Sexuality

edited June 2013 in General Chat
So homosexual marriage finally seems like it's getting approval from the American public, to which I say Kudos! I'm firmly attracted to the female form myself, but I'd never want to keep someone from marrying someone else.

    Plenty of room in the sea for all kinds of boats.
    I'm not bothered unless you try to sink my battleship. (Or try to get in the way of my navigation. I spent ages trying to plan that all out you know. -_-)

    I hope it shows up again and goes through in California. I want to go to some weddings!

    I think it's great that attitudes are finally becoming more accepting of homosexuals. Every argument as to why they shouldn't be able to get married is flawed in such an obvious way that my mind boggles as to how people can be so pig-headed as to prevent two people from declaring their love to the world and enjoying the benefits of married life. I really despise homophobes.

    N7... not that you'd ever have to support homosexual marriage, I know how things are viewed in your country... but according to forum rules, a certain level of tolerance concerning homosexuality is actually required for our members.

    But we are human! Even animals never do such a thing like that
    Even shouldn't talk about this

    Where are we going?

    God help us!

    It depends on how N7 (or anyone behaving the same way) proceeds, basically. He's made his views known, which is fine, and if he wants to explain the logic behind it and engage in a healthy debate, fair enough. If he wants to just say "being gay is wrong!" and ramble on without saying anything, I suspect I'll just give him a warning.

    Slightly touchy subject, homosexuality. I don't want to just slap people's wrists for having opinions that differ from everyone else's. That's not what should happen in an open forum.

    I'm glad. I live in Canada's version of Texas, so...yeah, I see the intolerance on a daily basis. It's generally not violent here, just a lot of finger waving and whispered jokes. I, however, have a fair amount of homosexual and bisexual friends and things have only become more and more awesome for them in terms of acceptance as the years go on. It's great.

    I have no idea what you're saying but I doubt it's anywhere near as inspirational as you think it is. It's just really condescending for no real apparent reason.

    Sexuality is a spectrum anyway...
    (I personally am straight with a slight feminine twist and damn proud of it! :D (I kind of wish I was bisexual at times actually. Makes the potential pool of applicants larger. ;D (I'm going to admit, some guys I've seen have looked pretty damn fine.... but the ladies win over the judges!)))

    I'm not sure when the UK will have Gay marriages instead of Civil Partnership. I hope it's soon.

    While I don't exactly approve of homosexuality, I still think you are probably right.


    What I'd like to discuss, concerning sexuality, is rampant extra-marital sexual promiscuity.

    As you may or may not know, General Petraeus, former director of the CIA, resigned from his position after it became known that he was having an affair with his biographer. A while back, John Edwards was found out as having an affair; so was Arnold Schwarzenegger; so was Bill Clinton. The list goes on.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!? Does no one have loyalty to their spouse? Seriously.

    As someone who was once the third wheel, as you might put it, unless it's generally agreed upon that it's just sex, in the end, it just sucks for everyone involved.

    I learned my lesson. I was a lot younger by the way, I'm not talking about a couple years ago here. I've personally grown into a very devoted(in the sense of love and not stringing people along) person and wont stay in a relationship with someone that I do not feel the utmost love and passion for. So yes, I believe in divorce and not staying together "for the kids"...because yanno, kids just love seeing bickering and fighting every day of their lives.
  • edited November 2012
    And again, what's with that? Affairs, spousal abuse, child abuse...


    I have a whole host of things I feel like saying in a big, long rant on about this, but they are obvious and I'm sure everyone agrees anyway.

    I love my wife. I love her. We might have heated arguments now and then, but it's not fighting, and we always make up. And I certainly wouldn't yell and scream around kids.


    I wouldn't say I'm a proponent of divorce. My faith does tell me that it's wrong except for in cases of marital unfaithfulness. However, I can certainly see the reasons why it is a necessary step in certain cases such as abuse.

    I also feel that too many people get divorced too easily--like they're not having fun anymore so they get bored and quit. Same with having affairs. When I got married to my wife, I said "for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." This should mean something to people. They're not agreeing to be married until it's not a party anymore. They're making a commitment to spend their life with someone who should be their best friend.

    *sigh* I just don't understand people.

    Most marriages can be saved by spicing up the bed room.

    But getting all those chilli peppers can be pretty expensive though, so I can see why not many people would do it.

    You know, this thread and the depression thread, and perhaps that election thread... isn't it time that there is a more appropriate board to be made for topical issues, or more serious issues, like most forums seem to have? That way we can separate the "mature" threads from the casual threads.

    Well technically, that's what the games divide is for. We just haven't had a whole lot of worthwhile discussion lately.

    This is the more compelling argument for gay marriage ever.

    Actually, in my experience the argument usually goes like this:

    "It's unnatural."
    "It's found throughout nature."
    "It's just a new liberal trend."
    "It's been part of society, with varying degrees of acceptance, since the beginning of recorded history."
    "It will take away my rights."
    "It has nothing to do with your rights, your rights will stay the same."
    "It will destroy the sanctity of marriage."
    "A divorce rate of over 50% has already done that."
    "It won't work because marriage is about procreation and gay couples can't have kids."
    "Neither can many straight couples but we still let them marry."
    "The kids that they do have will be messed up for life without a mother and father."
    "Not according to every study ever done on the subject."
    "It violates the holy book that I subscribe to."
    "That book contains numerous inconsistencies and a wide variety of other rules that are considered outdated."
    "It makes me feel icky."
    "Aaaaand there it is."

    I've got no problem with people having personal or religious reasons for disliking homosexuality. The only thing I care about is how that person feels it should be implemented as public policy, because once you start imposing religious feelings on public policy, the question becomes whose religion is fit for imposing on others?

    I would like to know why so many people spend so much time worrying about the sex lives of consenting adults, instead of worrying about children and adults FORCED into sexual acts.

    No. I like being able to jump between light hearted and serious. When you have a subforum for all serious it just gets depressing, argumentative and eventually shut down.

    I don't think I've really known what love is since my first love. I think I've loved other people, but I've also gotten bored with them after a few months, so probably not.

    This.

    Also, I will point out that just because I disapprove of homosexuality, it doesn't mean I hate gays, and it doesn't mean they're going to hell simply because they're gay. I will also add that abusing people because they're gay period solves nothing.

    Gotten bored with them? Like, you go to clubs and parties and that sort of stuff when you're single, but when you're in a relationship you get bored with not having that to do all the time? Or do you mean that you get tired of when you want to do something, you have to run it by her first?

    Loving someone doesn't mean there's hot, infatuous fawning over each other all the time. So just because the infatuation wears off after a time, it doesn't mean you don't love each other after that.
