As You Like It - Men Becoming Women

Wow this thread sure devolved.

You know, I have a real problem with some people in SL. The ones in question are very loud too. They are extremely adamant about expressing their darker, dirtier selves and flaunting this like some social revelation, but are very VERY intolerant of anyone else's pursuits if they arent along the same dark n dirty lines.

If a guy wants to run around as a woman, who are any of you to judge them? And what makes you think they all behave the same? What makes anyone pointing the finger any better? Why haven't they put down women who choose to use male avs here? Why is any sort of crossdressing an issue with them? It sounds very bigoted.

For those looking for fake sex and fleeting experiences and express assorted hangups: WHO CARES what's on the other side? You're not there for the RL contact. If the poseball does its thing and the partner is hot and says the right things, and the conditions are perfect for getting off, where's the problem? Aren't most of these types shrugging the experience as not being real while their spouses and significant others are watching TV in the next room anyway? Why the hipocrisy?

If there's one thing this thread has confirmed, it's that self-expression and diversity do not walk hand in hand. It's the same old intolerance and discrimination song. It's all the same old same old but with a new affiliation to call superior.

It's old already.

It's only the focal point if you believe that the Constitution of the United States is founded upon the Christian Religion... AND if you believe the Christian Religion requires a woman to engage in anal intercourse if homosexual marriage were to be allowed.

Anyhow, the vote is over. It's time to move on.

LOL if you think it'll end there.

I do think it's over for the state of California. The majority wins in a state's right issue, no matter how small or wide the margin.

It's time to move on.

Do us all a favour, love. Save the preachy stuff for when you're in church, yeah? kthxbai.

Moi?

And 700 posts later this is the conclusion, that America is Christian and that gay people don't have the right to marry. Wow, good thing nobody actually paid attention then. All because some boys like to wear cyber dresses, wow

Oh FFS. So the Morality Police dragged this thread up again to make a further point?

In the immortal words of Reeves and Mortimer: "YOU WOULDN'T LET IT LIE!"

Thank god for that. I look forward to NOT seeing your name hauling this thread to the top of the forum again.

[P.S. Nobody's going to *really* make you take it up the bottom, y'know ]

No, that MARRIAGE is a Christian institution (along with other religions, i.e., Judaism).

First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

What I don't understand about this whole thing is that those not even believing in the Christian faith or institutions or sacraments want "equal rights" to marriage when it's not even their religion?

These two ideologies don't intersect?

Then LOL.

Don't read the thread. :rollseyes:

There is more to marriage than religion. Ever filled out a TAX form in the USA? There is many non-religious rights granted with marriage. The main problem is the term marriage. If you removed that and said "union" and remove the religious huff things would be different.

Some people are there for real life contact. Just watching visuals and waving would kill SL right away. Might as well change the name to "Sex Life" then if all ya want are pose balls.

Tolerance is a two-way street.

No, its not. No matter how many times you claim Marriage is a Christian institution, it won't change the fact that it predates every modern religion(except perhaps Hinduism). Homer, who lived somewhere around 800 years before the supposed birth of Jesus wrote of married couples. Even more ancient surviving examples show clearly that marriage as a social institution has likely existed as long as human civilization.

Furthermore, American Law is NOT BASED on biblical concepts. It is based on English common law which came out of Anglo-Saxon and Norman common law, predating Christianity among the people who developed it.

Lastly, laws defining 'marriage' as ANYTHING are patently absurd. The meanings of words are defined by the common usage among the people that speak the language. We might as well pass a law defining 'Gay' as 'having or showing a merry, lively mood'. Then those dratted Homosexuals couldn't use it anymore right?


PS Oh, also Hindu is a religious identification, Hindi IS A LANGUAGE.

The Book of Job is considered to be by archaeologists the oldest copy of an ancient biblical writing in existence right now, dating back to about 8000 years before Christ.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some "guys-in-real-life" weren't transvestites or stymied transsexuals. It doesn't take much to realise SL is a marvellous playground for anyone wanting to take a walk on their wild side. Anonymity, cheap clothes that always fit, instant curves, relaxed sexual mores and no need to spend hours with shaving and make-up.

Best of all, if you're caught, you can always say it's just a game.
