[quote:DaySweeper:MV84NDM4ODNfMjIyODc0MTlfNjM3REYzNzQ=] [quote:BOWMAN] [quote:DaySweeper] [quote:BOWMAN] [quote:DaySweeper] For example, a pair of girls were making out [u]intensely[/u] in a public family friendly restaurant. They were right in the centre of the place at the bar and going at it for a long long time. The owner asked them to stop, as she would any couple homosexual or not, and their response was to start a facebook group, slander her as a "homophobe who kicked us out" and start a riot that went right up to the door of her business. This is a typical response. Their best defense is calling people "homophobes", "you fear my sexuality". They speak in fear, and they are from my own experience mostly unforgiving people. [/quote] So you're saying that if homosexuals were accepted in society than they wouldn't be acting out in such defensive an militant ways? ------ [/quote] No. Not even close to waht I am saying. It is inappropriate to make out heavily like they were in a family restaurant whether you are an alien with a man or a man with a woman. Gender is not the issue here, but I can see where you mind is stuck now. These people are not victims. They make themselves victims just as these girls tried to do. They don't act out because people oppose their lifestyle, they act out because their hearts are damaged and they are not getting the love they need. The girls in this instance said themselves in the interview that "we had never encountered anti-homosexual sentiments in this town before, it is very friendly to us." These people are just sick, why do you defend such destructive behaviour. They have turned against love. You can go down with them by sticking your nose in their business and defending it cus they complain a lot and appear to be victimized. They are just losers. [/quote] Well I'm not defending anyone, it's just that I don't find the threatening nature in it like you do. I mean who am I to say who could love who? I don't have THAT kind of authority. ----- [/quote] There it is! You judge me and assume I am threatened by them. Did you not read what I said cus this is exactly what I am describing. I'm not even saying I dislike homosexuals! I am saying I see cowardice in them, and I have known many and watched them bloom into homosexuals. You're doing exactly what they do, painting the world in fear because that is what they see. If I was threatened I wouldn't have homosexuals friends all throughout my life! [/quote]

"What are the marks of a sick culture?"
. . . abridged (by Bob God) from
Friday
by Robert A. Heinlein:
I took these quotes from one of my favorite Heinlein novels,
Friday
. They are all from a conversation between the main character and her "Boss." That conversation began with Friday's Boss asking her, "What are the marks of a sick culture?"
"It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population."
"A very bad sign. Particularism. It was once considered a Spanish vice but any country can fall sick with it. Dominance of males over females seems to be one of the symptoms."
"Before a revolution can take place, the population must loose faith in both the police and the courts."
Personal rudeness.
... and the number one symptom that we're living in a Sick Culture is -
Bad manners.
That ought to narrow it down for you!
