Because you're like a cowardly snake that slips away instead of standing up for what you believe in. You put in random comments but purposely never address the real concerns we're discussing.
It's rude, cowardly and a waste of everybody's time.

Seriously, other people on this thread are cool, even though I don't agree with them. Natalie knows how to have discussions. You just don't care that there are real concerns about what you stand for. You just want to whine and rant.

Gay, straight, christian, atheist... I don't care what you stand for you just better be able to defend it, not just blast off your mouth.

See. Exactly.
You think that's funny, but not once have you made a legitimate argument.
If that came from my side it would be called bullying, for the record. For your own sake, I hope you start thinking more deeply about your own beliefs in the future.

I don't want to make "a legitimate argument."

I'm fine right here.

Laughing at my computer as you think you insult me.

Because I don't need to.

I know that one day, even if it is not in my lifetime, LGBT people will be accepted everywhere.

It's like racism.

So these arguments seem trivial compared to the fact we could be working to bring that acceptance closer to existence.

Will,
Here. Answer this one:
If love is just a random thing based on whatever makes you happy and can be "anything" you want, how is it serious or important?

(assuming you care enough about what you stand for, which you don't seem to. And this is why I don't respect your beliefs).


Will Solace Brown wrote: "Will Solace wrote: "Leah wrote: "Will Solace wrote: "Leah wrote: "Will Solace wrote: "Leah wrote: "Will Solace wrote: "Brown wrote: "I'm just going to refer to Will as Malfoy from now on."

Malfoy?..."


If love IS (which it isn't)"a random thing based on whatever makes you happy and can be "anything" you want," then it is important and serious because it is being prohibited.

Love should never be prohibited, restricted, limited.

It should be open, expanding.

But yet, we find new ways to shut it down.

Am I done?

Sorry I'm confused. I keep messing up which comments are from Will and Leah. I didn't say Leah had to defend anything, I was speaking to Will.

I wasn't saying love can be anything.
I was asking that because that's what the others on this thread were saying.
My point is that love ISN'T anything we "feel" like that "makes us happy." We agree.

Leah
I think you hit the nail on the head, in a way.
It's about selflessness AND happiness. Not one or the other.
Gay relationships take out the only selfless part of romantic love, that's why it's not the same.
The point isn't just "to have kids" but be miserable either.
It's about being open to selflessness and happiness whether they come or not. Not eliminating one or both possibilities.

Exactly.
Lots of relationships (including lots of straight relationships) try to make it only about happiness. And it's never more right no matter who does it.

Hate? You're still repeating that?


message 4080: by [deleted user] (new)

Your definitions really are backwards.


Will Solace Brown wrote: "Hate? You're still repeating that?"

Do you believe there is not a single person out of seven billion people on this green earth who do not hate LGBT?


message 4082: by [deleted user] (new)

(According to Will's side):

Hate: wanting what's best for someone (or just wanting answers in this case).

Love: a random feeling without a solid definition.


Am I the only one who thinks this makes no sense????


message 4083: by [deleted user] (new)

All I know is that 90% of the people accused of "hate" are just people like me who want answers.

Hate:

They are both anything and everything.

They're very similar.

And yes, there are people in this big world that hate LGBT people. Catholics too. And muslims. And anything. But I don't really see the point in exaggerating or pointing fingers just to prove a point.

Not to call you names about the hypocrite thing, but you're like the classic person here who only fires shots and purposely misses points.

Will,
If the people who "hate" you include you're mom wanting you to wear dresses or your dad wanting you to go to church, I really don't think that's hate...

It's not people I "hate."

Now, back to the matter at hand.

MY. QUESTION.

IS THERE NOT ONE PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH THAT DOES HATES LGBT?

(I posted this before but you didn't see it).


message 4095: by [deleted user] (new)

People make fun of Catholics all the time and I don't use it as an excuse that I'm right about everything either. And I don't call them "hateful" because I know they're just being stupid.
AND hating the "sin" (whether you agree it's a sin or not, don't blow up) is not the same as hating the person.


message 4096: by [deleted user] (new)

How do they hate them? You mean because they disagree with them or do they literally treat them badly because of it?

Sorry, I think this is just getting too confusing for everyone. Nobody is responding to the right things and it doesn't make sense to me either.


message 4098: by [deleted user] (last edited Nov 09, 2014 02:11PM) (new)

Anyway, I see lots of people getting accused of "hate" when they just disagree.
Hate is a really serious thing that means you wish someone ill.
They just want what's best for them, even if you think they are misguided. that's not hate by any means.

And if people do treat someone badly for being gay, I agree that's stupid. But it doesn't make anybody more or less right for what choices they make. So what's the point of bringing it up constantly?

(to distract, and use as propaganda).

I shall give you the answers. Okay, so your main question appears to be why anyone would enter a romantic relationship if they weren't doing it for a selfless reason (correct me if I'm wrong). But selfless does not always equate to children. Selfless is, by definition, to be more concerned with others than with yourselves. Selfless does not always mean children, although having children is one of the most selfless acts out there. Selfless doesn't have to be due to romantic love, either. Selfless is not the definition of love.

So what is the definition of love? It's different for every person. Love is not a concrete thing that can be seen, touched, and easily defined. It is an abstract concept, and abstract concepts should not be controlled by anyone but the person it really belongs to. Love belongs to all of us individually, and no one can define another's love. Love just... is. It's uncontrollable, and it isn't going to stop because of gender. Some people are straight, some are gay, some are lesbian, some are bisexual, some are asexual, some are pansexual, some are transsexual, some are transgender, some are no gender, ect. We're all human, and we all feel love in different ways.
