Squicks Actually, I am all for passive eugenics. I only didn't mention it because I didn't want to expose my more extreme views. I don't think it should be so controversial though. To those who would call it inhumane I ask which is more humane: slowing down reproduction rates or letting people die of starvation and disease? I am also all for genetic manipulation in the womb. Won't it be nice when you can know that your child has less of a chance for birth defects and congenital diseases? I'm not so worried anymore. ^^ You're a bit sexist, but you're not ignorant. Some of your views do make you sound like a relic of ages past. Lolz At least the whole "women at home, men in the workplace" thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a different opinion than that which is in sync with one's generation, it just caught me off guard in this case. As long as nobody tries to put that into law, who am I to judge a family for being traditional? By the way, you're still defending segregation... stare In that case though, don't you think homosexuality is a good thing? They are willing to basically not participate in the whole breeding thing. What would you have against them marrying? There are churches out there that are okay with it and will marry homosexual couples. They are not the majority, but doesn't their existence alone prove that there is a social evolution going on? Doesn't it say something about how willing society is to accept gay families now? You say that one-man-one-woman parenting is the socially accepted norm, but that is changing. Will your opinion change with the social norm?
I very much like the idea of reducing a child's chance of being born with some sort of disease, which is why I'm starting to support the idea of Eugenics more and more.
Women can choose to have a job while the man stays home to take care of the kids. It's just my personal preference that it be the other way around. Still, I suppose as long as one of them is a productive member of society, it wouldn't bother me a whole lot. I just like tradition, that's all.
The majority cannot outright abuse the minority, but if there's even a 51% majority, it's still a majority. Besides, as long as the minority can see that a decision was made for the greater good they aren't being oppressed. Yes, the 51/49 problem is something that is very hard to solve in a democracy. I'm not sure what the best method of solving it is, however.
My mind is starting to change about gay marriage. I can understand why my parents are against it, since they were raised at a time when that really wasn't even an issue. I guess I don't really care one way or the other if churches allow gay couples to marry. I'm starting to think that it would be a good idea if government involvement in marriage was eliminated altogether. Should we keep the system of giving married couples benefits or not is probably one of my bigger questions. My opinion might change with the social opinion, it just may be a gradual change.

I know alot of people that think that being gay or bi is something to use aginst them like pick on them for it or just make fun of them, and my family is the "Be straigt and marry a girl or be gone" kinda family, which makes me feel unwanted because I'm Bi. i love my g/f and she loves me, she knows everything about, every little thing and shes alright with it and still loves me. So I like guys AND girls, woop-dee do! Don't hate me for it, I'm just the same as you. So I don't mind the gays, Bis, or transes. But I hate the people that try to steryotype them!! See I'm christian, and since they belive in guy/girl and not guy/guy or girl/girl, and my family wants a sraight son, my brother(He's really my friend that I've goten to know so well we call each other brother) and my g/f are the only people that know, and well I guess you guys and girls now. So I say LET THE GAYS LIVE GAYLY(meanning happy)!!!!!!

My Deep Sadness Love is love, no matter the gender. People act like homosexuality is sin because things didn't start out with Adam and Steve, it was Adam and Eve. Well, I not only don't believe in that theory, I don't believe that homosexuality is a sin. The Christian religion seems to want to stay the same forever and never try new things. Well, it's called evolving and they need to get with it and except people, no matter their beliefs or sexual preference. I feel very strongly of this. No matter what, you shouldn't let rules be a borderline for who you can and cannot love. That's what I believe. i see what u mean about most christians and ppl like them. i personally am christian, but i dont believe so strongly in many of the things that most churches are really tough on. i personally dont like other guys in a gay way, but i really havent seen anything in the bible saying that homosexuality is wrong, so i really dont mind it all that much. like i said, im not personally gay, but i dont see anything wrong with it if you are

TempestRising I'm not really a fan of homosexuality in general, and yes it does come into complete conflict with my religion. However I do believe that people can't help loving the same gender. Since I'm sure God never said "Thou shalt kill all gays" homosexuals can do whatever they like as long as I stay far removed from the picture.
The one thing that gets to me is bisexuality. I understand being gay, I understand being straight, but there is no in between! Its just a bunch of people "experimenting" and it annoys me to no end. Why do I have the feeling I'm going to be flamed for this ninja Because you proabably are... I really don't know what to say to you because you have the right to think what you want, but I sorry, you are wrong when you say that you want to be removed from the picture. Hun, I say this with love, you can't be removed from this picture, so either you accept us all with our faults, and we shall accept yours. Acctually the Bi thing is compleatly understandable from my point, and I have met two bi people in my life, trust me their is no "experimenting" or anything like that, they are who they are.

I'm bisexual, and I know that I'm not 'just experimenting'. I like both, men and women. I like them for different reasons, different things about them, but basically I end up loving any one I love for who they are, not what they are on the outside. I guess it's an extream form of non-discrimination, or maybe not. I tend to lean toward women, because guys piss me off too much with their masculinity and all (and I find p***s' less that the most atractive thing ever). I'm not one of those people who do it (be bi) for attention, and it is annoying when I like some one and only find out that they were pretending to be bi and they break my heart because of it, but oh well. What I think= I think homosexuality is not wrong, any more than being black (0r white or blue or yellow or ******** green if it comes down to it) is wrong. It's not wrong to love a person (unless it's an extreamly young and deffensless person) and have them love you back. Is my oppinion effected by my religious beliefs?= I don't let any one (or any one's god or god-book) tell me what to think or what to feel. I'm not even atheist, I just am. I be. I exist outside of religious limitations, and I don't lable my self. I don't have issues with any one becuase of who they are and what they believe in, or what they look like.
