Do you just toss the other 7 infants off the hill?

Women only serve as the means of reproduction so why not.

hit it then quit it am I right?

I don't believe in the Biblical story of the divine, but if it happens to be true, I'll be happy knowing that you're spending eternity burning in Hell.

Maybe in the atheist edited versions of the bible you read....

Whatever happened to "WWJD"
Doesn't seem very jesus-like to disown children. Regarldess of what you think is "wicked" I thought christians followed the motto: "o hate the sin love the sinner?"

God has a habit of smiting entire nations that displease him. I wouldn't temp him too much.

Women only serve as the means of reproduction so why not.

Would you continue to eat your wife's tasty sandwiches if she begets you another "savoury duck?"

No need to throw the sandwich out with the queer, to borrow a saying.

Homosexuals are gay.

Intolerance is probably my biggest pet peeve.

intolerance? First, read my post on page 1. Please. Can't miss it, it's the novel at the end.
And secondly, any logical person can also say homosexuals are being slightly intolerant of their own bodies and nature. You know... child production? Yeah... kind of something that we're all supposed to do at some point in our lives, unless we're unfit and can't get a mate (which happens all the time these days... but eugenics isn't something that is looked at highly by... well basically anyone... Hitler kind of killed that movement).

I'll repeat though... while the things I have said might sound harsh, I'm also not intolerant, just a realist. I'll give unconditional love to any child of mine, regardless of anything about them, be it mental health issues or homosexuality or sexual identity... and will respect anyone I personally meet, regardless of race, religion, or sexuality... regardless of whether I personally approve of their choices in life.

I think that with our higher brain function, most of us can reach the understanding that not all of us have to reproduce. Hell, it would be bad for everyone in general if that were the case. It's also naturally favorable for a certain percentage of people to be sterile.

After being on these boards long enough, I think it's reasonable to say that certain people just shouldn't be allowed to reproduce, period.

Take Texas, for instance...

I'll definitely agree with that though. We're overpopulated as a species anyway in regards to the planet's ability to support us.
So while yes, it's good that not all humans will be reproducing, but it shouldn't be out of choice, it should be out of good reasoning. Such as, people who cannot support their own children, people who have bad genetics that will produce children with the same bad genes, etc etc... but we're way past that point and breeding has become more of a sport and right of passage rather than the wish to pass on the best genes to the next generation to have a better and healthier population.
That, and too many people with super big hearts and chock full of emotion will love other people unconditionally and have a huge desire to pass on unworthy genes.

The only people I'll ever unconditionally love is my family.

It'll be interesting if the future moon colony is full of eugenicists and creates a population superior to Earth's. And yes, I'm implying that for certain we'll have a moon colony. Unless of course we destroy ourselves/push humanity back to stone-age lifestyles, or get wiped out by some natural disaster of epic proportions.

In AP Euro, we're studying about how back in the Medieval Ages, how parents felt very detached from their children, and even the ties between husband and wife had little love.

The responses giving off the same message as "lol kick that i love you outta da house!!" just really reminds me of that. I thought we had reached the point where love really was love, and completely unconditional... especially towards your own family.

The bright side is that due to the growing non-ignorance of homosexuality, gays will eventually find equal ground with the rest of the population. Tolerance is the concept. History will look back upon these days (and further back) as we do today with the segregation of colored people. That's what I think. Seriously, if you're prejudiced against people because of their sexuality, what makes you different from a racist? You're just racist against a different characteristic.

Some of us still hold to traditional values and don't endorse wickedness in our midst.

This originally looked like a joke post to me, but I'll reply soberly.

Why is it wicked? Because it's different? Because the Bible says so? Because you feel compelled to defend God and his omnipotent, all-knowing, i love you-hating highness?

I think wickedness is discrimination and/or hatred against your own children. But not just that! It's discrimination and/or hatred against an innate characteristic; one that cannot simply be washed away with blessings and brainwash.

I think that people who "don't want kids" is a good enough reason....

My whole life I think I've begged that man to smite me. Hasn't done it yet. If he does end up being real, he is a total dick, or a very young child with no moral compass of his own, which would be ironic considering all of our moral direction has come from religion.

This...even as far as carrying on the bloodlines go. I'm fine with adoption, considering that is something my wife and I will probably have to consider.

edit: I guess my only preference would be that if my gay kid was a boy, I'd hope he were the butch...and if a girl, she's the bitch.

Hmm, again I'll have to agree, wiping my previous statement from the record.
But will only slightly disagree, because if they have excellent genes but no desire for children, dammit we should at least harvest them genes!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I would first find out where they got this whole idea of being gay, then whatever source that is, they'd be forbidden from. If it's a group of friends, they could no longer hang out with those friends, if it was the internet, I'd apply some serious web filters or just dissallow them altogether.

From there, in a loving matter, explain and drill through them the fact that it's not correct to be this way, and send them to Bible school, counseling, anything that can help them out to repair their life style. This would not be easy though specially if the child is rebelious about it. But sometimes they just need to be led in the right directions. it's like trying to get a child to get off drugs.

maybe, but the problem is that "excellent" genes is no sure sign that the progeny will be a winner. I think upbringing has far more to do with one's success.

Hell, look at every single presidential brother....(and quite a few of their Children--yikes)

But where would they get their fix for color-matching and window treatments? No need to torture your poor queer son(s)

There was actually a pre-parody thread, in a way, that foresaw the eminent creation of this one.

AT has actually outdone itself, I'd say.
