homophobia, and in general any sort of deliberate prejudice towards homosexuality is dispicable, and anyone like aejones who opens says he hates gay ppl should be banned and shunned from the poker community. How would the moderators react if someone said "I hate jews, i can't help it, I just hate them!" or what if they said it about blacks, or about hispanics, or anything? Would we tolerate it?

No. Just because a certain element our society-- ignorant people-- think they have some sort of random justification to be outright subversive to progress and open-mindness, does not make it 'ok.'

To anyone with any understanding of history and society, it is so blatently obvious that those who are openly bigoted are living in another era.

C'mon now, let's not go there. It's an opinion, I've stated it as opinion, certainly not as fct, and I thought opinions were welcomed on message boards.

This isn't an opinion in the same way that republicans and democrats, and socialists and capitalists have differing opinions. You are a bigot, you have expressed an irrational hate for AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE. How can you possibly rationalize that? Look, I am all for open and civilized debate and discussion, but for [censored] sake I have no interest in discussing or conversing on whether it is ok or not to HATE homosexuals. Just like if someone came on and said "I hate jews" I would not try to convince him he is a moron, I would just take pride in the fact that my outlook on life and the world is real and good, and his is irrational, wrong, and detrimental to society.

Don't get me wrong, I do not know you at all, and I do not think you are by nature a bad person or anything like that, I just think you are grossly misinformed, and very immature. This isn't like 7th grade where it's fashionable to make fun of ppl for being "gay." You are likely a responsible young adult who is living in the year 2006, and still holds a barbaric view of homosexuality.

I'm sorry for being so openly insulting to you, I really am, but it is just inconcievable for me to understand such a bitter hate from someone who likely has access to modern information and media and likely encounters homosexuals on a daily basis.
