Joey, you completely missed the point I was making. I was trying to give princessmonica a taste of her own medicine by turning round her words so that they applied to her. Although I disagree strongly with her views and there is some truth in what I said about being disgusted by them, she like everyone else has a right to express them and of course I know she shouldn't be thrown in jail. The point I am trying to make is: Just because she disagrees with something someone does perfectly legally she has no right to say they should be locked up. Just as I have no right to say she should be locked up for her views which I disagree with. She was being offensive so I thought I may as well be offensive back and see what she makes of it. I was deliberately unreasonable. Maybe it was a little too subtle for ya?

Also, elated as you may be to find someone who is sympathetic with your 'less rights for homosexuals' ideals you have to concede that she isn't providing much of a valid argument for her views. As you know I disagree with pretty much everything you say but you at least make the effort to put a little thought into what you're saying. She on the other hand has a lot to learn if she's going to get anyone to take her seriously in a debate, for example that being petulant, rude and refusing to justify her opinions won't get her anywhere.

Well, Miss priss Monica, I hate to tell you this, but you're not a true Christian. You say homosexuality is wrong, and that's your opinion. I say you're incredibly ignorant, and that's my opinion. Anyway, who gave you the authority to decide what should happen to homosexuals? I believe that's God's decision, NOT yours.

If you filled up the jails with innocent homosexuals, there'd be no room for the real criminals who may be heterosexuals. So you would be okay if you had muderers, rapists, serial killers, and -evil- people living in society killing, raping, stealing, etc.? What if you had children? Would you rather them be exposed to rapists and these horrible people who crucify children for their own pleasure OR innocent homosexuals because they're "gross?" Seriously, think about it. (Plus, it'd be your tax money keeping the homosexuals in jail.)

Don't teach hate, and don't condone it. Many people don't -choose- what gender they like. Those are feelings they develop, which is perfectly natural, though they obviously differ from your own beliefs. Please don't be so irrational. And don't post things like, "I don't care what you believe. I'm right and you're wrong," because these forums are here to discuss issues and "voice" differing views. Don't pollute the boards. If you don't care what anyone here has to say, don't post anything.

I see nothing wrong with it. While I am a Christian and if a gay girl were to hit on me, I admit, I would be grossed out, I do hang around homosexuals. They're human beings just like you and me. They deserve respect too.

Yeah the problem with your mind-set is is that you want freedom for yourself, but not for others. wether you like it or not this is a free country, and wether you agree or disagree with the way a person lives, is completly irrelevent to if they should be able to live the way they do.yeah ill admit it does gross me out, but i do not tell a homosexual what he/she is doing is wrong. Im not here to judge. but i do tell a homosexual, as i would tell anyone else, That Jesus Loves you, and plus forgives.

I know how angry i get when people tell me what i believe is wrong, so i try not to tell people what they believe is wrong.

why is it then that the gays and gay supporters want "something other than Biblical" references?

Because I could make my own religion today and have my own holy book and write in it that everyone is stupid, and when I call you stupid and you ask why I could simply said its in the book of my religion...

In other words.. it's not enough.

(Not wanting to cause another argument, since we already agreed we disagree... or so I agreed)

Why do you think homosexual people should be thrown in prison because of their sexual preference? Again I ask, why do you people CARE so much? People don't think before they speak anymore and it causes them to hurt others. What is so repulsive about them? Please tell me because I would seriously like to know.

I see nothing wrong with this picture.

Sorry.

Now, see, this "offends" me.

So because someone has an unpopular opinion, or an opposing viewpoint, they should be "thrown in jail?"

Or shouldn't be able to have kids or marry?

And you people rip others apart for being intolerant and insensitive and close minded?

Take a look at yourselves.

You're no different than the person you're firing off at.

And hey, since a majority of Christians don't think homosexuality is right, why is it then that the gays and gay supporters want "something other than Biblical" references?

Yet some of you tell us to "provide information backing up your argument."

So not only do we not have the freedom of speech, but we aren't allowed to stand by our religious views either?

Someone please -- some person who just has the slightest amount of agreement with me - tell me that this picture isn't right.


You people should seriously walk the walk before you talk the talk when it comes to preaching this Political Correct tolerance BS.

Very nice, Bex, well done.

Please try not to form opinions until you can justify them. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't back up anything you say?

People like you shouldn't be allowed to marry or have children. It's bad enough ruining the world with your hate without passing on your twisted morals to a future generation. You are evil and should be thrown in jail. You disgust me and anyone else with any sense of true morality or respect.

See how you like it.

What gives YOU the right to decide how the rest of the world should live? What have gay people ever done to you? And you can shout all you like but you're not going to change the fact that homosexuality exists and will always exist. You may as well try to get used to the idea.

On the Adam and Eve thing. According to the bible, God created all people, and that includes the gay ones so please try to treat them with a little respect. If you're going to take the Adam and Eve pairing literally, what do you make of the small issue of incest which crops up in the second generation?

Finally, if you care so little for what we have to say why did you bother asking for our views at all?

With all due compassion

I think untolerant people should be put in jail.
(wow, arent I being untolerant??)
I think radical homophobes should be put in jail.
(much better)

Ok. Now, can you explain how it is that they are ruining the world???
And why is it wrong, exactly???

If you are going to post something explain why you say it, with logical proof, not by posting bible stuff.

I dont care what you say ITS WRONG nomatter what anyone says thats my beleif . I think it should be illeagal for those types of ppl to be married. I also hate it when they get kids I mean its bad enough they go and ruin the world but they have to humiliate their kids.

Monica, I know you have a right to your own opinon, but I mean, you're abusing that right. You can't go around saying that all homosexuals should be put in jail, you don't even know what drove them to homosexuality.
What if you just started liking girls and you couldn't control that feeling. Would you want to be put in jail for a feeling you have no control over. No I didn't think so.
I'm not gay or anything, but I know people who are and they're just regular Janes and Joes like us. They just happen to prefer people of their same sex.
You did not have to be rude about it. I know you think it's not right, and will probably come up with something like "It's in the Bible" "God doesn't approve of it" Frankly I don't think your sexual perference should even matter, just as long as you love God.
That's just my opinion, wat do you guys think?
