He is able to fight the feeding instinct to prove his point and starving himself to death, he is able to throw off survival instinct and sacrifice his life for what he believes in, it is thousand times more easy to abandon his genetically programmed "<3 the cock" instinct brought in by X chromosoby Kstatida - OT Board
What has more philosophical basis and work behind it is the concept of rights and specifically the "natural rights" or natural law, which is based on the "do to others what you would want others do to you". Therefore right to speak is obviously inherent and natural, but is limited by borders that offend or defamate. You are free to speak ideas, but you are not free to defamateby Kstatida - OT Board
Around the same time ago "Don't ask, don't tell" principle was introduced in U.S. Now we have a senator who tries to push it to Russian legislature. I would push for ruining his political career, as the principle is definitely a step forward, opening Overton window a ilttle bit more, you just don't realize it until it's too late.by Kstatida - OT Board
Commercial representatives have "% of the shelf" KPI for a reason. If all of the shelves are filled with Coke, the buyers have no choice but to buy Coke. If half of the shelves is filled with Pepsi, a decent percentage of buyers will take Pepsi. If you add Dr.Pepper, some of the buyers will buy it as well. So by adding gay promoting books to the book shelves (and gay-friendly NGOs acby Kstatida - OT Board
Gay are more atomized than normal, their ties to other people are less strong, less depends on them. If gay people divorce - noone cares, if gay people die - noone cares. Normal families are much more bound together, as Louis C.K. stated in one of his sketches: "I have two children, I can't die" :) Power of society lies within its unity. Gay is what brings society apart, not togby Kstatida - OT Board
To adress this issue, in Russia, advertizing homosexuality to children is forbidden, homosexuality itself is not and we have gay clubs and all that sort o things. But it is allowed to go nowhere near children. Pretty much addresses the issue. But then again, it's purely raison d'etat, we do need population at least twice as big as we have now. U.S., I get it, is another matter. Howevby Kstatida - OT Board

You have those "family basics" in every kindergarden. Mother, father and you are family, there's also grandmothers and grandfathers, do you have brother and sister? All standard education programs have these. there are also tons of books for children, and if you add gay facts to the child books, that's clearly promoting gay to children. I've seen some weirdest gay shitby Kstatida - OT Board
If people with those forms flof genetic sterility had the comparable population as gay society, that would be a clear indication of you being correct. But when around 10% of population in a european country identifies themselves as gay - that's anything but genetic.by Kstatida - OT Board
Society offense is when people are offended. Like if someone goes on a swearing rampage in a public place or swing a gun (even with no intent of shooting). That is a crime however noone in particular is hurt. So the crime object is society, public safety. About society resources. I don't know about U.S., but we in Russia have a lot of government programs which help families (especially yoby Kstatida - OT Board
Of course you're wrong. If you promote homosexuality, you create homosexual people. If you ban homisexuality, you ban people from becoming homosexual even if they are inclined toit genetically, and your cuktural customs will even force them into marriage and having children. Stating that homosexuality is programmed by genes, on the contrary, has no scientific evidence and contradicts theby Kstatida - OT Board
If you create an option and advertise it - you automatically create demand. That's basics of marketing. From now on, when they teach your kids in school about family, they will add "oh and you can do gay marriage as well" - which will market gay marriage to your kids, creating more gays than there were before. Basically, without marketing, you only have x% of "genetically gby Kstatida - OT Board

Aside from the word "marriage", homosexual marriage has nothing in common with heterosexual marriage. So before, noone was allowed to have homosexual marriage, hence equal protection of rights. Pursuit of happines or whatever is limited by protection of others' rights, and in case of homosexual marriage, the object offended is society and state, as homosexual marriage has purelyby Kstatida - OT Board

that making homosexual marriage legal means government went to stay out of the marriage. Because from the state health point of view, marriage should be enforced as heterosexual. So long-term, allowing and encouraging for homosexual marriage is suicidal for demographics, hence not in government's interests. So I find this intriguing and fun to observe.by Kstatida - OT Board
