Sure ya do...remember this here:? "Let's say you like exploring caves." But like I said the question aint bout particular decisions or all the factors to begin with.
Why is that a reason to jump? I can expolore caves without jumping into a blind hole.
See, that's part of the problem, eh, Eric? Half the time ya "answer" some question ya aint even been asked, then think you've answered the question.
You mean, there might be a communication problem between two particular human beings, even when one of those humans is you? Perish the thought! It must be the problem of not-you, because you would never commuicate something insufficiently, eh?
In fact, I often get the idea that, no matter what question is asked, you will tend to always "answer" the same (different from the one asked) one, i.e., give your answer to the "ultimate question," directly or (usually) indirectly.
That is to say that sometimes you tend to treat every question as though it were "do you think [insert issue here, say "gay marriage"] is right or wrong?"
No, I was just answering the question of whether or not I would jump in the hole, outside of that persepctive. Still, I expect for people that are determined to portray their opponents as close-minded, it's much easier to make proclamations about what they are answering than to actually verify the intentions. Saves a whole bunch of time gathering knowledge and understanding, which I suppose those people don't really need or care for, y'know?
In this case, after getting several evasive or non-responsive comments in reply, I went out of my way to say what I was NOT asking and what I was asking. What good did it do me? You still chose to answer a question I said I was NOT asking, and ignore the question I said I was asking.
You asked if I would jump in the hole, I said I wouldn't because I had no good reason to do so. Before, I have said that when there were good reasons, I would jump. So, what questions are you really asking? Because you seem to be doing a poor job of asking them them.
To claim their rights, homosexuals argued (without scientific evidence) that their orientation was a genetic inheritance, like race, and thus deserved the same kind of civil protections the nation had guaranteed to blacks.
That's really poor logic. For example, minority religions have the same civil protections as racial minorities, and they seem to have no genetic component.
By the early nineties, many gay activists...began defending the “***** lifestyle” [rhymes with "steer] not as an ineluctable fate but as the result of a fully conscious choice.
I see no descrepancy being saying that an orientation is relatively fixed but a lifestyle is a choice. The author seems confused.
(More there. Believe it or not, the foregoing was a fairly "condensed" version of the article. If ya aint scared, and likes horror stories, click on that link for more, eh?)
I'm sure it's a great horror story, and from your condensed version, about as realistic as any horror movie you see.
So, ya see, Gay Pride parades down main street, with drag queens prancin and guys in underwear fondlin each other in public, is just fine but do not, NOT, I said, wear a straight pride shirt to school because it is "intolerant to homosexuality." Gays are not seeking "tolerance" they are seeking (demanding) affirmation and immunity from disapproval and will not "tolerate" anything less.
Similarly, don't wear shorts that say "White Pride". When you are in the culturally favored group, you don't need to protest.
This is not about tolerance. It is about affirmation. Anyone who believes that homosexuality is to be tolerated but not encouraged is smeared as a bigot, and now the public schools, in the name of violence prevention, are to become cheerleaders for gay liberation."
Good. Society is richer for the increased diversity that comes from encouraging differences.
Robert Spitzer is a Columbia psychiatrist who spear-headed the removal of homosexuality from the category of mental disorder in 1973. For decades he was a hero to the gay community, praised and glorified by gay activists as a pillar of reason, enlightenment, and correct thinking. ... The gay community turned on him like a mad dog. For example:
Many people in the gay community, most of whom did not seem to understand the results of the study but just the headlines, did. Many did not. Only the simple-minded act like there is some universal "gay community" thought or group.
So, zup wit dat, ya figure?
People being people, yknow?
