OF THE
TIMES
The time for politeness on this issue has passed.The time for politeness is indeed passed! And not just when it comes to LGBT(Q) issue.
The successful normalisation of homosexuality could be undermined by miring it in an untenable ideology.It's unfortunate that the good professors feel the need to genuflect towards liberal ideology in this fashion ... or (what's more likely) that they genuinely share this ideology. The normalization of homosexuality was one of the first stages in the madness that is gripping our decaying society. Pretending that non-reproductive 'sex' is morally equivalent to reproductive sex; that sterile gay marriage is morally equivalent to genuine marriage; that pederasty is not endemic amongst homosexuals; and that homosexuals are generally sane individuals who don't suffer from a myriad of other comorbid psychological and emotional illnesses; in short, the normalization of sexual perversion; all of this amounts to willfully turning our collective eyes away from reality. Once reality has been rejected in part, it is not long before it is rejected in whole.
John Carter I can understand a religion having moral framework but once you separate church and state, what does the government base it's morals on. They seem incapable of holding a fixed moral positionSeparation of church and state is a false notion. They were never separate. Rather, the church of progressivism has become the national religion.
I don't think the interests, or morals, of the majority is justification for criminalizing those that fall outside whatever the prevailing standards are for the geographical / political environment that they were born into
I don't think the interests, or morals, of the majority is justification for criminalizing those that fall outside whatever the prevailing standards are for the geographical / political environment that they were born intoI agree. Nevermind that the majority IS the problem. Happily deluded and enjoying their comfort.
I don't wish government to enforce whatever the tyranny of the majority dictates.What is right and proper for the majority cannot be experienced as tyranny by the majority, almost by definition.
I thought it would be superfluous but obviously theft, murder, rape all fall under the category of doing harm to others
John Carter I think it should be clear when someone is genuinely harming another - not something that could be vaguely "considered"Is it clear?
So stoning gays is okay and now your logic also extends to the murder of apostates for the "good for society"
Who exactly determines what the "majority" is .... I get the impression that the vast bulk of people are not represented
The majority is a narrative woven by media and politicians
By then our President had already introduced a “social credit” system that allowed us to identify disloyal, counter-revolutionary and bourgeois elements in our society. Using the social credit scores — which are taken from online activity, electronic shopping behaviour and reports from informers in civil society — we selected some of the worst offenders. These included human rights lawyers and activists, Christians, homosexuals, artists, intellectuals, people who speak foreign languages, and other undesirables.It's dangerous to believe that one is always going to be in the majority
See Thomas Jefferson's quote again in my post above. Try to let it sink in a bit. He's describing the social contract in very concrete terms. Separation of church and state was one of the most valuable things he and Madison initiated. Unfortunately, it is still not understood (or appreciated) by many who still, after 300+ years, want to regain the option of using the legal system to define the proper content of personal morality for others.
If the legal system persists in trying to sanction the use of these and other dangerous heroin-like drugs, basically nothing changes except that the focus remains on the poor foolish victims rather than the social circumstances that prey on the worst of human impulses. A huge black market, results.
If people like you could muster the decency to be human beings toward human beings, none of these extreme behaviors would be happening.
Our society is not your kindergarten class.Apparently it is yours. Learn your lessons well.
Take out all the gays tomorrow, shoot them, gas them, whatever the majority think is a suitable punishment for a scapegoat. Nothing will changeStraight to the reductio ad absurdum, eh? Criticism of the gay stuff = genocidal impulse.
