General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Comrade Khan]

Loudly opposing and ostricizing racism and hate does a hell a lot more than sitting on your ass abd accepting it as normal. Fuck that, some of us value what's right over ppl being uncomfortable hearing the ugly truth

 

[Dakstang]

A key part of existing is a society is co-existing. Not, "IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME YOU SHOULD BE SILENCED!"

 

[Comrade Khan]

Thats my rant love yall

 

[Dakstang]

But anyway.....

 

[Barry Poppins]

Dak, this isn't an issue where you and I disagree on 2nd Amendment Rights, because I don't care what people think on that as long as they aren't forcing their opinions. When someone however tries to tell me, "These people do not deserve any rights like marriage or even the barest of respect laid upon them, because they are gay, or transgender." Then I will openly take up opposition and outwardly show contempt.

 

[Dakstang]

It depends on what you consider those so called 'rights' to be. We all have the same rights.

 

[Barry Poppins]

I do not believe gay rights or trans rights are a Democrat vs. Republican issue, I believe is it a right to live like any other heterosexual person, with respect and dignity.

 

[Dakstang]

I in no way support anyone being bothered or harassed for being gay or transgender. However, I also don't support indoctrinating kids to believe a certain way either.

[Dakstang]

The huge problem with your line of thinking is what people consider 'respect and dignity' is subjective. There are not set guidelines for that.

I personally don't agree with the idea that telling kids that Gay or Transgender people that they are like any other person and should be treated equally is indoctrination though. What I believe *is* indoctrination is enforcing draconian religious beliefs before they are at the age of reasonable discussion and debate. But that is just me, and that's okay.

See...that is problem with your argument though. It is not cut and dry or white and black.

 

[Dakstang]

As long as people are not being persecuted, harassed, or something like that.....I see that as treating them respect.
