This got me thinking. I have worked with many gay musicians and actors for the last 10 years in Manhattan. I don't think I've ever met any really rude ones except a couple of really flaming drama queens who just couldn't get along with anyone, gay or straight.
Genesis should not be taken so literally,in theology you learn the true meaning of Adam and Eve,and that those stories in genesis,should just be read as stories. The only way a person should be Judge,should be by his Heart. All Timmy did was reinforce the fact,that the sports world is not ready for this,very sad indeed.
lol, u think its normal? u think having sex with another guy is normal? u think gettin married with the same sex is normal? psshh
He isn't being flamed for being honest. He's being flamed for being a bigot. It is fine that he was honest. It isn't fine that he was a bigot. Being honest about being a bigot, doesn't make being a bigot acceptable.
Regardless of that, are you black? Because if you're not I'd like to know where you're getting all of your information about how Black people operate. It's not politically correct but I could say white people have no morals and are responsible for the degradation of society, however I'm not white so that would just be an unfair generalization based on what I see but not what is actually true. So how do you justify knowing what is and isn't normal for black people?
First, a tip - if you're going to discuss contrasting views on ignorance, you should consider your grammar. Using double negatives twice per sentence does little to make you look enlightened. Second - it's not so much about the fact Tim Hardaway wouldn't be comfortable with a gay teammate. I think had he said something like: "The gay lifestyle isn't in accordance with my faith and, personally, I'd be uncomfortable sharing a locker room with someone who is gay." Then there probably wouldn't be nearly as much fanfare about it. Sure, there'd still be people offended by that statement, but not nearly so many as when the man says, "I hate gays." That's on a whole different level. It's not very different than when Mel Gibson went on his drunken anti-semitic tirade about how jews are responsible for every war in history. When you make a statement that is outright hateful, people tend to get offended.
If psssshhhh is the best argument that you can come up with to defend your position, then you don't have much to base your argument on.
why are you dissing on Sam? What the hell are you talking about? Dudes love kicks. Ever heard of shoes called Jordans? do you shop at Payless? besides dont you know that Sam goes to the playa's club? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2097622 TORONTO -- Three National Basketball Association players, including Boston Celtics star Gary Payton, are due to appear in a Canadian court on Monday to face assault charges stemming from an incident outside a Toronto strip club, according to court documents obtained by Reuters on Wednesday. In April 2003, Payton, along with then teammates Sam Cassell and Jason Caffey, were charged after an altercation with one of the downtown club's dancers, her husband and the club's security guard. so go do the VSPAN! Sam shoots straight!
I htink though, that you have to be mindful of your speech. Especially when you are somehwat of a celebrity whose comemnts will be sure to gain some attention. Ephesians tells us that the tongue is extremely powerful as it has the power to hurt or help. Saying the truth is good, but you have to be mindful of the position you are in, and the manner in which you are delivering the truth. An "I'm not comfrotable with them in the locker room" would have sufficed. Using words like "hate" can actually incite harmful actions.
Before this thread gets locked, I want to weigh in on something - hotbolla, I agreee with just about zero of your opinions, but I think you're decision to split from D&D and reflect on your own posting style is extremely cool, no matter what the political / religious affiliation. Just saying that suggests far more self-criticism than most posters on these topics. Props.
For me when it comes to gays, I just simply avoid them. During my last semester in school, I had 2 roommates who I thought was gay. I kept communication with them to a minimal. I never gave them any "look" or any signs of "hate". We all have our feelings about certain people of society. And while we must all love one another there is always a group of people that is "hated" by one person or another. A lot of Christians "hate" rap/hip-hop. Yet I'm the type of person who would turn on some Dipset on the way to church.
duuude, look at my posts, did i ever say i HATED them? no, i agreed with him, but not on the hate part,i just dont agree with their lifestyle.
What percentage of human beings have to do something that hurts not one person for it to be "normal" to you?
