Dolphins Don Jones suspended for tweeting about Michael Sam

By your logic, the only reason anyone would ever kiss, grope, or bone, is because they saw it on TV or something.

The only reason? Where do you get this from?

If kids see a lot of kissing and groping around them, they are more likely to try kissing and groping at a younger age then kids who don't see much of it.

that kids will probably be more tolerant.

I pretty sure this will be true.

Stop. Log off. Don't come back to this thread til you have logged off. If I see you in here again and you haven't logged off, I'm reporting it.

Report me? For what? Go ahead.

For being a terrible poster. Log off.

 

[bucky]

I wonder what you could be insinuating in the Michael Sam thread.

Dude, I'm insinuating what I'm saying. As things become more mainstream, kids are more influenced by them. Period.

Stop just tiptoeing around it.

Because you're intolerant of a differing opinion?

I'm not tiptoeing around anything.

Intolerant is being thrown around like a dirty whore in this thread.

So what you are saying is that as being gay becomes more mainstream (your words, not mine), kids will be more influenced by those gays.

Just clarifying if you agree or disagree.

I think what bucky is trying to say is that as homosexual acts become more commonplace in our culture (on tv, movies, etc.) and not as widely frowned upon; youths are more likely to experiment themselves. His hypothesis isn't that unreasonable. :dunno:

Dude, you're the one that tried to read more into a post than what the post said. It's like you tried to read into it and find some hidden meaning. I just commented on the part of rams post that kids are influenced by mainstream media. There was no good or bad moral judgement in it. I think I mentioned something about being more likely to experiment. Still no moral judgement. There was no hidden message or meaning.

No, what he's trying to say is that mainstream acts influence children. He said nothing about homosexuals.

Like girls more likely to "experiment" with other girls in college?

I agree kids will be more influenced. No value judgement. And in ways, good things will come from it. I also think there will be more experimenting.

So what you're saying is that being gay is a trend because of mainstream influence.

No, what he's trying to say is that mainstream acts influence children. He said nothing about homosexuals.

Define acts? Holding hands? Betty and Sue across the street raising there children. I'm not talking about sexual acts. Just homosexuality becoming more mainstream.

 

[bucky]

So what you're saying is that being gay is a trend because of mainstream influence.

Where do you get this from? I'm saying there will probably be more experimentation and tolerance. You don't have to be gay to experiment. Stop reading into things and just read what's typed.

Now you're really simplifying the argument to a top level view. Basically asking, "does advertising work?" This isn't really up for debate, nor is it applicable. One awkward gay french kiss, does not equal an advertising campaign.

My entire point is we have an entire species that has been having hetero and homo sexual relations since our genesis. It didn't start with two young chicks watching an episode of The L Word.

Regardless of that, you're still behaving as if these kids are in some kind of vacuum, watching TV, never talking to anyone, and then just being set off into the world with the singular design that buttfucking is best.

So one awkward gay french kiss does not equal our children being doomed forever? :rambo:
