MISSION: brainwash teens!!

[FIFI]

I was researching the Day of Silence for my school, and stumbled across many articals speaking of the group Mission America. Interested, I began to read their view of homosexuality, and was absolutly appaled! This "INFORMATION" was posted in the "teens" section, and was slandering, mis-informitive and down-right WRONG in the statistics they gave! The remander of the site tried to quote that if you were a "good" person of faith, than you believed everything that website stated. It told students at highschool to be careful of those who practice "un-healthy sexual practices" for they would try to persuade you and if you experiment, you would get a life threatening incureable disease. No matter what.

Ug. I seriously dislike people who lie and misconstrue information for their perpose!

1.) WOMEN OF HETEROSEXUAL PRACTICES are the #1 CARRIERS of HIV / AIDS (according to the surgon general 2003-2004 numbers)

2.) Homosexuality is NOT CUREABLE!! I mean, we can argue till we all drop dead, but I highly doubt that shock treatments cure you of your sexual identity.

3.) I doubt that a high school Gay-Straight Alliance has a homosexual agenda to take OVER THERE SCHOOL and BRAIN WASH other students to their point of view!

i've always seen the biggest problem to these anti-sex nazis as being their complete opposition to talking about birth control.. when you don't talk about birth control, you end up with loads of heterosexual women with aids.

[FIFI]

True. Something as simple as a rubber could save alot of lives. Is that what you ment when you said birth control??

[PatrickHenry]

Ok, FIFI. You are young and inexperienced. I am an old guy with a long life of knowing all kinds of people. Some of the homos I have known were so conflicted they were miserable. Those folks don't have to stay homosexual. There are ways out. The article you objected to referred to some of the orgs that seek to ease a transition to being straight for those who don't want to be homosexual. Don't get upset over this. If all your homo friends are happy, then good. But the ones that are conflicted will find that a straight life is a lot easier, more respected and accepted by mass society. Why be angry over a group that extends some information (one sided as it may be)?

yeah fifi.. condoms.

the reason why i said "birth control", though, is because the abstinence-only crowd doesn't want to talk about ANY of them.. not the pill, not condoms, nothing except abstinence..

just look at what jesse helms did - blocking condom donations to africa while aids was on the rampage.


pat.. i've had a couple gay friends who were also unhappy.. honestly, it has to do with the fact that they couldn't maintain their relationships, than them being gay. i've known many heterosexuals who were equally unhappy, because they too couldn't maintain a long term relationship. plus, maybe some of these heterosexuals were conflicted about their own sexuality?

I blame the japanese! They are the reason for all the worlds problems ( so do gays but im not talking about them now) All the're nationalist "lets kill america" vibe really pisses me off. who agrees?

In what way are Japan responsible for the worlds problems?

Most Japanese people I've met are quietly nationalistic, not the jumped jingoistic arses I meet from most other countries. Like say....you.

You don't have to stay Christian either. There's ways out too. Just become a satanist.

I was actually kind of anti-gay until I met Christians.

I agree talking about important stuff is important but where are these "loads of heterosexual women with AIDS"?

[Matt W]

Try Africa, for starters.

[Lou Minotti]

That's a pretty big can of worms. Let's stick to America. Where are all these women? (woman using needles don't count).
