#34 – Obviously I reacted pretty hard and quick. I had Chinese for lunch and it always makes me reactionary.

What you just said is a valid position.

I just don’t fully agree. Where there is ignorance, one should shed light. Where ignorance is willful and used to breed hate and contempt, one should shed the sort of light that one sees after being (figuratively) slapped upside the head with the broadside of a shovel.

HMeyers, From your post, your arguments reduced to these three concerns.

“There are some gay advocates that believe that sex with children is “ok” and argue that the Greeks did this (they probably did). I know I have issues with that.”

You are talking about a handful of outspoken gay rights activists that don’t represent the majority. The fact is, most pedophiles are heterosexual and 30% assault their own children. The REAL problem is the mental illness that causes pedophilia, which statistically has no preference for sexual orientation in males.

OhForTheLoveOf’s post #33?… right on bro!

#38–HMyers==you are so full of it.

1. “There are some gay advocates that believe that sex with children is “ok” and argue that the Greeks did this (they probably did). I know I have issues with that.” ///// “some?” means this statement is nothing but BS as in==some, and I would guess probably MORE heterosexuals are pederasts. Gays already have enough on their plate (I assume?). Arguments based on pure rhetoric should not be the basis for any thought forming process much less a blog posting polluting the marketplace of ideas–such as it is.

2.–”And I believe that this is large part of the anti-Boy Scouts sentiment” //// What sentiment is that? That they should not receive government funds while they refuse admittance to gays???? If the BS wants to discriminate, let them do it without tax funds.

3.–”The attitude that many in the gay community have towards having a large number of sex partners does foster the spread of disease.” //// As does the same attutude among heteros. Patient zero was hetero.

4.–”And there have been legitimate problems a lot of cities have had with bathhouses and activity in public parks and beaches. This is just rude.” /// Yes, people having sex is a bad thing. All penises should be outlawed unless it is accompanied by bended knees and bibles in hand. What have you got against people being free to act as they wish with consensual partners? And you call this legitimate==as in any law makes an issue legitimate???

What you are doing (pretty obviously) is identifying aberrant behavior and simplistically associating it with gays. This is more clever than the Okie, but sadder in that you have the intellect to be more insightful, and from what I’ve read, more compassionate.

Wise up, fulfill your potential.

Osama Bin Laden agrees with her wholeheartedly. Extremist islamic fanatics also hate homosexuals and have severe punishments including death for it.

HMeyers says:

@ JimR “Oh shit. Sorry about that. The whole fricken thing turned into my link to a URL. Cripes!”

Haha, I’ve done that kind of thing too many times myself.

Almost as bad as bashing the military at Berkeley.

gregallen says:

This whole debate is bogus to me.

Bottom line: are gays are Americans.

So, they have the full rights and responsibilities of any other Americans.

All the rest of this debate is irrelevant. This includes what your religion says or how you feel personally about them.

#56, gregallen,

Unfortunately Sally Kern’s religion is not irrelevant. With her platform she is able to spew her hatred and bigotry to an audience.
