She would disagree with you. We have had this conversation. I love her and support her. She doesn't believe she was born that way, but chose what she liked. So you know how gay people feel? You get to lump them all into one category that supports your simplistic analysis? Who's the biggot?Originally posted by ocean1023:
Legacy305,
Nice time is over. You are obviously an idiot and a bigot. If a woman or man for that matter finds themselves to be sexually aroused by both sexes the term is Bi-sexual moron. And again my point is validated. To put it bluntly your sister found out as she first felt arousal, not a choice, that she could be aroused by both vajajay and a stiff pole. The choice she made was which one to dedicate her life to. That was a choice for sure. But the attraction to women was not you MORON!
Sexual arousal, sexual orientation not chosen in any way shape or form. Hey Legacy please tell me as a child when you decided you liked women over men. Oh, just like me your penis, not your brain picked for you MORON! You and I were NEVER turned on by men. A choice would mean we got turned on by both and chose one. Like the case of your sister.
Bigots have ZERO ability to think rationally!

So before she write off the opinions of those who may be less "formally educated" than some of us, we should really take a step back and understand that we have SEVERAL people on this board, including LoveThugU, who are well-educated and even better educated than many people on the board because of LoveThugU's own experiences.
Education comes in many forms, so we would be prudent to consider the opinions of those who can offer a quality opinion.
Just my honest opinion...."
I have not done it yet so let me thank Thug for his service to our country. But service to a country, a degree from a school like the U is no excuse for rude, name calling, sarcasim, untruthfull remarks Thug says in his post. Go back and read all of his post on this thread alone and report back how all that service and education "offer a quality opinion" as you stated.
I'm still not sure how me and Thug got off on the wrong foot here. But he thinks I'm gay I guess. He takes words that are written and just drives the wheels off what someone says when we all know dam well what one's thinking as they type can come off another way in cyber space. Maybe he's just trying to get under someone's skin?? I guess he, with that degree missed that I stated I am uneducated, but was born blessed with common sense. So excuse the poor grammar Thug. But twist and spin it how you like. Thug says I'm a ditch digger. Gosh, I did'nt know ditch diggers could get in the 35% tax bracket. My degree was from the "school of hard nocks" and I paid every fuking penny of the price.
I think personal opinions on this subject have contaminated the facts that do exist. For the record I never stated I disagree with JV right to voice his concern with a gay man on his team. Owners should have the right not to allow a gay man on the team if they think the bottom line would be jeoperdized. But I will state that all of that should not be that way if the facts are allowed to reach the surface. And uninformed opinions, imo have staggnated this proccess.
I'm done with this one.....I think.
You're right, but were not talking about battle tactics here. If I stepped out onto Paris island and picked up a gun and starting slinging it around at a bunch of marines, I'd expect my stupid self go get shot. I wouldn't be stupid enough to step onto his battlefield and declare myself an enemy combatant. This, however, is my field. I spend all day every day of fall and spring teaching MD, JD, and MBA students how to present and win an argument and then I spend all day of every summer teaching students the 4th amendment at Duke. He's been dumb enough to step onto my field and declare himself my enemy so he better be prepared for me to verbally make a fool of him and let him know what the pecking order on this field is when he says the dumb crap he says about human beings. Ill be the first one to join in on a professional, academic discussion, but when this Neanderthal starts off like he has to prove himself to be heterosexual in every post by saying "abomination" and calling half the posters who disagree with him "queers" he has demonstrated that he deserves zero respect in this discussion.Originally posted by advarkas:

Bring it on, let me know "what the pecking order is". BTW do you know why you spend your time teaching law at your age? Yea, you know. Those that can, do, those that can't, teach......

EXACTLY! Up for sale? Not the point I was making! If he feels the way he does he should tell his son. Nothing is up for sale. My point is with the status of being his dad, it isn't the worlds business to know how his own dad feels about it. Moreover, it is more important that they don't know if it is in opposition to him. His relationship and support of his family is much more important than some gobber on canesport coming between their relationship.Originally posted by theguv:
How hard is it to read CD's post. He's making a distinction between telling his son how he feels and telling the new york times.Originally posted by GILL06:
cdwright40, I understand your point, but I don't think your integrity should be up for sale. Right is Right. I think the father should be commended for what he said. Am I, my brother's keeper? Even if your brother is wrong it is your job to tell him so.Originally posted by cdwright40:
The father comments are his opinion as all of ours are our opinion. Everyone is entitled to them...but he should never be telling the NY Times this. It is more important to support your own kid publicly than express your own feelings. That is just sad. You have to defend your son in public no matter what. Too bad.
Bottomline: Sam has a right to his personal believe, but his own father doesn't believe as he does. I think he is being a real father letting someone he loves know that he is having issues dealing with choices he has made for his life.
And again with the choices? Did you choose to be heterosexual? If so, when did you make that choice? What was that like? Did you weigh the options?

But for what it's worth there it is.
I am not condoning or condemming gay dolphin sex nor do I express any opinion re sex orgies they engage in out of wedlock. So gay sex does exist in animal kingdom. My understanding is chimpanzees do it also. Again, not saying I agree OR disagree but it is a scientific FACT that it happens.

Ocean, so if someone finds homosexuality offensive, they should find a deep hole, jump in and die?
You seem to support gay rights vociferously, but condemn those who feel differently.
Think about this..... if the world had been populated originally by gays, none of us would be here. It still takes that man/women thing to keep the world populated.
Let me show you that I'm omniscient. I'll guess that you're a Democrat, voted for Obama (both times), and support the government's attempt to re-distribute the wealth in this country. You likely also idolize Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the mayor of New York.
Ocean, note that in no instance did I call you, or anyone else, derogatory names. It seems that the ones on your side feel they must attack, viciously, anyone and everyone who doesn't share their feelings.
Political correctness will destroy this country.
A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots by Jeff Foxworthy
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn't be found ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

Swaggah, I'll keep it as civil as possible because I know getting into religious mythology steps on a lot of toes. However, in short, yes the Jewish exodus and every story in the Bible is myth and metaphor. There's absolutely no historical proof outside of religious doctrine that an exodus or enslavement of Jews ever took place in Egypt or at any time in history. The onus is not on me to prove that which has no historical proof did not happen, it's on those who are claiming it did. What kind of logic says one must prove something that there is no proof of not existing? You cry, kick, scratch, and scream like a baby, take your ball, and tell me you don't want to play anymore all you want but it doesn't change the reality of that being a perpetuated lie that you nor anyone else can prove.Originally posted by Swaggah64:
Interesting how you discredit everyone else.You are an expert on Ancient civilizations? Is the Jewish exodus from slavery in Egypyt a myth? II know th parting of the Red Sea by Charlton Heston part is a little over the top but I didnt know until know that the how thing was a sham to make light of slavery in the Americas. Did I get it right? Because you dont have names, dates, and pictures from their iPhones it is created two thousand or more or so years before the Europeans came to the" New World" as a preemptive strike. You are a joke.Originally posted by Azar:
I was waiting on the Jewish enslavement fairytale to surface. Lol. When and where were "Jews" enslaved? And what thousands of years were they enslaved? Give me some dates, place, etc. Were these Jews black white? Please, don't start with the Egypt fairytale because there's absolutely not one bit a proof of a Jewish enslavement at anytime in history especially not in Northeast Africa (i.e. Kemet), now referred to as Egypt. I was waiting on Salt to claim they built the pyramids as well. I'm sure he was referring to the Pyramids of Giza but what about the other 100+ pyramids in Egypt? What about the pyramids in Nubia? Who built them? Did they sculpt the Heremakhet as well? What about the temples and obelisk, them too? The Giza pyramids are 6000 years old and there are some Nubian pyramids older and still standing. The construction of these pyramids and there relation to the cosmos are an architectural wonder yet some of you are still holding on to the slaves built them lie. Smh. This is the problem when you are sold a bill of goods about your history in order to discredit others. You start sounding ridiculous....Originally posted by Caneship:
Blacks being enslaved was wrong... it was a dark day in our history...So was genocide of millions of native Americans... So was the Spanish enslaving the south american Indians... The Jews.

Not worth the time and I could care less about you. I had to take you off ignore just to read your initial response to a mistake I made in a post on another thread that you misinterpreted in the worst way so I then proceded to read your very slanted and biases view of the history of civilization. Much of history sucks, old and new, holocausts, genocides,inquisitions, wars, war crimes, caste systems and on and on.
It seems you have serious anger issues regarding history however it cannot be changed and you can just go forward or let it cripple you. You can control of you own life and make it better for others or you can move forward.
I am glad that Michael Sam did something very brave and it is a shame that so many people are so afraid of homosexuals. They really dont hurt anybody. They are just trying to be happy and make the best life for themselves just like everyone else.
