Well it's a very poorly thought out statement and awash in hyperbole but you're welcome to think what you will. :e4e:

I think it's a good thing that we live in a relatively free part of the world where people can live without fear of extremist laws that would police and usurp human rights. Consenting adults have the right to private lives, be they straight, gay, bi etc. It doesn't affect you if there's a gay...

Sure it was. Just like the US, Britain had to do away with ill informed prejudices and ignorance and both have. That's a good thing.

If he's saying goodbye he's taking his time about it... :eek:

Britain wasn't stoning people to death for being gay, getting divorced, owning pornography or having affairs in the 50's and 60's. There were still areas where racial segregation was tolerated and like the US, things progressed and draconian attitudes were dispensed with. Where it comes to...

A balanced and non extremist worldview = libtard to you? :idunno: Okay.

Nah. Well, no it shouldn't. If people want to have a relationship without getting married then it is (and should be) their prerogative. It's nobody else's business, state or otherwise. Well, no, if I wanted to justify the corruption of society then I'd be for laws that usurp human rights and...

You're welcome, someone has to impart some after all... :D

Some folk think that people having heterosexual relationships out of wedlock is "perverse" and should be punishable. Consenting adults have the right to a private and sexual life without state involvement, religious or otherwise. In one sense you're correct if Brunei enforces such laws, they'd...

What, do you think I was downplaying the barbarism of locking people up in claustrophobic cells? In that case you didn't hear me at all. Do you think we should respect cultures that violate basic human rights? Oh, and btw, in Brunei the whipping of "offenders" is apparently until they die.

This is the 21st century. There's no excuse for violating basic human rights no matter what the "culture" is and that's we have organizations that fight against such draconian injustices. It's especially ironic in Brunei given the opulent lifestyle of the sultan et al... I only buy free range...

Where it comes to Brunei, it's based on Islamic law and stoning or whipping people to death in the present age for being gay or committing adultery is simply barbaric.

Yes, I'm aware it's for adultery too and there's hardly silence over either in relation to people and human rights organizations speaking out against the new laws. It's barbaric on both counts.

Homosexuality should be decriminalized throughout the world so there's nothing sociopathic about that. I'm no fan of Trump but in an enlightened age it's only puritanical states that have laws that make it a crime. This is the West, not Uganda, Saudi Arabia or Brunei with the new laws you're no...

Wait, are you talking to me, or are you talking to me? (I'll wait while you probably don't get that). :D

Why are you still posting on a forum that you think is made up of three to four people? Has your "co worker" who thinks this entire forum is just the one person one with two thousand different aliases won his bet yet? :freak:

Like most people. Just like how most people don't fixate on one facet of it and spend years formulating some boring blog around it that nobody would ever wade through anyway... Still, aCW needs a hobby.

He was interested in the truth to be sure and had the courage to denounce such quackery.

Well, no. These "practitioners" claim to be able to help "clients" overcome same sex attractions don't they? The definition of conversion isn't "staying the same" and dealing with things a bit differently. These places proffer services that are aimed at changing the orientation of people from...

There's only one measure of "success" if conversion therapy actually works in its supposed aim. That being, for people to change from having a homosexual orientation to a heterosexual one. As Kit has pointed out, a bi sexual may consider it fruitful to solely pursue relations with the opposite...
