Microsoft Supports Gay Rights Legislation

[KoS.Rebel]

to answer your question about my religion, i am Catholic. to retort against the arguement that im a nazi, that is a baised look at how I feel. Nazi's were against other people that were perfectly straight and killed them over religion, not sexuality, therefore they are two completely different topics.

[Croosch]

two topics... same sort of thought

[BFG]

um by the way it wasn't just about religion. I know that most people only learn about the Jews and how the Nazi party used them basically as an escape goat, as a channel for everything that was wrong with germany at that time etc, but what a lot of people miss out looking at the Holocaust are the thousands and thousands of Gypsys, homeless, mentally ill, and gay people that were also murdered.

However i specifically didn't get into all that nazi stuff. but the question still stands, do you value the reproduction of our race above all else, and actually if i could get you to answer just one question

You said that a gay person couldn't reproduce and therefore was a waste of a human. But as i pointed out it is a matter of choice and not any biological difference. Im assuming then that you feel that anyone who chooses not to reproduce is a waste of a human... Therefore as a Catholic how do you feel about priets who follow a life of chastity, surely following your logic then the servants of your faith , to put it in your words, do not "serve a purpose on the planet"

Can you see what im getting at? The statement you made which i assume you came to because of your faith, actually undermines your faith.... and that is just the start of it!

O Rebel...you should know better.
Check on your facts, Check your facts, check your facts.
Now...you are completely entitled to your opinion, BUT.....

You are 100% DEAD WRONG about the Nazis and Gays. Therefor the comparison to your opinion is valid.
If thats unsettling to you that your views are so similar, it should be.
Gays were killed SPECIFICALLY for their sexuality...it was not necesarry to be jewish to end up on the truck.  These were the "Pink Triangle" prisoners btw. Oops...You stepped in one there...

"""In every camp in which he served — Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Auschwitz, and Ravensbruck — Hoess says there were "many" homosexuals. It is very clear from his account that homosexuals constituted a significant proportion of the inmates: his comments imply that there were nearly as many homosexuals in Dachau as there were Jews, which would have been about 12% of the prison population in 1936. This does not include those homosexuals who arrived at the camps by train and proceeded directly into the gas chambers, nor does it include the SS gay men who were brought to the camps and "shot while attempting to escape."

The death toll for all inmates was 8 million. It is impossible to estimate how many of them were homosexuals. But Hoess, according to his own estimate, personally supervised the extermination of 2,000,000 homosexuals, Jews, Gipsies, communists, and Russian soldiers: this would imply that he alone could have killed at least 15,000 homosexuals, the figure often cited for the total number of homosexuals killed in the concentration camps. Concentration camp records were systematically destroyed by the Nazis, and surviving records are sparse and incomplete, so there are no really reliable figures for how many men were dealt with under Hitler's "final solution" to "the homosexual problem". The estimate ranges from 430,000 (which is probably too high) to 10,000 (which is probably too low).

Detailed statistical analysis of surviving records indicates that homosexual prisoners were systematically placed in the hardest work commandos (notably the gravel pits at Dachau and the brick works where all of the homosexual inmates of Sachsenhausen worked); that the death rate for homosexuals was 50 percent higher than for political prisoners; that they received more brutal and more frequent extra punishments than the other prisoners; and that they formed the highest percentage of prisoners who were "transported" (the Nazi euphemism for transfer to the gas chambers). One survivor of Dachau reported: "The inmates with the pink triangles never lived long, they were exterminated by the SS with systematic swiftness."

By all accounts, hardly any of the homosexual inmates of the concentration camps survived. The pink triangles were spurned by all other groups in the concentration camps, and most non-gay survivors even today refuse to acknowledge the existence of their fellow gay prisoners. After the war, homosexuals were denied the reparations given by the German government to other groups, because they were still classified as criminals under German law. They were even denied state pensions to compensate for the amount of time spent in the concentration camps. They could be re-imprisoned for "repeat offences," and were kept on the modern lists of "sex offenders." The humane institutions of every country have condemned the treatment of all of the victims — except for homosexuals. On annual days of mourning for the victims, few countries officially mourn for homosexuals. To the survivor's comment that "one day they were simply gone" we might add "and today are all but forgotten.""""""

And secondly, Being Catholic, answer this....since Catholic priests do not reproduce, are they useless humans as well?   Ok OK, youre being jumped on a bit..but then again, you posted a rather acidic opinion on the issues, opening yourself up to it.

To answer the question of if im joking, im not. I dont believe gay people serve a purpose on the planet. The purpose of the human is to live, do something to benefit mankind, reproduce, and die. Then the cycle continues. Gay people cannot reproduce, therefore they are a waste of human. If you feel differently then so be it, but my views will never change.

What about impotent straight men? Barren straight women? And priests? Those fuckers don't reproduce -- they are not part of God's plan.

"but my views will never change"

That's because you're too afraid to let yourself learn anything.

Damn it, every one else already nailed him to the wall.

 

[DarK.]

Damn sheix you beat me to telling him that the nazi's killed the gays because they were gay (they also killed gypsies too rebel, so Im sure you have something against gypsies?)

Gays should have everyright though, we were all created by one god who supposedly loves us (or in rebels case just creates things he hates (gays))

So why cant we just all get along, in the meantime rebel, BFG and Brutha will put on a sex show for you whiles shade tapes it and I promote it, its th MoD sex fest! also starring the BIG FREAKING GIANT!

[Brutha]

christ...what did you eat???

[KoS.Rebel]

Sigh...i now remember why i stopped posting on here

[crypt]

You have to like something about it to keep coming back.

[(SiX)Sheixhundt]

Why? Is it inconvenient to have people call you out to explain your fucked up facts, and seemingly self-contradicting opinions? My guess is that you were baiting, so why complain that You got what you asked for?

"""Sigh, I now remember why I stopped posting here""" <<<---Can you dodge the debate any harder than this after throwing your gas on the fire?

And don't complain, you just got debated about the worth of a certain population, and questioned on the implications of some things you said...(ie...using your own logic, are priests worthless humans?...)
Lets hear your side, unless you just popped in to be a shithead.

[DarK.]

Get em' sheix... hehe you tell him!

["Sixhits"]

"The extent of one's abilities is only limited by the restrictions of one's mind"

...



That's your quote, Rebel?

[BFG]

Sigh...i now remember why i stopped posting on here

THATS IT? "I talk complete bullshit and i can't back anything that i say up so i better not say anything"?

What did you expect? That nobody was going to complain about a kid saying that he didn't belive that gay rights should exist, or even worse that he thought people who didn't have children were a waste of a human?  You didn't think perhaps that might just annoy one or two people here?

You made a statment, several of us questioned it and then pointed out to you that your statment actually undermined the reason you made that statement.

If you can't respond intelligently to making such absurd disgusting claims (yes i think your lack of appreciation for human life is pretty disgusting) then your right, don't post.

god damn that has really pissed me off.

[spike]

Except thats a completely different issue GS, our stances on abortion dont change that fact that Rebel is a bigot and a homophobe.

[.vooDoo.]

Topic falling off track.....get er back please.

[Spetsnaz666]

People are fucking people, and they cant help how they are fucking born.

So for all of you with homophobia, (Rebel) maby you need to do some deep introspection and come to terms with your own homosexuality, becuase the only reason men are hostile towards homos is because they themselves cannot deal with their true deep seeded identity. So don't be afraid to be gay Rebel its ok we won't make fun of you.

PS i cant log into my own account because im at a hospital in godforsaken Gainesville Florida.
