The term "slow" does sound rather offensive. That aside, people with learning disabilities might not be capable of looking after a child--after all, they might be incapable of looking after themselves.How are my views dangerous? I am very sympathetic to people with issues. I find the view that homosexuality is not an issue to be far more a danger to society, children, eduction, and love. Would you allow person with a learning disability (some would call mental retardation) to adopt children? I find that they tend to be very loving, kind, innocent, caring , and without malice. However, that is not good enough for many. They would rather a highly educated homosexual adopt a child (as though IQ's are infectious) than for a slow person to lead a child to adulthood. I find that mode of thinking dangerous. It places education ahead of character and talent ahead of virture.
Exactly.Where is your evidence that homosexuals have a disability that is tantamount to retardation in how it impairs one's ability to raise a child?
The scientific consensus is that homosexuality is not a disease; you either need to provide evidence that it is, or else stop treating it as such.
But as long as we're playing the "they-were-all-evil" and therefore deserved to die game, what about the 2 Kings 2:23-24 story? If I recall correctly, 42 kids surrounded Elisha, teasing him for his bald head, and so Elisha decided it would be a good idea to curse the kids in the name of the lord. At this point, some bears charged out of the woods and ripped the 42 little children to shreds.

Yes, of course it is. I see absolutly no difference between homosexual behavior, fornication, adultary, prostitution, incest, etc.... It is all rebellion against GOD. It is all the same thing. It results in the same patterns of behavior. The guy who cheats on his wife is no different then a homosexual. The guy who tries to entice little girls is no different than a homosexual. The guy who exposes himself in public is no different then a homosexual. They are all the same, doing the exact same thing. They abuse the sexual organs, they manipulate people, they want to be able to do whatever they wish with free abandon, they are stuck in a pattern of repetition.... They don't like the term sin applied to what they are doing----though they may say they do not care.Straight people make porn too....so is straight sex pornographic sexual behavior?
I'm really tired of having every act in todays world compared and contrasted with that of ignorant nomads who lived in a very different world more than 2,000 years ago. I know you believe that there's a god out there but I see no reason to believe such a thing. I especially see no reason to believe the Bible is representative of such a "higher" being. Thus nobody is rebelling against and gods... just against what you think is best. What you think is best based upon ancient and mostly irrelevant texts. These people thought the earth was the center of the universe. They thought that demons inhabited anything they didn't understand. They didn't know about germs or cancer or what the stars are or even what the moon is yet you let their thoughts rule your life.Yes, of course it is. I see absolutly no difference between homosexual behavior, fornication, adultary, prostitution, incest, etc.... It is all rebellion against GOD.
Only a turnip who bases his morality on outdated nonsense could come to that conclusion. The cheater is hurting his wife. The homosexual simply has a partner that is of the same sex and is hurting no one.The guy who cheats on his wife is no different then a homosexual.
The guy who entices little girls is harming them. The homosexual simply has a partner that is of the same sex and is hurting no one.The guy who tries to entice little girls is no different then a homosexual.
Vulgar nonsense removed. No point in responding to asinine foolishness.snip
Tell you what... you get your God to drag his ass down here and tell us all in person exactly why homosexuality is a sin. Until then it's you that's the sinner. It's you that's harming others with your constant ranting based upon ignorance and ancient ramblings. You want to go live in a tent in the desert? Fine, then your code of ethics might apply. But in today's world it's just no longer applicable. Sin means to miss the target and you've lost sight of what that target is.They don't like the term sin applied to what they are doing----though they may say they do not care.

That just scares me. Ok, littlenip, in reality the real world that we physically live on, some things are considered worse than others because they are.Yes, of course it is.

Just some random stats.Wow, just wow. Okay I'll admit you are entitled to your own views, but I find this hateful. I mean you don't see the distinction between homosexuality and incest. How are homosexuals abusing sexual organs?
Yeah. I was gone for, how long? Yet still, nothing has changed. It's the same people posting the same things over and over, while being outnumbered by people who are posting points that are being ignored.Oh god, I thought this mindset would be long gone by now...guess I was naive.
Just some random stats.
The risk of contracting AIDS from a single act of unprotected heterosexual intercourse is 1 in 715,000. The risk of contracting AIDS from a single act of unprotected homosexual intercourse is 1 in 165. (Tom W. Smith, "Adult Sexual Behavior and Risk of AIDS,"Family Planning Perspectives 23, no. 3 (May/June 1991) 104). "Does Homosexual Activity Shorten Life?" Psychological Reports. Vol. 83, Number . , 1998. Page(s) 847-866.)
Research shows that homosexual men are not getting tested for HIV. A report from the Centers for Disease Control showed that more than three-quarters of the homosexual men studied were unaware they were carrying HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.(Centers for Disease Control, International AIDS Conference, Barcelona, Spain. July 7-12, 2002.
A co-twin study found that men with same-sex partners were 6.5 times as likely as their co-twin to have attempted suicide. The higher rate was not explained by mental health or substance abuse disorders. (Herrell, R. et al (1999) "A Co-twin Control Study in Adult Men" Archives of General Psychiatry. 56, 10: 867 - 874.)
The rate of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men is nine times higher than among women and heterosexual men. (Centers for Disease Control, Media Center, 2002)
A study revealed a dramatic increase in anal cancer among homosexual men. This increase is traced to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually-transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women and is found in almost all HIV-positive homosexual men. (Report of study at annual meeting of American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, June 26, 2002.)
Homosexual men in San Francisco who reported having unprotected anal sex increased from 30% in 1994 to 39% in 1997. Those who said they had unprotected sex with multiple partners grew from 24% to 33% during the same period. (Sack, K. (1999) "For Gay Men, HIV Peril and Rising Drug Use," New York Times. Jan. 29 internet version)
A 1991 study of homosexual men in New York City revealed that the average number of lifetime sexual partners was 308. (Meyer-Balburg H. Exner, T.,Lorenz G., Gruen, R., Gorman, J, Ehrhardt, A (1991) Sexual Risk Behavior, Sexual Functioning and HIV-Disease Progression in Gay Men Journal of Sex Research. 28, 1: 3-27.)
According to Centers for Disease Control interviews, 50% of male homosexuals had over 500 sexual partners, the first several hundred homosexual men diagnosed with AIDS had an average of l,100 lifetime partners. (Rotello, G. (1997). Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay men. NY: Dutton.)
Clinicians Mattison and McWhirter studied 156 long-term homosexual relationships, but found that not one couple was able to maintain sexual fidelity for more than five years. Most maintained a monogamous relationship for less than one year. Homosexual theorists respond by redefining promiscuity as normal and healthy for homosexual men. (The Male Couple: How Relationships Develop, Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, Schmidt, 1995)
A. P. Bell and M. S. Weinberg, in their classic study of male and female homosexuality, found that 43% of white male homosexuals had sex with five hundred or more partners, with 28% having 1,000 or more sex partners. (A. P. Bell and M. S. Weinberg, Homosexualities: A Study of Diversity Among Men and Women (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1978), pp. 308, 309; See also A. P. Bell, M. S. Weinberg, and S. K. Hammersmith, Sexual Preference (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1981)
Among heterosexual couples, 75% of husbands and 90% of wives claim never to have had extramarital sex. (Robert T. Michael et al., Sex in America: A Definitive Survey, Boston: Little, Brown & Company, 1994) Other studies and surveys confirm the percentage of faithful spouses between 75-81% for husbands and 85-88% for wives. (Michael W. Widerman, "Extramarital Sex: Prevalence and Correlated in a National Survey," Journal of Sex Research 34 [1997], pg. 2)
i believe that people with same sex attractions . . . should not be ostracized. But I do believe that ultimately they are hurting themselves in spirit, at the very least. As we can see a lot of these people are hurting themselves physically.
Yeah. I was gone for, how long? Yet still, nothing has changed. It's the same people posting the same things over and over, while being outnumbered by people who are posting points that are being ignored.
LN, please, provide something that shows how homosexuals hurt people. Not something from the bible, not saying "it hurts Jesus," not saying because god said so. Something that can be backed up, hasn't been disproven, or the like. As in, an actual person that is hurt if homosexuals are around.

Nonsense. Provide us with a link from where you got this information. Until then I am going to assume that these "of all" statistics you have are relayed to very, very minor cross sections of various LGBT communities.
Every gay, lesbian, or transgendered person I know can be identified as monogamous, serial monogamous, or celibate. I don't know anyone who has had more that 500 sex partners. Or 100 sex partners. Or 50 sex partners. The highest of anyone I know has had about 25, and she is heterosexual.
I call meadow muffins until I see some linkage.
Oh, bless you!But what I mean was, "I thought this mindset would have died out with most of the producers of Boys Beware."
I second your motion, but nothing will come out of it. In the meantime, grab your glowsticks! It's a rave.
