Well now cmon, put into context, that is funny, and while you may find that (venomous) you would be surprised to know that two of the most liberal progay people on here gave me positive reps for that, because they saw it for what it was sarcastic humor ! not venomous hate!

Well OTR you will be happy to know that a good deal of mine have been eradicated, seems free speech is a one way street on this topic!

I for one think it's a good idea. There does seem to be at any given time a number of threads dealing with issues specific to the topic. Why not group them together? We all have have directories and subdirectories for grouped topics on our PC . Why not here ?

And I should add, opinion and fact are two different things. FACT: Being gay is not a choice, it's been documented many times by many scientists all across the world.

That shouldn't be up for debate, but it is. So, if someone is using their "opinion" in a hateful and/or negative manner, I have every right to tell them so.
That is very conveniant, its fact because i say it is and you cant challenge me, and if you do its just your homophobic opinion and hate, and i will tell the moderator and give you neg rep!

Maybe he just considers it to be "fact" because all the scientific research backs it up? ...

On this subject or other subjects?

And happy, why would I be happy. I wish people would be kinder, and gentler, but nothing makes that so.

Much like global warming, right? I am amazed at the open mindedness of those who profess so much tolerance here, and I would challenge everyone to take note as to who are the ones calling names and attacking on this thread!

I would like to know who the everyone is, silas777. I read all the posts, I think, and only a few seemed to be an attack.

Has questioning became an attack? I heard that tonight on another thread, too!

Are we so divided?

Do you know of any scientific research that doesn't back it up? I'm not trying to attack you or anything, I'm just saying beliefs generally start to become more than "opinion" when they have a large body of solid research behind them.
