I really appreciate you posting this, Spywizard. I was beginning to think poorly of you, but this really shows me why you feel the way you feel. That's cool, and I respect that. Honestly, that's one reason I really don't like arguing on a message board, because sometimes the context of what someone writes is easily misconstrued, and that's when the flame war starts. You know, I can't even remember if I was even originally attacking your statements, but somehow we got pulled into this heated war about who knows what and why the other person is less credible.
What's funny is, like you said, there are many points we agree on, but it got lost somewhere in the sea of text that everyone was throwing in. I agree with you that it isn't necessary to know what someone's sexual orientation is. If a guy likes fat chicks, good for him, I don't wanna hear it. If someone likes to let a dog lick peanut butter off his nuts, that's his business, not mine. He doesn't have to wear a t-shirt to let everyone know about it. However, I do believe, like privacy, these people have every right and freedom to do what they will, just as all the general majority can, so long as it isn't physically, mentally, or emotionally harmful to another human being. This means pedophiles, murders, rapists, and so forth should not be allowed to exercise their desires. Gays, in general, aren't really hurting anyone.
Whether they should be allowed to adopt, well, that's a sensitive topic. I don't think they should be denied the freedom, but I do feel that an extensive background check and psychological evaluation should be performed before qualifying for adoption.
Unfortunately, the reason why gays are so "expressive" of their sexuality is no more than a product of our society, IMO. It goes the same for minorities and women. We oppressed them for a period of time, so that when we actually did give them freedoms, they felt compelled to "overcompensate", which is why you see feminist groups, and minority-extremist groups like Black Panthers, and even the "thug" lifestyle.
BTW, 500 hp jeep? ****! That humbles my 450 hp Camaro...

Oh, that's because YOU don't know what you're talking about and you have no evidence to support your argument!! My opinion has been taught? By whom? Your mother? How the hell would you know? So because my opinion is different from yours, that makes my opinions "taught"? Actually, I'm a very skeptical person, and if I have a question about something I research it MYSELF, I look at both sides of the argument, logically deduce it in my head, and whichever one makes more sense (something an intelligent person would do), I choose to believe in. So until you can formulate a somewhat reasonable argument to my posts, just keep your mouth shut, pal...
