Re: iron81 - banning Stu Pidasso
[ QUOTE ]
Except that nowhere did Stu make the claim that homosexuals are inferior people and he specifically referenced homosexual sex. [/ QUOTE ] umm [ QUOTE ] Why I think homosexuality is inferior to Heterosexuality [/ QUOTE ] dictionary definition of homosexual: [ QUOTE ] homosexual adj : sexually attracted to members of your own sex [ant: bisexual, heterosexual] n : someone who practices homosexuality" (from dictionary.com) [/ QUOTE ] Let's use some old-fashioned logic here. If A=B and B=C then A=C. If homosexuals are people who practice homosexuality, and homosexuality is inferior, then homosexuals are inferior. try again

Re: iron81 - banning Stu Pidasso
i said he ATTEMPTED to make a logical, high content thread. he was responding to a question from someone else. he did generate a lot of pretty good responses.
like i said, i think homophobia should be strongly discouraged, this just seems like a terrible place to start.

Re: iron81 - banning Stu Pidasso
It is pretty clear from the argument that Stu wrote that he was referring to the homosexual act. And your logic doesnt work. For instance:
Big Mac eater = one who practices Big Mac eating. Big Macs are inferior to Whoppers, therefore Big Mac eaters are inferior people. Let me ask again: Would you think the ban was warranted if Stu had been talking about pedophilia, bestiality or necrophilia? If not, do you have your own judgements on the which of those is better than another? How they stand in comparison to heterosexuality or homosexuality? I think its pretty clear to most people that Stu wasnt trying to foment hate or any such nonsense.

Re: iron81 - banning Stu Pidasso
Iron,
I certainly support your attempt to follow Mason's wishes and deal appropriately with "Hate promoting", and similarly have no issues with you giving 2 day suspensions to anyone. But, wouldn't you agree that whether homosexuals and heterosexuals are equal, is part of the current political discussion in the US?

Re: iron81 - banning Stu Pidasso
 After review, the ban seems unnecessary, but the thread should be locked. Stu, a longtime member, was reasonable in his post, and for that he should at least be given the respect of a warning and explanation about why we can't allow posts like that on 2+2. I'm with some of you guys about not censoring the politics forum beyond all hope, but statements like this aren't good for us to allow on the forums: [ QUOTE ] Homosexuality is a behavior defect and therefore inferior to heterosexuality. [/ QUOTE ]
