Here we go again: Why are Adults SO very much Less accepting to gay relationships then teens?

[narzy]

I personally have no problem with gayness, bisexuality, ect...My only rule is don't tell me about it...your life is your buisness, not mine kind of deal. why can't others be accepting of the fact that it exists, and that its not the cause of the worlds problems. yes perhaps some of the acts gay and lesbians do behind closed doors are what some may call disturbing disgusting ect..., don't a lot of people do the same to their significant other? butt rumping right?

why must other people go out of their way to tell others how wrong they are, how this is this way...and your way is sick ect...I mean really their way is their way and your way is your way and my way is my way...

also where in the bible does it say people of the same sex who love each other is wrong, or is a sin?

what brings the teen aspect into this is in my personal experience as a well bonified teen, I have asked around and found that most of my friends, and others in my school / area are open to the fact that homosexuality exists and we really don't mind it. but I ask the same of adults and get a very different response, ex: its wrong, sick, a sin (from some religous types) but not all religous people belive that its a sin, ex: my ex-pastor and I had a long discussion on the issue, and he is as accepting of it as anyone, we reviewed the bible on it and found nothing too relevent to the topic nothing saying it was a flat out sin. I have since lost faith, and fallow my own little scheme, I did this for many reasons, one being all the crap that has happened in my life, if it is "god" "testing" my faith I want no part of it .

all in all its your opinion and even though I personally might not like it, it is your to have.

 

[Kadarin]

My opinion is that sex is good, and more sex is better. It's all about doing (and having done to you) what feels good and wonderful and who cares about anything else?

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

well adults have grown up thinking homosexuality is bad. when i mean grown ups i mean people your age during the 80s or earlier. it amazing how fast the message of homosexuality acceptance has spread so quickly in such a short time. when i was 6 or 7 i had no idea what gay was. now people are winning TV comedy awards just by playing a gay person well.

We grew up with it. We accept the internet more than them for the same reason.

 

[Nefrodite]

kinda like how politicians fear video games, i doubt many of em have ever touched one. oh no! doom causes homocidal tendencies! what bs grr.

 

[BoberFett]

Way to generalize, jackass!

Remember kids, if you don't have the facts, make something up!

 

[IGBT]

Risky and foolish behaviour has it's price...and it's hazards are less obvious to the young and foolish.

 

[PrinceofWands]

ooops, sorry, never mind... didn't see the winky face.

 

[Geekbabe]

It's 8:30 in the morning.. I can barely find my way to the coffee pot let alone think about what kind of sex other people are having

 

[BoberFett]

I just made cheese and sausage omelettes baff, come on over and I'll set you up.

 

[Ornery]

Why don't teens capitalize the first word in a sentence?

I don't give a damn what anybody's sexual preference is, but swishy, effeminate men make me cringe, whether they're gay or not.

 

[Kilgor]

Because most teens nowadays have been raised by MTV instead of their parents. The way teens seem to think is anything that feels good is good dam the consequences. Personally I don?t care what people do in their bedrooms, but sticking things up your rump isn?t all that healthy for either sex. :disgust:It?s an out hole not an in hole. Actually now that I?m thinking about it I probably felt the same way when I was a teen, I just didn?t get a chance to act as stupid as teens do now because my parents wouldn?t let me.

 

[sciencetoy]

Well, I'm over 50, and when I was a teen gay was something you got thrown in jail for, lost your job, got banned from the family etc. Gay was for remote types like theater people (who were also not respected), foreigners, commies, New York City folks, etc.

Sure I knew guys who were gay. But they didn't dare to say it, or defend it or anything, or they would have been beat up or worse. Also thrown off the sports teams, suspended from school, not hired at any job, ostracized from the family, etc.

The general attitude was that there was something wrong with gay. Mind you, it was also the general attitude that "awesome people" were less than human, that women were not as strong, intelligent, stable etc as men and could never hold an important job (like president or senator) because during that "time" they wouldn't be able to make important decisions, and that "nerd" was a bad thing to be.

The 50's were a stupid time to grow up.

Hehehehe... (Anything I can do to help?)

(sorry, it's 6:13am for me, and I've been up at work all night..)

 

[myputer]

I'm an adult and I could care less who people wanna have sex with

 

[Spook]

I look at it this way.... In Gods eyes, it may be fine, or it might be a sin.... I don't know, but in the end God will sort it all out... I have nothing to worry about, since I don't live that lifestyle, but I have enough other things to worry about in Gods eyes... Why should I worry about someone elses problems too...

Especially being gay, since they aren't hurting anyone else... Let's worry about the muggers, murderers, and rapests out there first...

<< also where in the bible does it say people of the same sex who love each other is wrong, or is a sin? we reviewed the bible on it and found nothing too relevent to the topic nothing saying it was a flat out sin. >>



Your 'ex-pastor' is smoking crack. Neither you nor anyone else has to accept the Bible as being correct - you can make your own choices.... However, from a strictly religious point of view, there is absolutely positively no doubt that the Bible clearly says homosexual sex is a sin, a deadly sin at that. For one, any sex outside the bounds of marriage is in itself fornication, a deadly sin. Since the Bible also indicates that marriage is the binding of a man and a woman in the eyes of God, it doesn't recognize anything about a man-man or woman/woman or man/dog or whatever marriage. That would mean that by default, all homosexual sex is a deadly sin. Now, in theory someone could be gay without engaging in sex, which would not be a sin. All this new-age religion BS where they're trying to make religion "politically correct" is sickening. There's a new "gender neutral" Bible in the works where basically the scriptures are altered to fit current political views. Sigh...

I'm certainly not a Bible thumper or overly religious -- I personally could not care less about what people do in their own privacy, and I don't believe in any government intervention (legislative or otherwise) to try and impose morality. Let people do as they see fit for their own lives. That doesn't mean I have to like it or agree with it, it just means everyone can make decisions for their life and lead it according to their standards, so long as they don't negatively impact others.

The thought of two guys doing the butt pirate thing just makes me nauseous, just the same as two women.

 

[Moonbeam]

As infants we probably all stuck our hands in our own feces and then in our mouths. Mommy may have flipped and we may have drawn associations. The same with snakes and spiders. We have a capacity to be revulsed by things, foods, creepy crawlies, simers, types and even colours of people. We pick it up in childhood and find it almost impossible to break from. The capacity may be an evolutionary learning defice for animals without a brain and culture, ie language, to transmit information about what is good and bad. An animal that survives a food poisoning or a snake or spider bite etc. or capture by the other tribe, etc may have a genetically potentiated revulsive memory activated, and that reaction may be triggered in juveniles who witness such events take place in the surrounding adults. The sight of a leopard and the screams and flight to trees by adults may then implant the same disgust in the young and save them at a later date. Mommy can't draw a picture of a leopard and say , Johnny drop whatever you're doing and climb a tree if you see this.

So we may be very succeptable to learning prejudicial disgust and loathing at an unconscious level depending on the communality and reinforcment we get for such a reaction from our elders. It may also be that it gets triggered accidentally in inappropriate situations that creates for certain individuals irrational fears, at least as far as the rest of us are concerned. Naturally, if we share those reactions, we thing the person posesses profound common sense. Unfortunately, since we seem to have the capacity to experience revulsion, it seems that we may be forced to use that capacity somewhere. One big problem is that the same mechanism is turned inward, that we hate the way we once were, before we got landed on by our elders.

As a society externally begins to see that their bias is irrational and attempts to ammend itself, c more and more of the young will grow up, not just with the realization that they are improperly biased, but bias free, at least in that area.

It seems to me too that the whole evolution of culture has been a slow upward crawl out of superstitious bias toward objective vision and that individuals as individuals fall across the whole spectrum. Neanderthals and advanced humans, psyche wise, inhabit the same planet.

 

[Amused]

I'm 34 and I think that qualifies me as an adult. I have no problem with it.

"All generalizations are false, including this one."

 

[jjones]

I grew up in the 60's and spent my teen years in the 70's. I don't think we had much different a point of view than what I see in teens today. Maybe homosexuality is a little more accepted now but not by much. My opinion is different strokes for different folks and whatever turns you on; just don't press your lifestyle upon me unless, of course, it's two women insisting that I join them. .

 

[StageLeft]

People brought up in different times. Ask the average 70 year old and you may find that many of them hate the idea of a bf and gf living together - far more than, say, 40 year olds. As current teens become adults gay relationships will be more accepted. I'm 24 and have less against them now than I did 5 years ago. I have nothing against it now. Nothing at all!

 

[Moonbeam]

Amused;

"All generalizations are false including this one" Cute, I presume you mean that the generalization that all generalizations are false is false.

The rule is that there are exceptions to all geralizations except this one.

That was the most ignorant thing I have heard all day, congrats.

But it is true. Sure that's another generilzation, but it is true. Read the sentence again and tell me why that is ignorant? Seems to be a statement of wisdom to me.
