I’ve noticed this subject tends to get too negative and emotional, regardless of what board/forum it’s on. It’s one people have a difficult time gracefully disagreeing on.

Arguments are circular because almost EVERYBODY (not just garysher) on the anti-gay side chases their tail in trying to justify their discrimination.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Your comment indicates your "discrimination" against what you call the "anti-gay" side!

And we have already devoted a lot of time explaining the difference between QUALIFICATION and DISCRIMINATION.

You prefer the latter because it is more emotive





If people want to say their religious or moral system is against it, fine.
You don't like the "gay lifestyle"? Do not live one. Simple as that.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You don't want to marry a woman? Don't marry one. Simple as that.

Incidentally, nobody is stopping you from living a "gay lifestyle".





But when they try to espouse it as a standard which is justified and should be followed in legal practice, it just falls apart due to the hypocrisy and inconsistencies with the rest of the system.
There is always some point where their arguments just fall apart and they drop the response argument. And it becomes circular when they later come back to argue the original point like it didn't already lead down the path of being disproven.
Au contraire.

It is YOU and your homosexual militant buddies who want to impose your standard of behaviour on us and demand that we accept it.

You are free to choose the homosexual lifestyle but you cannot demand that the rest of us accept it and try to label us if we don't.

Ask me a question sunshine.

I believe that could be because the people who are on one 'side' of this debate - i.e., the people whose lives are directly greatly affected - don't like to have their LIVES denigrated.

Of course, that's just a thought.

When did I ever say that?

Are you lying or just mistaken?

You said

"All the debates that have been here are civilized and reasonable ones until Garysher(usually) throws out a bigot or stereotypical remark that offends and angers nearly everyone here and then the war begins."

That is bigotted and offensive.

Noooo, THAT is a fact. Ask anyone around the forums
and if you read carefully, i never called you a bigot or anything of the sort, I said your Comments were. The mention of you being called anything was never brought up.

One does not have to ask, just read the threads before and after he arrives and see how the debates get ugly and personal.

And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.
