Akvod,

1. I think your ideas are lame and they hurt my eyes and i feel my IQ dropping by even considering them. I keep responding because I hope you will give up on your endeavors to have a e-pissing match with an OP in a thread which you choose to be a part of because you are unwilling to understand the concept of others having different views than you do.

2. I was close to being allowed to say I am proud was I? well whooop-de-fuckin-doo Akvod almost gave me consent to not shut down the thread because it offends him so.

3. Does this use words small enough for you to understand?
"The word pride is used in this case an antonym for shame, which has been used to control and oppress LGBT persons throughout history. Pride in this sense is an affirmation of ones self and the community as a whole."

I mean, that is great and all, but to many it is still so much more.

You're pathetic. Akvod found a hole in your logic and instead of trying to defend yourself rationally, you resort to almost racist comments. What does Akvod's heritage have to do with this? So what if he is Japanese? Grow up.

You are recycling the same old crap every single post, so do everyone a favour and shut up or find a way to express your thoughts that doesn't involve you making an idiot out of yourself. May I suggest the former.

1. It's extremely ironic that you say I'm the one unwilling to listen and understand other people's concepts when you don't even take the time to adress my points and tell me why I'm wrong and why I'm right. Instead you resort to ad hominem attacks, and personal insults.

2. To the contrary, I want you to continue the thread by having a conversation with me. I probably have prolonged this thread if anything, by continuing to post in here and bumping it. Everyone, regardless of their position, should be pro-discussion and free speach. Science has been built upon the exchange of knowledge and information, hence why I think the internet is one of, if not the, biggest inventions of man kind.

3. You can still not be ashamed without having to proud about something. I got this from wikipedia (If you don't like the source, please post the Merriam-Webster definition please: Pride is, depending upon context, either a high sense of the worth of one's self and one's own or a pleasure taken in the contemplation of these things. One definition of pride in the first sense comes from Augustine: "the love of one's own excellence." [1] In this sense, the opposite of pride is humility.

I don't see why one will feel great and feel that they're excelent just by their pure existence and the qualities that they were born with (skin color, sexual orientation, family name, etc). I feel that one must go out and live their life, and by actions distinguish themselves and create their self worth. Feeling of excellence, over something they were born with (such as family name) either makes you complacent, or superior over those who weren't born with those qualities (supereme race).

=============================

But I'm not going to bump this thread up anymore. You clearly refuse to have a conversation with me, and exchange your knowledge and opinions with me, and to even read my point of views and opinions. This is turning out to be unproductive, as we're both having a monologue at this point.

I just want to end by saying I respect you as a person, I think you have good intentions, and although I disagree with your point of view I'm eager to hear your side and arguments.
