Yes. The first person I heard that from was my father. Who was, looking back on it, years ahead of his time in the way he treated women. He wanted us to be seen as smart, intelligent beings deserving of equal pay and treatment. Not degraded and used as sex objects by men with the emotional intelligence of a 13-year old boy going through puberty.

When im at the mall or on transit and young kids are being extra loud and vulgar, you can hear everyone around with their comments about it and them, so everyone judges INCLUDING you.

You are judging me because I dont agree with LGBT, so according to you I judge gays and to me you judge straights, its no different.
If those guys with their pants hanging down are ACTING like thugs, then I would assume they are. If I walk past them and they say, "Good Morning!", I will not judge them as thugs. You need to stop blaming others for your issues. Saying it is their fault that you judge them is like saying it is the girl who gets raped brought it on by wearing skimpy clothing. Stop blaming others for your short comings.

No, I am judging you based off your words. From your words, I can see that you legitimately hate gays. For this, I am judging you. So sue me. I will call out bigotry when I see it.

Im entitled to my own opinion and DO NOT have to agree with homosexuality, this DOES NOT mean that I hate gay people or a bigot because DO NOT agree with their lifestyle.

You do not speak for me, or America. You judge these young people. They are the future of our nation and they are wonderful.

America does not judge men for wearing baggy pants. I have never met a young man wearing baggy pants who was a criminal. I do not judge them by the music they play.

Young people on a corner in the city are a lot of fun. Dancing and singing and practicing dance moves. I have been dragged into a few dances myself. I have three left legs, and it was awesome.

I have never been disrespected, or have been disrespectful of young men wearing baggy pants.

Of course you won't debate me, because you can't.

I was born into fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity. So I have already "tried it."

Wow, this thread is turning into an episode of Jerry Springer.

Nonsense. Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible; there is no tap-dancing away from that fact, notwithstanding the best efforts of many ostensible Christians. Divorce is condemned. Adultery is condemned. Fornication is condemned. Clearly and unequivocally. Adhering to these positions is not "bigotry" on the part of a Bible-believing Christian. Bigotry is a groundless, irrational hatred. Christians are opposed to homosexual practices (and divorce, adultery and fornication) because this is set forth in the Bible and is seen (together with all of the others) as a perversion of the natural order God intended. This is not groundless or baseless. One can strongly disagree with the Christian position, but it is not "bigotry." I am truly as opposed to fornication, adultery and divorce as to homosexuality; indeed, it is dismaying that homosexuality receives so much more attention than the others, when they are far bigger threats to the institution of marriage. The only distinction I can see (and it is significant), is that fornication, adultery and divorce are entirely matters of choice whereas a tendency toward homosexuality may be (and in my observation is) largely a matter of genetics (engaging in homosexual practices being a matter of choice). But so, quite probably, is a predisposition toward pedophilia and lots of other conduct that society condemns for good reason. I am opposed to the homosexual agenda both on religious grounds and because I believe it is detrimental to society (along with many other agendas that are popular among the "Tolerance is god" crowd). The notion that Tolerance of Everything is the highest virtue is positively bizarre. The notion that homosexuality and transgenderism can be equated to heterosexuality is positively bizarre. The notion that a homosexual relationship can qualify as a marriage is positively bizarre. The notion that transgenderism should be accommodated by society, to the extent of inconveniencing the 99.9% who are not transgender, is positively bizarre. However, a society that is "positively bizarre" is pretty much what the Bible predicts for the end times.

You seem to specialize in short anti-Christian aphorisms that will not withstand scrutiny. One could almost conclude that you were ... well, a bigot!

Bull, all you have to do is look at any internet forum, or comment section and even fox and cnn themselves and watch people rant off that young kids with visible tattoos appear dangerous, black men with sagging pants and dreads appear dangerous, and more. Before saggin pants was baggy pants were labeled as thugs, and some towns now try make it illegal to ware baggy pants

Im clean cut and wear polos, jeans and pants above the waste where they belong and have been followed in stores...you know the usual, tall black guy must be here to commit to steal. I came to help a lady move a piano out her house and the neighbor called the police on me as a suspicious person even though the lady was standing next to me.

America judges all the time. Blacks commit most crimes, Mexicans are illegals, most Muslims are terrorist or agree with it, Christians are hateful, blah blah blah, the list can be endless.

Here is what I come away with;

You are afraid of baggy pants. Baggypants Phobia I suggest NLP to get over this unnatural fear.

You wear mom jeans above your waist.

You think dreads are dangerous. They are no more dangerous than Kim Davis' long hair.

You are afraid to be anything else but clean cut.

You are living in unnecessary fear.
