Homosexuality.

I have never served with any homosexual men is a combat unit, and I myself am not a homosexual solider, so I suppose you could say that I don't have any personal experience with this issue. I've also never been in a position where I'm terminally ill and wanted my doctor to kill me, but this doesn't prevent me from having an opinion on the issue, nor does it invalidate my opinion in any way.

Rather than tap-dancing around the point, answer me this: if a homosexual man can be shown to excel at combat, what reason do you have for preventing him from serving in the armed forces?

 

If you had any idea of what you're commenting on you'd know that I have nothing to do with it.. Once again, talk to your Congressman.. lol

 

I've responded to all except you.. Sorry you're not getting the answer/posts you wish.. My feedback and opinion, not yours

 

My posts are in response to the subject.. Sorry I do not support homos in the military.. considering it is deemed unacceptable by the military.

 

It was "unacceptable" for roughly 19 years in the USA, but now that people have started to accept the inevitable, that law has been abolished. The military didnt really want to know for those years, and now, it doesn't matter who knows. How is that unacceptable?

 

I dont hate them till they stay away from me!

 

Spyike, sorry if already been asked, but why dont you support gay in the military?

 

He is simply stating his opinion, sorry that you don't agree, Finnigans. The SFA forum doesn't require you to achieve a the highest level of debate, it simply requires that you argue an intelligent position on the topic. His answers are biased, as yours are, you simply dislike the fact that he does not agree with you. I do not believe gays should be allowed in the military either, nothing to do with their physical attributes.

 

It's not because that the Catholic Church hates on gays. They beleive that marriage should be between a man and a woman to have children, not just for the fun of it.

The catholic church also has no problems with Gays being together, or making love, it's not their business but marriage was a word first used by Christians so technically those people you were talking about were not getting "married" but simply just together.

I have no problem with gays being listed as "legally together" but Christians are mad for you using their words for something they do not support.

 

It's the 21st century. Christians need to get over themselves.

 

What difference does it make that it is the 21st century. It has been two millennium since Christianity came into existence, that means they have long established values and traditions. That isn't going to change in a matter of eleven years over a very small portion of the population...

 

It also means their beliefs are old, outdated, and no longer law. They no longer control and rule as they once did. I'd say that's a significant difference.

 

Christians have never ruled anything other than the recent state of Vatican City.

If you look back on history it has been christians who were punished, martyred, etc, not the other way around.

Although there is great influence from the Christian faith, they have also respected other beliefs, which is the reason why other faiths or non-faiths exist. So don't go around saying that Christians ruled everyone from the past one or two milleniums.

 

Topping out at 2.1 billion adherents... I'd say they have a pretty significant influence on the world population... That's 33%, bud. That means one in three people agree with the Church to some degree. I would argue that they are the single most influential organization in the entire world. That's not going to change quickly. You are clearly wrong.

EDIT: Parox, watch out for the double post.

 

Read last line... I didn't say they weren't.

Oh, I was arguing with the Joker. He seemed to believe that the Church was flawed and that it needed to change its views to suit the gay population.

EDIT: When you click edit post there is a button to delete the posting..

 

I believe it's a personal choice and we should not discriminate against anyone for what they choose to believe in. If someone ones to fight for there country it shouldn't matter about there sexuality, because all the people around them are there for the same cause.

 

I never stated they did not still have a major influence. I said they need to get over themselves, meaning that they do have influence and need to catch up with the rest of the world in their beliefs.

 

Oh, sorry about that.

And to Joker, why should they change their beliefs and why can't you change your own beliefs ?

For this exact reason the government does not like to touch up on delicate debates such as gay marriage, thus which will most likely make the laws remain.

 

Because their beliefs conflict. Tell me this, why is being gay wrong? It's not a choice, therefore it would be a natural occurence, meaning your God made this possible/happen. Why would God not want the children he supposedly created to be happy and to become united? Why would he basically make those he loved and created segregated?
