You won't get what you are waiting for, you won't get him to tackle your argument head on, what you will get is frustrated as he picks on one tiny point of contention within your argument (but not actually important to it) and argue about that until a new one comes along....

Read back... Deja Vu? Circular argument. It is all Avogadro does, he's just Decimus only not so blunt.

I just want to say, this one really does offend me. I respect your position and any remarks I may have offended you with I'm pretty sure were a matter of not respecting your form; I do respect your position, I just disagree with it.

[I also respect you, mostly because I can always tell that you have done some serious thinking rather than treat posting as a knee-jerk reaction... even if your post is rammle tongue]


I know homosexuals who are great people. I don't hate homosexuals. I don't post my disagreements with homosexual marriage or adoption here because I'm a homophobe and everything gay is the enemy. But to claim that fighting for homosexual "rights" to marriage and adoption are anything parallel to blacks fighting for civil rights is disgusting. It's ignorant. It's insulting to those people. And even more to your own intelligence and dignity.

[Hmm, I'll tell you what, I'll make my argument as simple as I can: Homosexuals want equality. Now you are right in saying that our fight is not as hard as the Black fight for equality was (is?), but it is still hard because the inequality for Homosexuals is much less obvious, indeed most people don't truly understand what the inequality is because they never have and never will have to deal with it themselves.
...
At present the point is moot for me personally as I have a girlfriend, but should the situation change it would be nice to know that even with a German wrestler I can rest easy knowing that I have the same security and rights as I did when I was doinking a woman... now why is that too much to ask for?]

I think it is a mental disorder. Many brilliant and accomplished (even famous) psychologists agree with me. I'm not saying this proves my position--I'm merely saying that getting a majority of publishers to not publish this opinion today doesn't prove your case to any extent either. And I prefer the psychologists on this questions over the publishers. This does not fall under the category of "choice," but still does not afford it the equality you ask this question to demand.<

[I love talking to you: pure honesty, no bullshit games. Usually
Technically you are right; the cause of 'sexual deviance' (you like that?) is in the brain itself, some form of physical difference that can only be properly studied after death. For example m-to-f Transsexuals have been proven to have physically female brains.
Although we technically agree I am baffles as to how something that is not choice should lead to a denial of basic equality.]


>>So, just out of idle curiosity, why do you believe that black people deserve civil rights, but not homosexuals?<<

The question is on what grounts do you compare the color of a man's skin not determining his inherent dignity with the claim that differences in functionality are not differences in functionality? There is no comparison and your attempt is only insulting to every minority who has ever had to fight for his/her rights. You have made no case against the objections and questions I and many others have raised. You attack straw men and make odd meaningless comparisons and claim outrage at an injustice against homosexuals. All without responding to our questions or objections. <

[A difference in sexual functionality is reason to deny dignity? So where do you draw the line? Do you think those guys who can't get it up unless the woman is built like a brick shit-house should also be denied? What about guys who can't get it up unless their wife wears rubber?
See, the reason you are getting shoddy, non-specific answers that you are happy with is that your reasons for denial, and there for your questions, are equally so: "I don't care if you've been together for 50 years, you can't have the same rights as me and my wife, because you take it up the bum, and my wife doesn't."]


>>When a straight couple (in the UK) are together for five unbroken years or more they are deemed to be in a common law marriage and get the same financial benefits as a church wedded couple.
Homosexuals do not get these same benefits, no matter how long they are together, they don't even have the right to visit their partner in hospital because they're not family.<<

I have no objection to visitation rights and some tax benefits. I agree that visitation rights ought be granted just as they are with heterosexual couples. Live and let live; it's none of my business who your mate is and who you want visiting you. Taxes are more complicated because the benefit to society is not equal. Even in the case of childless couples, that's a matter of coincidence not form.<

[Sweet! That's all *I* want, too... I guess that means that this part of the discussion is over. big_smile]


>>Homosexuals are better for the economy.<<

Made up.
[you wish]

Pointing out that some parents are really awful parents does not make homosexual couples ideal parents.
[when did I say that? quote me exactly]

It does not mean that homosexual couples can raise children as well as heterosexual couples.
[I'm not saying that homosexuals make better parents just because they're homosexual, and you know it.]

Rather than make your case all I've seen is the claim that, since heterosexual couples can be bad parents, then anyone better than a trashy child-molester must therefore be given adoption rights.
[Again: When did make such a claim?]


Aditionally, I've never busted a nut inside a girl without a condom (without her using birth control) by accident.
[Not surprised to hear that]

[...] but the fact is that most heterosexual couples do NOT have their children by "accident."
[So you have incontrovertible proof that heterosexuals never ever ever ever ever ever have children by accident? I seriously doubt that.]

You guys sound retarded acting like the benefit of planning makes homosexuals advantageous over heterosexuals. Maybe you're all just virgins so this whole conversation is all foreign to you.

Planning makes EVERYONE better.... christ alive you're thick sometimes... X(

Yes, because homosexuals clearly serve the same function in society that heterosexual couples do. They create and raise families, the most fundamental building block upon which our society is built. Oh wait, they don't do that? Weird. I was sure you had thought this one through with your strong stand on the issue.... which you haven't even completed a thought about. <

Homosexuals are better for the economy.
Homosexuals always choose parenthood, it is never a surprise, and so they are therfore much better prepared.
Homosexuals have to do homework to prove they're worthy of parenthood, to prove they won't irreversibly screw up their child, how many straight people do that? (I bet you can think of a few that should have been forced to do their homework first, eh?)
Hell, how great would our economy be if it wasn't haemorraging money all over the trailer park trash, council estate scum, chavs, and their many, many, many offspring... most of whom are pregnant?

You can try to paint it any way you like, at the end of the day homosexuals are second class citizens for no reason other than mainstream societal xenophobia, just like those people who used to ride on the back of the bus.

Maybe American puffs work just like you say... maybe, but I doubt it, just like I doubt that fear of violence is the reason that American puffs won't picket Black churches. Every non-American, and even some Americans, know that American society has serious ethnic issues. Why else would your entire country have a big man-wank every time a black person does something?


So, just out of idle curiosity, why do you believe that black people deserve civil rights, but not homosexuals? (sorry to drag you back to the point, but this is my thread tongue)
