    I think Sponge25 is somehow channelling both Phil and Jimmi. Most strange.

    My god; Having a differing view to homosexual community is bigotry now?
    No, having an irrational, unsupportable hateful opinion of a group of people is bigotry.

    My reasoning wasn't that same-sex kids are any worse of than straight kids. All I was saying is that they will have challenges far beyond the ordinary child can comprehend.
    So then if the kids are not worse off, what objection to do you actually have against gay marriage?

    I asked two or three times for people to be a little more polite and try and explain it to me but no one will. I have to keep repeating the same thing over and over again and no one is explaining anything to me.

    PS. Ramming things down my throat and calling me every name under the sun isn't explaining it to me!
    We are calling you a bigot because that's what you are sounding like.

    We've explained several times how your logic is bigoted. We've shown you evidence that shows that your position is wrong, but you dismissed it all as wrong for no other reason than you didn't like what you saw.
    And you are more interested in people calling you a bigot than what we've actually written.

    The confusion would arise when the little boy or girl see's his/her pals with a mammy and a daddy! That has the potential to play on a childs mind.

    Single parent children almost exclusively see their father on the weekend or something. If the father is dead well then, you're arguement hardly applies here. People die, I can't help that!

    I don't think any same sex parents are going to bring thei child up in total ignorance of other family units. Those who grew up in those environments would be better suited to address this but there's a lot to be said for sitting down and explaining things to to a child.

    It applies both ways. A lack of a nurturing mother or a protective father is made no less a lack by the cause of that lack. I know you can't help it, I just disagree with you.

    When you're stranded in a desert without a supply of water use common sense.
    When your boat is sinking use common sense.
    When the vehicle your in is out of control use common sense.
    When you're trapped in a burning building use common sense.
    When you're trying to deactivate a nuclear bomb use common sense.
    When you're experience a tyre blow out use common sense.
    When you find yourself trapped in an underwater cave use common sense.
    When you find yourself trapped on a desert island with a woman who's gone into labour use common sense.

    I'd imagine for all the above you wouldn't have a clue what I mean by common sense and if we were to poll each of the posters here they'd probably all react very differently in each scenario. Common sense, isn't that common. But let's run with what you regard as common sense. You are I presume Irish. Ireland has a population of less than five million people. How many of these people have you met? 1 million? Less? Probably lucky if you met over 200,000 people. The world has over 6 billion people. So, on what basis is your lone experience of a tiny proportion of people's parenting ever going to be enough to say this is the case everywhere. Do you think observing the height of high tide in Salthill is going to tell you the height of high tide in all of Ireland? Never mind the World.

    You see the thing about scientific studies done into gay parenting is that they use statistical techniques to try to ensure (they can never guarantee) that their sample size accurately reflects as best they can the type of population they're trying to model. It's a very tricky detail to cover but most papers won't get published unless they account for it somehow. Referring back to the tide analogy again : these techniques allow us to guess the height of the tides of at various locales around Ireland to various degrees. But what they allows us to predict with a very high degree accuracy is the average height of tide in the country.

    So when you tell me that your common sense tells you something. You're basically asking me to accept your combined total of limited experience which accounts for <1% of the western's world's population over the strenuous studies done by people with expertise in areas from psychology to sociology that do their utmost to accurately reflect the 100%. Or in others words you're trying to get me to accept that the high tide at Salthill is the equivalent of high tide everywhere else in Ireland. I'm sorry, bud but arguing from common sense just ain't going to cut it.

    I'm against gays adopting, garriage and homosexual acts. All should be illegal AFAIC.

    It does make sense. They are two other posters that ignore studies, make appeals to common sense and are, you know, bigots.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    You depend solely on your opinion as evidence and are unwilling to reconsider it. If you think that a group of people in society should have their rights limited but have no legitimate reasons on why. That makes you bigoted plus the generalisations about the dreaded gay community reinforce this. of A good proportion of people posting in this topic are not gay btw, this includes myself. We simply believe that people should be afforded equal rights.

    Thankfully bigoted hateful people, like yourself for example, are in decline and don't have the power to enforce their hate filled unreasonable doctrine on everyone else.

    You time has passed. Welcome to the modern world. You are going to find it a scary place, but it is a better place.

    Don't you mean sodomy? Covers those awful straight people engaging in deviant acts too.

    Yes, sodomy should be illegal. The health service is bursting at the seams as it is without the taxpayer having to deal with the fall-out from bum "sex".

    So anal sex is fine, as long as it's only practiced between heteros? Not really fair, is it.

    Why do you hate and fear gay people so much, or is just gay males?

    As an actor, surely you must have plenty of gay friends and colleagues. Do you hide your secret hatred for them, or do you share your dark side with them?

    In the beginning people were "polite" to you. However as the thread has gone on, its become fairly transparent that you're either a bigot or a wind up merchant. As such, you'll get short shrift here.

    LOL, the only fallout is easily wiped up, after.

    Why does sex scare you so much? Which sexual acts are acceptable, in your narrow little world?

    I hope you don't get banned, I hope we can keep you. You're kinda cute x

    Have you any evidence that such fall out exists to the extent it puts any stress on the health service?

    From all the straight people presumably. The total number of straight people engaging in sodomy is far higher than the total number of gay people engaging in sodomy. To be honest, I think the only answer is to outlaw straight marriage

    I don't mind discussing this and I actually want to but i'd much rather be snuggled up watching tv with my gf than everyone ganging up on me cause I have a different belief.

    Gays live in a twilight area of life and reality is simply too much .A lot of them suffer from torn Anuses and can be seen buying preparations like Vaseline and different balms .They are a disgusting and now they want children and to trash the time tested institution of Marriage .

    Don't worry everybody. We may get small little examples of it but some posters here actually have to live with the kind of nonsensical ****e they post floating around their head all the time.

    As the saying goes. "You're on the wrong side of history and your bull**** will die with you".

    Beats questioning what you believe I suppose.
    Otherwise you might discover that there's a reason people are calling you a bigot.

    Oh, baby, cheer up. These things happen when you discriminate against others, don't you see? Even if you try to disguise your bigotry as some kind of valid belief system...

    Interesting you mentioned your gf. Just putting the record straight, eh? Case we get ideas ;)

    Gosh only knows what you must think of us randy bisexuals :D

    I wasn't talking to you, it was aimed at Actor.

    The mods here are very fair, and I may get an infraction for it, which I'll accept.

    But he's still an idiot and a bigot who sprouts complete horse-shíte with nothing to back it up.

    You, honestly, just seem to be confused about the matter.
    Civil union is not equal to marriage. The children of gay couples are bullied anymore than the child of a straight couple (trust me).
    The only thing different between a homosexual and heterosexual is the sexual attraction and the gender of the person you fall in love with.

    That's it.
