Smothering stupidty

[whttrshpunk]

Does anyone else feel absolutely SATURATED with stupidity on a daily basis? I'm seriously losing my patience with the whole of humanity. Not only are people offended by the most trivial things, but their being offended forces other people to change their behavior and/or speech so as to appease the offended group.

News Story

Does anyone else see a few angles of irony here? The funniest to me, is that gay men got their feelings hurt because of the suggestion that they aren't manly. By the way, in case you missed it, straight men do not enjoy kissing other men. Sorry to break it to you!

1. Nice work, throwing kids in there for no good reason other than to make your position seem more emotionally appealing. "Think of the children!"

2. Why is it only OK for people to have and express an opinion when that opinion agrees with [insert ethnic/sexual/political group here].


I don't like homosexuality. It disgusts me. I think it's morally wrong. I don't believe people are "born that way".
What bothers me, is that some of you who read the above statements will actually get a twinge in your stomach and think "oh my God, what a heartless bigot he is!".

Actually, it's been proven that homosexuals have one of the glands in their brain smaller than heterosexuals, so there is a possibility that people are born that way. With all the ridicule that they get, no one would want to be gay.

Still, I see your point. Special interest groups and minorities demand that people sympathize with them and get pissy when they don't. My dad owns several engineering and construction firms and now it's much harder for him to get contracts because he is a Christian Anglo-Saxon male.

Being a mechanic, I was offended they used mechanics in the commerical.....................

Not really, I'm just offended by most peoples presence in general. Gay or straight.

Scag a link for that?

With all the ridicule that they get, no one would want to be gay.

By the same logic no one would want to be any kind of minority or any other group that takes abuse for what they are/believe in. Your thinking is flawed.

This is kind of how I figure it.

Humanity in general fails at everything.

Like Jews, Muslims, Christians and all other religions out there? The main reason people stick with religion is for the hope it gives them hope, and if something gives them hope, they're not likely to stop. Of course there are still people that abandon their beleifs because of ridicule.

If you think doing/loving guys is weird and would never do such, then congratulations, you are straight. If you enjoy doing/loving guys, then your gay. If you enjoy doing/loving guys and girls, then you are bisexual, it really is a choice for you, and you're one of the main reasons that AIDS is found among straight people(bastards).

Humanity in general fails at everything.

Except for the automobile.

i just look at the commercial as a parody of the rampant homophobia in our society today. what if the ending had been a meeting of lips and an embrace instead of the macho bullshit? he might have gotten the car fixed for free.

[turtlecrxsi]

The funny thing about it is the commercial was removed from being aired yet I saw it on my local news broadcast this morning.

I think homophobia is worse than homosexuality. What about women that love other women? Yeah, I'm sure you like that but only if the women are hot right?

I guess for you it's okay to be a racist bigot as long as your not gay... Jeez...

A) Homosexuality is not a race, it's a "sexual preference"
B) I never said that I thought lesbianism was ok, YOU said that for me. Do not assume to know what I think/believe
C) I never said being a racist bigot was "okay" (that includes racist OR bigot)
D) Maybe you should take another class in reading comprehension. I never said anything about PEOPLE. I only stated my disagreement with certain IDEALS. READ first, THINK second, SPEAK dead freaking last.

Homosexuality is a behavior, not a sexual preference. And like ALL OTHER behaviors, it is influenced by both genes and environment. That is to say, that there is a genetic component, whether you like it or not, and there is also an environmental component. You don't choose to have homosexual tendencies any more than you choose to have something like an addictive personality.

HELL YES!!! Guilty as charged!!!

Isn't that San Francisco's new slogan?


Now as for the commercial and the PC crowd..

The Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation complained to the maker of Snickers, Hackettstown-based Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars Inc., which also makes M&M's and other candies.

Human Rights Campaign, you're a bunch of fucking wet vaginas.
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Again Defamation, shut the fuck up.

I swear I'm tired of all of this PC bullshit. It was two guys that were freaked out becaused they kissed accidently. It was a funny commerical. If you didn't like it, change the damn channel! Otherwise, shut the fuck up and don't bother the rest of us that live here in reality.

end rant

If you're going to make statements based on supposed facts you should provide a bit of support for your position. I've never seen ANY conclusive evidence that proves being gay is genetic.

[drunken monkey]

so you're saying that being gay is a choice?

if sexual preference is a choice issue, then just for one day, you choose to be gay.

Very few people that are a member/part of/believe in *Whatever* type of organization/group/religion believe that catching flak for being in said group is because there is a problem with themselves as people. Ask just about anyone who is subjected to this kind of negative attention and they'll tell you, the world has a problem with them. Your original post about "No one would want to be gay because they are exposed to a lot of discrimination" is flawed. Obviously there are people that want to be gay regardless of the discrimination that comes with.

If you think doing/loving guys is weird and would never do such, then congratulations, you are straight. If you enjoy doing/loving guys, then your gay. If you enjoy doing/loving guys and girls, then you are bisexual, it really is a choice for you, and you're one of the main reasons that AIDS is found among straight people(bastards).

Where the hell did that come from? Do you reply with something that has nothing to do with the quote for fun?

Like virtually every other behavior, it's heavily influenced by environment and experience. I doubt you'll find anyone who choose to be shy or quick tempered but those are both behaviors that were learned and became apart of that person. Sexual behavior is learned just like any other and I don't see why it's such a stretch to think that life experiences and environment could push someone towards being gay.

As much as I believe in the power of genetics, I've yet to see any definitive work published on a specific DNA sequence that is present in gays and not in straights. Barring that, I don't see any support for an argument based on genetic causes. I would wager that there is probably some sort of possible genetic predisposition towards it, just as there might be towards any other behavior. However, just as any other genetic predisposition does not guarantee any kind of behavioral out come, I would also wager that environment and experience plays a role a hundred times greater than any genetic factors.
