Few will hold that against you, but it is expected, if you wish to keep posting here, that you adapt to them. R.M. Schultz has shown himself to be both a bigot and a petulant, obstinant debater; horsemanization is a perfectly acceptable punishment for the morally repungnant and pig-headed timber of his posts, as are the insults being laid against him.

Actually Beppo Schmidt can post controversial opinions (I take it thats what Big Orange means by "wrong" opinions) all he likes with the exception if it breaks certain laws, namely race hate laws of Canada, paedophillia or threatening someone harm.
Failure to back up his controversial opinions is another matter. Just as R.M. Schultz was allowed to post his gay hypothesis, but failure to back it up despite numerous demands has led to him being horsemanized.

Wow... I'm stunned. Really. He hates himself so much that even after being shown evidence that points to the genetic component he can't admit that it's true and clings to his sexual dominance bullshit.
I think it's clear why. He "has" to force himself not to be gay, to dominate himself as it were. Thus sexuality is merely a matter of willpower and a strong enough willpower will change your sexuality.
But then, of course, reality kicks in and we all stand amazed that shit can be stacked so high.
I'd be sad if I weren't laughing so hard....

This is exactly what I'm talking about, you evasive little asshole. You state as a fact that large numbers of people have actually changed their sexual orientation. WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM, jackass? We all know about the religious "conversion" programs, but we also know that they have an abysmal long-term success rate.R.M. Schultz wrote:Look, I have offered an hypothesis to explain human sexual behavior and I have offered to defend it against any reasoned argument. The only response I have gotten (aside from infantile name-calling) has been a chorus insisting that “homosexuality is biologically determined.” This answer does not explain how significant numbers of people routinely change their orientation, whereas my theory does. Will someone please offer a theory that is comprehensive enough to include the idea that sexual orientation is fixed while simultaneously accounting for how in many cases it is not?Darth Wong wrote:OK R.M. Shultz, since you have been totally evasive about the subject upon which you were challenged earlier, I have three questions:
1) Do you have any evidence whatsoever to support your bizarre claims about the way sexuality works? If not, then will you concede that your claims are unsubstantiated? And do not say "personal experience".
In other words, the concept of fake documentation magically renders the Jewish Holocaust morally equivalent to the homosexual purges. Congratulations for missing the point yet again, moron.Supposing you were born Jewish — how could someone tell? Well, there would be your birth certificate which, until fairly recently, listed the parents religious affiliation. There would also be records of temple membership and a corresponding lack of baptismal records. If that didn’t do it, the Nazis were quite willing to go back to the eighteenth century with records or one’s forbearers. Ultimately, you were simply trapped.Darth Wong wrote:2) Do you have any response to the argument that the only way to escape these programs was to deceive the authorities about your true nature, either for Jews or homosexuals?
But if you were gay, all you had to do was keep your pants up and for all legal purposes cease to be gay!
Legalism is NOT a moral code, fool.I guess the issue here ultimately comes down to respect for the rule of law.
At the heart of this is the fact that people were executed as punishment for "crimes" which in fact hurt no one. Whether that "crime" is to be born of the wrong race or to be of the wrong sexual orientation is a meaningless distinction. The difficulty of concealing one's "guilt" is also a meaningless distinction. In the end, the ethics of this are simple: people were executed for "crimes" that hurt no one. Your endless attempts to make one seem worse than the other are no more valid than your endless attempts to ignore my demand for evidence.

In your stay on SDNet, you will find that the "quote" button is really, really nifty. It not only preserves the formatting, avoiding embarassing episodes like this one, but also helpfully wraps the text in quote tags, with the peson's handle in the name field. In this post, for instance, all I had to do was click the quote button, move my insersion point, and I was ready to go.Beppo Schmidt wrote:yes, I cut and paste quoted, that was what I meant when I said I quoted it in my post.

You have to love this "it is more ethical if it is easier to escape" logic. By this logic, an obese homicidal maniac with a knife is more moral than a fit homicidal maniac with a knife, because it's easier to run away from him.

For all legal purposes cease to be gay. Such an insidious little word, isn't it? Its inclusion essentially permits you to redefine the argument from whether or not it's moral to outlaw homosexuality to whether or not it's legal to be gay in a nation where homosexuality is illegal.R.M. Schultz wrote:But if you were gay, all you had to do was keep your pants up and for all legal purposes cease to be gay!
You dishonest little shit.
The existence of laws which are immoral is not relevant to the morality of those laws. Did that get through your little, pinheaded skull? Perhaps I should repeat it once or twice.I guess the issue here ultimately comes down to respect for the rule of law. In a totalitarian state one really does not owe the government any loyalty and is not bound, morally at least, to follow the laws. But in a free society, such as the one Alan Turing lived in, social order is not maintained by force but rather by the good behavior of the citizens and respect for the rule of law becomes a moral obligation. There are going to be bad laws in any system, but in a democratic system our duty is not to pick-and-choose which laws we will follow, but to endeavor to change those laws we disagree with at the ballot box.

NOT. FUCKING. RELEVANT.
Has the concept begun to sink in yet?
Oh, there's a total order on the set of all immoral behavior now? Do elaborate.Thus I would maintain that the Nazi persecution of Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies was of an order of magnitude worse than the persecution of Homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Communists, while the persecution of Allan Turing was (however foolish and misguided) accomplished within the rule of laws that he was obliged to obey.
So you'd agree, then, that a rapist who is rapes a woman while she's walking through a slum is more moral than one who rapes a woman while she's walking through peaceful suburbs?Sure what happened to Alan Turing was tragic, but he could have acted differently and avoided it.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

mind you as a fan of Machevelli, I believe in a clear seperation between legality and morality. After all a state must employ methods that are morally reprehensible in order to maintain the standards of living for the citizens it is obligated too. Such as Wars, or subsidizing the native industries against the foreign ones, in order to keep the nation's coffers full, or Tarriffs.

I love Schultz's dancing around the issue of homosexual innateness coupled with justification that persecuted subgroups should change or else, personally. The whole 'thesis' is a prelude to shipping homosexual "conversion"; you can change, he argues, so you'd better change or you'll get persecuted!

Well R.M. Schultz has been surprisingly fun, despite the obvious nuttiness and he was great for a laugh (to laugh at not with, mind you). And yes, Wym, as soon as the dipstick said that homosexuals supposedly had "a choice" and "no excuse" when facing persecution, then I realised what sort of brainless lunacy I was dealing with and Schultz's lunacy has been fully proven here.

What really creeps me out about R.M. Schultz's is that he pathetically argues that homosexuals were preyed upon for their actions, when he fails to recognise that most anti-Semtic propaganda often demonises Jews for their supposed evil actions. To put it bluntly Jews and homosexuals are essentially hated for what they are, but their tormentors claim that they are persecuting them for what they did (at least that is the impression I got from Neo-Nazi talk forums).
