Maybe we shouldn't be stooping so low (to lows of some of these Christians).

Frost of the Gloaming Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Why can't we just grow up and honestly say sex is between two consenting people that happens behind closed doors, honestly who gives a flying fuck if you like your lover to wear a horsehead while whipping you as you sing the Star Spangled Banner, I mean really what the fuck does that have to do with anything important Love is love and until people realize that we are going to stuck in adolescent years forever 6 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Machete Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 One of the arguments I've heard (besides "the bible says so") is it being a slippery slope. I have heard that pedophiles are now petitioning for their right to be attracted to underage children, under the assumption that one cannot choose who one is attracted to. Not many people may be okay with that at the moment. I'm sure there are discussions about how it's not the same thing, but it's all semantics dependent upon whomever is listening. "No matter whom we choose to love, be they heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual, trisexual, quadrisexual, pansexual, transexual, omnisexual, or that thing where the chick ties the belt around your neck and tinkles on a balloon, it has absolutely nothing to do with who we are as people."

We all know that I'm the biggest opposition for homosexuality around here, as evident in my frequent, long, extremely homophobic previous posts from many pages back. The debate in question is the debate over gay marriage - meaning a world wide debate, not one happening right here specifically. Comparing homosexuality to pedophilia is rather taboo. Perhaps you didn't know this. However, common sense should dictate that comparing most things to pedophilia is taboo. You were responding to someone who said why - but not someone who said why can't we legally marry. It was to someone who said why can't people get over what two consenting adults choose to do. And you answered with a response that was quite specifically not about consenting adults. Furthermore, you've identified yourself as straight - it's all very well for you to say it's all semantics. To us, it is not. To us, it's our real actual lives. Having said that, this is meant as a safe space for those of us living this life. And as such, the kind thing to do is to let this argument rest now. 3 Quote SHAEON Jedi Apprentice Druid Character Sheet Daily Battle Log: Shaeon Restores Balance to the Force Past Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Current Challenge: Shaeon Focuses "With great boots comes great responsibility."

shaeon Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I didn't see it as an attack. But the pedophilia argument is old and many of us have heard it entirely too many times, and as noted, it's not nice to compare people to pedophiles. Just isn't. Shouldn't have to explain that, really. Part of being in a safe space means not having to answer to the tired old "maybe this is why you don't get to have rights!" arguments that so many of us have answered to before. Safe space means you understand that we don't want to constantly explain our side in response to the arguments of the most reactionary people out there. It means that you get that it's pretty rotten that people actually think "because pedophiles" is an ok thing to say about people who want to have consenting adult relationships.It doesn't mean you can't ask questions. It doesn't mean you're not permitted to make mistakes. But it does mean that you should be mindful of how what you say would sound, if you were in the shoes of the person you are speaking to. 2 Quote SHAEON Jedi Apprentice Druid Character Sheet Daily Battle Log: Shaeon Restores Balance to the Force Past Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Current Challenge: Shaeon Focuses "With great boots comes great responsibility."

kaelvan Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but isn't there other issues in the community we should be fighting over about (all for gay marriage, but seriously). How about how alphabet soup community has the problem of member discriminates against other members, who don't fit the mold?

Rookiebeotch Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hi all. Someone mentioned that something was upsetting was said here, and out of pure curiosity, I wanted to see what it was. I quickly lost interest, maybe because I am not Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Taco, or Quesadilla (though, I am an Asshole). But I found a new interest; wtf is Alphabet Soup? I googled Alphabet Soup and I could only find that disgusting noodle soup I sometimes ate as a child when whoever was feeding me was being lazy.

Rookiebeotch Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Ah, figured it out. Had to google "alphabet soup community" like it was said in this thread. Too many letters. Got it. Could just change to name to 'No Haters', seeing that the soup is expanded basically to that point. 2 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment
