I am willing to bribe someone.

[Nicole]

I will give a dollar to whatever mod deletes Rico's "I'm a raging homophobe look at me look at me" thread and the "some dumb kid od's on the internet and even though we already discussed it we should do it again now" thread.

I can bribe in several different currencies, so exchange is not a problem.

[Intervention]

I've got ~12p in my nochex account to back you up on.

What if you're not a mod? Can I still have the dollar?

[Nicole]

If you can delete the threads, yes.

Another personal Assult thread.

Clause 3 : Flaming

I understand that a large part of the forums is "taking the 'mickey' out of people" but to actually attack their person is wrong. Being verbally attacked by people in groups is unfair and is not, in my opinion, at all allowable. Its childish and immature and will be stopped. A line needs to be drawn between "taking the mickey" and going for the his/her throat. Its putting alot of people off posting because they dont want to be aggressivly hounded for expressing an opinion. Elitist behaviour and demeaning people due to their position in society is also strictly forbidden. Failure to comply with this will lead to a strike being issued.

Clause 11 : You the Users

You the user must at all times act as you would if in a public place within any country. This may be an online discussion forum but it does not mean you can act and behave as though nothing you say really matters. There are real users responding to you and these real users have opinions and emotions. It is in part upto you the user to make the Planetarion Forums a user-friendly place to be. If you behave in a manner which encourages others to follow suit the Forums will become an easier place to talk and contain a more friendly atmosphere. If you decide to break the rules detailed above then you are harming yourself just as much as others.

She isn't the one who's gratifying themselves by discriminating an entire group of ppl.

I really wonder what happened in your childhood that made you so *bitter* about other ppl's happyness, either that or you're just a really twisted individual.

Or maybe you're just a 12 yr old who's ignored by his parents and is trying to cure his attention-deprivation by spouting nonsense on random forums.

I'm not sure which of the options hits more home, enlighten me Rico...

Do you have a point? If you're trying to accuse me of being hypocritical you've failed. I'm not asking the mods to delete your thread because it breaks the rules. I could give a **** if it does really. I'm asking them to delete it because I'll give them a dollar for it and dollars are more useful then the discussions I have mentioned.

If you posted the above to point out my own rulebreaking then my response will have to be:

WE NEED THE FUNK. GOTTA HAVE THAT FUNK.

I think this is the heart of the problem, he WANTS to 'guzzle cum' but is too scared to come out of the closet hence his hostility towards those who have.

If you weren't so obnoxious then you wouldn't get flamed in the first place.

It really isn't that difficult to understand.

You see, this is where you are mistaken. The heart of the problem is that YOU DON'T WANT TO GUZZLE CUM.

Is it wrong to harbour "homophobic feelings" completely or is it only wrong to express them?

Define 'wrong'. I view homophobia as a sign of mental sickness (a neurosis if you like) but to be honest as long as it's not openly displayed I don't really care. People can think what they like, if they express it publicly then I am also free to react how I like. Freedom is a wonderful thing

Fortunately medical science has caught up with the world and neither the DSM IV or ICM 10 class homosexuality as paraphilias these days. Phobias are well documented and classified within them though.

Ah, you probably don't even know what they are though.

Wrong as in bad, evil, not in accord with one's personal set of ethics. I can't possibly define something as individual as 'wrong', I just asked to guage people's individual reactions.

On the subject of people Vermillion's "aardvark quote"; is it okay to "not want to know" about people's homosexuality and wrong to be disgusted by it, as that's certainly the sentiment that the prior reaction suggests to me.

I think I answered this in my previous post, right and wrong are slippery concepts at best.

See above. A sign of mental insecurity possibly, I'm not going to commit myself to right or wrong.

Because she's *god forbid* a lesbian???

Does being gay or harbouring gay feelings make us less worthy then for example *heterosexuals*

Plz do tell, I'd love to hear your twisted views on this kind of subjects.

Me...I *used* to have a friend, who started dissing me all of a sudden when he found out I swing both ways. Ppl who can't accept you for who you are, are above all not your friends, and generally really really sad ppl

Let's look at it this way:

Of course you can have your own oppinions, but you can also just have your own oppinions without having to state them in such a way you have done Rico.

Instead of acting so homophobic you could have started a *normal* (if such a think really exists on GD) thread stating the core of what you view as a problem.

Instead you immediately barged in like an elephant, being confrontational in each and every way, and you still believe that what you think is right, and what we think is wrong. There is no right and wrong, but at least we can see that, you on the other hand have probably had a plate in front of your head since you were born

Ppl who act like you will never change, and will never be totally happy as they always look for the wrong in people, but never remotely notice a person's good qualities.

Everyone surely has their own conception of right and wrong, whether rational or no, but if you don't wish to delve into yours then that's fine. And don't think I mean to sound condescending if I do, I just recognise that different people discover more of their selves in different ways, and indeed that some might not even "want to know".

I personally feel I am naturally disgusted by male homosexuality*, and it's not something I can rationalise. Of course, when taken in consideration I feel perfectly comfortable talking to people I know to be gay; though I think I'd soon feel uncomfortable were we to speak of our sexual activities, as it were. Sure, I consider myself prejudiced in its most base form, though I do struggle to override my "gut feeling" in most circumstances, and this area is no different.

The stumbling block is, as ever, the nature of instinct. Is it any worse for me to feel disgusted by male homosexuality than for another male to feel attracted to one of his own gender? As at the end of the day we are likely to base the justification of our own feelings on the same root cause.

Not everyone sees things the way I do, and thats fine; some may not wish to tackle the extent of their own prejudice. Is it any worse, though, to express one's own feelings publicly? Of course, when opinion causes suffering in others then surely it should be contained (do not think that I endorse Hitler's treatment of homosexuals, for example), but I personally don't believe that people should be criticised for expression of their own beliefs. Particularly if that person may be unable to fully recognise the genesis of his or her belief, in fact by reacting radically to any such statement you are denying yourself the opportunity to help the "bigot" understand.

*It's important to note that I only feel 'disgusted' by male homosexuality.

I (this isn't as condescending as it sounds, I promise) prefer not to judge other people or their morality unless it involves harming other people. That's what I meant by 'right and wrong are slippery'.

Sure, I consider myself prejudiced in its most base form, though I do struggle to override my "gut feeling" in most circumstances, and this area is no different.

Yet I have a friend I almost guarantee could have you in stitches by his telling of the (true, his partner spent 3 days in hospital) tale (including intimate details) of a friend who mistakenly grabbed the deep heat instead of the lube one dark drunken night. Comedy is a wonderful way of overcoming prejudice, especially in those who recognise the prejudice for what it is and dislike it within themselves.

If someone believes I am a sacreligious harlot who will burn in the fires of Hell (probably true but I digress) and tells me so quite vocally I'm likely to criticise. The suffering homophobia causes to many gay people is horrendous, 'coming out' shouldn't be a big deal but to so many it is. They're scared (rightly so in some cases) of losing their families and friends, of being a social pariah (or worse, the mythical token 'gay friend'), of being seen as 'different'. It shouldn't be like that, we're just the same as everyone else and one day that's the way it really will be. Sadly that day is not today

Particularly if that person may be unable to fully recognise the genesis of his or her belief, in fact by reacting radically to any such statement you are denying yourself the opportunity to help the "bigot" understand.

I deal with homophobia in person very differently to the way I deal with it on the internet. Dealing with people in person you actually have a real chance to make them think seriously about the issue, on the net you don't. The LGBT rights movement wants friends not enemies.
