That's the spirit. Engage in argument and be enlightened.... or shown up, whichever occurs sooner!

What happened to DBW - I asked her a question and she's gone all quiet .

Maybe She's a Hari Krishna devotee rather than Jehova

Back to the original question- Does anybody round here live and let live?
Yup. But only towards things I'm tolerant of.
The things I don't like I speak out about, much as you do, doesn't make any of us "bad people" just different.

Moose, either you're gay and it was written with a "touch" of sarcasm or if you truly believe that then I would seek help.

Do I REALLY have to point out that my entirely ironic post was in response to the Neanderthal nature of Jasey's Daily Mail-esque ramblings?

Oh, I see I do!

(Bear in mind I simply don't use emoticons)

I'm not gay, but a couple of very good friends are, and I'm incensed that idiots still persist with equating homosexuality with illness, or comparing it to child abuse. Clearly trying to point out to a homophobe the stupidity of his stance by using his own extreme language is fighting a losing battle ..... some people wouldn't recognise irony if it smacked them in the face.

Hey moose, chill out. Sorry, but in light of recent posts in this very forum surely we can be forgiven for maybe thinking you were serious. Please accept my aplogies and I agree with your sentiments entirely hence my original worry.

Cheers,

Fair enough but in this instance a couple of emoticons might've made it a bit clearer.

Do some of you really think that sex between two consenting males or females is on the same level as the rape of a child?

Why should child molestors even enter the thread?

FFS, no wonder there has to be laws to protect minorities.

Not you (or Tel) I'm having a got at - just angry that people are treated differently because of what they may or may not do between the sheets.

A married couple may or may not engage in, let us say, backdoor action. No-one gives a stuff - it's their business etc. Two men do EXACTLY THE SAME THING and suddenly it's so terrible?

Sometimes I feel that there's been no progress in the last century, that attitudes are every bit as diseased as ever they were.

Typical examples: Immigrants ... ooh, they're all evil, out to get your jobs and money. Gays ... they're trying to pervert your children. Government .... they want to give away every bit of heritage to Europe.

(For the avoidance of doubt, there IS ironic content above.)

No worries - we speak exactly the same language. Sorry for the confusion earlier.

Who's comparing being Gay with Child Abuse or saying they are ill ?

If you read my posts you will see that my stance is basically - Gays can do what they want provided they don't seek my approval but Child Molestors should be strung up.

As stated before I really couldn't give a **** what they get up to (Gays) but why should I have to accept their behaviour as normal ?

Convince me

So why mention child molesters at all? What possible connection can you see between child abuse and one's sexuality?

NONE - The connection is between the opinions I have on both of them and the point is that I am entitled to have my opinion just as much as a Gay person is entitled to be Gay - But a Child Molestor has no rights - In My Opinion !

I wasn't comparing them !

The point I'm trying to make to the Tree huggers etc. is that You can Live and Let live but it has to work both ways. I can accept that Gays can do what they want but some one here can't accept that I can hold an opinion that what they do is not Normal !

Looks like DBW was right !

I posted something similar to jasey about this on post 20.
I don't like gay men, so what? I'm entitled to not like them or approve of what they do.
I don't like kiddy fiddlers. Would I be demonised for that? I doubt it.
Up until about 35 years ago gay sex was illegal, maybe in another 35 years it might be legal to f*ck kids, I hope not but you never know.
I would still dislike kiddy fiddlers.

I think the point is we can approve/disapprove of who/what we like, nobody has the right to make us like something/somebody.

Although the PC brigade will jump up and down saying how monstrous "normal" people are for not accepting, in our opinion, disgusting behaviour.
F*ck 'em. My life, my beliefs, deal with it.

Hey, take off the rose tinted shades and take a look at the reality of what you promote as 'normal' and 'acceptable'

There are Hetro couples into *******, bestiality, pedo's, bondage, sadomas, swinging etc.

So all hetro couples except this, dont find it disgusting and enjoy it do they?

Most gay people would be straight on the phone to the police if they came across the above activity.

No but some do. Some even post on here (naming no names) are they disgusting devients then? Where does your evidence for :"Most gay people would be straight on the phone to the police" come from? Seems to me that the opposite is the case.

UB - for one thing, i would put money on a significant number of the men observed "cottaging" being married, "respectable" men. might be someone that you work with. might be someone in your family. you'll probably never know who the "disgusting" "abnormal" people really are - so why not stop getting so uptight about it?

My best mate is Gay so I often socialise within the gay community and know loads of gay couples. I know what shocks them, their views and their morals.

Seems to me that the opposite is the case.
From what personal experience other than what you read?

Well, from the evidence on the other post, from what is known to go on in the bushes of Hampstead Heath, Wimbledon Common etc after dark. There's a layby on the A3 near Wisley which is packed out with parked cars at night. Everyone knows they're not stopped there for a picnic.

Oh, and then there was the gay bloke I used to know that slept with wealthy old men for money.... the list goes on.

Anyway I giving up on this topic as there has been far too much politically correct, hypocritical claptrap talked on the subject already.
