"Support Our Troops." We have them on our squad cars.

Why don't they just get a bumper sticker that says "Support Our Troops"?

It's not confusing enough?

I'm discussing stickers on a car, not the general acceptance of alcoholism and homosexuality as a disorder. There is nothing to discuss, I really don't care. People flaunt their drinking all the time but has has nothing to do with their sexual preference, or the stickers they put on their car. I'm discussing the lameness of having gay pride stickers on cars and these people being proud that they are gay. The only parallel you are drawing between homosexuality and alcoholism is that they both have no proven root cause and could be considered psychological disorders. Other than that your post serves no meaning at all in relation to the topic.
I didn't mean to snap so quickly, but I didn't want this thread to turn into a flamefest immediatly.

*sigh* I am terribly sorry that the conversation moved away from the "pureness" that you originally intended. I shall refrain from ever replying to a thread unless every point of mine is of direct relation to the original topic. Perhaps I should run them all by you first for approval? I was replying to another member in the thread about what he posted. It was completely relevant to his message. The topic had strayed a bit away from rainbow stickers and gravitated more towards "gay-pride being accepted." In that regard, everything I've been discussing has been well withing the topic of discussion. I was simply postulating why other things are not as readily cheered for as gay-pride, and providing my reasoning for the question. The discussion proceeded from there.

In the future, may I suggest you refrain from posting potentionally inflamatory topics if you are so deathly afraid of discussion taking place within them. You do not "own" this thread or any other. You are the owner of each of your posts, and nothing more.

It's ok, you're forgiven. Just don't let it happen again. All topics are inflamatory with the little moral panty wastes that frequent this forum.

Alcoholism poses a much greater direct threat to society than homosexuality. On top of that it is generally accepted and has been for quite a long time.

I honestly don't see why it bothers the OP that much. They're simply advertising a simple fact that far too many people can't accept. If gay people were universally accepted, then there most likely wouldn't be a need to paste a rainbow sticker on your car. At least they have the courage to openly express that they are gay to the world.

Tolerance for gay people won't be achieved by pretending they don't exist, after all. The world needs to realize that most of them are just average folks who happen to have a different sexual preference.

It doesn't bother me that much. I was talking about it with my ga friends and figured this would be a better topic of discussion than things like, "look what I bought today" or "lets talk about my diet" or "look at my car" or "look at the girl I saw today".

Tolerance for gay people won't be achieved by advertising your sexual preference with bumper stickers.

no different than that fish thing...as a symbol of christ.

I don't care at all about it. If people are proud and want others to know...good for them...it's their property...you have no choice...deal

Why the hell do "christians" put that fish symbol on their car or a bumper sticker that reads "Christians aren't Perfect, Just Forgiven!" - and then drive selfishly, cutting off other drivers like they OWN the damn road?

Do they think other people are going to want to care anything about "Christian".

:roll:

What? I was saying that a straight-forward bumper stick isn't confusing enough.

And the yellow ribbons do say "Support Our Troops" on them.

You're putting words in my mouth. I'm NOT making a broad generalization about alcoholics, rather I'm pointing out that an alcoholic can be a productive member of society OR he can be a threat to society. I'm not lumping them all into one category or the other.

Right. So you are saying there *are* parallels between alcoholism and homosexuality? They both can have members who are productive OR detrimental to society. Not all alcoholics are drunken, killing machines, just like all gays are not choirboy-raping Catholic priests. So we seem to be agreed up to this point.

The fact remains that alcoholism IS a problem, regardless of how well you've got your act together.

Right, and I'm pointing out that what you call *fact* is not so, but rather an opinion. You may consider alcoholism a problem, but that doesn't make it so. If someone wanted to drink themselves silly in the privacy of their own home, why is that any concern of yours? It's not. Just as it's not any of our concern if people want to engage in same-sex relations in the same setting. You can argue that alcoholism *can* lead to drunk-driving, liver problems, etc. But I can argue that homosexuality *can* lead to child molestation, STDs, etc. See? We seem to be agreeing on lots of points, but you still seem to be hung up on assuming I am wrong and you are right. You'll never get anywhere (debate-wise) with such a closed-minded attitude.

I'm willing to hear you out and I agree with you on some points, but you're still not convincing me that homosexuality is "bad" or that alcoholism is "good". The arguments you're presenting don't make a good case as far as I'm concerned. The fact that I don't agree with you does not make me close-minded. I'm taking the time to consider what you're saying, but it doesn't add up.

It may not be any of my concern if someone wants to be an alcoholic, but there's still potential consequences that don't make it a good choice. Liver damage, brain damage, and a host of other ailments, to say nothing of the potential consequences for your family and the people that care about you. Not to mention, the time and money spent by health care professionals on treating your illness that could have been avoided altogether by drinking responsibly or abstaining altogether.

Yes, we can argue that being irresponsible in your choice of sexual partners or how you choose to conduct sexual relations can cause problems like passing STDs or what have you. I'm still saying that homosexuality in and of itself is not automatically a "bad" thing, whereas alcoholism in general can be demonstrated to be "bad", IMHO.

Furthermore, there's no correlation between homosexuality and child molestation that I'm aware of and STDs can just as easily be spread by heterosexuals. It's not a homosexual-exclusive prerogative to spread STDs, if that's the point you're trying to make. That's another argument altogether, though.

I think we've beaten this dead horse enough, so I'm just going to say that I still disagree with you on some points and leave it at that for now.
