So I mention something I saw in the news, give my take on it, and ask everyone what their take on it is, and instead of answering, you attack my take instead. How constructive and mature. The fact that I got infracted for 'trolling' by somebody that simply doesn't agree with my opinion speaks loads about your moderating quality. I wonder if Kristy and the others whose posts contain nothing but empty insults got infracted for trolling.
To put things in perspective, i created this exact thread with the exact same OP on every web forum I belong to, and none of them blew up with the kind of high-schoolish antics found herein.
And calling me a 'right-wing nutjob' and 'conspiracy theorist'? lol @ you is the only response I can give to such utter nonsense. I just got called a 'left-wing nutjob' by someone on another forum in another topic not 5 minutes before skimming through your responses. The benefits of being an independent is that you get to laugh at people whose minds are so primitive they have to separate everything and everyone into left and right.
To make things clear, i'm not throwing away my harry potter books. I was exaggerating due to extreme annoyance that she would cheapen the series like this. You are right about one thing: she doesn't mention he's gay in the books. Think about why she would mention this irrelevant news at this time.
Do I think she has hidden pro-communism within the HP series, and that she's a communist? Yes and yes, for reasons previously stated and that not a single person responded to. Do you know what it means when you avoid answering altogether, and choose to flame instead? It's an admission of defeat on your part. Thanks for the confidence. For the record, I don't think a child is going to read the series and say "long live Mao!". The political taint just cheapens the series and is extremely annoying.
Do I think communism is bad? Not in and of itself. But human history tells us that human behavior and communism are not a good mix. It could and should work...it just doesn't. People end up being run over by tanks and that sort of thing.
Do i think homosexuality is wrong and shouldn't be promoted? Of course, and basic human anatomy is the reason why. When human beings evolve and female genitalia is located inside a man's rectum, I will agree with it. Until then, being sexually attracted to an non-anatomically correct area will always be a disorder, and I teach my kids to do what's right, not what feels good. I find that the easy path is rarely ever the correct path; this philosophy is coincidentally found all over the harry potter series.
I also really enjoyed how some claim that I hate gay people. It's always a laugh when people say that. You think I hate everyone who does wrong things? If that were so, i'd hate everyone, including myself. Not everyone is the KKK. Stop thinking in absolutes.
"Do you even know what you're talking about?" Yes. You will too when you graduate high school/college and step into the real world, or at least, you'll learn to get along with people whose opinions are different than your own.
"The OP is stupid, your wife should leave you, and your kids should be taken away from you." She won't, and they won't, and there's nothing you can do about it. Does that scare you? I hope it does. There will always be people who live outside your childish, close-minded idea of how the world works; maybe a little fear will open your mind a bit.
"Hrothgar is an example of a person i would never want to meet." And yet, you will meet me, or at least people of a like mind as me. Perhaps a little tolerance should be displayed from the people who preach tolerance, huh?
