    Some people used to find the idea of a black man with a white woman to be disgusting or revolting.

    But they weren't racist or anything. They didn't hold animosity to blacks. They just found the sight disgusting. :rolleyes:

    Whatever that was, it was not any kind of a "phobia". And the people of that day, whatever else their faults, at least had enough integrity not to dishonestly try to characterize it as one.

    So you don't like words that end in -phobia therefore there's no hate crimes against gays, racial and religious minorities? Is that my understanding?

    Also I'd argue a lot of the homophobes have a fear of somehow being seduced by a gay man and getting their poopchute penetrated. Or parents of gay children having a fear that their son or daughter won't procreate more of their genetic offspring. Or fear of gays spreading a disease like they were branded as being the primary reason for AIDs to exist. Or fear that gays getting married somehow affects people's religious marriages through their own local parish. All these are everyday examples of homophobia.

    The one obviously has no connection to the other, as you surely know very well.

    Are you a liar? If you continue with the untruthful phobia attributions, then you are.

    I get it. I'm talking to a wall. Understood. There's no fear from people that don't like gays because of fear of having gay sex or being converted. There's no fear from religious folk that their marriage is less value because gays can get married. There's no fear of spread of disease from gay people like some people that don't like gays believe. I must be a liar for thinking otherwise.

    It is a lie that they generally do not like people who engage in homosexual activities. A few surely do. Many are just disgusted by the activities they engage in. That is even true for quite a few people who pretend not to find these practices revolting, surely including not just a few in the general social circles that you run in.

    No, there is no fear of being converted into a homosexual. LOL. That is surely one of the most ill-informed assertions ever typed on this board, which is a pretty major accomplishment.

    No, there is no fear by religious folks that there marriages are "worth less". I can promise you that very few religious folks have ever even thought about or considered that question. I certainly hadn't, prior to reading your post above. Seriously, where did you come up with this nonsense?

    As far as the spread of aids, are not homosexuals concerned to the point of fear about contracting aids?

    A phobia is a diagnosable level of fear, irrational and in many cases overwhelming, of something that on its own does not warrant anything like the level of fear that someone has of it. The fear reaction of someone diagnosed with a phobia is entirely disproportionate to the thing that they have a phobia towards. This is why these people seek and get treatment for this affliction.

    As far as a deadly disease, which has killed millions around the globe in horrifying fashion, are you trying to suggest that it is inappropriate for people to have a healthy fear of contracting this disease? It is my sense that there is something wrong with you if you put yourself in a position to get it and you have no such fear.

    But just because people fear a deadly disease, which is rational and clearly not any kind of a phobia, is does not follow that they fear or hate these people who have been disproportionately afflicted by it. Leftist lies to the contrary, notwithstanding.

    You can lie and insist otherwise, but you will be a liar if you do.

    I am talking about anticipation and you for some reason are trying to equate that to judgment. How leftist of you.

    Just FYI, I have not stated that this is even an act if terrorism, much less who did it. But there surely will not be very many people in this country who will be surprised at all (including myself) if it turns out that this was an act of terrorism and it turns out that it was radical Islamists jihadists who carried it out.

    Facts are lies. Got it. Man you're delusional.

    It's just libtard leftist propaganda. Obviously Democrats paid people to do these crimes not because they're gay but to issue a talking point with their brethren on CNBC. I've seen the light.

    Crimes they are and real tragedies as well. But does any of this legitimize your "homophobia" attributions? That list of crimes appears to be a list of hate crimes, not of fear crimes. So the answer is clearly no, it doesn't.

    Also, the support for your implication that these crimes were broadly supported by "religious people" appears to be entirely missing. Further, your broad brush stereotyping of "religious people" in this sort of a hateful manner is in actuality every bit as bigoted as those you falsely accuse.

    If you want to chastise someone for being a bigot, you should start with yourself.

    Where in your quote of me did I criticize religion? Where is my bigotry again? I just know that the arguments against gay marriage came from primarily religious institutions. I remember similar bulls-hit like "Marriage is for Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," while hearing more bulls-hit like, "If you let gay people get married then what's to stop a man from marrying his horse or from adults marrying children?" logical fallacy.

    I didn't lump all religious folk as the perpetrators of these crimes. I'm just pointing out that your talking point about homophobia being a leftist lie is utter bulls-hit. Those gay people didn't get their asses kicked for anything else other than being gay. That's why they're hate crimes. They're hated for being gay, stemming from homophobia which you think is just a made up word used by the left. It happened so often that government institutions like the FBI categorized crimes against people of race, religious belief and sexual orientation into specific targeted crimes instead of your run of the mill crime.

    So if those gay people didn't get attacked because of their sexual orientation then why did they? If it's not homophobia Mojoman, then why did they get targeted specifically based on their sexual orientation? What would you call it?

    What do you have to say to this particular hate crime against gays from the long list I gave?

    Nobody is afraid of homosexuals, leftist lies and baseless, hateful slurs to the contrary, notwithstanding.

    You are a liar, and not the only one by any means.

    Due to the excessive length, obviously I didn't read London's Burning's long post, but is he trying to justify this bombing due to how gays have been treated in the past? Is that your point, bro?

    It's a sidetrack from the original post. My replies have to do with this particular post from Mojoman.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=10693044&postcount=124

    Which is very clearly bulls-hit and I'm apparently a liar for calling him out on it.
