Would you have relations with the same sex gender for 10 million dollars?

[Fonzie]

I'll throw you guys a curve ball.

If you're gay, you have to have sex with the opposite gender. >=]

Guys, it's his moral opinion, not yours, so you should let him alone. He's not saying that you should have the same one as him, so what's the deal? Don't call it dumb just because you disagree.

That opinion is dumb until proven otherwise.

And it's never been proven otherwise.

[Caraliz]

i'd do it. as long as it was like alice or something that would be kinda hot.

I'd say the same about this opinion.

If a person of any sexuality would feel bad about sex with the same/opposite sex, then it hardly seems 'dumb' for them to be morally opposed to doing what they find repugnant. Similarly, I'm morally opposed to promiscuity and prostitution - so if a dozen people line up and offer me cash for sex, it wouldn't be 'dumb' for me to refuse on moral grounds.

Changing my stance on same sex marriages and relationships.

would you leave him alone already? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and as far as i can see he aint hurting anybody.

We get it, you dont like him thinking that way.

Ignorance is rarely harmless.

[Big D]

What he said was, "...most people think it's okay and I don't go stopping the people that do it because it's their decision. But personally I'd feel very uncomfortable and guilty doing stuff like that with the same gender."

Basically, it seems he doesn't care if others do it but it's not right for him. Are you saying that he's "ignorant" unless he starts enjoying homosexual activity?

[Roto13]

"It's not for me but I don't mind if other people do it" is not nearly the same as it being against your very moral code.

You don't use words like "moral issue" and "guilt" to say that something is ok, but not your cup of tea.

[Big D]

"It's not for me but I don't mind if other people do it" is not nearly the same as it being against your very moral code.

My "very moral code" says that promiscuity and prostitution are wrong for me. A moral code doesn't need to be a set of rules that one mindlessly imposes on everyone regardless of their circumstances. I'm repelled by the notion of me being promiscuous, but obviously I don't apply that reasoning to others.

[Roto13]

I'm not talking about being a whore. I'm talking about homosexuality in general.

[Big D]

I'm not talking about being a whore. I'm talking about homosexuality in general.

I know. I was just using the promiscuity thing as an example of how my moral code functions. I don't do it, and I'd deeply regret doing it, but others do it and that's entirely up to them. Same as Evastio's angle on homosexuality, apparently. It'd go against his morals to give or to receive same-sex lovin' and it'd cause him lasting regret. But he's also said that he accepts homosexuality in others and doesn't impinge on a matter of personal choice.

I don't buy that. It's not against your morals if it only applies to you. It's just not your thing. If you think people should/shouldn't do something, that's morality. If you don't want to do something but you don't care if other people do it, that's not morality.

[rubah]

why isn't it? is there a difference between morality and personal values?

The kids at stanford seem to think it can apply just to the personal life.

[Roto13]

Yes.
