Homophobia 'more common than racism'

[Clint]

I am not saying that he isn't arrogant, but childish name calling and giving people bad rep is not making you look very good. This thread you brought up, I am only assuming,to speak up for the people in this world that get knocked down by others.....so to do it yourself slightly makes you a hypocrite that has no business talking about this subject.

I really hate to debate, and this is one of the reasons. Somebody always bitches at me about something as ridiculous as calling somebody who literally is arrogant, arrogant. It's none of your business whatsoever what I say to somebody else, so butt out of things that don't apply to you. I didn't post to "speak up for the people in this world that get knocked down," I merely posted to speak up about why I think that homophobia is more common than racism, which is exactly what I did, before people began complaining at me.

Well, to be technical this is posted in the "general chat" thread; not the "intellectual discussion" so we are technically allowed to "chat" about this. And if you are brave enough to post your opinion have the courage to stand up for it. Otherwise I will leave this thread just thinking you are uneducated. Like so many others on here that do nothing more but start fights they themselves can't handle.

It isn't uneducated to turn down all the assholes that antagonize you until you're forced into an argument. Now I'm not getting into an argument with you, because quite frankly, I don't like your attitude. So bite me.

I read, but I try not to pay too much attention to uneducated shots in the dark about a wide range of people. There is never just one reason to hate someone. There is never one explanation for a brand of racism or homophobia to occur.

If you don't agree, then make up your own opinion, instead of challenging mine. Simple enough, right?

I am sure you expect bad rep now, but I like to take the high road. So I will leave you to your childish arguing and stamping your feet because not everyone loves your opinions.

No, not everybody loves my opinions, but considering the amount of positive rep that I got for posting that comment, a lot of people do.

If you post something like that for everybody to see; how can you not expect a bit of backlash for it? It's naive to think you can just call someone a name, and not be questioned about. I am not going to say I am sorry for sticking up for another human being.

Complaining about you or simply disagreeing?

Nice to see the people here still love posting their opinions based on incorrect/unfounded information.

I don't ever force anyone into argument. I encourage them to think before they post something that has no foundation.

IF it is true (Homophobia being bigger than racism). I would not think too much of it. People have their own opinions and beliefs. We can't all expect to be liked in a world with so many different cultures and belief systems. Some girls give me dirty looks because I am a bit more confident, African Americans don't like me because I am white, Ex-boyfriends don't like me because I kicked their lame butt to the curb,Customers don't like me because I gave them a scoop of something they didn't like. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. It's a part of life, and we all have to deal with it.

Now; if the rate of violence toward gays was proven to be getting higher then that amongst other races I would find that disgusting. It's bad enough to hear about blacks being dragged behind trucks by their throat, or Jewish synagogues being bombed, than to know that a whole other storm is fast approaching. I don't believe violence is the answer to any problem. Especially if its because of someone's choice in life. (That statement does not apply to murderers,rapists,or any other severe offender)

No, not everybody loves my opinions, but considering the amount of positive rep that I got for posting that comment, a lot of people do.

Now who is a bit arrogant? LMAO So Sorry I didn't give you a cookie for having an opinion. If that means I am being a big meany head (he he) than so be it.

If he thinks that I'm offensive and wants to stand up for himself, then he has all the right to call me out, which he actually already did, so butt out already.

No, not complaining about me, complaining at me. If you were complaining about me, I wouldn't be involved in this conversation.

It's nice to see that people still think that you need founded information to have an opinion.

You're an antagonist, plain and simple. I thought about my opinion before I posted it, as well as thought about it as I was typing it up, and then I posted it. So if you want me to do more thinking of something that I already though about, then what you're really asking is for me to repeat myself, right?

There you go, my friend. Now no more complaining at me, right? You have your opinion, and I have mine, so let's leave it at that.

Hey, don't be mad at me because of something you brought up. As for your opinion, have a cookie.
