I look forward to this debate, as it is now one of the most widely accepted practices, and yet the central cause of corruption, death and inevitably war. I think if we look at the money, power and prestige feeding it, we will see a tyrannical monster gutting itself off our morals, so self involved is it it will wipe out billions without one thought if its malignant state.

Consider the pretentious, lying face of this evil. Society comes of like a bunch of faggot bunny rabbits, so gentle and nice, ‘gee whiz, I hope I’m not offending you while I’m talking to you with a gerbil in my ass!’

I agree the media is trying to shove it down our throats, though often they don’t even use gays but some kind of monster: vampires, werewolves, whatever, they serve as a metaphor for gays.

Has anybody seen that new supernatural kids show called _Two and a Half Trolls_? Dreadful show and total propaganda, but I love the theme song:

"Troll troll troll troll  
Trolly troll troll troll  
Troll troll troll troll  
Trolly troll troll troll

Troll troll troll trolly troll  
Trolly troll trolly troll troll troll  
Trollyyyyyyy trollllllll."

I can’t remember the rest, but just like AIDS it’s really catchy.

Interesting post.

A debate involves the presentation of arguments, not just making claims.

You need to give an argument for this claim.

You need to give an argument for the claim implicit here.

Your OP is poorly written, unclear and full of ill-defined or illogical references. If you would like to make an argument, by all means, do so. If, however, you would prefer to ramble nonsensically about gerbils in asses, kindly do it elsewhere.

A bunny with a gerbil in its ass? 😕  
Is that the sexual equivalent of Turducken?

Did I say history? No. But I recall a city in biblical history destroyed by it.

You said “war”. Even if I were to accept your bible myths as history, a god destroying cities is not a war. Unless you define “war” so loosely that it loses useful meaning.

It may appear that way, but we are dealing with an infection on this world that is merciless, that has the potentially of killing every living thing on this planet. Homosexuality is not about life, but death to our species.

This would mean something if there were actual evidence that Sodom and Gomorrah existed, that they were destroyed by divine wrath and that wrath was caused by the cities demonstrating homosexual proclivities. Also the fact that many cities in the modern world have extremely active homosexual communities and they have not been destroyed by divine wrath seems to argue against the validity of your charge.

and yet, despite the burgeoning awareness of homosexuality, the world’s population continues to increase.
