Just watching the news, and the whole of the london underground has been shut due to an series of explosions.

A bus has also exploded in london.

Yeah, good point.

A) I'm not your mate and B) I'm not digging.

My statement is clear:

I don't approve of/agree with/like the ACTS of homosexuality: 'One man/woman having sexual intercourse/oral sex with, kissing or petting another person of the same sex in a SEXUAL way'.

I hold nothing against homosexual people. But I believe that their homosexual actions are wrong.

I'm not digging. I'm standing my ground for what I believe in.

Well I don't know how this got from bombs to batty boys but I am going to say my position in the matter. I don't like gays. I was brought up not to like them, and I don't like them, at all. Any gay I have ever met has been someone who I couldn't stand to talk to or be with. My opinions on this matter are prejudiced but to be honest who cares. I'm not going to go out of my way to victimise gays but neither am I going to accept them. I just don't like them. Maybe if I ever meet one who I can get along or if I find out someone I respect and admire is homosexual my views may change.

Some people might 'get out' of homosexuality, but there are a huge number of others who try to deny their own feelings because they fear the backlash from people like Game and end up extremely depressed.

I'd rather just accept that everyone is different and let them make their own life choices than cause misery, thanks. (Not that I believe sexuality is 'choice', of course. Just the easiest way of phrasing it).

As I said though I don't really believe it myself and I'm certainly not a christian. I do believe that there has to be some kind of god up there, he's a bit of git a though.

I'm no christian and I know what I'm about to say is gonna cause a lot of different opinions from people on the boards. I've heard of and actually spoke to people who have come out of homesexuality through the christian church, just regular down to earth kind of people.

Christians believe that people aren't actually born homosexual, a lot of these feelings for the same sex come from their childhood and the way they were brought up, or things that have happened in their lives. Maybe there wasn't a major male figure in their upbringing, or they were abused when they were young or many other different things. I'm no expert on this kind of stuff though, and I'm not entirely sure about it all.

Look at the second thing I pointed out, Tilt.

The two are two very different things.

There's nothing intellectual about it mate...

Hush. Run along before you dig yourself into a deeper hole.
