so instead of clearing up the confusion, you refuse? ok... seems like you don't want to have a discussion...

well holy bugaroo... rather than demand acceptance, we can choose tolerance... its like this man knows that rome wasn't built in a day... change takes time and you cant force your views onto someone... and then if they disagree shaming them is not the right approach... what a simple and easy to understand concept... shame hardly ever works as a learning tool... we all have learned don't stick your dogs nose in its shit, or yelling at people in public is not tolerated, it makes people uncomfortable... it should be no different online... many of you will laugh at my dog reference... but their are some simple minded people in this world, 15% have a IQ lower than 85... smart dogs have an estimated IQ of 100...so yeah... maybe you should think before you try forcing your views onto someone, especially not knowing if they have the ability to fully grasp the concepts that you are arguing.... Stop being intolerant and understand change takes time... it takes a very long time... always has... maybe the internet has sped up change, but it still takes time... a few phrases come to mind... mind your own...treat those how you would want to be treated... and respect your elders... if you want to be a activist or a contributing member to a movement... do something tangible about it... donate your time, raise funds for charities, raise "positive awareness". stop flinging mud it only further divides and possibly causes permanent and irreversible damage... have some compassion, you're better than that

the thread title should be changed to reflect that this thread is not a place where civil discourse is wanted... this is obviously a shame thread

hey the feelings mutual... i wish you were not posting too

certainly... but wars can be avoided.... especially when you are already winning the fight...

just because i preach it does not make me immune... but yes... i think i spend the most time being civil in this thread

sorry alf... expecting people to support ideologies without free will... is never gonna happen... we will have civil war before that happens... i do like cookies... though

i wish you would re-word this... the sentences don't really tie together... you support rules and policies that.....reflect reasonableness of a belief?

that was until some sad people gave me the brown bag.... you see... shaming people doesn't achieve the intention you seek... maybe you would understand that if you read any of my evidence i provided

are you so sure about what's the popular opinion?

nope.... wrong again...you have the right to express your freedom at any time...including during work...your employer may not like that, and if they deem it interferes with their duties they would have a right to terminate,,, if it was deemed that it was not interfering they would not have the right to force beliefs or ideals... and that's the truth

if you shame people, for not participating... is that part of the education?

You cant force people... you cant... its impossible... stop expecting the impossible...

I have no issue with two men making out on tv... i will change the channel if its over bearing ... also i guess that gay or bi-sexual men probably enjoy it. i'm guessing some women might even like it too. it seems companies support these movements because it cheap advertising... make no mistake... in a capitalist world its always about the money... Political movements are here to stay and will only increase in volume.... but forcing support i dont agree with... anyways its your dollar.. spend it how you want

anyways... tempers are raised... im not even get started... i have stated enough of my arguments in this thread... no need for me to participate on a day like this.. as for some of you being very clearly sending a message of intolerance the LGBTQ and sending bad vibes.... I will give the same treatment that i always do to people that are toxic.... these homophobic remarks do not belong on this thread.... the thought of gay marriage is also a ideal, made by man.... written thousands of years ago... when families needed several children to populate the world... which is no longer the case and is an antiquated thought... it may be a problem if homosexuality continues to becomes much more popular... currnetly 10% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ... and historically they have very few children

@DeNiro @Shayster007 i apologize i assumed we were having a civil conversation before i entered... if you were getting triggered because of some obvious hate... which i agree know that was homophobic... i understand why you may have been using these words... my apologies... I want you to know, i hope the best for the pride movement... just dont think it can be forced onto anyone

I was wrong... this thread has some gross statements in here.... im talking about homophobic slurs

insulting my intelligence, how quaint... i would say you are in the vast minority in thinking this is not an political or idealistic view of thinking.... anyways... forcing idealistic views on people when has that ever gone wrong in history.....

anyways this is only a good thing.. forcing people to believe a certain way is backwards... you can disagree all you want, thats your right... just like its these boys right to not want to wear a rainbow in support of something... they can respect the message, but i believe its the flag that bothers them... hence removing the rainbow and keeping the message. Like I said earlier in this thread... You cannot force an ideology down someone's throat... which is exactly what this is... i have given you evidence why forcing this ideology on to people wont work... I have given you evidence on why shaming these people that do not agree with your ideology, does not work... How do you plan on achieving this idealic state? Jail? deportation? because shame is not working.... which i hate to say.... but i told you so.

what claims.... you prove my point

sorry ill edit it... its very clearly political... painfully obvious

maybe... is that all the instances in this thread? because the reason i doubted that statement is because this thread has been much more civil on the right side of the debaters

im not going to spend 10 hours fighting with you, because you cannot see how this is a political movement... the fact that people are arguing against it is proof enough...

when have they used that terms? cause i dont think anybody has...

they changed the jersey to not include supporting a particular political movement and made it more representitive of everyones feelings.... This is the way!
