• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Homosexuality

    So we had a discussion on this in Theology today, which was a very bad idea cause it was scary intense. On a related note, my Theology textbook would like to make me point out the epic fail that homosexuality =/= transsexuality. One of the sentences in there seriously said "some may feel...

    Actually, I think this isn't a bad idea at all! The kids are learning from a young age that a homosexual couple can raise a kid just as well as a straight couple, and it may help this generation overcome their parents' prejudice. (also that blog is stupid, they weren't trying to make an egg...

    Homosexuality

    So, back to DADT: Has anyone else heard of the phrase "Majority rule, minority rights"? I think it really applies here. Most of those in office are heterosexual, correct? I don't know if that would be considered "majority", seeing as that may or may not be representative of the US population as...

    Zeta: I said they'd know it was normal for a homosexual person; I didn't mean for my post to have any connotation regarding whether one would be flattered by it. Pwnemon: ...I hope to God that you're not implying that homosexuals aren't "good enough to be part of society."

    Actually, the public school system kinda sucks, so perhaps getting rid of it (or, rather, just revamping it altogether) would be a good idea.

    Homosexuality

    to be specific, not to homophobes. My crush's and my best friend is heterosexual and she knows that him crushing on other guys all the time is perfectly normal. We all do, really. (hell, my female cousin's had a girlfriend since I don't eve know when (a heck of a long time) and my entire...

    Homosexuality

    I saw that in my newspaper and my immediate reaction was "wtf republicans nooooooooo" My representative says that he doesn't think it's a representative of what the people want, though, so...? (he's totally for it. also, for the record, he's an Iraq war vet, so anyone who says "no soldiers want...

    Homosexuality

    why is it that on every single homosexuality-related article I read all the comments are homophobic? DADT is absolutely ridiculous and seems to be founded on the idea that homosexuals would...er, attempt to force themselves on the other soldiers, which is absolutely discriminatory and 95% pure...

    Homosexuality

    Not yet, you can burn it next semester :D This is incredibly sad though. I think one of my teachers told my sister that if one person in a couple can't have children, then they can't get married. Which is just, you know, stupid. there was a bit where I thought i was bi but then decided i...

    this is sad. but i think most of the comments are even worse, since most of them are like "who cares" and a bunch are even commending the school for taking a stand. the third comment, though, was actually very thoughtful, and kinda shows the hypocrisy of the church: "Isn't the rite of...

    I don't think he meant "feminizing" in that sense. Perhaps in this sense?

    Homosexuality

    Wow, you make it seem like we humans created evil. Do keep in mind that all forms of Christianity (and Judaism) agree that it technically was all Satan's fault. Granted, people do horrible stuff sometimes, but as I said, Christianity says that it's Satan trying to convince you to do evil. You...

    Homosexuality

    Let's try to put this into political terms. Just for a change of pace: Segregation isn't allowed (at least in the US), right? If that is the case, then why should heterosexuals be allowed to sleep with whoever they want, when homosexuals can't? Going back to religion, if God put the idea of...

    there's actually legitimate reasons given elsewhere (book of amos comes to mind); uh, none of them actually give homosexuality as a reason. fundies, your argument = destroyed.

    Homosexuality

    Technically marriage was always a civil ceremony, Christianity just decided to say "IF YOU GET MARRIED IT HAS TO BE BLESSED BY THE CHURCH OR GOD DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT" because the Church is weird. thus the Church has no right to say that marriage is only between a man and a woman. (also really...

    I was trying to figure that out yesterday as well. I'm thinking maybe cause some idiot homophobe's afraid of getting hit on/raped by a guy while on duty.

    Homosexuality

    I think the entire church is guilty of this one. We were in Theology class one day and somehow we got on the topic of gay marriage and my teacher said that the church doesn't accept gay marriage but civil unions are fine. I definitely heard civil unions being defined as granting the couple all...

    ...these are species-wide. not just random animals. it's normal for the entire species. And I repeat: "normal" is entirely subjective. what's normal for you may not be normal for someone else. you know something? maybe its normal for them.

    so now that we're adding stuff on mental disorders into this debate too, can i add something a bit off topic to the thread's main issue but mainly relating to the whole mental-disorder thing? one of my friends has asperger's. she is seriously the sweetest human being on the face of the planet...

    As I stated before, who are you to say that something is or is not "normal"? this kind of stuff actually was normal in certain cultures; ancient Greece comes to mind. (pederasty: look it up) and, uh, you do know that it's completely normal in the animal kingdom, right? please tell me how that...
