[QUOTE=danbar] Same-sex marriage? Unnatural. Period. The sun rises every day? This is natural as is a man ‘sexing’ a woman and marrying a woman. Moreover, from age 3 to 6, a child needs the opposite gender for self-identification. Unless you care to deny basic psychology, this is the accepted wisdom in the matter. This covers homosexual couples’ defiant act of child adoption. [/QUOTE] Smallpox and hurricanes are natural. Natural does not necessarily mean good. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] Do you reckon this behaviour is limited to message boards? The internet? [/QUOTE] Oh hell yeah. I’m a generally nonviolent person, and if forced to spend ten minutes with this doofus, I’m fairly certain there’d be some throatpunching. If not forced to, I’d just leave. So I’m guessing that the internet is either the only place he behaves this way, or the only way he interacts socially at all. ---

[QUOTE=danbar] Of course, re all of the culture related themes, I am an avowed ethnocentrist, but NOT on the expense of other ethnicities. I respect them fully. it’s just that I want mine intact, that’s all. Yes, it is ethnocentristic, but I really don’t think that such a stand is bad, errr, wrong. And let’s not confuse it w Apartheid, not at all. Let all live in peace, but in Rome, be Roman, if you get my drift. In Mexico I’ll defer to Spanish, and so on. My castle, my rules, ok? I don’t like diversity. Now, shoot me. [/quote] I’m curious whether you espouse the concept of “I’m the last one in and get to close the door on the next entrant” or the idea of “we need to go back to the beginning.” Are you willing to get rid of Hallowe’en and St. Paddy’s Day (Irish) and Christmas (Catholic) and pizza and canolis (Italian) and mu gu gai pan and General Tso chicken (Chinese sorta) and secret ballots on election day (Australian) in order to go back to our pristine monoculture? Or do you simply want to throw out the people who arrived fifteen minutes after you did? Just curious. [QUOTE=danbar] Same-sex marriage? Unnatural. Period. The sun rises every day? This is natural as is a man ‘sexing’ a woman and marrying a woman. Moreover, from age 3 to 6, a child needs the opposite gender for self-identification. Unless you care to deny basic psychology, this is the accepted wisdom in the matter. This covers homosexual couples’ defiant act of child adoption. [/quote] Nearly every mammalian species includes members who exhibit homosexual behavior and all primates include examples of same sex pairing. Its frequency varies a bit depending on the general social organization, but it clearly occurs in Nature, hence it is not unnatural. If you wish to make a claim that it is unnatural, you will need to produce evidence beyond “It is icky and I do not like it.” [QUOTE=danbar] Islamo Fascism - Fascism is defined mostly as open display of power, for lack of substance. Not fro nothing its namesake - fascia. [/quote] Piffle. This is the sort of silly claim I would have expected from an 11th grader in 1969. Fascism is a specific philosophy of governance that allows capitalist economy at the lower tiers while incorporating a somewhat incestuous relationship (without government ownership) between government and major industry. It is based on an intense nationalism that exalts the “people” (typically an ethnic group) as being the rightful lords over some territory and is highly dependent on a charismatic leader to hold it together. None of the groups or movements identified by the invented term “Islamo-Fascist” actually meet those definitions. When you have to invent new definitions for existing words to justify coining even newer words, you are better off simply avoiding the first error. [QUOTE=danbar] Zionism - You’re right, from '67 it’s tinged w hues of nationalism, . . . [/QUOTE] You have it backwards. Until '67, Zionism was basically a nationalist movement. Since '67 the Zionist movement in Israel has prompted that country to engage in the dispossession of the lands of its neighbors. A legitimate discussion may occur regarding what Israel should–or could–do to establish its own security, but to claim that Zionism is merely a nationalist struggle is to ignore the continuing settlements on the West Bank and the rhetoric from Likud and Tsomet and the National Unity Parties (among others). ---
