Homosexuality, just like a second head or sixth finger, is something that humanity should strive to get rid off via medical treatment.

A first for me on HLP; I stand utterly disgusted by that statement.

Actually I wouldn't mind having a second head and an eleventh finger (seeing as I have a sixth, seven, eighth, ninth and tenth fingers already ).

That way I would have twice the thinking power and more manual dexterity.

Also you state that humanity should strive to get rid of homosexuality? Why? because you think it's wrong? Because it is against your religious beliefs? You state it is a sickness?? Why, because medical journals used to say it was?? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever!

That line of thinking is as almost as bad as Hitler gassing homosexuals during WWII

you know if it worked properly and wasn't just a waist of flesh, I would like a sixth finger, having a second set of arms would just rock, and a set of working wings would just be awesome.

What, did you never see Liberator?  He was worse - a shockingly intolerant bible-thumper types who wanted to 'cure' homosexuality, etc (who seemingly was one of the most miserable people in the world with absolutely no self-confidence or sense of self worth - y'know the type, deprecated by an approach to religion that tells them they are worthless because they once ate a bee by accident or something and thus are sinners). 

Well, maybe not worse in opinion but a bit worse in expression.

[BlackDove]

Yeah I remember Liberator, he was that ugly mother****er who couldn't get women right?

Didn't know his opinions were equal to this kind of ****.

Hmmm, rings a bell, but I don't quite remember ever reading his ramblings.

Still, TM's statement just reeks of - forgive the horrible cliche - Nazi-esque intolerance. Honestly, it's downright stunning how misguided some people are. Here I was thinking that religion was about bringing all peoples together in peace and harmony for the betterance of mankind. How wrong I was.

TrashMan:

actually, you are the one refusing you could be wrong - every time someone asks you to JUSTIFY your assertions about homosexuality, you just repeat them - you have NO REASON - just hatred

I do leave room for me to be proven wrong - do not confuse your incapability to prove me wrong with me not listening.

Homosexuality is not a "disease", it is a difference - you are merely preaching hate

and the analogy to blacks isn't very far off base


TrashMan you argument - on both god and homosexuality - is "I assert X, therefore X"

Aldo: but of course... don't you know "X, therefore X"!

Wobble: he doesn't know himself, so how can he answer our demands for justification of his homophobia

PS: they've found that homophobia is linked to repressed homosexual urges

Liberator couldn't get women because no self-respecting woman would touch that misogynist

what was funny about Liberator - his choice of name when he's the biggest theofascist i've ever personally spoken to

What can I say, i'm an optimist.

Edit: Ooooh! Liberator! Now I remember that wonky bastard. Damn, that kid was messed up something bad.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

I never gave a **** though so I don't quite remember.

i'm personally annoyed that I don't have 14 fingers. That way I could have learned to count in base 16 from an early age rather than always having to deal with hexidecimal as an intellectual problem cause I only really started using it in my late 20s.

You should've chopped off 6 toes - problem sorted

[Kazan]

lol

you could have also used four toes as the second digit place

PS: they've found that homophobia is linked to repressed homosexual urges

Not true. "They" undertook one study in 1996 (Adams, Wright & Lohr) that tested homophobic vs non homophobic men when exposed to sexual stimuli and found greater arousal in homophobic men than non homophobic men when exposed to male-male sexual stimuli (gay porn basically). But it was considerably less than the groups arousal for the hetero and lesbian stimuli, and the non-homophobic men became aroused as well. There are a lot of possible reasons given in the discussion section as well. (hell, read it yourself.

But, there have been a lot of other studies that promote other viewpoints, and don't find any evidence of homosexual tendencies in homophobic men (Meier et al, 2006, Parrott Adams & Zeichner 2001 etc. etc.)

Only if my intention was to knock out the classroom when I took my socks off to start counting.

[Kazan]

yes... i know the complete analysis... but it suggests that homophobic men are more aroused by homosexual stimuli than hetereomales

it's quite possibly just a nervous response, or a response to exposure to "taboo" material, etc - but after that first sentance I said the rest is speculation

You wouldn' have to worry about the smelly bits of much between your toes with no toes for it to go between, though.....

Edit: Oh yeah, and welcome back and soforth[/HollowNiceties]

Welcome back WF!

And what was about boobies is now about, homophobia and homonegavitism :
