Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Ben Kenobi]

Why would it be a compliment?

Uh. Gee. I dunno.

Perhaps someone can help kentonio out here why calling me 'gay' is a slur.

[Kidlicious]

Where did "he" say this. The attribution is what I am challenging. Please show me what you are seeing that is actually his words, and not someone else's words. That's the problem here.

Why does Imran know what I'm talking about and not you? Obviously you intend to be an ass as usual.

[kentonio]

Again, I'm pretty sure you weren't exactly complimenting me there. Nice backpedal though.

Why would it be a compliment? Being gay isn't better than being straight, just as being straight isn't better than being gay.

I don't know why you struggle so much with this very simple concept.

[Ben Kenobi]

He said people ask him is homosexuality is a sin, and he says basically God loves homosexuals. That's not an answer. In fact, he doesn't word it in an answer. Shouldn't he answer?

Suggesting someone could be gay is only an insult

Again, I'm pretty sure you weren't exactly complimenting me there. Nice backpedal though.

At least you managed to out actual prejudice.

[Kidlicious]

Where did the Pope say this? That's the point. If I say, "the pope said this", then I'd better have a quotation from him.

The other page (#828?)

It's an easy way to settle this: Link us to, or post images of(in case someone edits their posts ) the exchange in question.

It's the previous page on this thread, you can read it yourself. What I actually said was..

The only people who are that homophobic are people deeply frightened about their own sexuality. So Ben, when are you going to inevitably come out of the closet?

You'll notice the remarkable lack of anti-gay sentiment there.

[kentonio]

Hmm, do you think he appreciates you using gay as an epithet?

Suggesting someone could be gay is only an insult if you think that being gay is a bad thing. I don't think being gay is a bad thing, and therefore when I suggest you might be gay that isn't an insult. It takes a special kind of homophobia to think it is really, you should try and be more comfortable around your own sexuality.

As for what MrFun thinks, I'm sure he's quite capable of coming in here and telling us that himself, I'm certainly not going to try and put words in his mouth.

[Kidlicious]

I'm homophobic because I think that gay people are just people like everyone else? O....k....

No, because you think they are like BK.

[Ben Kenobi]

No he didn't, I called you a piece of trash and he said I shouldn't insult trash by comparing it to you

Hmm, do you think he appreciates you using gay as a slur? I thought we've all moved past that line of thinking. Perhaps one day the British will catch up.

because there's nothing wrong with being gay

Mhmm. Sure, which is why you're accusing me of being gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[kentonio]

Kentonio is obviously homophobic.

I'm homophobic because I think that gay people are just people like everyone else? O....k....

[Kidlicious]

Like Socrates

(or, you know... Jesus sometimes)

When someone asks if they are sinning, and the Pope answers like that there is a problem. He's not Socrates or Jesus.

[kentonio]

Backpedalling again.

It's the standard manual. Accuse everyone who states that homosexuality is sinful to be gay, rinse repeat.

Don't you tire of the same old playbook. Running it up the gut isn't going to save you.

Suggesting that someone is gay is not an accusation, because there's nothing wrong with being gay. It's not complicated, please try and keep up.

Fun posted in the other thread, and asked you not to do this. Odd that, Kentonio ignoring facts when it suits him.

Fun at least gets that attacking people and accusing them of being gay is a terrible argument.

No he didn't, I called you a piece of trash and he said I shouldn't insult trash by comparing it to you. Did you really think he was defending you?!

What in the name of **** are you actually talking about? MrFun hasn't posted

I suggest if you have any actual content that you advance an argument that's not simply YOUR GHEY!!11!!1!

Please. It's boring. Yes, we get it. You think I'm gay. Fascinating.
