Forget it, not being wrong is so important to you I dont think anything could pierce through the intellectual ghetto youve built inside your head

Consequences of overbearing mothers.

Impeding the boy’s natural gravitation towards things that boys love to do, (i.e. rough sports and aggressive play)

By constantly scolding, condemning, yelling and screaming at him. This commonly used tactic erodes a boy’s self-confidence

By being a domineering or overbearing mother. These single moms not only bruise their son’s male ego, but they mutilate his male identity and condition him to be a cowardly passive male

Constantly seeing his mother crying or throwing temper tantrums. When a boy sees these seemingly harmless emotional outbursts, he becomes conditioned to respond to the issues and pressures of life in the same manner as his mom.

Unbelievably sexist, not to mention.

How can you possibly twist that to say its sexist. And btw that came from a study done in Georgia.

-point 2 assumes all mothers do is scold, condemn, yell and scream at their sons which erodes their self confidence. This is an arbitrary line that's completely undefined. What is 'too much yelling'? What's 'just enough'? How can you quantify that?

-'domineering or overbearing' - my mother wasn't like that, just like many other mothers aren't like that. Another false accusation attempting to generalize all mothers as something they're not

-'constantly crying or throwing temper tantrums' - seriously? That's all women do, from sun up to sun down, bitch, moan and complain about everything...

You're severely misinformed about homosexuality, even in light of the facts you bury your head in the sand and dismiss them, while simultaneously making unsubstantiated claims and fail to cite any sources. "A study in Georgia" OK! Guess that proves it!

I'm done wasting any more of my time on this with you. Have a good one..

And for the icing on my cake, heres screenshots of a PDF I downloaded of a study done at Colombia University.

It was a study done on single moms and their sons.

studies, studies, studies History- of passive cowards that is.... 1) Alexander the great- conquered the known world..... homosexual tendancies 2) Juliius Ceasar and probably about half of his army 3) the 300 at the Battle of Thermopoli- had sex with eachother to form a greater bond in battle thats just a few... homosexuality has been common and was accepted as completely normal human behavior up until the birth of what?.... you got it- christianity. Stay out of peoples bedrooms

I dont have time to provide all the links for you again.. but i guess a short summary would be that homosexual feelings is an anomaly in sexual development that can be brought on by environmental factors during childhood. Its not a conscious choice, but its not permanently in you either. Unless you had a really fucked up childhood

epic trolling.

"homosexual feelings is an anomaly"

repeat that a few times and see what you sound like.

omfglol

Well, that's a choice. Nothing like a Cowboy Kiss in the teeth.

Homophobia. I never understood that, until recently. Fear OF gays? Oh no. It's about the fear we are gay, right? Homophobes go to great lengths to distance themselves.

Thats why I purposely left out any religious anything in the post lol.. that way none of you can use that as an argument. I think, on a scientific level, that homosexuality is sort of an emotional disorder.

Dr. K, could you enlighten us regarding the evidence you use to diagnose the homosexual emotional disorder from a scientific point of view?

The biggest homophobe I know does not begrudge gay people any rights or privileges, or want to effect their life's in any way. He is more than happy to live and let live, yet he is deeply scared of homosexuals. Sometimes it's actual phobia and not hatred, although you nailed the true motivation behind it, fear of being seen as gay. As long as he is not seen as gay, my friend is fine with homosexuality. Unfortunately he feels that associating with or defending gay people will make him look gay, so he is irrationally opposed to it.

Homosexuals are often very angry people. There seems to be a hostility towards Christians. Would that make those homosexuals who are anti-Christian "Christophobes"?

You are comparing a sexual preference with an ideology designed to provide answers. Can you explain the criteria you are comparing between these two terms?

You must not live near San Francisco or another mecca. So perhaps you are just turning the phase, but I don't get it.

"Angry" people? No. Not at all. "Hostility?" No. You are mixed up about who shows hostility. I see "God hates gays." But, never "Gays hate Christians."

You just made that up?

I'm reasoning. If Christians who oppose homosexuality are referred to as "homophobes", wouldn't it be logical to refer to those homosexuals that oppose Christianity as "Christophobes"?

It's a comical tap dance around your homophobia, perhaps?

Come on. Reasonable discussion please. You are proposing logic puzzles that assume facts not in evidence.

You oppose Gay, right? You are homophobe, correct?

I spent 4 years in the vicinity of Palm Springs, CA. It has a huge concentration of gay people. I met many, and they were rarely angry. For people that are treated like second class citizens, they're actually much friendlier than I would be under the same circumstances. Hell, even the ones I met in the Marines were quite friendly. The only people that make them mad are closed minded folks that tell them their activity is an "abomination", for no valid reason. I also don't think you know what a "phobia" is. It's an irrational fear of or aversion to something. Having an aversion to a group of people that actively supports a dogma that says homosexuals are sinners because of their harmless preference, is totally rational. I wouldn't want anything to do with a group that believes in a book that preaches intolerance of my harmless activities either.

People who have an irrational fear or objection to homosexuals are homophobes, religious affiliation is irrelevant, until the homophobes make it relevant by evoking it's ideology in defense. The key concept here is irrationality, not opposition. If someone can list a rational opposition to homosexuality, then they aren't homophobic. For example, if someone says gay sex is disgusting, they are not being homophobic, they are being genuine.

So they only people you could list as "Christophobes" would be those whom you could demonstrate oppose Christianity due to irrational feelings or reasoning. Care to do so?

Phobias Defined

According to the American Psychiatric Association, a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm.
