opinions? The fact that sexual morals have changed over and over is not an opinion. The fact that your favorite bible kings had hundreds of sex slaves with polygamy being the norm of the day is not an opinion. The fact that religions fail and get replaced by other religions is not an opinion. You deny basic middle school history and call me a " self-righteous know-it-all?"

Your belief on how homosexuals should be treated is indeed an opinion. That's what I was getting at.

Starbuzzz wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:14

You don't want to get involved in the debate and I can understand why. So be it.

If that's true, I'm glad.

One such issue got solved this week in Congress fyi. We will move on and solve problems just fine just as we "solved" racism and women's rights. Despite the people who once stood against it and still do, we are better off now than before.

Good. But beside the point.

Starbuzzz wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:14

Plus, there is no harm in discussing these here.

Of course. Satisfied

You seem to mistake discussion as some some form of infectious "propaganda" out to chnage your opinion! wow...

Your post earlier was not even close to neutral. It was heavily laced with pride and contempt. If I heard you speak it face-to-face, it would disgust me.
You have valid points, but speaking them the way you do indicates you're not out to change anyone's thoughts, you're out to rub it in their faces.

Many traumatized victims of crimes end up fighting for a cause against the crime. The internet is a suitable medium in this day among many others and there is no harm in disussing important issues. It is only a matter of time I see myself speaking openly in public about what I have endured so far. You seem to mistake me as using only this internet forum; how do you know that I have not contacted and am in touch with powerful organizations that can help me?

If it's just for expression and not to start a fight, then it's great.
I'd think that if you did get in touch with a "powerful organization," it would be something you'd share, anyhow.

When you live under a tyranny and are dragged to a mosque, forced to worship facing mecca 5 times a day, and continualy mind-raped over and over and forced to believe something you can't, you would take to doing the same; using any communication medium to get your voice heard and speak out against the tyrants. It doesn't matter if they are the victims of rape, pedopilia, torture, or any other forms of tyranny.

I understand what you mean.

Starbuzzz wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:14

So your statment of a person changing under pressure is irrelavent. Yes, they do. Some end up adapting to the pressure and some fight against it in anyway they can. I am obviously the latter. It's as silly as asking the persecuted chinese bloggers to quit whining about their freedom because they can't influence anbody. Yeah, they can and they are making the world know of their problems. Because not everyone leads a comfortable life with basic civil rights insured such as you.

Assuming I do? Although you're correct. Unfortunately.

After the "mile-long-post" which clearly unsettled you,

Starbuzzz wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:14

you made a one-liner about me "throwing a mile long post about politics and religion." Why did you do that first? Considering that was not all aimed at anyone in particular.

It was more of a surprised response on how eloquent you suddenly became on the subject... as if you were waiting for a long time to express yourself.
Yeah, my "one-liner" was poorly worded, I admit.

Starbuzzz wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:14

Have a nice holidays, Altzan. Maybe during this quiet time, you will finally think about all the people who are not as well-off as you elsewhere in the world and would finally stop whining about being insulted.

Firstly, thanks. I hope you do as well.
Second, go ahead and view it as whining. Perhaps it is. But a discussion laced with such obscenities isn't a worthy discussion in my book. Or a discussion at all.

Spoony wrote on Fri, 24 December 2010 09:29

the internet, by contrast, is great. not much censorship, much more accessible to people than the Bible used to be when the churches really had things their own way. long live e-debates!

Oh, I agree. Perhaps I wasn't really clear on what I meant. I just thought it wasn't as good as other websites or groups.
But as Starbuzzz said, he might have done so anyway.

I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker. ~Voltaire
