Discrimination against homosexuals carried into the 21st century

quote:

---

So, it doesn't matter if we think that child moesting is a valid lifestyle?

---

No.It matters if it is a crime or not.And you do know that the overwhelming majority of child molestors are straight males, don't you?

More shell games.Don't you EVER get tired of trying to misdiret the audience?Rob blathers: What is the topic Rob?You are typical of the Christian Evangelicals and Fundamentalists, typical of the Televangelist and other Snake Oil Salesmen and Conmen.The topic is "Discrimination against homosexuals carried into the 21st century" not child molestation.Homosexuality is a consensual activity between two adults. It is not an adult taking advantage of a child. For you to equate the two is simply more of the dishonesty so common today in Christianity.The issue is whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to donate blood. The only possible negative consequence of homosexuals contributing blood MIGHT be the possibility of HIV infection. There are simple low cost procedures that would minimize that risk.

• simply hold the blood long enough to test for HIV anti-bodies.
• understand that the risk is HIV positive folk contributing blood, not homosexual people contributing blood.
• understand that given the choice of bleeding to death RIGHT NOW and the minimal possibility of contracting HIV (which increasingly is becoming controllable) the choice should be made by the individual.

Again, other peoples sins are none of your business.

Yes, I agree that we should do everything in our power to accomodate minorities. You just said that "Aids has nothing to do with homosexuality," so what "cost" are you talking about? If it's "inconvenient" to do what's right, boo hoo. Do it anyway. @#$% the danger.

Oh, but they conjugate, too, which probably feels a lot better.”Hoot Mon

All of our lifestyles do impose upon each other. That is the nature of community and sharing one planet. and that is why we have this conflict.No man is an island.What each of thinks matters because those thoughts then manifest themselves into actions that affect all of us.To say it is none of our business is utterly illogical.

Our lifestyles cannot legaly impose upon the rights of others.Not in the US, anyway.So, it doesn't matter if you and others in your church want to force prayer into the public schools; it is illegal to do so because it uses the government to impose your religious beliefs upon others.Similarly, you want to use the government to impose your religious beliefs upon others by defining marriage the way your religion does.

Well then be consistent. Homosexuals are not the only minority . You do understand that do you not?What good for the goose is good for the gander my fiend. We do not live in a vaccume.Are you willing to provide that same courtiousy to those who wish to court their pets?After all, it's someone elses sin and is none of your business according to jar?What about theiving politicians? It's none of your business.I really can't believe how utterly selfish all of you are... it is disturbing.Ringo: You might as well say, That is the heart of the beast. It's fatal wound is miraculously healed by the harlots and sourceries of madness!Oh mighty Babylon!I despise you and your end will be what you deserve. You've gone down to the pit.Edited by Rob, : No reason given.

Both ways, typically; if you think that's exactly like a normal heterosexual relationship in humans, then I suggest you need to stop picking up "women" in bars with names like "The Manhole."Also, much like your little adventures, bacterial conjugation is not a form of sexual reproduction because gametes are not fused to form a zygote. Rather, bacterial conjugation simply represents an exchange of donor mobile plasmids between individuals. No new individuals are created.

Bacteria don't feel anything, since they lack a nervous system.Some advice? Stop trying to be funny.

Hold on. Do I have to be accused of being a Christian to disagree with this idea that homosexuality is restricted to adults? At what age does gay-ness set in? 18? 21? I thought gays were born that way, no choice at all.”Hoot Mon

Rob, could you substantiate your assertion that preventing same-sex marriage will reduce the incidence of sexual abuse of children?

quote:

---

Are you willing to provide that same courtiousy to those who wish to court their pets?

---

No, because pets cannot give legal consent.Why is it, Rob, that in your and so many homophobes' minds, adult gay human beings are equivalent to dogs or other non-human animals?

People are born with their sexual orientation (in all likelyhood in most cases), but people are not born with the wherewithall to consent to sexual activity.But, of course, I suspect you already knew that when you attempted to sandbag the debate by equivocating homosexuality with peodphilia. I don't know if you have to be Christian to be dishonest, but in my experience it certainly makes it easier.

You're entirely right. But would you mind showing me where I said it was "a form sexual reproduction."”Hoot Mon

And they have sex with their opposites, too. Try Googling "bacterial sex" and see for yourself. There are many good photographs of male E.coli scoring on females. A score is when he shoots out his papilla and it hits her in the sweet spot.

When Shraf disagreed that this was how bacteria reproduced, you contradicted her in message 169:

Where you clearly make the assertion that bacterial conjugation was an additional form of bacterial reproduction, which it is not.
