Jonny. Crusading for Decency.
Oh, dear. It seems that someone let another one of those crazed self-
righteous homophobic Aussie assholes of of his cage again. Will someone
please call the dog-catcher? To all the regular Aussies out there, my
apologies...I don't mean to insinuate that *all* of you are crazed,
self-righteous homophobic assholes, just this one.
Ok...down to business here. Johnny, before you start trying to 'prove'
anything with genetics, I suggest you go back to school and learn the
subject. Have you ever heard of recessive genes? I thought not. You see,
the basic idea is that *your parents don't have to have a particular trait
for you to inherit it!* It's possible to inherit stuff that you didn't
even know about! Examples: baldness, color-blindness, etc...and maybe
even homosexuality! You see, the biological jury is still out on that one.
Johnny, the experiment I'd *really* like to perform is to lock you and
Ted Kaldis in a room with two females and see if *they* don't turn to
homsexuality...I can't imagine any woman wanting to be touched be either
of you two. Would you consider *that* proof that homosexuality is natural?
I'm not suggesting you or T*d open your butt-cheeks to homosexuality, just
your minds. Why are you so threatened? I've brought up this thread with some
friends of mine (incidentally, *none* of us are homosexual), and every single
one of them made comments like "isn't it true that those most opposed to
homosexuality are very afraid that they *themselves* are homosexual, and
that their opposition to it is some form of Freudian denial?"
Anyway, why don't you & T*d start a mailing-list called alt.fag.haters
or alt.homophobes or alt.pin.heads, and take your inane comments off the
net. If you *do* decide to keep them on the net, I'll be waiting, with
the sword of reason in one hand, and club of logic in the other.
Oh yeah...as one of my friends used to say, "Johnny....your ignorance is
showing."

Computer programming is WRONG. If you lock any number of peoble
in a cage, and they all do computer programming, they will die
from starvation. How can anyone consider computer programming
normal if it would wipe out an entire species?
Mankind surely need farmers, but that does not mean that
everyone has to be a farmer.

Jonny, if you believe in God, you don't need to appeal to genetics to
make your point. God has declared that homosexuality is an abomination
and that no homosexual will enter His kingdom.
As far as ridding the world of homosexuals, that's God's business, not
yours or mine. His warning to the world concerning the consequences of
a lifestyle preoccupied with homosexuality can be seen in the example
of Sodom and Gomorrah. These communities were known for there homo-
sexuality, and God utterly destroyed them. I doubt that He'll do it
again before judgment day, but that's not the point. He hasn't given
any of us the right to persecute homosexuals, only to show them the
consequences of their folly.
As for David M. Read...

Why does "hating homosexuality" necessarily equal "homophobia"? I don't
hate homosexuals, just their practices. I don't go out of my way to
avoid them, and only feel uncomfortable when they start pawing at me.

You've already proven that logic and reason are not your forte. You lump
everyone opposed to homosexuality together and insult them without
exception. I don't feel threatened by homosexuals any more than I fear
drunk drivers (when they're sober, that is). But I don't condone and
I don't think society should condone the practices of either.
Changing the natural use of any of God's creation is unacceptable,
including man's sexuality.

Just to address this one point. First, there are many examples
of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, and we must therefore
conclude that the state of being homosexual is not necessarily
arrived at by a cognitive process. Second, any Darwinist would
concede that within the whole animal kingdom the chances of at
least some animals and humans being homosexual is very probable.

I would like to thank Mr. Walters for realizing that what follows is
only his opinion. However, be warned: he's about to cast rationality
aside.
>How can any intelligent,
>civilized person suggest with any remote seriousness that the
>unearthly cretins known as homosexuals are behaving in a way that
>could be considered right, normal, or even socially acceptable?
What's interesting is that most intelligent, civilized persons do
consider homosexual behavior acceptable. It's mostly primitive
throwbacks such as Mr. Walters that get so upset about it.
>Most of them were not born with any evident mutations that would
>cause such aberrant behavior, so how could ANYONE suggest that
>they could be accepted? Sexual orientation is chosen. No one
>forces anyone to copulate with anyone else.
Apparently Mr. Walters in unaware of the difference between
'orientation' and action. Also, there are studies that suggest
physiological differences between some Gays and straights. Mr.
Walters is apparently unaware of this.
>Choosing someone of
>the same sex as your mate is not biologically correct or normal.
^^^^^^^
This concept of 'biological correct' is fascinating. I suggest
that we make of list of 'biological incorrect' behavior (such
as polluting, eating animals when plants are much less resource-
intensive, etc.) and kill everyone who engages in such behavior.
>If it were normal, then why didn't God put 2 men in the garden of
>Eden to BUTTBANG all day? It's NOT right.
If Mr. Walters believes everything he reads in the bible, childish
homophobia is the least of his problems.
>Now, if you are athiest
^^^^^^^ Apparently the education that taught Mr.
Walters to be the arbiter of right & wrong
didn't include spelling.
>or a darwinist, then look at it from a scientific point of view.
>If you take 2 males or females of *ANY* species and lock them in
>a cage, they *will not* make any offspring and the species within
>their biome will become extinct. How can anyone consider

Well, heterosexuality produces murderers, deformed children,
Hitler, and homosexuals. Maybe we should get rid of it, not
homosexuality!!
>As for those still thinking that it would be possible to be born
>that way, how could the genetics of a gay be passed on? If your

Bravo, Mr. Walters, you've got this reproduction thing figured
out! However, he apparently believes that any condition a baby
is born with must be hereditary.

>as they at least show some signs of decency. Homosexuals are
>disease-ridden pests that should be driven from the face of the

In the end, the real homophobes resort to mindless name calling.
Their tired attempts at logic having run out, they revert to
their normal atavistic flag-waving selves.

Sorry about this, but it appears that I can go one better:
Being "Jonny Walters" or "Theodore Kaldis" is WRONG.
If you take all the Jonny Walters' &/or Theodore Kaldis' and put them in
a cage then they will starve, not reproduce, but possibly fall in love.
After a while they will die. Therefore mankind does not need Jonny
Walters' &/or Theodore Kaldis...
Mankind surely needs UN-Theodore Kaldis' & UN-Jonny Walters'...

Obviously, this person hasn't heard of parthenogenesis (the ability
of some species to produce offspring without the need for sexual
activity). Many species are quite capable of maintaining the biome,
thank you. Only when genetic diversity is lowered do these animals
breed males (they're all females) to diversify the gene pool. And
when it's taken care of, the males are no longer produced.
I'd say that were "just slightly ahead of our time."

If the men inclined to these sorts of postings would appeal to their
scriptures in a more direct and less faint-hearted fashion the
power of the word might astound even the most convinced believer.
I would suggest the following method the next time you
feel the urge to approach the keyboard . Instead, take
down your scripture-of-choice from the shelf. Open it up
to a passage which you feel condemns the sexual activities of
others. Take out your penis and lay it across the selected passage.
Then slam the book closed as forcefully as possible.
This method will provide the keenest scriptural focus possible on
sex.

Some will say that homosexuality is not "natural".
Homosexuals will reply that "Animals in nature, of
the same sex, have sex."
Fine, I say, Let it be so. But the whole idea of
the public's acceptance of homosexuality centers
on the fact that we are HUMANS. If one has to
lower oneself to the ANIMAL level, than something
is wrong.
You may remember that memebers of the same sex, in
nature, often kill each other. I wonder if I could
use that analogy in a homocide trial - with as much

God, I hate this. Why can't people call things what they are.
America has become the land of euphemism.
*People of Color*..... What color are these people? This is the
stupidest expression I've ever heard. Black, while not exactlty accurate
, is to the point and not derogatory. If you don't like that, you can take
your pick of afro- or african americans. People of color sounds a lot like
Colored People. But We'd never say that, would we?
Physically and Mentally challenged? This is almost moronic. Is
handicapped or disabled such an affront to your sensibilities? Mentally
challenged people are generally taking some sort of test or designing
something new. Physicly challenged people are generally running fast or
lifting heavy objects or competeing for an Olympic Gold Medal
Maybe the reason these people (and others) can't BE WHO THEY
REALLY ARE is that no one knows who they are.

YES, Bill Gates IS my personal savior, and I CHANNEL for him in CLEAR WEATHER.
I tend to agree. The problem isn't with the label.. it's with the
attitudes surrounding the condition. Picking a new label only tranfers
those attitude to that new label. There was a time when the term
"special" had very positive connotations, but now when the Church Lady (TM)
says "Isn't that special?!" it's a derogatory remark. It's only a matter
of time before the term "mentally challenged" becomes just another
derogatory wise-crack, like "special".
There have been a few instances when a new label did allow people
to abandon labels laden with pejeduce or hate. Like the substitution of
the work Black for colored or negro, but it only succeded because there
was an underlying shift in attitudes (and it is still far from complete, and
there are those who try to escape some of the negative connotations of
the term black, and have switched to the term African-american, and at least
this has the virture of being more accurately discriptive.)

I think we'd all be better off if we paid less attention to the labels,

While I would have chosen another term, like "non-Caucasians", I think
you showed some true ignorance of your own on this one. Do you think
blacks are the only ones that have suffered from discrimination in
thie country because of their race? How about the American Indians?
The Japanese? Do you really think anti-Semitism doesn't exist?
>If you don't like that, you can take
>your pick of afro- or african americans.
Oh good. I have some friends who are from the Phillipines; I'll tell
them that they're really African Americans. They'll like that; it'll
make their lives a whole lot easier or something. *sigh*
> Physically and Mentally challenged? This is almost moronic. Is
>handicapped or disabled such an affront to your sensibilities?
Not mine. But I bet a lot of disabled people object to the term
"disabled". After all, it implies (to some) that there are things I
can achieve that my "disabled" counterpart cannot. Similarly,
"handicapped" sounds like a cry for charity.
Besides, once again you have shown your incredible ignorance of the
complete human condition. Is a deaf person "handicapped"?
"Disabled"? I don't think so. "Physically challenged"? Quite
possibly, since it is only our human societal traditions that put a
deaf person at any disadvantage.
>Mentally
>challenged people are generally taking some sort of test or designing

If society (INCLUDING the "disabled") decides as a whole to use the
term "physically challenged", then that will be the term that is used,
and too bad if you or I don't like it. If the term is not liked by
the public as a whole, it will disappear. I doubt seriously that the
current slang adjective "hype" will last more than ten years, but look
what happened to the word "cool".
The state of the language is determined through patterns of usage, not
rational argument, and whether or not a word or phrase makes any sense

"Eldrad must live." "WHAT??!?" "Just testing."
A very good friend of mine who is East Indian refers to himself as a man of
color. He feels all people with skin darker than lilly white are persons
of color, blacks, indians ( east and american), mexicans etc. are persons
of color and is not offended by same, since they almost always treated the
same. By the way, he is a board certified pyschiatrist and one of the more
respected in Oklahoma City. But, then prejudice people hardly ever look
deeper than skin color.

They had two children, Cain and Abel. Cain was cast out and married Jezzabel

Obviously, T*d and his friends are throwbacks.
Doesn't the bible say something about it being a sin to charge interest?
Why aren't T*d and his friends out there attacking all the banks etc.
or is the bible only useful for backing up arguments when it is convenient
for his own ends. Doesn't the bible say something about hate and greed Ted
and about being unjustly proud of your wealth (the current term would be
rubbing it in).
How easy it is to use the bible selectively.
It you actually examined it, you would find it is a load of twaddle.
An australian academic recently caused a sensation by getting on national
television and explaining the real meaning of the bible.
After some analysis of the dead sea scrolls.
The parables all had double meanings,
for the lay person a moral story and for people
who knew how to read the code a history of events. For instance the
bit where Jesus was raised from the dead refered to the old practice of
refering to anyone who had abandoned the then code of conduct as dead.
They would even have a banishing ceremony and place the victim in a tomb
for some time. Apparently Jesus was a direct action type protester who
deeply offended the hierachy by performing recommunications after such
events. Someone else recommunicated Jesus.
Blind christianity is a truly evil imprisonment of the mind and soul.

No, you don't have to disagree with homosexuality to have the right to spout
this kind of crap. Every citizen of the United States is given the right to
spout as much crap (of any kind) as they please as long as it is not libelous
or slanderous or obscene (appealing to the prurient interest, 2 Live Crew, and
all that happy bullshit).

Actually, you can tell other people what to do all you want. The likelyhood of
them actually doing it is extremely low.

I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself, I am sick to death ( and
i am sure others are too) of you reposting this anti-social crap.
I am an intelligent and civilised ( and there are lots of others out there)
and i consider homosexuality no less "right", "normal" and "socially acceptable"
than what you are doing and behaving. If you cannot conceive the fact that
any one else can think and feel differently, then i am tempted to do a little
demonstration for you. If i were to ask everyone to post an opinion that
you should be shot dead before you post the next article, the volume of
news that would flood this group will be enough to blow up your terminal
and kill you instantly the next time you read these groups. but i am not going
to and WARNING: please DON'T, I repeat DON'T do what i just said, because
i am not going to play GOD and blow up the world prematurely.

sexual orientation may or may not be psychological, biological, genetic
or even religous and ritually link, I won't attempt to prove or disprove
any of it because i am not that well qualified to draw conclusions
in any of those areas. Let me just agree with you that there is at least an
element of choice, so homosexuality is a sexual preference,
just like some of us like tea while others enjoy coffee, some love chocalate
ice-cream others prefer vinilla.
then you are advocating killing all coffee drinkers because you happen to
enjoy tea. Anyone, even an lunatic like you can see that this is ridiculous.
Adoft Hitle(we all know who i am refering to, correct me if i spell the name
wrong) kill 6 million jews because he didnot like them, Its is
daunting to think that you could kill six million gays given half the chance.
That 's why i think we should blow you off the face of the earth.
Let me take you up on the bit about God, (i am not a christian but you seem
to be one so.... does god not teach you to respect others and treat others
as you would like yourself to be treated. I believe so, so you should
really consider killing yourself before advocating killing anyone else.

as someone else has already suggested if we lock you up with a woman,
i doubt very much you will make any offsprings so how can we consider you

for your information, the most fruitful and fulfilling relationships are
those between women, at the other extreme is those between men, and
hetrosexual relationship lies between the two extremes. Here I am talking
about quality of relationships , let me xplain :
1. When women get together, they talk, they support each other emotionally,
and look after each other. Many women seek relationships with other women
because they donot get the love, tenderness and care from men. This is mainly
a fault of society, which socialise men towards achievement and strength.
expression of tenderness is and emotional dependency are seen as signs of
weakness and must be suppressed. Alse women in hetrosexual relationships
are not on equal footing with men in this traditionally patriarchy framework.
I know things are changing but not much and fast enough. Women are demand
more of things men have been socialised not to give. AS men are not prepared
to change womem are turning towards other women for emotional fulfillment.
2. relationship between men is some what different, when men get together
they get drunk, beatup eachother or other people or they fuck each other.
relationship between men are subject to so much external pressure ,
from their friends, family, guilt if they are religious, and community at
large. With all these forces trying to pull they apart, if they are hanging
in then it must be faith and god must be on their side, either that or they
must be kept together by factors beyond my understanding.
3. hetrosexual relationship has elements from both 1 & 2 above. With women
supporting men emotionlly and sexually, and men getting drunk, beating
them up and fucking them for his own gratification. this gives rise to
images of women in our society being battered, depressed , sexually unfufiled
and generally unhappy. ALSO note that only women suffer from a medical
condition known as depression and are treated with tranquilisers of which
a famous brand is VALIUM.
Note: You may think i am making over generalisations and i admit i may be guilty
of this but it a view based on experience and i am sure many of you will
identify with this view, some would disagree because they have had different
experiences and i am happy for them in that case.

1. There is no evidence that the Emperor/Darth Vader were
queers (although many persons assume this, probably (?)
because "the Nazis were queers" (another urban legend)
2. The most startling fact (for me) about Star Wars was the
Main Love Story -- between Obiwan Kenobe and Luke Skywalker.
If you doubt me, watch the movie again, and watch the anguish
of Luke when Obiwan dies. The ancient ideal of
paiderasteia revived on the big screen. Wonderful.
And the love was clearly mutual.
3. In sum (as often) the homos were on the good side. (Disclaimer:
the homos are not always on the good side.)
All of you. Get this the hell out of news.admin. Now.

Nazi Germany killed more that Jews. Along with Jews and gypsies, homosexuals
were required to wear badges visable on their outer clothing identifying
them as such. Millions of them were rounded up and slaughtered also.
From the looks of the original posting, civilization has not advanced
in the last 50 years.

Nazi Germany killed more that Jews. Along with Jews and gypsies, homosexuals
were required to wear badges visable on their outer clothing identifying

^^^^^^^^
According to `The Pink Triangle' by Richard Plant, approximately
45 000 men and 6 (yes, six) women were `convicted' of being gay, and
approximately 15 000 of them died in the camps. `Millions' is way
out. On the other hand, the Nazis were responsible for about
11 million non-war-related deaths, so if we assume that 10% of them
happened to be homosexual, then it would be correct (though
misleading) to say that they killed `over a million homosexuals'.
The reasons that the numbers are so surprisingly few:
1. Difficulty of detection. Jews and Gypsies are, by and large, a lot
more conspicuous than closeted gays.
2. They were only really concerned about gay Aryans. They really
believed that homosexuals are a danger to society, so they were
happy for their enemies' societies to be undermined and subverted
by these decadent queers.
3. From 1939, almost all German men were in the army. The Gestapo
never had jurisdiction over soldiers, and courts-martial were much
more lenient on homosexuals than were the gestapo. Gay soldiers could
expect one to five years in a military prison, while civilians got
a one way trip to the camps.
4. There was never a law against lesbians. Nevertheless, there was
one incident in which an overzealous official arrested six lesbians.

What's "forged"? It's just another psuedo. You could be too.
So could I. So could all of the "people" posting to this
waste of electricity.
What difference does it make whether someone's name is "real" or not?
If you don't like what "jonny" wrote, and you feel a need to argue
against it, then do it. Although why you'd want to bother is anyone's
guess. So much incredibly useless, stupid shit gets posted to this
pseudo-intellectual garbage-heap anyway, so what's the difference?
But if you really feel you absolutely have to bother arguing it,
do you need to see a valid driver's license and major credit-card first?
Argue (if you must) the "ideas" (such as they are) -- not the "person".
