Ban on gay blood donors upheld by panel

[Ben Kenobi]

Cite a reputable source or retract your bigoted statement.

1. Homosexual men are more likely to contract HIV.

2. HIV is more likely to kill homosexual men when they are young.

3. Ergo, homosexual men are more likely to die young than any other population breakdown.

It's not a hard argument Asher.

As for 'reputable source', you've cited one already. Just because it disagrees with you doesn't make the source bigotted. It just means you are wrong. Again.

[Ben Kenobi]

He seems to think that homosexuality is caught from older men when they sexually assault children.

Where did I say this?

If this were true, wouldn't it mean that I believed homosexuality wasn't a choice?

Therefore if discrimination causes a gay teen to commit suicide the gays are responsible because they turned him gay.

I think they would be responsible because they sexually assaulted him, but I guess this works too. Who's the bigot here?

[giblets]

Asher refers to priests, when 90 percent of the abuse is between adult men and teenage boys, exactly what Mr. Fun was referring to. And in some unfortunate cases the boy chooses to commit suicide.

Where are you getting this percentage?

[Ben Kenobi]

You're changing the subject. I was talking about suicide rates among gay teenagers due to the stresses in living in a homophobic and heterosexist society.

And I'm talking about boys who kill themselves after being sexually assaulted by an older man. These are a subset of this suicide rate, no?

Or do you deny this?

Or do you consider this part of a homophobic society?

[Ben Kenobi]

Where are you getting this percentage?

Go find the priest abuse thread, it's all there. 90 percent of the abuse is boys and men.

[DaShi]

But you haven't disproved that homosexual men are generally healthier than heterosexual men that could offset the incidence of HIV among them, especially given that modern treatments can allow HIV infected individuals to live well into their fifties and later.

Also, African Americans are often more likely to die young because of violent crime. Southern Whites are often more likely to die young because of stupidity. Asians are more likely to die young because of suicides. Christians are more likely to die young for all the reasons above.

[Al B. Sure!]

Yes, and this is unfortunate. Asher refers to priests, when 90 percent of the abuse is between adult men and teenage boys, exactly what Mr. Fun was referring to. And in some unfortunate cases the boy chooses to commit suicide.

Ben, even if it were true that 90% of the abuse is between adult men and teenage boys (WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A LOAD OF **** BECAUSE PLENTY OF GIRLS ARE MOLESTED! IN FACT, GIRLS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE MOLESTED THAN BOYS!), how does that mean that the boys were all homosexual? That's what you're implying. Are you saying all the boys molested were gay themselves? By what coincidence did that happen?

[giblets]

Go find the priest abuse thread, it's all there. 90 percent of the abuse is boys and men.

"90% are boys" is not "90% are teenage boys"

[Al B. Sure!]

Approximately 15% to 25% of women and 5% to 15% of men were sexually abused when they were children

See? Or did you mean 90% of molested boys were molested by men, not 90% of molestations are men and boys?

[Ben Kenobi]

Ben, even if it were true that 90% of the abuse is between adult men and teenage boys

WRT to priests, yes this is the case.

how does that mean that the boys were all homosexual?

I'm saying that some of the gay teens who commit suicide have been sexually abused by men. Certainly not all of those who commit suicide were assualted, or that all who were assaulted commit suicide.

[giblets]

Still no evidence of a correlation between being homosexual and being a rapist...

[Ben Kenobi]

"90% are boys" is not "90% are teenage boys"

This is your argument?

51% between the ages of 11 and 14, and 27% between the ages to 15 to 17 years

Of the total.

The victims were as likely to be boys, as they are to be adolescents.

I suggest this isn't a profitable line for you to pursue.

[Asher]

Why is Ben not banned? Seriously?

Not only is he bigoted and hateful, he's making up random things and passing them as fact to push his agenda.

He's a stain on this site.

[Ben Kenobi]

Still no evidence of a correlation between being homosexual and being a rapist...

Girls are 3x as likely to be sexually assaulted as boys.

If we assume that the perpetrators are 90 percent male, and that gay men are 5 percent of the population, this means that 5 percent of the population is committing roughly 25 percent of the overall sexual assault rate. This means that a gay man is about 5x as likely on average to commit sexual assault.

[MrFun]

He's also the primary source for others' headaches and migraines on here.
