NEWS: Teen Sent To Gay "Treatment" Camp Against His Will

djohnsto77, educate you on what? You BLAME the gay community, state that you don't know if they had any influence.

Does 2+2=7?

It's pretty clear to me. You blame without evidence=agenda.

Reread the thread, if you can't see it for yourself, you are truely blind.

I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding. DJohnSto77 seemed to be blaming the gay community's cultural influence for the child getting the idea to come out to his parents as he did. The part he wasn't sure about is if this kid was activly sought out to be a martyr by some gay activist group. Two very different things, although I can see how they may be seen as being tied together.

At least, that's how I read it.

ok, well it's only human to make assumptions. I'm assuming he's been "educated" by many to be open about his sexuality even to his "ignorant" parents. I don't think this is necessarily healthy. I certainly don't mean to be anti-gay, which is what I thought you meant. I just think some things are best kept to yourself, especially from those who have power over you such as parents over a minor child. You may disagree, but that's my opinion.

yeah... religion is the cure for "gay"...

sure worked for the catholics (and protestants also)

Jon stewart says it best...
"if you are gay, and looking for a hookup... go to an anti gay rally...
they are all frikin closet cases..."

this camp is providing America with enough closet gays to last for decades...

.
I blame djohnsto77 for not being forced to hide his opinons from the world and cower in shame for his bigotry.

This is sick.
Torturing someone for inate biological tendencies.

Would you torture someone with Down's Syndrome because they were supposed to be a mathematical genious or at least competent?

Just sick.

Would you torture a Dog to try to force it to behave like a cat?

Just sick.

I hope these parents and society comes to its senses before the ruin more lives and expose themselves to be the ignorant bigoted monkeys they are.
.

I think it is sick for people to say it is "ok" to be gay. Our society as a whole has degenerated as far as to say it is alright to go against natural order. Homosexuality is contradictory to nature.

As it has been said before, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

[edit on 16-6-2005 by BadMojo]

Well, if "god" made Adam and Steve there would have been a problem populating the Earth now, wouldn't there? That would have been a dumb move..
Now that "god" is making gays, does that make god imperfect?
BTW, "god" has been a bachelor, for a really long time,
you don't think.....hmmm..

Yes, your ignorance has been noted. Grow up.

If what is said of d77, cool. I'll back off.

Your denial of the facts is noted...have a nice day.

I have plenty of "nice days". I can even live with myself.

God doesn't "make" gays. God created everything in 6 days and rested. This includes those who prefer to act contrary to nature. My difference in view does not constitute "ignorance".

OK,
The Earth is overpopulated with humans.
Is a non-procreative couple contrary to nature?

Mojo, you've got to be kidding me.

*snip*

There is a lot more

So you have first hand knowledge what it like to be gay?

You know that God created the world in "6 days"?

Let's look at "know".

Again Merriam Webster:

1 a (1) : to perceive directly

2 a : to be aware of the truth or factuality of : be convinced or certain of b : to have a practical understanding of

I'd say "ignorance" fills the the bill better than the "know".

Or are you in the "know" when it comes to homosexuallity?

By definition, you are ignorant of me. You have no knowledge of me or my history. Simply by reading, studying, and understanding the Bible, I know what has happened and what will happen.

Man, I would love to be ignorant to you, I cast off that type of thinking when I reached adulthood. Alas, it is not meant to be.

BTW, I'm not "ignorant" of you, I know exactly what fires your synapses.

Been there, done that. I hope at the end of the day you're able to look yourself in the mirror.

I've atoned for my ignorance.

Be well.

oh please, intrepid. Your flaming/trolling has become tiresome. For future use, it may be easy for you to know "exactly" who someone is from behind a keyboard, but I wouldn't suggest it in person...you may embarass yourself.

Anyone who supports this kind and torture and abuse, deserves to be killed.
Preferably in the most uncomfortable manner possible.

xmotex,

I hope you are kidding.
It's just a case of ignorance, I've been there myself, glad you weren't around at the time!

I'm not kidding.

You can propose the murder of 70 million human beings in here, and no-one bats an eyelash.

Admit your hatred for sick fundies that torture kids, and all of a sudden you're a bad guy.

This is, for me, a very personal thing.
I've seen firsthand the effect these places have on people, and it's not pretty.

I'm "flaming/trolling" you?

I just became aware of you due to your ignorance.

Go to church and spout off with the rest of the "flock", maybe 1 of them will get it and leave the flock because they are sick of degeneration.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I know it doesn't for you, sad.
