Ive asked this before, not to chalk up any kind of difference to my religion. I havent used religion as an excuse and for people to pass it off (which is what thats doing "oh hes just a religious nut") is pretty insulting. |
ok sorry. i didn't mean to offend. |

Well, your insight was a personal attack against someone stating views. I was discussing a subject and you took it to the dirty level of attacking personality and character and lifestyle instead of dealing with the issue. It was low and uncalled for, and entirely inappropriate. I dont really care what you do, and this being the internet I cant really react to personal attacks as I would in person.
But I think refraining from attacking me would be a good thing. And focusing on the issue and what ive said, and making your own statement regarding your thoughts would be infinitely more beneficial. |
i will do whatever i want, know that.
it sounds like i was a little too close to home.... just shrug it off if i was wrong... |

Im not saying you cant do whatever you want, im saying you shouldnt have done that. and to see no wrong doing in dropping in a personal jab is disturbing.
The whole "oh he hates gays because hes a repressed gay himself" is an extremely played out little saying. Its never used in formal debates and, like I said, is primarily used to attack the credibility of the person instead of what they are actually saying.
Im not angry at the intimation that I am a closet homosexual itself. Ive heard a lot worse.
Lets put it this way. When people are TRYING to piss me off, its not what they are saying, its the fact that they are TRYING TO PISS ME OFF that pisses me off.
I know what you were trying to do with that statement regardless of whether you knew your own intentions. It wasnt some innocent, wide eyed girl, saying that and flicking her hair over her shoulder and then asking for a lollipop. It was you attacking my character.
Thats the kind of thing I *dont* shrug off. Im not a , and Ill defend myself. As already stated, I cant deal with this like I would in person, so all I can ask is that you refrain from such low tactics in the future.
Of course, you have the option not to, and that is your call, and youll probably keep it going for a bit just to prove that you can and you are independent and what not.
Im saying, its frustrating and doesnt help anything, and hopefully you can see that. |

You took that completely out of context. |
what part did i take out of context and how did i change your intended meaning?
| quote: | | Also, youre ed up about being so blase` about death. It means they dont get to be on this world anymore, and thats messed up and sad. Death is wrong on at least 1 level every time, and for you not to see that is ing pathetic. |
Nothing pathetic about accepting that we don't live forever. Even fundies like yourself must understand you can't get to heaven without dieing first. We darwinians know without death the earth would become over populated and there wouldn't be a gene diversity, laying the ground work for catestrophic death on massive scale. So again why don't you consider death natural? |

gay and lesbian are two distinct groups within the homosexual community
you changed the intended meaning by not reading anything else that was posted. Or you just didnt get it.
ohhh im a fundie now. there we go. that resolves the issue. Keep up the religious chatter!
and once more, I do consider death natural. I consider it to be sad too. Because dying sucks...you dont get to live anymore that was my point. |

well i must say that i agree with a lot of what you said orbax about having something become your identity instead of being a person...you become a gay person, but i'm afraid that a lot of people are going to try and pass it off as prejudice.
i think that it is pretty trendy to be gay or lesbian...and i think that it is so for a reason very similar to what slylee said about being a "rebel". i think that the idea of being different is attractive to a lot of people and that is a factor in gay culture, but i don't think its the only factor.
my biggest factor when it comes to gays is, i'm not a factor. i see what other people are doing with their lives as not really effecting me so i don't care what they do. do i think its right? if right means that would i choose that for myself? no, but if right means do i think we should legalize gay marriage? sure what the hell.
my stance on gay marriage is that i think its something that should be allowed for the following reason:
married couples do recieve certain advantages in life be it a different tax bracket, a discount on your auto insruance, the ability to share medical and dental plans. if people are commited to one another, why shouldn't they be able to share those benefits? |
