexuality is morally unacceptable and socially unacceptable. Therefore, dont do drugs and dont drill other dudes in the butt [or muff dive if you're of the female persuasion]
Ah, the good 'ol "well I'm pretty sure the majority thinks this way so it must be right" argument. The majority also thought it was socially acceptable to keep the n!ggers down. The majority in Nazi Germany thought it was socially acceptable to exterminate Jews.
Basing your argument on what's morally acceptable by the majority is as weak as wet newspaper.
Furthermore, what IS your argument? Or are you just bashing Howie and gays for no particular reason as usual?
well, its kind of a different argument when you start trying to tie in oppression of black people and their plight to get treated equally in society with homosexuals and their plight to have their choices deemed acceptable by society. and no, the majority in Nazi Germany didnt really think it was acceptable to exterminate Jews, do some research on the subject. Hitler thought it was fine and dandy, the SS thought it was fine and dandy, but the majority of Nazi Germany were Christian or Catholic and had conflicting views on Jew extermination. They liked that Hitler had brought Germany back to her former glory and that they were going to make the Allies pay for the Versailles treaty, but they didnt like the Jew extermination [it was either shut up and take it or join the Jews in the extermination camps]
if youre going to start comparing homosexuals and their 'plight' to that of black people and that of Jews, then im going to start equating homosexuality to murder and thievery and child molestation. and we all know how that goes, you lefties start balking at that and saying that its ludicrous for me to do such because murder and thievery are destructive while homosexuallity is not. well, if its not ok for me to make such decision based comparisons, then its not ok for you to make wild exaggerations by comparing OPPRESSION and GENOCIDE to intolerance.
and how do you think the US got to where it is today, by throwing out our moral beliefs and acting on every little whim that our hearts desired? oh no my friend, if we go down this path then we are going to open up a whole pandoras box, pretty soon we'll be caving to demands by polygamists [sp?], pedophiles, and necrophiliacs.
oh, and my argument is this, homosexuality is not acceptable [either morally or socially] so therefore it gets no special treatments or acknowledgements.
