And how on earth does a colorful TL-Logo prevent you from reading and watching sc2 content??

If people are so scared of this thread but completely unable to avoid it should we just ban them so they don't have to suffer through it? It seems like that's what they want...

If you don't want your opinions or yourself to be judged I suggest you keep them to yourself. If you voice them then people will respond. That's fine, judge away. I just would like think people on here would be kind enough to not name call when someone is explaining their opinion. Is that too much to ask? If I think your opinion is dumb and you provide crappy evidence to back it up, I am likely to call you dumb. I don't think personal experiences are a crappy way to support your own some of your opinions. My experience talking to you is a great way to form an opinion on your intelligence but a shitty way to form an opinion on tl. Likewise your experience talking to your neighbours is a shitty way to form an opinion on homosexuality within society. But he is not forming an opinion on homosexuality on society he is stating that he dosent like how certain homosexuals act. Or am i missing something here? "I don't hate black people, I just dislike the ones that act so damn niggerish." "I don't hate gay people, I just hate faggots." Notice how neither is really a valuable input to the conversation, and both are self contradictory? Lets rephrase them both to make them less inflammatory and more informative: "I don't hate black people as long as they act white!" "I don't hate gay people as long as they act straight!" This is what that "viewpoint" boils down to. Yeah, no.. it's not hatred towards the person based upon things that are out of their control. It's more based upon hating someone for the things that they can control--like behavior (crazy flaming gay dude, mad gangster/thug black or white dude, the list could just about go on forever) Well put.
Except what he is really saying is that he hates things that are different from himself. The flaming gay guy? Doesn't affect you. The black thug? Doesn't affect you. Hating someone for being something is what bigots do.
If the flaming gay guy runs up and grabs your junk? That is sexual assault. Ok to hate. The thug shoots up your car? A felony, ok to hate.
But then you would be hating rapists and murderers, mot gays and thugs, which is fine.

In response to this I will say this.
Fucking deal with it. I don't like my next door neighbor's loud kids or their daughter and her fights with her boyfriend in the driveway. But I silently deal with them.

The banner tells you what to think? The next banner is going to have a "donate to manifesto" sign on it then.

So you can rightfully hate people who judge people based on their perceived mannerisms? Because I'm pretty sure you can control the behavior of being a judgmental prick. Should we also hate children for not being like us? Should we hate foreign exchange students for not having a masters in English before they arrive?
You can hate whatever you want. Unfortunately most hate is unfounded, and is therefore not a very solid foundation for a discussion or participation in an argument.
Let me give you a short list of examples to hate people:
1. They killed your family
2. They raped your significant other
3. They hurt your children
4. They burned down your house
5. Gay
6. They destroyed your future
7. They trimmed your bonsai
Which of these is not like the others?

Or even better: if you come to TL to "read/watch sc2" wtf are you doing in a General thread which is named "The Rainbow TL-logo"? The hint that it wasn't under Starcraft 2 was too subtle?

Except I fucking never said I hated anyone, dude. I was just explaining my viewpoint on why it is that some people hate other people. I personally agree with you completely. It's the actions one makes that he should be judged for, not what he or she is.

If he keeps it do himself and doesn't voice it out loud for me to read, sure. If not, well then I well tell him he is wrong. That is how opinions work.

That's fine, judge away. I just would like think people on here would be kind enough to not name call when someone is explaining their opinion. Is that too much to ask? If I think your opinion is dumb and you provide crappy evidence to back it up, I am likely to call you dumb. I don't think personal experiences are a crappy way to support your own some of your opinions. My experience talking to you is a great way to form an opinion on your intelligence but a shitty way to form an opinion on tl. Likewise your experience talking to your neighbours is a shitty way to form an opinion on homosexuality within society. But he is not forming an opinion on homosexuality on society he is stating that he dosent like how certain homosexuals act. Or am i missing something here? "I don't hate black people, I just dislike the ones that act so damn niggerish." "I don't hate gay people, I just hate faggots." Notice how neither is really a valuable input to the conversation, and both are self contradictory? Lets rephrase them both to make them less inflammatory and more informative: "I don't hate black people as long as they act white!" "I don't hate gay people as long as they act straight!" This is what that "viewpoint" boils down to. Yeah, no.. it's not hatred towards the person based upon things that are out of their control. It's more based upon hating someone for the things that they can control--like behavior (crazy flaming gay dude, mad gangster/thug black or white dude, the list could just about go on forever) Well put. Except what he is really saying is that he hates things that are different from himself. The flaming gay guy? Doesn't affect you. The black thug? Doesn't affect you. Hating someone for being something is what bigots do. If the flaming gay guy runs up and grabs your junk? That is sexual assault. Ok to hate. The thug shoots up your car? A felony, ok to hate. But then you would be hating rapists and murderers, mot gays and thugs, which is fine. So does hating an obnoxious douchebag attitude make me a bigot?
If the flaming gay person directly annoying you or interacting with you? If the answer is no, then you are being as asshole. If the answer is yes and he won't leave you alone, then the flaming gay guy is a jerk.
It not ok to hate people for who they are and that they exist. If they annoy you or are obnoxious, then its ok to dislike them.

This is what that "viewpoint" boils down to. No, I dislike smoking, do I hate smokers? Acting non obnoxious and keeping to yourself =/= acting straight. In response to this I will say this. Fucking deal with it. I don't like my next door neighbor's loud kids or their daughter and her fights with her boyfriend in the driveway. But I silently deal with them. And perhaps then you can "fucking deal with it" regarding his personal opinion? If he keeps it do himself and doesn't voice it out loud for me to read, sure. If not, well then I well tell him he is wrong. That is how opinions work.
So you are agreeing with me?
