Blizzard Responds To Gay Guild Debate
Edge Online reports that Blizzard has responded to the issues raised by a gay guild trying to recruit in public chat. From the article: "We encourage community building among our players with others of similar interests, and we understand that guilds are one of the primary ways to forge these communities. However, topics related to sensitive real-world subjects -- such as religious, sexual, or political preference, for example -- have had a tendency to result in communication between players that often breaks down into harassment." We discussed this story when it first came up last week.
If this guy used any more grovelling, shameless weasel words in that pathetic excuse for an excuse, he would surely have reverted back to the protoplasmic ooze from which he is comprised.
"But the Christians..."
I actually don't need to. It's well established and well known that homosexuals are born that way. I'm not making any new claims here, just pointing out that the claims that homosexuals choose to be gay are completely contrary to all the legitimate research. If I say the sky is blue, I don't need to provide anything, because it's a well-known fact that the sky is blue. If someone is arguing that the sky is hot pink with lime green stripes, they are the ones who have to show that.
It's not my job to educate the ignorant. I think that everybody hear knows what the facts are, can discern legitimate research from the phony "research" that is passed out by bigots, and can use a library to educate themselves. The people making the claim that homosexuals choose to be gay have to give us their research, or shut up.
Thanks for giving me the chance to say it again: "These bigots are entitled to their own opinions, but they aren't entitled to their own facts".
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Wow, how stupid are you to assume I thought this was genuine, given this line from my OP:
Perhaps I should have thrown in the anime smiley to make it perfectly clear, but that seems to get your panties in such a twist...

Dude, first off, begin sentences with caps and get a spell checker. It'll do wonders for your credibility.
seeing how Christains are such doubble standard people. they really just need to keep their mouth shut.
I'm a Christian. I don't have a double-standard. I talk a lot. What are you going to do to me? Cry all over my shoes?
there are jesus freaks and there are Christains.. some times they are the same but not always.
I'm not sure that was English, but, OK, I think I understand your point. And there are homosexuals and there are homosexuals with enormous chips on their shoulders who feel they are being oppressed and mocked if their local Walmart doesn't sell lavender-scented air freshener. So what's your point?
Adoption isn't evil. No one said anything was evil in this discussion.
It also isn't about genes within a species but genes of the species just not getting passed down. And the that homosexuality continues to occur and has not terminated itself like many other dysfunctions suggests that it is not genetic.
Apart from that, you seem to like a lot abortion and I urge you to undergo the proceedure on yourself.
Homosexuality is so clearly not genetic as it still exists and hasn't terminated itself as a genetic abnormality.
You are a bigot against conservatives, property owners, anyone who can actually build or create anything of value as evidenced by your signature.
You're also a pornographer.
