Let me try my comprehension skils. I will try to keep up. We can even use reason. Here we go. You stated that you do not "like" gay people. You did not say that you were ambivalent. You placed them alongside the following: Urine, Crap, Hairballs, and Joe Morgan. I have no opinion of the following _________, the connotation would have been that you do not care enough to respond to such. While this may seem callous and rude, it does not denote outright dislike. This what not what you said. Further, the definition of bigot is --------------------a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance (credit Webster). By, in essence, choosing to point out a specific group that you dislike, you are showing a form of bigotry. Perhaps, you were intimating (as Diablo stated) that you honestly do not care what any sexuality chooses and have come to a point where the constant politicization of such has become ad nausea, that would be understandable. We are all bigots in some form or fashion. It is human nature. For example, I believe that most sterotypes have a root--that is how they became stereotypes. Finally, as was stated above, you placed this group with things associated with bodily functions, nastiness, and assholes. I would venture to suspect (based upon your list) that you are not overly fond of each of these--you, in fact, say you "do not like" these. If one is to understand that bodily functions and excrement have a very derogatory connotations, then one can venture to say that you believe that gays are akin to such vile. What is so funny is that I was merely pointing out what appeared an oxymoronic statement. You can like or dislike whomever and whatever you please. I encourage it-- I am a libertarian.
appreciate the complement but it doesn't apply here. just figured you left a little bit out about the thought and trying to help out. all in the process of getting to know each other. btw i could make one more caveat since i do count gay people amongst my friends in life. its not the gay people that are so annoying but the militant agenda pushing zealots. most of my friends hate them too. they don't speak for them and they are embarrassed by the constant force feeding of their lifestyle. i don't want to see gay or hetero pda. no one does. its all about accept us. ok i do. now get out of my face please.
I hear ya. I too have gay friends and gay relatives. It's their choice. Just stop shoving it in our faces and stop asking for special rights.
<snort> he said "wise man" LOL but it is both an accurate quote and an overwhelming sentiment of the masses at times taken in or out of context ...
Maybe you should sit down with your gay friends and relatives so they can educate you on the subject. I don't think they're asking for special rights, but equal rights.
please tell me that we're not really going down that path are we? If if you really need to learn more about the opinions of various depraved DSP posters then you might want to start a "Gay but I can't help it" thread where the laughter can be contained elsewhere...
Didn't mean to sound like a dick, but why would someone choose to be something that's hated by many? I think it's common sense.
Ha. Gay and unmarried couples (prior to legal marriage) cried an whined and were given the benefits of married couples but those were not based on common laws as some states have. They didn't want common law rights. They wanted immediate rights and got them in some states Straight couples cannot do that. Sorry but that falls under special rights.Trust me. I am well versed on the LAWS. Not subjects. For instance. A straight man can marry his buddy, and reap the benefits while they still bang women with no repercussions. Look. I know most new laws are written very poor and lack serious thought so they all have flaws and loop holes which these new law do but they are SPECIAL rights no matter how you try and spin it. Read the fine print. All of it. The problem is few read an entire bill because it's lawyer mumbo jumbo but there is some very interesting bullshit in all bills that serve agendas. I asked a friend "what are you going to ask for next". He said. "Oh you'll see.........." Oh boy. I can't wait. .... :hamster: The worst part? The lawyers make all the money. LOL Shakespeare was right. "First thing we do is kill all the lawyers"
idk because not everyone feels the same? because a lot of people hate a persons position doesn't mean its invalid. hell i think personal responsibility is the most important subject in my lifetime. but a lot of people hate to be called out on that. does it make the conversation invalid? i like a dissenting pov. at least that takes balls even if its not popular.
No it isn't. I say some stuff that tests the boundaries of good taste as well...but generally just joking and/or at the very least in the context of baseball. Being gay is not a choice. Come on (not literally. You're not gay) bro.
Why would anyone choose a harder (there I go again..) life? Did we choose to be attracted to woman? No. We were just born that way.
It's a given fact that the majority of gays are born gay. Just like you and I were born straight (I'm assuming you're straight, correct?), we didn't decide one to day to be straight. Sure, there are those that pretend to be gay because they think that it's something that is "in" and they want to be "different", but that's like <1%. However, most I know say themselves they would prefer to be straight if they had the choice. If they still choose to despise on that group of people after that then that's their prerogative... I really don't know what to say. I think this conversation has gone longer than need be. Let's just end it here, or until you say your piece.
