skategreen Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Blah,Blah,Blah... Yeah...I'm pretty sure ...In MY opinion the whole gay thing is just twisted - and yes you do make a point with what you said but were talking about gays here. I stand firmly by the Adam and Eve lifestyle that God created - no child wants or needs Adam and Steve nor Eve and Eva Ok, so let's try this again... We're not just "talking about gays here" - we're talking about "should gays be allowed to adopt ??", as that is the name of the thread. We're talking about whether or not there should be rules of exclusion - should gays be excuded from the right to adopt. So when we discuss this, we are examining the concept of Exclusion - therefore we need to look at various factors. The determining criteria in deciding who should be able to adopt is the health, safety, and well-being of the children - not pandering to any one particular bias. If you operate off bias you then open up to: Should Christians be allowed to adopt? - they may turn the child into a Christian! Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormans, Baptists...why, they'd probably try to foist off their religion on the poor child! Should a black couple be allowed to adopt a white child? A white adopt an Asian? Adopting a Native American child may deprive the child of the teachings of his heritage... If you're a Democrat, you sure as Hell don't want any Fricken Republican adopting children and turning out more republicans...... The religion, politics, color and culture have no bearing on whether or not a person can adopt. Why then should sexuality be a factor? If you're going to draw in sexuality as a criteria,....why should a person who watches porn, who's into whips and chains, who dresses in women's panties, who likes to be tied up and beaten..who perfers a nice warm enema....be allowed to adopt? It just doesn't follow. You don't have to be gay, no one is asking you to. You don't have to cultivate gay friends, nor give your first born up to a pack of gays. You don't have to LIKE them! But if you're in the drivers seat, making the rules, or casting your vote, examine the basis of your vote. Or lean a bit further back on your rockin chair in your bib overalls, scratch your balls and stay home. Quote The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings. - Buddha

fullauto Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 rather than work backwards, why not discuss reasons that they should NOT be allowed to adopt... after all, we ARE supposed to give everyone the same rights unless they fit a certain profile.... pediphile, murderer etc.... So lets assume they do have the right, and work the other way... seems a bit more logical.... Quote Liberals... Saving the world one semester at a time "I'm not a racist... I'm a realist!

WHATEVER Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Ok, so let's try this again... We're not just "talking about gays here" - we're talking about "should gays be allowed to adopt ??", as that is the name of the thread. We're talking about whether or not there should be rules of exclusion - should gays be excuded from the right to adopt. Blah Blah Blah ..again... Ok - here it is - I don't agree with gay adoption but I think it may be going to far to make it against the law Quote
skategreen Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 You have more patients to explain it tothe blind than I do Skate Heya Tizzy...yeah...well this is the "debate" forum, so I'm in a mood to yank this idea apart a bit....it was fun for me..and I enjoyed chewing on it and discovering my own arguments.

You don't have to agree or grab a placard and join the picket line. By the way, your, "blah blah blah" is really rude. Not much fond of it. Quote The thought manifests as the word.

daisypapaya Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 There was a study done with little kids in kindergarten who saw two men and a child. They didn't apparently see anything wrong with it, and when asked what it was, they said it was a happy family. Children at that age don't care, and letting gays adopt straight(? depends on the kid) children is lke letting blacks adopt white children. No harm is going to come out of diversity. Quote
