Hatemongering Becoming A Problem On Orkut
jaquesparrow writes "Orkut is a well known beta experiment, an invite only environment based on social networks. Recently it has been reported that hate and racism is proliferating on Orkut. Besides the story in the Wilmington Star, the International Herald Tribune also has commentary on the situation." From the article: "For Google, the trouble on Orkut - which is still in beta, or test, form - could easily escalate. A prosecutor in Brazil, where the service is especially popular, has already initiated an investigation into some of the more virulent Orkut sites."
So he/she basically exploited the system the way one of SCO's IP lawyers would. What a shame...
Don't call them gays. Call them people who participate in homosexual behavior.
Therefore you are discriminating against the behavior, and not the people.
Hence, if you are not a troll, you will know that the bible (specifically New Testament) gives specific instructions on how to deal with someone sinning.
Is it really "discrimination" or "hatred" if I dare to save them from the hell fire by telling them that what they do is wrong?
Yes. I can't support this argument.
As I said, this is latent intolerant and discriminating.
nuff said.
I could go on and on forever. The point is that according to my religion gays are sinners, even if many of them are not aware of that. Is it really "discrimination" or "hatred" if I dare to save them from the hell fire by telling them that what they do is wrong? I am not discriminating, I am against violence. I only want to educate people. I only talk to people, write to people, write articles. Is that really wrong? Is education really the same as the crimes of holocaust? Do we really have to compare education to hatred for Jews?
Education implies that you impart some truth upon people. The only truth you've imparted on me today is that the Bible is an instrument of hate and repression.
Personally, I don't believe in God. I don't believe in hell and I think Jesus was a clever, manipulative man but a man non-the-less. If that makes me a sinner in your eyes then so be it - I'll gladly live in sin because your alternative looks such much worse.

I am not discriminating, I am against violence. I only want to educate people. I only talk to people, write to people, write articles. Is that really wrong?
No, on two conditions - you don't advocate any anti-gay/anti-abortion/bible-based laws and if people tell you to get lost and never talk to them again you respect their wishes. Law is very much a form of violence. If you don't obey, policemen will show up and eventually kill you if you continue to resist them.
The cause of racism is honesty, not overpopulation. Racism has been around, even in times when populations were much smaller. The thing that makes racists stand out from everyone else, is they admit to their true thoughts.
I'm sure there are times when a nego does something you don't like, and you think to yourself, "Figures, he's a dirty nigger." You just want to pretend to go along with the current tolerance in the zeitgeist. But, seriously, how long can that last? As people get more and more fed up with having to deny their true thoughts, and lie to themselves, there will be a backlash. Even worse than the political correctness movement in America are the laws in Europe. They're actually trying to regulate people's thoughts. It's quite sickenning.
In the end, it is inevitable only because people believe that not everyone is created equal (which is absolutely true). Now, you can argue about which group, as a whole, is better than another (and I have a very strong opinion on this). This will never change, because by virtue of the fact that there are different races, the various races will always have identifiable characteristics (physical, mental, and social). It then becomes a question of what you consider to be "more correct" and the associated importance.
You can pretend that these thoughts don't exist all you want. But they do exist. And you, like everyone else, have them.
