Beyond Dawlish
And just for clairity Paul, are you referring to male homosexuality only or female homosexuality only or both forms of homosexuality?
Paul you need to understand , homosexuals and lesbians are born that way, that's in their genes, they don't choose to be the way they are, it's just a fact of life. Live and let live. But for the grace of God ......
@Lynne, - think of the plug on your kettle lead, it fits in a socket, it does not fit another plug, same for sockets.
That answers both questions.
Should the UK ban homosexuality?
I think they'd be better off banning masturbation, and particularly those who are the embodiment of that activity.
@Paul - so......... are you saying that because certain electrical sockets and certain electrical plugs fit together it therefore follows that such connections should determine human sexual activity?
You really saying that?
It's in to be gay or so it seems.
So could I point out it leaves more Rumpy Pumpy for those men who
love women's bits.Please Apply Above.
Well Elvis never wanted to try and will be returned unopened in this world.
But India and it's historic attitude to having female children leaves me to think there is
a shortage of partners so the men are batting for the other side.
PS what's with all this plug socket lark?
Shall we start by putting our washing in the washing machine?
Great to know such intolerance, bigotry and misunderstanding are alive and well in a small element of our society in 21st century Britain!!
The people of Hartlepool once hanged a monkey for being a French spy, I'm surprised Dawlish hasn't done the same.
@Paul - yes i know you used an analogy. but it didn't work, did it? and every time i post on this thread i am adding to it.
Guess who introduced the law in India? I'll give you a clue, below:-
The Supreme Court in India has upheld a colonial-era law making homosexuality illegal, overturning a 2009 ruling that decriminalised gay sex.
In 2009, the Delhi High Court ruled that Section 377 (unnatural offences) of the Indian Penal Code, which makes gay sex a criminal offence entailing punishment up to life imprisonment, was discriminatory and said that gay sex between consenting adults should not be treated as a crime.
Amnesty International's Chief Executive in India Ananth Guruswamy said of the ruling: 'This decision is a body-blow to people’s rights to equality, privacy and dignity. It is hard not to feel let down by this judgement, which has taken India back several years in its commitment to protect basic rights.'
Though people are rarely prosecuted under the law, which was created by the British rulers in 1861, those convicted face a fine and a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Activists say the law is used by police to harass gay couples.
Arvind Narayan, a lawyer of the Alternative Law Forum gay rights group, told reporters: 'Such a decision was totally unexpected from the top court. It is a black day for the community,' adding: 'We are very angry about this regressive decision.'
Another lawyer, Indira Jaisingh, said the decision was the 'imposition of a medieval mindset on the people of this country.'
So a few people don't agree with my opening post. What have I got wrong, how do your views differ from mine?
Oh Mcjrpc! That link you've given is so, so, funny taken in the context of certain comments on this thread. Everyone, please have a click on that link above. I burst out laughing when I saw its contents.
Maybe its not fashionable to be heterosexual anymore, as being gay seems to be the in thing. I do realize that it is in your genes and think gay people should be able to have relationships without fear of prosecution, but can somebody explain to me why it is now shoved in your face at all opportunity, it has been legal in this Country for years but you never heard much about anyone being gay but now its a daily occurance. Even Tom Daly is confused as he stated I still like girls.
@Paul. it might come as a surprise but homosexuality itself doesn't actually cause AIDS, unprotected sex of any sort contributes to the spread of it because it's transmitted via bodily fluids.
And in what way is it against nature? Nature evolves so who decides on what is natural at any given point, and has anyone told these critters? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior
@roberta - depends on one's stance. i don't see gay as being shoved in our faces all the time but rather that gay people now feel free to be open about their homosexuality and the more people who feel free to be so the more coverage there is and so on and so forth. ironically though i do agree with you in one way in that when being gay is taken as being as normal as being heterosexual then it will stop being an 'issue'. if something is not an issue then there is no need for it to get media coverage.
And with regards to Tom Daly - so Tom likes boys and Tom likes girls. Bisexual then.
@Mcjrpc - yeah animals. does make you wonder about all those randy dogs (and i mean dogs as opposed to the female of the canine species) who try to mount other dogs (as opposed to the female of the canine species).
@Paul Unbelievable that you think it's ok to imprison someone for upto ten years for loving someone else of the same sex. And as for your comments on electric plugs and sockets, here's my interpretation.
Oh Paul, oh Paul,
I’m so appalled
to hear your plug is far too small
to slot in the socket in the hall
between the pillars of mankind.
Now thanks to the wonders of modern science,
in which we place so much reliance,
just like the lesbian-gay alliance,
you can alter the shape of your appliance
in whatever way you feel inclined.
But in your trans-sexual interim,
I know from your post you think it’s grim
to flirt and skirt around the rim,
so just think of England, shout ‘bugger him’
as you slip in from behind.
Maybe you’ve suffered from some mishap
that’s obscured your sense of the gender gap.
I expect beneath you’re a pleasant chap.
Just cut the homophobic crap
and open up your mind.
it seems there are plenty out there ,that open their mouth to spill forth nothing of any substance,that can be backed up with any traceable facts,,
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic." -- Douglas Adams, from "A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
