Yes they did, being gay is a choice.
Ugh. Why am I going to read the rest of this presumably ignorant post?
Some people find it okay some people find it akward and wrong.
Where are you going with this? Are you going to suggest everyone should be okay with it or are you just pointing out what is the case and that it likely won't change any time soon?
Or anything else, for that matter - make a point out of it instead of stating how something is, please.
Anyways, he was making a point along with the talk of personality.
I've only been reading from page 28. But disliking chocolate naturally (or, as part of his personality) was more or less the point of being abnormal compared to most others, just like being gay is. The person defending homosexuality was applying a person's logic of discrimination against gays to the disliking of chocolate.
Of course, this is pure speculation and I hope I don't need to elaborate further.
I see it as you should let people do what they believe in.
I hope you elaborate from here.
If you don't: Religious fanatics / terrorists I think will suffice as a counter-argument.
Be nice to them anyway even if you don't agree with it, even if is the stupidist thing in the world and makes no sense what so ever still you can be nice to them regardless of color, race, and beliefs. A person is a person, no matter what.
And an idiot is a stupid person. You shouldn't be so tolerant of people's beliefs when they are not valid and you shouldn't be so frivolent to those who can't change what they are naturally and cannot help it (this even includes sociopathic murderers, as a supporter of 'an eye for an eye' I don't think someone that mentally unstable should undergo the same fate as his / her victim).
If I believed in a purple unicorn floating above my head, that is invisible (but still purple, because it's written in the Unicode Book of Dreams) and shown me the lifespan of other people, would you belief me? Would you respect that ideology?
People who support their beliefs with sufficient sense and logical reasoning I don't mind, too much. People who believe in Religion (that is based on faith) and have their own philosophies based on absolutely nothing that can be properly presented to an outside person is what I don't trust, nor like.
A person is a person, no matter what.
The indication and the debunking of one's ideas, showing them the error is helping them if they choose to take it in. In fact, they're harming you if they allow you to waste your time presenting something perfectly viable (or at least 'better than'
to them and they don't put any effort to understanding or coming to terms with it (in the case that it is fact).
Along with the topic of the forum it all just depends on what you think is right.
Again, this kind of freedom of belief and freedom of expression you put with it is very dangerous.
I think it is wrong
Back it up, please. "Just wrong" and the like serves under the "Can't be presented to an outside viewer" because it is not logically sound or scientifically supported.
Thus falls under "stupid idea". As do most ideas, but still, that's why many people don't adopt them (this is an exception in that it is widely adopted by many people).
I didn't. If I did have the choice to find men attractive i would take it, (they're easier to understand than women!).
I appreciate the humour but also on a more serious note. I remember MageGrayWolf saying that he would take the option of being bisexual, because it would be the biggest capacity of sexual preference you can have (and thus enjoyment / options available).
Which is actually quite sound logic. I admit I was baffled when he said "bisexual" and said that, I didn't see something like that coming.
I'll like to expand from this by saying that I'd prefer heterosexuality not because I already am but because I'd rather reproduce and don't really believe in a relationship that I know wouldn't work out (which if I couldn't have a child with the person, then that would be an issue) so. . . :/
Then again, what if my partner couldn't bare a child? I think I need time to think about this.
Actually, guess I'm open to bisexuality as my most favoured option (if it were one).
I'll explain why if you ask me to on my profile.
But aside from religious beliefs, believing gays to be wrong is completely narrow minded,
Why is it that you excluded religious beliefs? If it were indoctrination, then you can bring up that a lot of prejudice that does not just come down to sexuality is spread down to the people's descendants that is not based on religion.
Religion bares no exception with this, honestly. It is equally narrow minded at least (given its lack of evidence supporting it at least, then the point that people will accept the morality of the book at heart even if it was justified to a benevolent being).
to choose either most of us (males AND females) would choose to like the same gender XD
That sounds about right.
