Are you suggesting that if I secretly recorded my roommate having straight sex, that there would be no intention to embarrass and humiliate? Or simply that gay people deserve higher protection from the same fate everyone faces: social embarassment. I was bullied. But because I wasn't gay, it wasn't as bad then, right?
As for your second paragraph, no, it's nothing like that.
Please explain the mechanism by which being more specific in a truth makes it anti something. No, how people react doesn't mean jack shit. People reacted negatively to The Simpsons. That doesn't automatically mean it's anti-family. You're logic seems to be grasping at straws.
He's a coward. End of story. Suicide is simply not having the coping skills you need. You can seek help, or be a coward. Those are the only 2 options. The ones I know who survived their suicide attempts are still alive because they sought help.
But a lot of people are acting like because he is gay, the penalty should be higher.
I'd like to see a link of the heart attack during robbery issue - seeing as heart disease is the #1 killer, and it's a result of growing old and/or lifestyle, how can the robber really be to blame? The heart was unhealthy enough to fail during a robbery, and it's the security guard's job to... guard. Not die. Not only should the robber not be charged with any death in this case, but any security guard who can't make it through doing his duties without his body failing should not be allowed to perform such duty. The security guard might have drank alcohol all his life, making heart disease way more likely. Should the robber be on the hook for that death?
I once tried to crash at a large new year's party in a room where there was also a girl present. She would not sleep in the same room because I might "try something" (which was ridiculous, but she was a christian). So anyway, if she had said, "That means I need to watch my pussy", does that mean she's heterophobic and it's a bias statement?
That guy didn't cause the kid's death. He just pranked him. The combination of society's homophobia and the kid's total lack of coping skills killed him. Saying "i caught my roommate having gay sex" isn't homophobic. It's simply fact.
Which comment did he make that was homophobic? simply stating that your roommate is doing it with a another dude is plain fact. Is the truth homophobic?
It's no different than secretly filming your roommate having straight sex. The only difference is that one is frowned upon more, and that is society's fault, not the individual who recorded him's fault. And reacting to something society disapproves of via suicide is a lack of proper coping skills. Did the guy even seek help? Probably not. Cowardly. Of course people are mad. This is sad. But it's not direct action. It's a bunch of shitty shit that happened.
(But the real answer is: he was never charge with causing any death. Because such charges wouldn't stick. Because that's not how legal causality works.)
Because if I hurt your feelings so bad you kill yourself, it's really your fault for having a glass jaw. I mean, what if this comment I'm typing right now made you kill yourself? Am I then guilty of killing you?
what makes you think i type my "garbled string" (which is actually a patterned rhythm used for 20 yrs, but moved around on the keyboard) any slower than my normal 100WPM? Conversely, what makes you think I can type English words any faster than my normal 100WPM?
You can't even read your G+ feed on Google Reader, which kills it for me. I post but never read. Very rare responses compared to Facebook. Facebook, btw, can be read in google reader. Oh the irony.
You just equated this as being the same as unprotected sex. Because anyone who gets a negative result would then have unprotected sex? You're thinking just like the fundies! No wonder you have your ridiculous conclusion. (It's also funny that you think they didn't consider your scenario in their numbers.)
Uh, no. For any prudent person, A negative result would mean going through with the protected sex would be safer. A positive result would mean it would not be worth even having safe sex. You assume the worst then extrapolate that out to everyone. You make fun of fundies while thinking like them.
..... net less of new infections. Less new infections. 4,000 fewer new infections. 46,000 new infections next year instead of 50,000. Clearly you did not read the article.
Now, someone's at a bar on a friday night, and they've decided to hook up. What is your alternative? There is none. So they die instead. I'm talking about when this is released, not a hypothetical future years from now when a better test is released.
Wow. Create a false dichotomy, stick it in my mouth, attack it as a strawman, and call me the one who created it. You are truly fucked. By the FDA's own calculation it will have a net loss of 4,000 infections a year. If you don't like that, maybe you can be one of them and go die.
After you've cooked it into your rice and meat, canned food tastes the same as fresh. If you're eating it straight - that's where the real difference lies. I love fruit week!

If they are lesbians though, that would be a hate crime, right! :)

because if you secretly record straight sex, it's invasion of privacy, but if you secretly record gay sex, it's a hate crime?

A certain amount of accidents are not preventable. Shit actually does happen. Texting is preventable. Having the best driving skill is not.
Yup! I sure remember a lot of youths being demonized for causing fatal car accidents while playing Dungeons and Dragons in their car. #Moron

because it would take longer to type
Yeah... "if you want X don't Y" statements don't really move any discussions further.
suspect? Tons of sites already offer that, like Ustream. ;)

It must suck to live in a backward world where progress is considered bad.
But yea, this doesn't work unless you ALSO get some ripe ones AS WELL.
We order online delivery, and it's nice they have the option to order both kinds separately even tho it's teh same price.
