Your Greatest Wish?

[SanFranciscoGiants]

That everyone in the world from then on could live an extremely happy life.

[moose585]

id wish for complete happyness, not having to worry about anything, having a wife and children that loved me and having a job that i loved :3>

[Anesthesia]

despite scientific evidence.

 

 

 

Show us this evidence then.

 

 

 

I don't have an opinion on which it is, but I don't like it when people claim things like that without showing proof.

[00 Quanta]

I wish 9/11 never occured

[thejollyroger]

then you know that it is close to impossible to not act upon homosexual preferences.

 

 

 

Well, you know what, I find that to be incredibly offensive.

 

 

 

This is my wish:

 

 

 

That presentations of the gay community were no longer sanitized or filtered. All of the life should be shown- the ghettos, the emotional hunger, the seedy side of 'the hunt' as I call it, the infidelity, and so forth. The obsession with youthfulness and good looks. The father hunger that echoes in every 'Boy' and every 'Dad'.

 

 

 

I have been there. Right there. And I chose to walk away. Don't tell me it's impossible, because it's really not.

 

 

 

It is a long and often lonely road. Many gay individuals have denounced myself and others sojourning with me as traitorous and homophobic. We are neither. For us, we found the lifestyle lacking for us, and that it was not what we wanted.

 

 

 

On the other hand, it is difficult to remain comfortable in religious settings. Although some of us may have abandoned mainstream religion at some time, yes, many of us decided to go back. We face the fear of congregations. Beneath the anger and perhaps even hatred, there is fear... for it is the root of such emotions. They are afraid for their children. They are afraid for themselves. We would that they did not perceive us as a threat.

 

 

 

I find it saddening when 'induced homosexuality' and 'bisexuality' are used to explain away our little successes. It is a total invalidation of all we have suffered, and struggled and fought for.

 

 

 

My wife used to work for a volunteer organization that provided services to HIV+ individuals, including those dying with AIDS-related complications. She has been well trained in this area. It remains a primary focus of the community, regardless of where the disease started or whom it currently affects. The virus is spread by transmission of bodily fluids and blood, particularly the latter. The fact that certain behaviors are high risk is indisputable.

 

 

 

I have no problem with those who are genuinely happy. But we made our decision, too, and we would ask that our decision be respected.

[Freesia]

I wished my family and I had a chance to went overseas to somewhere far, possibly new zealand. It has been 10 years already since I went overseas :pray:

[bacab]

Wow, thanks XplsvBam. You totally blew my wish out of proportion and ignited a flame war.

 

 

 

My wish was just simple, just acceptance. So you decided to tear me down for that? You can't accept acceptance? You can't even tolerate it? You know, back when I wrote that initial post I didn't know much about homophobia. Until you posted. And recent events in my life.

 

 

 

All I want is to lead a normal life. I want to walk down the street, holding hands with my boyfriend, without some homophobic slur. Or being asked if we lost a bet and that's why we're holding hands. Or being told that we're going to burn in hell praise jesus amen(Judge not lest ye be judged btw). Or being mocked with "aw how sweet" or some other sarcasticly said remark. Or what have you.

 

 

 

So, XplsvBam, how would you feel if people you didn't even know mocked you openly and repeatedly for loving the person you love? How would that make you feel to be called "unnatural" and an "aberration"? How would you feel to be treated the way I'm treated by people like you? Stop and think about what you're doing sometimes, think about how it may make the other person feel. We're all human beings, whether you like it or not, with real human feelings.

 

 

 

We laugh. We cry. We hurt. We heal. We rage. We love. We think. We breath. We eat. We drink. We walk. We talk.

 

 

 

WE ARE!

 

 

 

I'm here. I'm queer. Get used to it.

[himy_name_is]

 

Don't insult people just because they have a different opinion to you. AIDS was started amongst homosexual men, it is a fact. They caused it so what's with all this defence of them? :roll:

 

 

 

Your kidding right? WOW.... wow, thats all I have to say..

 

Aids was started by some bats, then got passed to pigs, then the pigs were eaten by humans who then got it. In Africa which could be the reason like everyone there has it. It was spread by people going there, doing something like doing someone ( :? ) then going to another country and spreading it there.

 

 

 

Could have been spread by anyone!

 

 

 

Actually, maybe that bat->pig->human thing was for eboli lol. I saw that stupid movie with the monkey, that guy spread it like nuts! I liked the monkey though :).

I'm here. I'm queer. Get used to it.

We have more in commen then you think. I don't approve of your choices and you don't approve of me telling you I don't approve. How are we any different? I try not to be judging, I'm rather more sympathetic. I am seriously sorry of your choices. I know my disproval means nothing to you because if it did mean something to you you would be trying to tell me how being a homosexual is ok.

 

 

 

I don't hate you, I have no reason too. I don't even know you. I can't think of anyone I do know that I hate homosexual or hetersexual. But I'm againts friends when they steal, so why can't I disaprove of homosexuality?

 

 

 

A person who steals makes a lifestyle choice.

 

A person who is attracted to the same sex makes a lifestyle choice.

 

 

 

Some people are born with criminal minds, but how come when they steal they are punished for stealing? A crime is a crime period.

 

 

 

Obviously people shouldn't be judged for being homosexual but its hard sometimes. Religiously I believe its God's job to judge, I'm not asking you to believe what I believe. I just wish you would make better lifestyle choice, as I wish of every human being including my self.

[Viktorkrum77]

A person who is attracted to the same sex makes a lifestyle choice.

 

 

 

And you see this as negative? Regardless of what you say, you are implying that, otherwise your position would be pointless.

 

 

 

I want you to do something then. I want you to pretend to be homosexual, and I want you to think about how hard it is. Then you can go judging homoseuxals of making a lifestyle choice.

[nicrune007]

You cannot mask your judgemental idealogy with "sympathy". We see through you. We know the Great Christian Trickery of "sympathy". By sympathy, you really mean that you're sorry they don't believe the exact same thing you do, and you're sorry that they're going to Hell for it. We see through your deceptiveness. We all see it except Christians. They find it logical to spew their brain-washed "sympathy" BS. It isn't sympathy, it's friggin' hatred. Hatred that they don't follow you. You just can't up and say "I hate his choices, he's going to Hell!" because we'd call you out on judging in the place of God. You know it, don't even respond with some witty retort because we already know what you're going to say.

 

 

 

*Shrug* I just hope you realize that God see's through the mask of deceit, assuming he exsists. You can lie to yourself and you can lie to us, but you can't lie to him. At least those crazy baptist chruch people admit they hate gay people instead of just masknig hatred with "sympathy". Need I remind you that you have this same sympathy for, oh, say...Jews? Pagans? Any religion that doesn't worship Jesus, infact? Yea, didn't think I'd need to remind you. Your public speakers remind you daily when they say they feel sorry for these people.

 

 

 

The only people you should feel sorry for is yourself. You're a horrible, horrible person if you can look at yourself in the mirror with a smile after telling a gay person (or a Jew for that matter) that you feel sorry for them. Guess where Jesus-boy isn't going when he dies? *Giggle*.

 

 

 

These people should feel sorry for you.

 

 

 

Edit: Oh, and stop comparing homosexuals to criminals, you dolt. That's the second time I've seen you do it. First it was serial killers, now it's theifs? Homosexuals commit no crimes. THAT'S why they're not in jail, a-dur-dur-dur.

[Kiriyama]

I'll wish for infinite wishes. Then I'll wish for me to not die and wish for a money tree that gives $10 tillron per week. I'll end povety and be happy. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

Ditto. :mrgreen: :XD:

[Domitian]

When I was about 7 years old I saw a shooting star for the first time outside an hotel entrance in Southern England. An elderly lady approached me and said "That's a shooting star, if you make a wish and do not tell anyone what it is it will come true".

 

 

 

I did make a wish but I was unable to restrain myself from telling anyone. I eventually told my best friend at High School when I was 15 after talking about wishes and if they really did come true.

 

 

 

My first and only wish thus far was to be a millionaire.

 

 

 

Not the greatest of wishes but when I was that age all I really wanted was to have alot of money to buy the things I wanted.

[Anesthesia]

I'll wish for infinite wishes. Then I'll wish for me to not die and wish for a money tree that gives $10 tillron per week. I'll end povety and be happy. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

Except of course money only has relative value; not absolute. That means that once most people have $1,000,000,000, the ones with only $1,000,000 will be poor. Money will become virtually worthless.

[Guest XplsvBam]

You have more touche's then a french fencer... So you are saying I'm going to hell for being sorry for someone. But then you go to say you are sorry for me. Wow...

 

 

 

You fail to see any of my arguement. I have been making these comparisons soley to show that its a lifestyle choice. Being homosexual dosn't make you a criminal. You are guilty of a wrong decision regardless.

 

 

 

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

 

 

 

a-dur-dur-dur.

 

 

 

Now if a child gets in trouble for lets say stealing a piece of candy, he never was told this was wrong. He is caught and is punished. Is this right?

 

 

 

a-dur-dur-dur. How else is he going to learn its wrong?

 

 

 

So even if a homosexual convinces him/herself that what they are doing isn't wrong, is it still wrong?

 

 

 

a-dur-dur-dur.

 

 

 

You can disagree with me that homosexuality isn't wrong, but you aren't about to tell me there is no wrong in this world just because you are born a certain way. A theif is a theif, a homosexual is a homosexual. period.

 

 

 

Now onto free will, so you have never made a decision? Its impossible to decide if you want orange juice or apple juice? Just because my preference is orange juice dosn't mean I don't choose to drink apple juice sometimes. I prefer 8 hours of sleep but because of lifestyle choices I may get more or less.

 

 

 

Don't worry I wont post anymore, you have the comprehension of a 2 year old.

 

 

 

But to the "perfect wish" by becab. Acceptance includes accepting the bad. That means every thing bad is accepted. So now you have to ask your self, "is homosexuality good or bad?"

I never once said I feel sorry for you. I said you should feel sorry for YOURSELF, not others. I don't feel sorry for you at all...I think you're an idiot and that isn't my fault. I don't pity you. I don't try to change you.

 

 

 

I have the comprehension of a 2 year old? Ah, really...You have the argument of a 2 year old, so touche', I guess. Your argument is that because YOU believe it is wrong, that it is wrong, period. Too bad life doesn't work that way! There are people that believe killing others is right, but that doesn't make it so.

 

 

 

Without using the Bible, prove to me that being a homosexual is wrong. I say without the Bible, because in life, the Bible means NOTHING. It could be a bunch of writings made by man, or it could be God's words. Noone knows, and as such, you can't use the Bible in the argument that it's wrong. Homosexuality has NOTHING to do with how you were born...Anyone, homosexual or not, that says homosexuals are BORN as homosexuals is stupid. It's a sad excuse for being ashamed of yourself...And these people shouldn't have to be ashamed. They're ashamed because of horrible people like you who oppress them for living how they feel happy. Homosexuality happens in nature all the time...Animals do it, humans do it...Whatever. It's all hormones and sexual desires. My two dogs hump eachother all the time. Are they going to doggie-hell if I don't spread them the word of Jesus? Uh, nope?

 

 

 

You said "being homosexual doesn't make you a criminal, but you're guilty of a wrong decision reguardless." Why? Because you say so? Because some stupid 6,000 year old PAPER says so? Screw that, and screw your entire religion. All you do is oppress people with your hatred, covered in "sympathy" and it's pathetic. Just come out and say you hate that gay people don't follow what you follow already so you can save some dignity.

 

 

 

I hope you do stop posting, because arguing with a brain-washed religious zealot is like arguing with a wall. You're so set in your stupid ways that you just CAN'T see it any other way...I, on the other hand, do not have such convictions (there is a reason it's called a conviction and not a "choice" by the way. :lol:) so I can take the time to see both sides. The Bible says homosexuality is wrong, but nature in our world says it's normal...Geez, I don't know WHAT to believe...Reality, or a story? Geez, tough choice there. God may very well exsist, but assuming he loves us all as the Bible says, then I would think he loves homosexuals even more because they have to deal with "his people" trying to bring them down. But nay, they stand tall and give you the proverbial finger. I personally think God would love that. They say he has a sense of humor, afterall. While the Bible says it's an abomination of God, I'm sure he still looks at them as his children and he loves them just as much as you...But if I were said deity, I would love you just a little less for oppressing in my name.

 

 

 

Is homosexuality good or bad? Neither. It's just homosexuality, no matter what you say. It is how it is, it is nature. It's like asking "Is gravity good or bad?"

[killersushipunk]

On topic then.

 

I wish we could all get along, and that people with hatefull views would not have to change them, but just keep their views to themself and be civil (A-HEM)

[Kwisatz]

My dying wish would be to have one week of party.

 

 

 

No lie.

 

 

 

Like have all my friends there, all my favorite bands, watch some kickin' movies, drink some pwnage beer, party, "mess around," etc.

 

 

 

As everything is going now this probably won't happen to me at any kind of great extent, and for once I'd just like to have some well-deserved vacation and uninterrupted funness. Selfish as it is, that's what I want. Universal acceptance would cause the world to collapse, as the lack of conflict would cause the fundamentals of today's world to fall apart. We as a human species should progress to that point naturally.

 

 

 

As for the homophobic sentiments, f*ck you ignorant idiots. AIDS began in lesser primates and was transferred to somebody via blood contact between them and the monkey. It then spread but was known primarily in the gay community. At this time there was AT LEAST one heterosexual person infected with it, the odds prove it. Stop blaming those different than you for the problems of the world.

 

 

 

If someone is homosexual, I have no problem with it. If they embarass you in front of your friends, then get new ones that are halfway tolerant. They aren't humping you in public, they aren't coming on to you. The only essential difference between them and you is who they do, as well as possibly a slight hormonal imbalance and style decisions. If they hit on you and it makes you uncomfortable, then do what you would as if you were in the same situation as with somebody heterosexual.

 

 

 

Insensitive, uninformed morons.

 

 

 

For the record, the above does not apply to the incredibly flamboyant, contrived attention groupies who pretend to be bisexual or less commonly homosexual to get a shot at popularity, stand out, or get a chance with the opposite sex. They are just as bad as the bigots.

 

 

 

And, as for the little religious BS attached to homosexuality and abortion: both ends of the spectrum are fueling the flames. The zealots keep pushing all their closed-minded anti-everything holier-than-thou propaganda, and the atheists keep pushing their equally-propagandanistic "OH MY GOD THE CHRISTIANS ARE KEEPING EVERYTHING DOWN!" It's analagous to hearing a person of African heritage saying "The white man is KEEPING US DOWN" as an excuse for everything - only certain ones are doing that. I respect a person's beliefs, no matter what they are, so long as they are 1) remotely moral, as in no killing babies or sacrificing children or wanton murder, and 2) they don't infringe upon or militantly degrade the beliefs of others. There are hardcore Christians that do this, and there are hardcore atheists that do this.

 

 

 

In fact, I found the perfect wish to sum this up: stop collective thinking.

[mad4u689]

Xplsv: I think it's okay for you to have an opinion that homosexuality is a sin. I disagree with you, but it's okay for you to have that opinion. I also hope you understand that people who don't feel it's a sin, and ARE homosexual, might be hurt by your opinion. It's a valid opinion, but pronouncing it everywhere may make people who don't feel it's a "choice" feel upset and misunderstood and bad about themselves.

 

 

 

Also, having an opinion is okay, as long as you recognize it's an opinion; that is, don't embed your ideas about homosexuality being "bad" into law, etc. The government should be impartial to lifestyle decisions :)

[insane]

May I add "lifestyle decisions that don't harm others", to the end of your quote, so the person who eats children as a lifestyle decision doesn't sneak their way into an upcoming post? :P

[Anesthesia]

The thing is that that bigot was asserting that homosexuality, whether a decision or not, does harm others.

[Viktorkrum77]

The thing is that that bigot was asserting that homosexuality, whether a decision or not, does harm others.

 

 

 

Then my reply is that straight people harm homosexuals. Now what huh?

 

 

 

You are guilty of a wrong decision regardless.

 

 

 

So you're are saying that, since I am guilty of being something totaly unconscious to me, that I am commiting a crime? I maybe commiting a crime to society, but not to nature. It is how it is, nature understands that perfectly. Society is the one to blaim. So who cares about society. Society isn't perfect, so why should I care what society thinks!

 

 

 

Nature has obviously known this, that or adapted to it. Maybe homosexuality started back in the cave men days, or maybe it started a little later, and maybe we adapted to it, some being it, and some not. It's called evolution, it's what happens over a long period of time. We don't have webbed feet anymore, we don't have as much body hair either, we don't need it. And homosexuality probably started along time ago, for God knows why, and more and more people each year are born that way, we are evolving to the point where maybe, someday, our society will be 50/50 homosexuals/homosaipiens.
