You cannot possibly be that ignorant, Sajin. The ridicule, the insults, the harassment, sometimes actual physical violence (pretty rare, but not entirely unheard of). You cannot tell me with a straight face that you don't know what I'm talking about.

You just said they choose to because they choose to.

That's not a valid answer. Not even close to one. That's the equivalent of saying the sky is blue because it is.

Because they choose to. Thats why.



And again you say the exact same thing!

Let's take a different example here. Grass. It's green. Now, what if someone asks why?

"It's green because it's green." That's not a reason. That's simply repeating yourself.

"It's green becasue of the chloroplasts in the cells." That's more of a reason, though it may be inaccurate (I never paid attention in Biology).


Sajin, all I want is for you to admit ignorance on the subject. That is, in fact, the entire point of the initial question. When someone who believes people choose their sexuality is questioned about it in this way, I've noticed that they freqently find themselves unable to think of a valid response. Rather than admit ignorance, however, they try to cover up their lack of knowledge with either confusing, meaningless bullshit or resort to a looping argument of "it is because it is". I honestly thought and hoped you'd admit not knowing the first time so we wouldn't get to this point.

...

ignorance

n : the lack of knowledge or education


Emphasis added by me.

And unlike you, I don't pretend to have a reason for why they're gay. I accept my ignorance on the subject - I do not know, and that doesn't bother me.

I dont pretend. I believe. Why cant you just understand and respect on my beliefs? I mean, Im not the one calling you ignorant because I dont know you. So why are you calling me ignorant?



Hm, yes, I think I see the problem.

You're misinterpreting the meaning of the term ignorant. You do not know. That is what it means in the way I am using it (hell, I even bolded that for you in my last post).You believe, but you do not know. Instead, you read it as me calling you stupid - admittedly, a common misconception. But ignorance is not entirely a bad thing; we all are missing some knowledge, some of us more than others, so we're all ignorant of some things.

Now that we've clarified that, back tot he question I posed. Why do you believe what you do?

I'm hoping for a thought-out post from you here. I don't want religion called into this, either - blind obedience, such as to a religion, is just as bad as blind disobedience, as either way you're depriving yourself of thought. I've explained my reason, Sajin, though it was in the context of a question. If you'd like, I can paraphrase and summarize it for you.

This is a debate forum, Sajin. People are expected to think. If you can't take that, then you shouldn't post here.

I have an open mind when people are willing to back up their beliefs with some sort of reason.

I also quote, this time the forum name: Debate Shrine.

Quote dictionary.com: A discussion involving opposing points; an argument.

There will be argument, and you will be expected to back up your opinions. It's part of debate.

Now, if you can't take that, I don't think you should be posting here.

Take all further debate about this into PMs, Sajin. It doesn't belong in this thread, and now you're only questioning my position as moderator and evading the actual topic.

Oh, you think this is "let's all hold hands and dance and sing and never debate anything" Shrine?

It's DEBATE Shrine. There will, as the name directly states, be debate. You know what debate involves, right? It involves discussion, not just people stating their beliefs and walking away. In discussion you will have to back up your points, otherwise there's nothing to discuss.

Now. Any future complaints about my moderation should be taken out of this thread so we can stop derailing it.

So after you ask me a question, and meanwhile me give you an answer, your still going to sit there and tell me that you dont understand my answer?
No, I'm telling you that it's not an answer. Saying that something is *adjective* because it is is NOT an answer.


Even though Gays are ridiculed all the time, dosent stop them from being gay. Thats like saying "Why do kids go to school even tho some of the kids get picked on"?
Here we go, something I can argue with. Going to school doesn't directly lead to the insults. You don't ever hear about people being picked on because they go to school, it's for other things. Maybe they wear glasses, maybe they have a weird voice, but it's never simply for going to school. So no, it's not like saying that.


Because they choose to. If you can explain that in a better logic, then go ahead. But right now, Im just going to laugh at this lack of logic you obviously dont have about other people's beliefs.
I THINK I smell an attempt at a personal attack. It got ruined, however, by your use of a double negative, which conveniently turned it into a compliment. Thanks for saying I have logic!

Some people are gay because they are born that way, some people are gay because they choose to be, and finally, some people are gay because they are forced into it.
again, a statement without a reason. But maybe you're going somewhere with this.


Now, lets....erm....summerize this.

If they are born that way: THey have options in front of them. They can suddendly choose to be gay, or perhaps they will turn a new leaf and become straight because they want to try something new. Again, theres a choice there. They chose to stay Gay. Like how I choose to type this. I diddnt have to, but I choose to
Actually, if it's genetic - that is, they're born that way - they don't really have much of a choice. Still, being born that way is an explanation by itself, so other than that little detail I can't really argue.

Because they choose to be: Nothing to really say here...But again, Choice
You again lack explanation here, Sajin. Why do you believe that some choose to be?

Because they are forced into it: They have a choice ot be forced, or take actions in their own hands....Once again....Choice
you have a choice... to be forced... that makes no goddamn sense.


NOW! Are we still going to babble on about my beliefs on gay choices? Or are we just going to continue to argue over something so....stupid....Even when we as humans, dont even understand how the mind works...

*Tsk Tsk Tsk*

Arguing about beliefs is exactly what this forum is for, Sajin, so long as it is kept civilized.

What personal attacks? When I called you ignorant? Hey, surprise, we all are! No one knows everything, we're all... I went over that earlier.

Prove it
While I can't technically prove it, I'm not asking for proof from you, I'm asking for a reason behind your belief. Therefore, I'll approach this as you asking the same.

People born retarded can't choose to change. Born black? Can't change that purely by choice (perhaps medically possible, but we're discussing choice here, not surgery). Born a midget? You can't just wake up and think "hey, I want to be taller" and magically grow to a normal height. So all these things tied, as far as I know, to genetics that can't be changed by choice... why would another thing caused by genetics be different?

You again lack explanation here, Sajin. Why do you believe that some choose to be?


How....Freaking....hard....is it to understand that Gay people can choose to stay Gay, or turn a new leaf? ^^
"understand" implies that a choice exists and is a fact, which has not been determined.


Originally posted by You

Wow, getting angry are we? Again, how hard is it to understand that when gay people are forced to be gay on them, they have a choice to stay gay, or if its not in their beliefs to be not gay, do something about it? Doing something, pertaining maybe choosing to talk to the people forcing gay relations with them....or whatever.
This is assuming that it is a choice, which is the matter we're debating. You cannot prove something true using the unproven matter that is being discussed, Sajin.

Your the one saying that im ignorant on the subject, telling me to admit I have ignorance on the subject when you yourself have yet to explain how the mind works..

I do not have to explain how the mind works, and I don't expect you to. All I expect is for you to explain the reasoning behind your beliefs.

Sajin, this is pointless. Not because I'm not changing your mind, but because there's no discussion here.

[01:46] Xeogred: basically why I tend to stay out of forums like that and Sunset
[01:47] Xeogred: no matter what, people are going to have their opinions that you can't change no matter what, it seems worthless to even try in my opinion (at times)
[01:47] BlademageCheveyo: but the thing is
[01:47] BlademageCheveyo: even if you can't change them
[01:47] BlademageCheveyo: if people would just be more rational, at least some interesting discussion would come of it
[01:47] BlademageCheveyo: and that's all I'm after.
[01:49] Xeogred: true

Sajin, you seem to not understand the purpose of a debate forum. And so you complain when we debate things, refusing to actually contribute.

Ah well. Maybe Vulkar will show up to defend you. I might get some actual discussion out of him.
