I love this guy.

Oh, the mods are just gonna LOVE you!!!
pinches ArchEtech’s cheek Aw, you’re a cute widdle bigot, aren’t you? Yes you are! Yes you are!
Bigot:
One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
Word History: Bigots may have more in common with God than one might think. Legend has it that Rollo, the first duke of Normandy, refused to kiss the foot of the French king Charles III, uttering the phrase bi got, his borrowing of the assumed Old English equivalent of our expression by God. Although this story is almost surely apocryphal, it is true that bigot was used by the French as a term of abuse for the Normans, but not in a religious sense. Later, however, the word, or very possibly a homonym, was used abusively in French for the Beguines, members of a Roman Catholic lay sisterhood. From the 15th century on Old French bigot meant “an excessively devoted or hypocritical person.” Bigot is first recorded in English in 1598 with the sense “a superstitious hypocrite.”
I think its safe to say, homosexuals are no less “bigoted”
I wouldn’t even say that I’m intolerant of homosexual behavior, but I am intolerant of homosexuals who are intolerant of my heterosexuality. I am intolerant of the homosexual agenda that is attempting to remove the right of societies majority to decide what rules they will live by which is the basis on which is country is founded.
Dude! Some people are trying to eat around here! You don’t need to go throwing your bigotry around. Because seriously, man, it smells really, really rancid.
PS: Hierocracy? I normally would avoid commenting on these kind of things, but come on. I can’t pass up something like that. Is this like some twisted combination of hierarchy and hypocrisy? Fear the hypocritical hierachy of the SDMB! Maybe it’s like a new way of whinging about the fabled clique? Honestly, man, that’s genius. I think it deserves a place in the SDMB annals right up there with “fucko off” and “OG SMASH!”
I know you didn’t mean to say this, but this is just priceless:
You’re just biass. 
Welcome to your first pile-on, ArchEtech.
You have expressed Incorrect Thoughts. Don’t bother defending yourself; no one is going to read what you write.
I would be willing to bet the moderator’s in box is filling up with "Report this post’ e-mails even as we speak. This is the sort of thing they live for.

The cause of sexual preference is unknown. That inclused heterosexuality and bisexuality too.
There is no evidence to suggest that homosexuality is a medical condition.
You just answered your own question. Homosexual activity between adults is consensual. Pedophilia is not, especially given that the law does not recognize a child’s consent to sexual activity. Sex with a corpses and animals is dangerous, given the likelyhood of disease transmission, and unlike homosexual behaviour, is often linked with actual psychological disorders.
Hetersexual activity involving contraceptive devices or drugs does not result in procreation. Oral sex, masturbation and foreplay to not result in procreation. All of these are sexual activities regularly engaged in by heterosexual people, for the sole purpose of pleasure. Homosexuals also enjoy engaging in sexual activities for pleasure. And we are not the only mammals who do so.
You do not have the right to dictate what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes. If you don’t like it, nobody may force you to experience it, nor may the force you to watch. That’s what we like to call “freedom.”
If you can’t conduct a debate w/o personal insults, you will be unable to conduct a debate in GD.
Posting for the pleasure of upestting people is agin the rules you agreed to when you registered. I suggest you re-read them. It’s not you rfault if people get upset w/ what you post. It just not okay to craft a post for the purpose of upseting people. I hope you can appreciate the difference.
I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay.
Well taken out of context, which is in essence a lie, it does sound pretty funny.
Perhaps I should put it this way.
Any sexual behavior that is not heterosexual is by definition abnormal.
You truly are a fucking moron.
A point of great concern to our founding fathers was something called “The Tyranny of the Majority”, but I’m not surprised that your Neaderthal upbringing hasn’t made you aware of it. This is what James Madison had to say:
"It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but **to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part**. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure."
Now, what was that about “the basis on which our country was founded”?
Dumbass.
Well, the only good thing about an idiot like this: he’ll keep this board and its mission alive for a very long time.
I haven’t personally insulted anyone, used ratial slurs, or promoted hate or violence again persons - nor have I received any warnings from moderators so I don’t think I have cross your forwarned line.
But thanks for the concern :dubious:
How is it that the SDMB has been overrun with SO many outspoken homophobes of late? Did we storm another board and then they’ve all come here in retaliation or something? A link somewhere, so they’ll know they need to come here and tell us all how liberal (oooh!) and, in those very important cases that we have no clue (well, obviously, because we’ve never, ever heard it before), sinful we are? Gosh, aren’t we glad they’re here to show us the right, correct way that we’d completely missed? Thank Og for all the enlightening, opposing viewpoints.
If so, is there a limit on how many we can put on “that button” we can’t discuss? Because if so, I’m afraid we all might be reaching our maximum limit soon.
I think you mean “expressed thoughts that are derogatory, ignorant, and insulting towards a large number of posters here, and that are often used to marginalize or legally and socially oppress said people in the outside world.”
Sort of like if I said that conservatives are wild-eyed, Bible-thumping maniacs who want to rape the environment while lining the pockets of the rich and throwing loving gay couples into prison, so we should pass laws not allowing Republicans to vote. It makes one feel that (s)he is being personally attacked, and for issues I think you’d agree they shouldn’t be attacked on. At least, I hear that most gay people don’t like being told that they need to get therapy to get rid of all those “unnatural urges,” especially since this “abnormality” thing has no psychological basis in fact, and has been used as a weapon against them.
But I’m sure you had no intention of implying that you agreed with Arch’s commentary, especially during those times when he, say, implies that you can “catch gay,” or that gay people are trying to convert straights (“I would also like to know, out of all these gay kids that have been driven from school, how many of them throw their “gayness” onto everyone”). I mean, certainly you’d do everything possible to dissociate yourself from such views, and not defend them just because they’re spouted by your political party of preference, or because those who disagree with them also disagree with your views in other areas.

Well, as ignorant as he’s been, I doubt it. Only if there’s truth to his claim of deliberate button-pushing would I think something would actually be done.
Or is this another “conservatives are oppressed on the SDMB” thing?

Fighting ignorance, you mean? Certainly - that’s the motto of our beloved column, after all…
Oh I understand what you are referring to. But there are certain moral rules, any society must follow in order to survive, and in my opinion, remaining heterosexually biased is one of them.
You are making a false analogy as our forefathers didn’t intend the constitution to protect the rights of people to engage in immoral behavior. The “The Tyranny of the Majority”, was intended to assure people the right to do anything they wish.
There is a big difference between tolerance and acceptance. Thing can be tolerated without being accepted. Homosexuals just don’t accept the amount they are tolerated, and I would agree, that as a whole we still have so lightening up to do.

Are you defending him? Sometimes a pile on is deserved. Perhaps we can get rid of a little of his ignorance.
Why should we? You seem to have posted the whole ridiculous thing here.
There’s board rules about this, you know.
OKAY.
That’s IT. Until now, I have had a rule against posting in the BBQ pit. First it was too vulgar, then I was too shy, then I was too afraid, then I was too shy again, and then I just didn’t have a lot to say. I have, prior to this, only posted here once (unless a thread got moved here with my post in it) and it was in response to being pitted for being ‘a fuckup’ (no hard feelings against the one who pitted me, and as a service to him, maybe you shouldn’t look it up).
But this Does it! Ignorance must be fought on whatever territory it occupies, and sometimes you have to go into the rat-infested and cholera-spawning trenches to give it what it deserves. I may be young, I may be poorly trained, I may not know what I’m headed for, but by golly this cannot be allowed.
ArchEtech, you’re living in a house of cards, built on a flawed understanding of basic mechanics. Like a coyote in a cartoon, when you notice the laws of Newton, your structure will come crumbling down like the poorly-supported, unbalanced, misdesigned yet comfortably-furnished monstrosity it is. In short, you are out of touch with reality.
Your house of cards is built on the back of a cat. It is not in the nature of cats to allow this. Your house must fall, because of it’s unsturdy nature and obviously poorly-chosen point of departure.
I don’t know how you got that out of your dissertation on etymology and French legend, but whatever. You make the same case below, that homosexuals are bigots:
What? When’s the last time you heard a gay man say “Oh, those stupid heteros. What a bunch of disgusting sinners. They should all be like us!”. ?? When’s the last time a band of angry gays beat up a young, sporty straight kid for acting too straight? When’s the last time any gay rights movement suggested the things about heterosexuality that you have suggested about homosexuality: That it’s a deviance, a wrongess, an error, and a defect that should really be corrected? Show me a gay claim that straightness is bad.
Your argument makes you saound like htose white guys who tore down “Black is Beautiful” signs in South Africa back in the day. Claim to have worth as a person? Claim you’re not broken? Claim you’re something other than untermenschen? Well, you’re just ‘throwing your gayness at me’. Stop forcing your sick ways on me. I have a right to be straight, you know! And you saying that you’re gay, or heaven forbid celebrating that fact, threatens my heterosexuality and makes you a bigot. Why can’t those fags just accept that they’re broken and try to fit in with us good people?
Homosexual agenda? Like the one that demands that everyone not hate them? Oh, no, I see you mean the one that says thaat the majority have the right, in your glorious country, to tell the minorities exactly how to live. The USA is founded on straightness, after all. It’s right there in the constitution: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Pretty Girls.
What are you saying, that the USA is founded on the right of the majority to ruin and tread down the minorities?
Get it through your head. People are gay. Not all of them. Some of them. And there’s all kinds of variation- a big spectrum of sexuality. And the psychologists don’t think it’s a disease. They don’t think it’s ‘curable’ any more than being black or being left-handed is. Black used to mean stupid and less human. Left-handed used to mean possessed by the devil. We got over those kind of prejudices. It’s your turn to get over this one.
People are made this way sometimes. Maybe it’s chemistry, maybe it’s genes, maybe it’s early childhood environment, whatever. Telling gays they have to shut up about it and they have to act straight and not bother you with their gayness is like telling blacks they should go around wearing white cream, and forcing left-handed kids to write with their right hand. But with homosexuality, trying to pretend you’re not makes you lonely, and makes you feel like you’re not as good as the straights. And you can never really know love. And you can never really live that ‘full life’ people keep saying is so great.
I hope you read this. I hope you think a little about it. I expect to have my hopes crushed.
I have no doubt that you, in a former life, were the one lighting the torches at the witch burnings in Salem, weren’t you…
Who has decided that homosexuality is immoral? Heterosexuals? Fundamentalist Christians? Oh yes, the majority.
Which is why, thank God, we have a country that protects the rights of minorities.
