You are being a bigot by not accepting other people's points of view..

I'm fine being called a bigot if it's because I'm not tolerant of intolerance toward something that does no harm.

Does no harm??

You must respect other people's points of view without feeling the need to insult them...

I respect other people's right to have their own points of view. I most certainly don't have to respect that point of view--though perhaps I shouldn't have insulted him. Would you respect the point of view that we should be able to keep slaves?

Also, re: no harm. Being gay or having gay relations, normally (assuming there's no rape involved or similar), does no one no harm assuming both people are consenting.

Thanks for the parenting lesson bro. I think I've got this under control.
I find it funny that so many people on this thread feel the need to tell me how to raise my son. I guess that's why people don't fall prey to these bait threads. If someone doesn't answer the politically correct way, they have to answer questions about why they are so hateful, close minded, etc. Just as I've had to do with everyone from a very liberal user to now a libertarian user. Goes to show you that, no matter their lean, deep down most people just want everyone else to believe like them and damn the person that doesn't.

No, you're certainly free to raise your kid to be as intolerant as you, that's your freedom. Just realize that you're a dinosaur and your kid will be one of the odd ones out in his generation.

Your position wouldn't even make since if you were consistent about it, but you're not. Your kid still goes to school, still watches TV, and still uses the internet. All of this is jam packed with sin. I'm just sad for him that he'll probably inherit your intolerance instead of learning to be a real christian by loving sinners anyway, as your boy Jesus taught. I don't remember Jesus hiding from sinners. Pretty hard to preach to sinners when you refuse to be around them.

You're a hypocrite.

Umm, apparently you didn't get my point, or are purposefully avoiding it. You wouldn't respect the point of view that people should be put to death for jay-walking would ou?

Um, you just avoided my question/point again. I don't know why you think I'm trying to bait you. I'm asking these questions in the hopes that you'll agree we don't have to respect all points of view.

The word ''Bigot'' is usually related to racial/religious/sexuality issues..

Not if you like/dislike chickens...

Again, what are you talking about? I know what the word bigot is normally related to. Besides, I didn't use the word to describe you, so I don't know how that word was supposedly baiting you. What's this bit about chickens? Are you calling me a chicken?

Forgive me for not realizing you weren't replying to the post you'd quoted. Regardless, you apparently don't get my point, or are ignoring it. My point had nothing to do with the usage of the word bigot.

Look it up if your interested. Simple fact is there are going to be gay men that are not interested in being a leader for the girl scouts and would rather join the boy scouts. Has nothing to do with an attraction to little boys like you want to claim.

Yes they are..usually by the companies that pay sh*t wages..the only other option is welfare..where you are humiliated..given food stamps..and told what you can or cannot spend them on...

Slavery was over 200 years ago...Black people still harp on about it..play the race card..hell..we were slaves in England 200 years ago..children sent up chimneys..Agricultural workers living in hedges...and if you were really lucky..you got to see the inside of a workhouse...

It's so interesting that people are worried about that kind of thing with gay men. I doubt most people would assume a woman is interested in young boys if she were to be a counselor at a boy scout camp.

What else would it be then...wanting to pass on their macho skills???

And I never claimed that they may have an attraction to little boys..(your words!!)

Do you do realize that the point of me asking if you'd respect the point of view that we should be able to keep slaves wasn't to make any kind of point about slavery, right?

Then why did you respond like you did to it originally? Were you simply letting me know your were going to ignore the comment. Were you trying to say it was a silly statement that I'd made? For a straight talking woman you seem to take a pretty curved path as far as I can tell.
