Yes and No. I understand your point. Let me try and phrase this in a way you can hopefully relate to.There's a difference between disapproving of something and "not allowing" someone to do it.
Ironically, you're the one mandating someone else's actions here. The other person is just expressing an opinion.
Quagmire, I'm going to make an assumption and for the sake of argument lets assume its true. You hate driving with your seat belt and think you have every right to do so without punishment. You not having your seat belt doesn't infringe on my day-to-day life. For the most part, you're right.
If feel strongly enough about it - you're going to fight for society to adapt to your point of view. I don't think homosexuality is okay, and I'm going to do what I can to make sure it is not socially acceptable, but at the same time, I'm not going to round up a militia to go hunting for homosexuals.
There are a ton of things that society prevents people from doing for numerous reasons mostly having to do with morals and ethics. Someone who wants to have relations with family members can't do that.... Who are they hurting. You may not agree with my beliefs but I would hope that you can at least respect them in the same way I respect your beliefs.otokage007 said:So no, I can not stand u being against homosexuality, because it is cruel and a really perverse way of thinking. To not allow others to do what they want when they are not hurting anyone, is to repress them and make them unhappy.
If you knew anything about my beliefs you would know Judaism doesn't have a hell. You would also know that the majority of religious Jews really just want to be left alone the same way you want to be left alone. We're not looking to convert you to Judaism. Were not even looking to convert anyone to Judaism.otokage007 said:It is because of people like you that homosexuals these days have so many problems in society and requires a huge amount of effort for them to tell the truth about their sexuality. U really are a bad person and u should re-read your holy books because I feel u will go straight to hell if you don't change your mind.
I feel disappointed that after a few short paragraphs of dialogue you are so quick to judge me and tell me how bad of a person I am without knowing much of anything about me.
