    Right,
    Not giving an opinion here,
    But,
    Why is it that we are being told that we Must Accept LGBT people?
    Or we Must accept Immigrants,
    Why Must we accept these things?
    Am sick of being told that We Must Accept what we are told!!!
    Anyone else feel this way?

    ( Examples above were just that, Examples only )

    How would you like to demonstrate non-acceptance? It's the method that often causes trouble, not the opinion.

    Soo with you! However, I live with teenagers and they are the most extreme the left wing has to offer...

    Why does it bother you op. There’s no gays riding on your head. Just concentrate on your own stuff.

    As I stated in the original post,
    Those were not my opinion s, simply examples of being told We Must Accept what we are told!!

    Can Anyone explain to us Why must we accept these things?
    Are we no longer permitted to formula our own opinions?
    is individual thought no longer allowed?

    Also Conservatory, " Concentrating on your Own Stuff " is a perfect example of why there is very little sense if Community nowadays!!!

    Good lad, Now say something about snowflakes and feminists and then mention how SJWs are the real bullies and top it all off with a link to a Jordan Peterson video.

    Or maybe if we didn’t exclude people we could have community

    A typically foolish response.
    Look around you Conservatory,
    Would any of these examples be accepted in the Arab world?
    Or under Communism?
    Or under Any civilized society without some looney demanding that we Must accept them?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25 Tis Yourself?


    I would add gypsies to op's list. They are literal parasites who come here to beg and steal.

    Why can't we do something about them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,969 ✭✭✭Assetbacked


    We must accept all people because everyone is different and we need to appreciate this. Groups that label themselves under something like “migrants” and “LGB” are simply seeking to be accepted.

    The principles of treating each other with respect and dignity are applicable regardless of what label a particular group give themselves.

    The community probably doesn't want to exclude gays and immigrants in order to accept you. That is why you feel little sense of community.

    And thank God we don't live in any of these places.

    The reason we should accept them is because they exist. It's like asking why should you accept water or why should you accept that the sun shines?

    The reason is that those things exist, so you should except them and find better things to be worrying about in your life, like getting a hobby!

    I don't really give a second thought about these groups of people.
    They don't really bother me.

    But I think if someone doesn't approve of them or think it's wrong, I respect you and you've a right to say you don't like them.

    I can't stand lefties or liberals they're evil personified in my book, always fighting....the femminism movement don't get me started.

    How the hell can someone be liberal if they can't accept someone who's not liberal.

    Shower of nutters lol

    So do murderes and paedophiles.

    Through your logic we should accept them too??

    Do you think if you refuse to "accept" them they will cease to exist?

    By yours are you saying we should lock up the LGBT?
    (or give them suspended sentences :P)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry

    No because they're murderers and paedophiles.

    If you are genuinely unable to see any distinction there, then you should seek help.

    They will still exist. We should accept that these people are criminals and they should be punished for their crimes.

    But LGBTQ+ people are not criminals by definition. They should be accepted like you'd accept someone were they not LGBTQ+

    I’m just using the logic of the we should accept everyone no matter what because they exist.

    Bit of a mad broad statement to make.

    Ok I’ll seek help so.

    Jesus do you liberal nut jobs stop at anything to look good?

    I never even said anything of the sort about not seen the difference, but I better go get help.

    I dunno.

    So you can't see the difference between accepting a gay person and not accepting a murderer?
    And it's our fault?

    Bit of a mad broad statement to make.

    Comparing LQBTQ+ people to murderers and paedophiles is a bit of a weird statement to make but you went ahead and did it anyway.

    You have to accept that LGBTQ+ people exist because they're going to exist whether you like it or not.

    It would be great if vegans,lgbt and electric car owners would stop forcing their views on people

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins

    What do you suggest we do? What do you propose as the opposite to "accepting"? What are the real world actions of what you're saying?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    But Why???

    Let's be honest here dude, the only reason why anyone would be so "against" gay people that they would be starting an internet thread about them would be that they are secretly afraid they're one themselves.

    If you wanna repress that stuff, that's up to you. But don't be dragging the rest of us into it

    Right,
    Not giving an opinion here,
    But,
    Why is it that we are being told that we Must Accept LGBT people? It's your choice!
    Or we Must accept Immigrants, The EU/Government are trying to make you feel this way.. but it's still your choice..
    Why Must we accept these things? You don't
    Am sick of being told that We Must Accept what we are told!!! Start a community of like minded people to fight back.
    Anyone else feel this way? Me, nope.

    ( Examples above were just that, Examples only )

    answers above.

    I stated at the first post these were not my opinions.
    My objection is to having someone who has most likely never had to survive on the Social, or minimum wage demanding that we Must Accept what They Tell us we Must Accept.

    Why must I accept as person being member of a seperatist society like the LGBT community instead of accepting them as simply another person?
    Why must the minority societies force Their labels on us?
    Do we have National Straight Couples day?


    My point being Why do we have to have the Labels and boundaries forced on us?

    I don't know what this means
    Why must I accept as person being member of a seperatist society like the LGBT community instead of accepting them as simply another person?

    Firstly, there is no separatist society.
    Secondly, there's your answer. Accept them as just another person.

    Just like yo would if someone was wearing a Liverpool shirt. Would you treat them as "Football fans"? Or "Liverpool lovers"? Nope. Just regular people who like football.

    Why must the minority societies force Their labels on us?

    They don't. Nobody is labelling you anything.
    Do we have National Straight Couples day?

    Yup. It's every day.
    My point being Why do we have to have the Labels and boundaries forced on us?

    They're not. Again, in the same way that someone wearing a Liverpool shirt isn't forcing anything on me. He's just a dude with a Liverpool shirt on.
