RE: Anti-Gay Concentration Camps

To be quite honest, I believe both the republican and democratic parties are corrupt. The only reason I typically vote republican is because in my mind, they are the "lesser of evils." Before anyone tells me how dumb I am for saying that, let me just say that these are all very subjective issues and that arguments for or against these different beliefs are pointless. That said...

Quote:
Quote:I mean, come on, the two years these kids spend in camp doesn't even change their feelings of homosexuality. Even if you do believe it's your job to correct these kids, wouldn't you find a more effective way of doing it?

No, there are no effective ways of changing one's sexuality. It is not a choice, cannot be changed, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with not being sexually normal. It harms absolutely no one any more than being straight would. We all love equally and can spread the same STDs no matter who we get in bet with (you know, if we have any). Any asshole who tries to change (merely repress) a child's sexuality because his stupid religion shuns it should be put in jail.
Why are you suddenly attacking me? I fired at the aforementioned abusers, not you. And like I said, that's just your opinion; you have nothing to back that belief up besides what actual gays have said, just like I have nothing to back up the belief that homosexuality immoral.

Quote:Rapid brainwashing through severe trauma is the fastest way to change someone's mind. This is the most efficient way.
Exactly my point. This is the most effective way, but it still produces terrible results. Therefore, don't even bother trying!

Quote:Chiming in with claims of homosexuality being wrong is your right, but in this thread it's in very bad taste.
I agree. Actually this is why I didn't say anything until Gandalf spoke up, but I guess now would be a good time to shut up.

I hope we can all see that none of us are abusing anyone. IMO the personal attacks need to stop here, and any arguments that don't pertain to an objective issue need to stop as well.

EDIT: Let me just say one more thing before I leave this thread:

The majority of the internet is "occupied" by people who share the same beliefs as you all. Needless to say I've been in a few "war of words" with people like you guys and I've learned a thing or two about how pointless they are (that is, the arguments, not the people). So here's a few reasons why this argument shouldn't continue:

1. As I said before, these are subjective issues. Anyone can believe anything about these issues and no one can prove them wrong, so why bother wasting time and energy arguing about these things?

2. We can't convince each other of anything. Even if one side "wins" the argument, we are all so grounded in our beliefs that there is no possible way that we will change our minds on anything. So, once again, why even bother arguing?

3. These arguments unnecessarily bitter relations between users. We spend a lot of time arguing, fighting, and bickering over these subjects, and the only substantial result of it all is the bitterness that has now grown between us. Regardless of our base assumptions of the Way Things Work, this is a video game forum, and we can surely find things to talk about without calling each other douchebags and assholes.

Thank you.

EDIT2: I realize I must look really stupid for coming back again, but whenever I get into arguments like these I'm always reminded of Bill Waterson's wonderful Calvin&Hobbes strip that approaches these matters from a very silly perspective. You can see the strip I am referring to here. Hopefully reading that will calm some of you guys down.
