Re: On gay marriage, America's house may not stay divided for long
This exemplifies the problem with many posts from "antis" on this topic. They confuse providing facts with encouraging. In our schools, providing facts, such as teaching that there is nothing dangerous about homosexuality (there IS something dangerous about risky sexual behavior regardless of orientation) and that homosexuality is not a disorder (proven through research since the '60's), amongst other pieces of information does not equate to promoting it any more than providing information about sexual activity promotes having sex. There is no reason to promote any kind of sexual activity or orientation. They exist. It is the school's job to provide information, which is what they do.
Well, I am sure you feel providing condoms are not encouraging kids to have sex either. If you handed out candy bars, think that might encourage them to eat them?
I am sure that you feel it justified that when schools go into direct opposition to many parents, as well as their churches, who are trying to, have the exclusive full right to, teach their kids about morality as they see it…then the majority of school children, being public school students, attend where they teach otherwise, in direct contradiction to their parents and their faith. I am sure you must think this sexual, as well as all the other confusions, confusion that is inevitably created is good for kids.
Our kids need none of this information provided in our schools and you know it.
What, to you, is not encouragement we would certainly differ on. Besides which, I have seen it proven to you on here, that the decision to withdraw homosexuality as a disorder was far more a political decision than anything else.
You having brought it up, I would also suggest, tho a bit off topic here, that since we have been giving explicit sex education classes that these, indeed, have taken away much of the anxiety, the fear that was associated with sex to the uninitiated. This encouraged far more promiscuity among those student populations. So education along with its
co-horts in crime, our heavily degenerate and left biased mass media… as well as openly disgraceful conduct of many of our leaders [ think BJs didn’t become a lot more common, almost ubiquitous, with under aged boys and girls after the BJ Clinton/Monica episode? ] we have an unneccessarily sexed up student population...like they needed more encouragement. Under aged/teenage sex does not hurt anything either, right? Just leads to more sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, depression/frustration/dissatisfaction long term and living in poverty for most of those who choose to keep their children in that unfortunate circumstance.
IT IS NOT A SCHOOL’S JOB TO INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDREN WITH YOUR SIDE'S BELIEF SYSTEMS. Anymore than you might not support, if the other side got its way and took over education the way the left has then started teaching, say religious beliefs… Your belief system should not hold sway just because there was a vacuum created, sorry.
This is interesting. I have debated this topic for quite some time and have always found it to be the dogmatic conservatives who have little knowledge on this topic, argue positions using logical fallacies, and make ad homs when backed into a corner after their arguments have been debunked. There are plenty of threads on this topic that prove me correct on this.
Yeah, well, you have not debated many folks on that “other side” very much then. I also am aware from previous debate, that anything you do not believe magically becomes a "logical fallacy". Ad homs and straw men are the libs go to arguments, besides the “just shut up, you racist, homophobe, misogynist…”you can take your pick from a long list of the shut-up-added-to-ad homs utilized by libs. Why don’t you go back and add up all the ad homs by libs vs cons and divide by how many of from each side....and I am pretty sure there will be far more by libs. But you can prove me wrong, its your statement to back up or not. My impression is you won’t.
It is important to not confuse one's beliefs with factual information. You certainly can believe what you want; that does not mean that these beliefs translate into facts.
Right back at ya Cap’n.:agree
