I can understand what the father felt but who isn`t without sin? Jesus didn`t forsake anyone and neither should we. There is no good/valid reason to cast anyone away or hate anyone for that is not the path.

You couldn't be more deluded.

The number of debates I've had with Rol where I conceded points to him because he was simply right. If nobody has changed their opinions towards you, it's maybe because you have some homework to do.

He's an orthodox christian. smfh @ "religious zealot side". You really have an issue.

Anyone here calling you a pro-gay zealot?? Seriously you should be moderated for that.

How could anyone not like Pokemon?!  Pokemon is absolutely awesome and I plan on getting Black and White 2, maybe even reviewing them if I get the chance. 

Thanks :) & yeah I was pleasantly surprised at the very high number of hands up. I don't think it'll be all that similar a stat outside of Uni circles, but if we look at trends I think the curve is definitely moving towards acceptance in most circles....I feel somewhere in the last 10 years there was kind of a tipping point.

This is a good page regarding homosexuality from the American Psychological Association. It covers many issues regarding homosexuality & the source is grounded in scientific evidence. As far as I know it's not influenced by religious, political or any other such factors.

The only thing influencing the source is the responsiblity it has to promote the mental, physical & social wellbeing of humans. 

Oh, I could be more deluded, but that's besides the point.  And how am I deluded?  People never change their opinions in online debates.  Even when utterly crushed under the weight of science, logic, and undeniable fact, I've never seen anyone say "you know, you're right!".  

Of course, "I've never seen" and "it never happens" aren't the same thing, but that's just arguing semantics.  the percentage of accepted losses to unaccepted losses is so unbalanced it's virtually true that nobody ever does.  

You like arguing semantics, don't you?  like that one time you said "being gay is a choice", and it took three pages of back and forth for you to amend your original statement to "in the cases where someone is inherently bisexual and chose to be monogamous, it is in fact possible for them to CHOSE which gender to stick with."  a good debate strategy, but it still doesn't change the fact that you can't chose to be gay.  

yeah, I've got the distinct impression I should be moderated for 90% of my actions...after all, it's totally rude and an act of flaming to tell someone that's wrong that they're wrong, or labelling someone accurately.  

What's this?  Scientific evidence and proof by noted researchers on the topic?  

In the spirit of Player1x3, I'll see your scientific proof and raise you one biased Fox News report, and for good measure mock your stance by smugly assuming superiority by claiming your report was biased or somehow faulty.  

I wasn't playing a strategy, you misunderstood my position from the start. The case of the bisexual, I stated it in different terms in my first post. So none of this was backpedaling in any way, you just jumped to conclusions too soon, and when it was made more clear to you, you were forced to concede. Not only did you jump to conclusions pre-emptively (because you're not actually committed to the debate), but you accused me of backpeddling, which is exactly the contrary of what I was doing.

It gets to a point where it's not even really interesting debating with you because it's more of a chore than anything. You jump too soon to conclusions because YOU have an agenda, not the other way around. Everytime you point the finger, there are 3 pointing back. Hence why it took me so long to tell you your faults, yet you have been slinging your gun since OP. 3 fingers don't point back to me because I take my time to accuse people of wrongdoing. You pull the trigger at first opportunity. Seriously, get a grip.

@next post. Flaming a user is wrong regardless. Keep yourself in check.
