<p>However, the only kind of gay i can sympathize for are Transgender people.</p>
<p>Besides, for those that are LGBT and believe in a God, don’t they fear what will happen to they in the hereafter? jw…</p>
<p>^People decide their sexuality? So, when did you choose to be straight? Can you tell me when exactly? It must have been a great day for you and all, thank goodness you didn’t choose to be gay, who knows what might have happened…</p>
<p>
Thanks for making an entire race look ignorant and bigoted.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>TONS of animals “commit sodomy.”</p>
<p>Considering I was born this way, and supposedly God made me, I wouldn’t worry. If I was made this way, then I don’t think God would make me a certain way and then damn me to hell for it. </p>
<p>I don’t know what you don’t understand about being gay. We’re just attracted to the same sex.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, how can you sympathize with transgendered people? The whole concept of transgendered is that you were born into the wrong body. Wouldn’t that mean God made a mistake?</p>
<p>Anyway, this is off track now.</p>
<p>^ Okay…but i’m still confused. How did you even know you were gay? Was it just kind of like developing a crush/falling in love with another person of the same sex?</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I came off as ignorant.</p>
<p>^ Tell me, how did you discover that you were straight?</p>
<p>Now take that story, replace all the masculine words and pronouns with female ones and voila you’ve got your answer.</p>
<p>^How did you know you weren’t gay? It shouldn’t be that different.</p>
<p>We will never have equal outcome, and if we were, that would require the detriment of the top rather than bringing the bottom up. </p>
<p>However, a capitalist society that employs equal opportunity should turn out better than one that doesn’t, at least theoretically.</p>
<p>
Disparities are a fact of life. Some students will have parents who can buy them books (or live near a nice library) and can learn on their own. Some will fit in with a more focused peer group. Some will have a good course that inspires them. Striving for educational equality, while noble, is futile. I just want everyone to receive an education that is good enough to let them move forward if they have the initiative: in other words, education to “a certain degree”.</p>
<p>How are you going to create a society where everyone is equal when almost every person is greedy and selfish. Just look at life. Communism=violence, Socialism=loss of rights for people.
Capitalism sucks really bad too, our econ is going down, but, hey communism isn’t going to solve the mess were in either.
There is no perfect society in the world, all societies have some degree of social injustice. At least capitalism provides freedom we need. </p>

<p>why are guys taking about sexuality? ohhhh nevermind lol
shoot me if you want, but obama, hiliary, and rest of the gang have anti-american agendas. People are trying achieve peace, but, unfortunately you’re never going to get it. Even if you have a one world government and there’s peace throughout, some smart*** going to have nukes and before you know it . . . BOOM! lol</p>
<p>^Erm, many countries in Europe are quite socialistic and retain a large degree of freedom. Even America has socialistic policies, and would likely have many more if it weren’t for the popular fear, inculcated from the youngest ages, of large governments. </p>
<p>Communism has worked for millenia in small societies. It, at least in its pure form, has just not worked out well for large groups.</p>
<p>^ Communism has never been applied in its pure form in large groups.</p>
<p>^^ Anti-American? I suppose you think America is a democracy too? :rolleyes:
And yes, war is inevitable, so we should take the Bush approach and just make everyone ****ed at us? Great way to avoid nukes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Consider my mind boom’d.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You seem to be suggesting that certain people deserve higher degrees of education than others. Is that what you are saying?</p>
<p>And guys…I do NOT want equal outcomes AT ALL. I dislike communism. I want equal opportunity.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, they HATE America so much that they decide to run for President! Smart comment.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tell me–how would you go about this “certain degree” business. I guarantee you it creates an unfair and prejudiced system, as it has in the past.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, the point is that truly equal opportunity is, ironic as it may seem, antithetical to capitalist society. The ideas of equal opportunity and perfect social mobility are this country’s greatest national myths.</p>
<p>^Wait…I wasn’t asking you, but alright. It was directed @noimagination.</p>
<p>^I agree that it’s a myth–so why can’t we change that (as much as possible)? I don’t see it as antithetical at all. Well, that’s a lie. Obviously, in some ways–but wholly, nope. And if that means we’d be a bit less capitalist, so be it. Capitalism is imperfect–but the best–system, I think. </p>
<p>Well, I also think pulling oneself up my their bootstraps is also a myth.</p>
<p>Equal rights, equal economic and educational opportunity until 18 years of age</p>
<p>It is impossible to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, obviously. But if you have some sort of pulley, something to stand on and a long rope, you can pull yourself up if you’re strong enough.
