What with your 2:1, I'd think you an intellectual. Face it, you just can't represent the salt/scum of the earth so give in to your inner liberal urges. The evil of tolerance and the gluttony of consideration...

"What with your 2:1, I'd think you an intellectual."

Maybe I should have failed a couple of modules for a 2:2..

You're just a highly qualified scally. Don't get ideas above your station

Ben, you fear homosexuals because you have not explored your own sexuality.

Uh, I don't think you know me that well...

If you really wanted to play psychologist, then I'd have plenty more things to bring out on the table.

You're weak and try to appear strong by playing the fear into hate.

I agree with you, that to hate is to be weak, but I don't do either. I don't mind being among homosexuals, and I have been friends with several.

I think you should coin the term Whaleboy uses, homoism. It just sounds proper'

[Ramo]

I prefer the term "sexism," since bigotry towards gays is just another aspect of intolerance towards deviation from rigidly conceived gender roles.

No, you wish you were- it's the subjunctive you should be using, but then if you 'was' an intellectual, you'd know that.

As for Obi Gyn-

"The term 'arachnophobia' is used to mean a fear of spiders. So why should a homophobe be simply one who disagrees with homosexuals?"

Not disagrees- but shows a dislike or hatred of or for.

I don't recall saying it had a clinical psychological definition like ailurophobia or acrophobia, so I don't where you received that erroneous notion from.

As I stated- usage determines meaning in English- do you go about telling people they may not use decimate unless they're referring to a Roman punishment of soldiers, or that aggravate doesn't mean to irritate but to worsen?

Or that a hippopotamus isn't related to horses, and that television combines Greek and Latin roots?

And that an apron should be a napron?

If so, good luck paying your doctor's bills.

Oh the temptations.... When it comes to your diatripe, you may as well lump the two together and call it "poor reasoning".

I prefer to call this flamebaiting, or trolling for short.

Why do the homoists always think they have a degree in psychology or something

[Whaleboy]

"homoist" is a term I have coined for you seeing as you take exception to "phobia" as so I made a more accurate term for you more along the lines of "racist".

And if you want me to be pedantic, I've studied psychology on part and full time bases for the last four years .

What, you've read a few left-wing websites?
