wozadummy:
(still iz, methinks)
For some reason I feeled compelled to speak up and not with the usual politically correct phrases.
Nor indeed grammatically, syntactically, orthographically or factually correct.
I've read hambeak's posts and never really picked up on him being "gay"
Maybe your gay-dar wasn't working properly.
,and you know I really like to read posts on different topics without the underlying tone of these posts being from a "gay"perspective.
What exactly is a gay perspective? What was the underlying tone of hambeak's posts? Are you concerned that you might catch gay? And I'm a little unsure what you want; should hambeak be upfront about his sexuality so that you don't have to read posts with an underlying gay tone, or should he never mention it or allude to it in case it offends you?
Some one phoning up like that is terrible to put somone down for ANY known thing which is, to me a private matter.
It's marginally better than doing it publicly.
Advertising your sexual inclinations on a primarily Jehovahs Witness discussion forum to me is tasteless
Then why did you do so in your very first post, you hypocrite?
and I don't give a shit if it's popular to condascend,fluff up, or pander to the whims of some people thru commenting on how terrible it is to bash verbally "gays".
It's not about popularity. It's about treating people decently.
I hate this terminology given to "classes" of people ,labelling them and then they get verbally bashed don't they?
We all wear many labels. I am male, left-handed, atheist, vegetarian, Irish etc. I don't speak for any one of those "classes" and there is a risk that some bigot will abuse me because I happen to be a member of one of them, but the labels are still valid and useful.
If I had a bent for hiding cherbals in my butt and came on here seeking support from all because some dick abused me ,would you all rush to me with sympathetic messages to the same degree I wonder .What if I complained that I was born this way with "cherbal in my butt" fetish ,supposedly caused by my dna and too many fluffy teddies in my crib ,would I get the same response from all here ? For I think I should not for this is a discussion group for JW stuff is it not?
Most people would regard you as free to do what you want with your butt, although as a lover of animals I would be concerned with the way you were treating the gerbils, just like as a lover of the English language I am a bit concerned with the horrible way you've abused the word.
Or am I being labelled now as a poofter basher myself now, well no I should,nt be but that just depends on whether you all consider yourselves as sheep in white and I'm black.
I think you're saved somewhat by your appalling inability to write a clear sentence. Nobody's really sure if you're bashing or not.
That's why I'm saying this coz to follow the popular flow of thinking is weakness as I see it and to pander to someones homosexuallity is just that.
The "popular flow of thinking" is not always wrong. Refusing to follow it just because it's popular is hardly a sign of great mental prowess. Is there a better reason that you have such trouble with other people's sex lives?
They are not victims but select it by intelligent choice and painting them as a minority is not true is it?
They don't choose to be homosexual anymore than you choose to be heterosexual, but they do choose to take part in homosexual acts, just as you choose to take part in heterosexual acts. They are a minority in that they fit every useful definition of the word. Is there any reason why their sex lives should trouble you so?
So why the great displays of sympathy coz he's "gay"....he or she is human and should be EQUALLY treated as a person not a poor victim.
Absolutely. The sympathy is not because he's gay. It's because he's not being treated equally, but is being harrassed by a bigot because of the incidental fact of his sexuality.
If someone treats a crippled person badly does'nt that just make it a bad event from that other person ,and I would imagine that the crippled person would not want gushings of "oh you poor person " for we see you are a cripple. Some people stand out in this world by CHOICE and others suffer bigotry for being born disabled - now is anyone going now to say coz a "gay" says he's born that way he's a cripple, he could'nt help it?
I can't quite figure out your meaning there, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope it wast just a muddle of disconnected nonsense, not a tirade of old-fashioned ignorant bigotry.
I'm going to read hambeak's posts the same way as I always did ,with interest,
Good. It would be idiotic to stop reading someone's work simply because their tastes don't always match yours exactly.
I don't want to know if someones sexual leaning are this way or that
No, you just don't want to know if they're "that". You alluded to your sexual leanings four times in your very first post on this forum and probably didn't give it a second thought.
...if there is a god who judges all he will one day give the answer individually to each one's life and if he condemns"gays" at that moment, who will stand by them then I wonder?
I would, for one.
