This is rather amusing, after what I can only describe as a **** storm of negative attention, that ignorant little kid closed his entire youtube account.
https://www.facebook.com/younginbroadcasting
Apparently everybody is trollololloling him for his youtube account getting closed. Apparently HE closed it himself.
Soooo.... does that mean his show is over with?

Fun facts for Romania:
- consensual acts between same-sex adults in private were only legalised in 1996
- law which criminalised public manifestations of homosexuality was repealed in 2000, law against discrimination put in place
- age of consent standardized to 15 regardless of genders involved in 2002 (used to be 15 for heterosexual and 18 for homosexual)
- lesbians allowed to have IVF in 2005
- men that have had sex with men are still forbidden from donating blood, repealing that is stuck in legislative bickering
- same-sex couples can not get married and can not adopt children as a couple
- almost 98% of the country identified as some Christian denomination (almost 87% as Eastern Orthodox) while barely over 0.1% identify as non-religious or atheist

France, for instance, has 33% of survey responders giving either atheism, agnosticism or another lack of belief in supernatural powers, and only 34% believing that a "God" exists. Sweden has 23% believing in any particular god, 23% believing in nothing, and 53% holding what would traditionally be called esoteric beliefs.
Several other EU countries are not that far behind in terms of non-god-belief, but others (like Romania, Portugal and Greece) drag the average stats down, with the EU average at 52% belief in any specific deity and 18% no belief in anything at all, rest claim belief in odder things that are not any particular deity.
In contrast, in the USA, only around 15% claim no religious affiliations, roughly 6% to 9% of people in the USA claim they do not believe in the existence of a deity nor any other supernatural force, and under 2% explicitly identify as either agnostic or atheist.

Strawman argument.
You can't make people gay. You can confuse them if you work hard enough at it but that's just for fun.
So I'm supposed to worry about this rather than failed financial and foreign policies that are no different than those of the previous TWO administrations and destroying our future?

Yup... as political argument it will fail because the separation of church and state forbids any president of encouraging sexual preferences based on religious beliefs. Kid needs to understand that people are free to believe whatever they want. Freedom of religion is key to any state's success...
/attempting to shift thread into a history discussion
Look at the Roman empire. They tolerated the religions of the places they conquered, even respected many of them. And geez there were a lot of gays. Nobody cared about that... all they cared about was to gank/wardec/invade everybody else and they did pretty darn well for 600 years. In fact, if it wasn't because the dumbarses made their plumbing out of lead and went crazy, they might still be the ruling party. |

One of the main reasons I posted this thread on the EvE forums of all places is because It is my opinion that the people of this community are more intelligent and sophisticated of other game communities. (ex Blizzard forums... LOL)
In futuristic fiction, nobody seems to care what your gender or orientation is...
Look at mass effect 3 for example. There is a scene where a crew member talks about his dead husband and there exists no option to ridicule of harass him about this very open indication of homosexuality.
EvE itself is a great example, The only faction that strictly and openly opposes alternative life-styles are the amarr.
The amarr are also catholic. Go figure.

This thread won't last long :)
14 year olds should not be given access to microphones. They don't know enough about anything to actually comment. I did see a comment on a related video that I thought actually provided some insight into those opposed to gay marriage:
"gay marriage" is like "dry water". It just can't be.
That sums up pretty well the argument: this isn't about denial of civil rights, this is a disagreement about the boundaries of the definition of marriage. I wish people on both sides of the argument would get it through their heads that the other side isn't out to get them. Everyone involved is acting on their personal convictions, and that should be commended.

When I was 14, I was a full time college student with a 3.5 GPA.
Don't make this an "age" thing, it's not. This is an "ignorance" thing.
If you do backround on this kid you will find he often has a very smug look on his face and obviously feels empowered by his demagoguery. I know this type well.
A person like him would be highly susceptible to the influence of a cult. At the very least I like to think that some of the more prominent blowhards that spew this hate know to some degree that it is junk and are only doing it to push an agenda that nets them wealth and power. In the case of this child I can say with confidence that he actually believes what he is saying and that my friends is dangerous.

So? That doesn't qualify you as being insightful. College doesn't provide wisdom or enlightenment. At 14 you were just reading thicker books than the other kids. Going to college doesn't make a young person more mature than their peers. Just better at making grades.
Xenuria wrote:Don't make this an "age" thing, it's not. This is an "ignorance" thing.
Okay, I'll rephrase it: I've never in my life met a 14-year old who wasn't ignorant. I find little more amusing than a teenager who thinks they understand how the world works. I remember being that foolish once and I think it's adorable, yet quite annoying.

My solution to the whole marriage issue would be this:
Let them marry, but one of them has to be "the man". They have to decide on this ahead of time and it's binding.
So when the divorce comes, typically the man has no rights in divorce court.
Then they won't be as eager to marry. They would probably eschew marriage like most heteros who see what a rigged game it is.
Problem solved. |

I wanted to make my character looks more like me.
Although I admit the limitations of the character creation system means it is impossible to do justice my awe inspiring and majestic appearance.

I see marriage of any kind as more or less useless. at this point, it's just a cultural thing, and due to the ease (relatively so) of divorces, it's really not nearly as big a thing these days.
my thought is to just let people say "I love you, will you move in with me" and be done with it.
EDIT: and as I've been repeating for a while now (I heard it somewhere, but can't remember where) "marriage is betting half your stuff that you will love each other for ever and ever. |
