Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion.
For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. |

Ugh, this "I'm Christian, homexuality is wrong, but it's ok I don't do anything about it" attitude is really annoying and condescending.
It's people with those mindsets who 50 years ago in America would be like "well, I don't believe Blacks are evil or anything, but it's right that there are separate sections in buses/restaurants"
Thankfully the 2nd case is no longer socially acceptable to say on a public forum, and hopefully the same will happen to the first case in time.
And it *was* used to justify segregation and slavery in the past.
The story of Ham and Canaan, for example, was used like the one random passage in leviticus today. Canaan was "blackened by sin". He and all his descendants who settled "in the south and west" were to be slaves to other men. Bam, enslavement of Africans justified by god. And plenty of passages were similarly twisted to justify denying woman's rights, segregation, etc etc.
Hopefully one day we'll move past this and be able to accept each other. Because let's be frank, there's a *lot* of other "abominations" in the bible that no one seems to care about.

In the Old Testament, it seems to have something to do with being unproductive. There was one poor guy who got strike down by lightning becuase he did not cum inside a woman and wasted his seed as a result.
And I believe we should cancel out the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Jesus either contradicts the OT or reinforces the rules he sees fit. For example, do not kill. Jesus says that you should not only kill people, but if you hate someone, you have already commited murder. I am trying to remember what Jesus said about gays but he definately spoke against the rich and did not think too well of divorce.
So my conclusion is, if we gays cannot marry, then you cannot divorce.
unproductiveness is bad for any religion because they lose adherents (power), i dont want to derail it too much but thats also the reason why they forbid condoms in africa despite hiv + numbers of >50% in some areas

oh thank goodness, this has finally become a religious debate so it can finally be closed.
there are times and places for this, possibly even threads, but this is not one of them:

I am so disappointed. Numerous requests have been made throughout this thread to keep it away from religion and other similar off-topics. The blatant disrespect of these new posters is frustrating.

I do not know from which forums you came from, but this kind of behaviour is not welcomed at TL.net. While reading an entire 50 page thread is not a reasonable request, reading the past 5 pages is necessary in order to have valid participation.
If i was a mod, this would be an official warning. Read the TL.net 10 commandments, it will ensure your stay here is not short-lived.

I have actually read the whole thread, believe it or not.
My apologies to you, Mora, for being stirred into replying to stuff when it wasn't the idea of the thread.

An odd question on how to handle a situation. A girl friend (a girl who is just a friend not gf) has a new gay friend and brings him out to meet myself and other friends at the bar. The two of them arrive she introduces him and mentions hes gay. The 1st thing out of his mouth is "yup i love the dick" its down hill from there. Hes loud, irritating and it gets worse as he starts drinking. 45s mins later i tell my friends im out and my female friend asks me why. So i tell her i cant stand tht guy you brought. She goes straight to i dont like him cuz hes gay and im a bigot. I try to tell her thts not the case i just dont like people who are loud d-bags. Shes not having it and its hurting our relationship. now as i will try to explain here I have no problem with gay ppl. I was in the navy for 4 years and the army for 3 i worked around gay people all the time ( oddly the army has MUCH more of a gay community than the navy who woulda thought right?) I never had an isssue. We all got along fine. I honestly dont care at all. But look if she had brought a friend who came in and said "hey im tom and i love eating the pussy!" and proceeded to get drunk and loud i would have left just the same. Im 26 I no longer go to the bar to get smashed and loud. I go to tht bar cuz beers are a dollar and pool only cost 75 cents as apposed to 1.25 down the street. I know for a fact this isnt how "gays" act, its how assholes act regardless of your sexual preference. How does one handle a situation like this without damaging the friendship and being labeled a gay hater? Or do i just have to give this guy a pass to be a tool because he is gay to save face?
ps: im something of a blunt person. and have little ability to handle thing delicately ( I blame being in the military since i was 17! =P) and am hoping with all the xp on this thread someone would know how to handle this tyvm for helping!

Also I read through the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages of this thread since there wasn't an ALL function, and did not see a strict no religion policy in this thread. As a matter of fact kickboxer mentions religion thoroughly and you did not seem mad at all about it.
I didn't mean to de-rail the thread...
It was a legitimate question regarding how frustrating it sometimes gets when you're rights are forbidden not because of some scientific or logical reasoning but due to something else..
If you thought it was a douchebag move that deserves to be banned please explain why..

Page 51 has me politely (and maybe too subtlety?) asking people to not derail the thread. De-railing responses continue, but with apologies. Then [seem] to stop until your post.
I was more frustrated than i should've been. 'was very annoying.
edit - I understand the validity of your question and that you weren't attempting to troll, but the question is not appropriate for this thread because any answer will provoke future responses on that topic - which do not coincide with the intentions of the thread (see the last few pages. lol)

Religion discussion is generally frowned upon regardless of thread, since it's impossible to have a good discussion when the views you hold cannot be explained or argued against because it's your belief.

Well I really had no intention of derailing the thread. I'm sorry Mora.

Dear Mora 
I know you said that you were into more manly, big men. (on my iPhone right now so I can't really check your list :p ) but one of my best friends was on the cover in GayCalgary magazine awhile back. This is not trying set you up by any means but just wondering what you think of men like that.
Here is the link if you wanted to check it out

Thanks for creating this awesome thread Mora :D

Bleh...I am sorry Mora. I tried start my daily reading of this thread with good intentions and even tried to impress you but I can see that I did quite the opposite. I am really really sorry. I will reflect upon my actions. T___T

He's not 'exactly' my type, but he certainly qualifies.
Do your favourite gay TL.netian a favour and hook us up? lol
i have pictures if he'd like to see! i'm some hot west coast canadian bacon. I'd post them right here, but i'm not sure what the mods would think. (or everyone who actually knows me in real life who reads this forum who don't want to see me in my underwear? lololol)
Spoilers maybe? hmmmm

sweet holy jesus i feel like a douchebag. everyone stop apologizing and just get on topic. lol
Question for the other gays on tl.net: how old are you?
The gay sc nerd duckling that i used to be has grown into quite a responsible life-consumed mallard. I wouldn't be able to imagine 8 years ago who i am today, nor would i be able to fathom how comfortable i am in my own skin and with my environment at large.
Where on the spectrum are most tl.netians sitting (this can go for non-gays, too!)?
Where are the ducklings and where are the mallards? (or maybe another type of billed animal?)

Whether you're talking religion or not, everything eventually comes down to "believing" that something is "right or wrong", and not having evidence for it.
If I asked someone to objectively prove to me that murder/rape/incest/stealing/etc. is "wrong", no one would be able to do it. In fact, the Socratic method would very quickly destroy any sort of logic or reasoning that people would try to use to "prove" that these things are right/wrong. In the end it all comes down to the gut feelings you have about certain behaviors, actions, lifestyles, etc....there IS no logic or reasoning that supports this.
People act like religion instantly turns an otherwise "intelligent" discussion into a ranting, illogical slanderfest; that CAN be the case, but as far as I'm concerned, all the philosophies, logic, and reasoning that people use outside of religion are religions in themselves - they have no objective proof, no logical backup, and basically rely on your belief/faith/acceptance in their principles.
Look at all the different types of logic, the different systems of ethics, the different types of evidence/support you can use, and you will find that they're basically a bunch of religions...people just don't like using that word for them.
Bottom line: any "views" you hold in a "good discussion" don't really have evidence or logical backup at all; when you get to the very foundation of WHY you believe that something is good/bad/neutral/etc., you will find that it IS just a "core belief" (i.e. a "gut feeling" or notion that you have inside you).

Women with large breasts. But you don't see my making a thread named ''i want to play sc2 with other people that like women with large breasts.''
Honestly I don't think what your sexual preferences really matters when your just playing sc2.
In truth I think you just want some drama.
