Which websites shouldn't be on the net?

[mrmitchell]

No, no, no.

Websites that install malicious software on your computer should not be shut down.

The programmers of the software should be shot down.

Don't be a plonker all your life Obiwan... Homosexuality is not a sin.

"plonker?"

I don't seem to have that in my 'poly lexicon. Care to enlighten?

Believe it or not, I used to agree with you- longer than you might think I had a friend in my first year of university that needed somebody to talk to. From what he taught me, I used to argue that it was natural expression of sexuality. Now, everybody knows I'm a Christian, so they leave me alone. If they came to me, I would not turn them away, although I might tell them what they do not want to hear.

What really changed my mind on this issue, was the medical evidence that people can change their sexual orientation, depending on their motivation. Until then, I treated it as one would skin colour, an essential personal characteristic. Now it seems like alcoholism. Both have inherent social problems, both are difficult to overcome, and both seem to stem from genetic predispositions.

I'd like to see that evidence...
On second thought, nevermind that. Alcoholism is detrimental to the person's own health as well as the well-being of people around him/her. Homosexuality has no bad effects on anyone involved, except of course those extremists whose intolerant stance towards them is exactly what is causing those social problems you're talking about.
don't even know why I'm trying to discuss this.

Websites promoting Bush or Clinton. I have seen one and it was horrible.
What do you have against wares? I'm computer games developer and I like them.

Don't want to threadjack too much so I'll list increased incidence of STD's among active gay population.

Granted, this is not attributable to homosexuality per se, but to promiscuity.

It's a trope to blame intolerance for social problems- health problems like STD's remain even in tolerant cities like San Francisco, perhaps even exacerbated and encouraged.

He meant "plonkee". A "plonker" is someone who administers a "plonk" to a "plonkee".

[Ben Kenobi]

Leo, so a plonk is someone who swallows a troll hook line and sinker?

If that's so, I'm guilty as charged

[Lorizael]

I think homosexuals tend to be a bit more open about sex in general, considering that they do something that is so far from the "norm". This might be the reason for the increase in promiscuity that you speak of.

But... homosexuality isn't about sex. It's about love, as corny as that sounds. I really can't imagine a worse evil than not allowing someone to love.

[Dr Strangelove]

I don't think I've ever seen any websites showing dead bodies or promoting necrophilia. Why ban something that doesn't exist?

[Lorizael]

Have you looked?
