So, we need more gay people to have kids...

Don't get me wrong, I know you are quite reasonable really. I also respect a lot of what you say. Just that our world views are so different that we wont solve this topic without going hideously off topic first ;)

So let us postpone this debate until later, when we sorted some other stuff (like my depraved life leading straight to hell and your anal-retentive religious views) *note, said with a BIG smiley*

I respect your views to, in particular it's refreshing to see someone that can think for themselves without the knee-jerk liberal-left/right-wing reactions.

Plus it's funny how we agree on little, less ideological things, like the thread on the attractiveness of different races.

But with different cultures I suppose... we end up with these big debates...

PS: I much liked your second post. I can see quite a difference between that and some early posts you did. Is HoreTore holding a gun to your head? ;)

I think I'm becoming all boring and moderate in my old age...

The main reason really is, as I said in another thread recently, I guess with being in the more 'tolerant' environment and having actually seen gay people, I realise they maybe aren't really all rapists/paedophiles/prostitutes/whatever like I used to think they were. At first, I really didn't believe the guys here when they said they weren't.

Don't hate on me too much for it though, even in my old posts I'm a moderate compared to people in RL. My old best friend went to some pretty crazy Baptist church and said he hopes all gay people will burn in hell, another guy (not really religious) says things like he wants to line them up and shoot them.

Looking back that's pretty shocking stuff and way out of touch with what you see for the enlightened minds on this forum, but really this is what things are like outside the world of the educated elite.

I've never understood hatred of gays, a lot of it coming from people I otherwise agree with politically. It has no basis in rational thought, much like antisemitism. I blame deep seeded religious influences.

Actually, I guess you could blame the Jews for writing the Torah that has been the basis of homophobia for millenia.
