Or lack of reading and reporting in context? :think:
Faced with either the bigot or the child molester? I'll take the bigot.
We are talking relative harm here. My Father and Step-Father were in the wars. They are both bigoted against asians respectively. It doesn't go as deep as you imagine. Society nor my asian friends nor my kids give it much thought.
As predicted. I usually just correct your's as above and don't comment. Such is a petty thing. At that point, instead of petty if I were in your shoes? I'd have provided a lot or a few links to test the fact. You missed an opportunity for being trite and petty. Think about yourself and your own prejudice against the prejudiced. At least I was open for a short season and you were not. Why are you on TOL again? Just need a place to hate the rest of us? You are a bitter person. I've no idea what makes you tick, but it is clear you don't like us. It seems a strange obsession, when, provided the opportunity, you'd choose the cheap, mean-spirited, and petty. Do you honestly care about gay people? Why did you miss yet another opportunity to prove the point and set me straight, or gay, or whatever?
You found the gay-gene? Give it to me. The world has been waiting for that science result.
Not only didn't watch that hateful video which is well beyond what you will see from Christians, you then try to plaster both of us? Where is my slur? Innuendo? I don't do those either. Are you purposefully misrepresenting and slinging here? For what end?
:idunno
lease explain. Those aren't mine. I try and only use what is a fact and I can support.
ACW believes he can support all of his material. We disagree on that point, likely. AND I have chased a few wrong leads and thinking regarding gays but much more of them have been true and accurate. I haven't read all of ACW's.
It is the internet. I'd hope you'd be careful with every single one of us, and anyone from any other internet site. The teachers on here, the state has screened for us. We could do a bit of work if we were ever pressed for the need, but that's unlikely.
Are you female? I'd guess from this you are male but I had thought before this you were a girl. Sorry if 'her' ever offended.I've never once been. I want to know why not.
:nono: A few of them were coupled.
I haven't even read this to know what you are talking about really. I haven't read all of these massive threads. Even if I had, I'd likely have skipped over ties that are hard to make. I believe we can draw evidence but history is harder to make ties to unless such is very clear, like a case study. Because I don't have access to all the collected data, I pass. I'm mostly interested in what can be substantiated readily.
You mean like you just did with me? I just told you they are relatives and friends. I cannot change the definition of sin. I'm as against my other relatives' sinning as well. One alcoholic. One is a divorcee, etc.
This isn't about that, really. My involvement is to simply say 1) don't 'okay' it and 2) Don't protect what is wrong. The last I talked to one of my relatives, I told her that we basically had the same sentiments as her mother and to listen to her mother. Her mother was sharing scripture and talking about why it was sin. She still sees her mother and spends time with her. Basically, in my home it is "We care about you but this is sin and we want you to know that."
Sexual abuse is a big deal and affects a child (most often girls) for a very long time and makes intimacy a difficult issues. All sexual abused victims will deal with this needing special care. There are misbehaviors associated with it that though may look 'natural' aren't good. A promiscuous victim is not dealing well with his/her abuse (not just homosexual, all of them). We need not and should not excuse the behavior but let them know it is because of the abuse that negative behavior would be of consequence. We should more appropriately address such rather than condoning.
