View Full Version : Homotopia 2.0

AIDS, in America, is a preventable disease. We have to spend millions of dollars more a year on idiots who should've known better. Money that could be spent combating AIDS in Africa, instead.

So, I have a couple of modest proposals:
1) Make intentionally transmitting HIV a capital offense.
2) Offer HIV positive persons medication to suppress sexual urges

Now that the thread is sufficiently big, just talk about these two things :p

Find yourself a picture of two men having sex.

Attempt to rub one out. If it works then either being gay is a choice or you are on fact gay.

If it doesn't then you may have discovered its not a choice.

I don't see how homosexual acts, if properly practiced, are any more harmful than heterosexual acts. I would say the denial of natural sexual urges and widespread anti-homosexual attitude throughout society would be much worse.

Even if they are improperly practiced and therefore harmful, it's the individual's choice to do that. We don't force homosexual men to wear condoms while having anal sex; we don't force them not to.

Right. Well you need to understand the religious argument is not that homosexual acts are primarily negative to society, they are self-destructive to the individual. They use scientific evidence, as well as psychological insight, to show that homosexual behavior is destructive to the individual. It is silly to say homosexuality somehow is destructive to society, because there isn't really any clear evidence that homosexuals are more destructive than any other group of people. Rather, religious people (at least, intelligent ones) claim homosexuality is destructive to the individual and therefore is not right from a purely ethical point of view.

I am not defending the argument, just curious what people's take on it would be.

Religious people who denounce homosexuality are basically your average bigotted morans who think they have "valid" justification for being a bigot. When in reality they really dont. There is nothing self detrimental about leading a "gay lifestyle" whatever that is, if there were then the people leading this lifestyle would omit to embrace the apparent negative aspects of the lifestyle.

I truly think Zero lacks the wisdom and understanding to ever accuratly argue this kind of thing.

Zero, think of making out with a man. A very sexy man. Revolting isn't it?

Now, imagine making out with a woman. A very hot woman. Imagine that being revolting.

Now, if you finally got the chance to make out with a hot woman, and found the act revolting and unarousing, how would you react to it?

If your brain saw men as attractive, and no matter how hard you tried to find women attractive but couldn't, would you deprive yourself any chance of love, companionship and joy simply because you couldn't enjoy the act with a woman?

I think you can be very ignorant at times, and this is one of them. AIDS should never be considering anything more then the disease it is. If Reagan wasn't such an idiot, we could have prevented a lot of good people dying from it. But, as long as morons like you think the people dying from it are somehow receiving their just rewards from their behavior, we'll keep dying from it as a whole people, not just junkies and homos.

Even if it is (which I don't see how it can be) it's irrelevant. Why should people not be able to engage in self-destruction behaviour that doesn't harm anybody else?

Not that I think it's harmful at all to the self. If anything, removing the social stigma attached to homosexuality is healthy, because it allows expression as opposed to denial of natural sexual urges. Keeping them bottled up won't help.

WHY DOES IT MATTER IF A TINY MINORITY OF THE POPULATION ARE NOT IN HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS? IT'S NOT AS IF THE CONTINUATION OF THE HUMAN RACE IS ENDANGERED

After a little research it seems roughly .3% of Americans are living with HIV/AIDS. This is about 900,000 people, with the number suffering from AIDS itself being a few hundred thousand less. It's estimated a quarter of these people do not know they suffer yet.

I haven't found anything on how much we spend domestically versus in Africa. But it should be noted that 70% of the world's HIV/AIDS cases come from Africa, and 95% arise in developing countries around the world. I can't imagine we're spending a significant portion of money that would help any more were it put elsewhere with what we are contributing there already.

Lies. I used to post on a different serious forum, and someone posted this:
"If gay marriage is legalise, there will be more and more gays around due to the heavy influence. The human population will decrease till it extinct."

^^ Man that guy nailed it, I was wrong their is a huge danger to society.

If being gay is a choice couldn't we just "choose" to be straight once it seemed like it had become a threat to society. Or merely pro-create for procreations sake but be gay for enjoyment.

I resent how everyone is defending gays but still refering to the homosexual "lifetstyle". WE ARE NOT ****ING LIFESTYLISTS GOD DAMNIT! Saying there's a gay lifestyle is like saying there's a straight lifestyle. Admittedly, there are some fags who make homosexuality their lifestyle, and frankly, I don't associate with them, they piss me off no end. When you dress and act in a manly but feminine way (ie. camp), you've lost a lot of my respect.

This thread title is homophobic. The fact that there are infinitely more practising gays in the USA and Europe than there are in Africa, and yet the epidemic is mostly in Africa, shows that Zero's assumptions (and that's all they were folks) are bollocks.

The Catholic Church says that any sexual act other than procreation is pursuit of an unnatural vice and sinful.

Doh :( Hey I'm not a Catholic, so I'm not fully up to date on that stuff.

AIDS spreads much easier through gay male sexual practices.

It's just about what's best.


I was under the impression you thought the needed counselling for it


No, I'm not saying the government should force anyone to do anything. Well, beyond forcing sex offenders to have treatment. But for homosexuals, I think the government should encourage and establish optional programs to help them live healthy, normal lives.

Not in itself. It is one of the supporting verses to the doctrine of papal infallibility.
The point I was trying to make was that Jesus' words in the bible, something Zero listens to with great enthusiasm, would make him unable to have nonproductive sex. If the Pope still believes sex should only serve reproductive purposes, then to have it for pure enjoyment is a sin, regardless of his denomination, right? But are there any verses in the Bible that limit this... power? I mean, could the Pope declare God dead?

Basically, I'm trying to make Zero suffer for adhering to such silly principles.

Admittedly, there are some fags who make homosexuality their lifestyle, and frankly, I don't associate with them, they piss me off no end. When you dress and act in a manly but feminine way (ie. camp), you've lost a lot of my respect.
Why? Is it so wrong for them to dress the way they want, and act the way they are (I assume) inclined to act? How do you feel about drag queens?

He could, but in doing so he'd make his authority obsolete. In the same way that if an American government overruled the Constipation their authority would become nil (though they'd still have all that cash and guns).

Why? Is it so wrong for them to dress the way they want, and act the way they are (I assume) inclined to act? How do you feel about drag queens?

I'm not gonna go around putting happy campers in ghettos, I just find it extremely irritating and somewhat sexist. Here's why:

It's irritating because it creates a whole lifestyle around one preference, worse still one sexual preference. This closes down a lot of options of alternaty for the camp dude, and the role he puts himself in tends to affect those around him in a bad way (in the same way that a person victimising themselves will attract anger from those around them, or a person acting in a bullying manner will cause others around him to react as victims).

It's sexist because every single camper I've met relates femininity to physical weakness, vanity, melodrama, self-victimisation ("Why doesn't he CALL ME?!:("), etc.

I have no problem with drag queens, nor with transvestites (I've been known to meddle in skirts and tight shirts myself), because that is something utterly gender-subversive and not at all a lifestyle. Trust me, no drag queen walks around in costume on a daily basis.

My teacher is a lesbian, and has a six year old son. Today he was in our class playing with power rangers, and eating candy. I have talked to/played with this kid many times before because he goes to the elementary section of our school, and he is just like my 8 year old brother, except he understands tolerance unlike you.

I would never discourage gay/lesbian parenting unless they were shoving dildoes in the kids face.

Actually the Jewish God says it in the Old Testament and it is restated in the New Testament.

The rules of religion should be challenged every once and a while. God made some rules to protect people from things that could they could not be protected by with modern technology. I've heard that this applies to homosexuality, because the Jews had a dangerously small population, that also explains the no-jacking-off rule, wastes sperm.
