and I mean no disrespect, but it is succeeding in the sense that you don't find the behavior of the characters on these shows reprehensible

Listen to me very carefully: don't EVER judge me or anybody else on this forum by your narrow minded agenda. You have absolutely NO RIGHT decide what I do and do not find reprehensible.

For all you know, those you are posting to may have homosexual sons or lesbian daughters, but somehow I don't think that would much bother you.

And unless you feel morally qualified and superior to the rest of us in the way you lead your life, it might be better if you kept your proselytizing to yourself.

If you are a conservative, remember conservatives are the ones who don't want the government OR YOU sticking your collective noses in our lives, much less in our bedrooms.

If you are a Christian, remember "Judge not, lest you be judged."

And you certainly DID mean disrespect. You felt like you could lecture ME and try to shove YOUR agenda onto me and my life. That is, in fact, very disrespectful.

I have every right to judge or decide what I believe is right or wrong, but I do not have the right to be agreed with. I also I believe as this is a forum for political discourse I can state my beliefs. My "assumption" of what you find reprehensible was based on your staement that you like the show "Will and Grace". I have watched, and I find it offensive, however as with all assumptions, I should have waited until you stated what part of the show you like and what part of the show, if any you don't. Point taken.

"For all you know, those you are posting to may have homosexual sons or lesbian daughters, but somehow I don't think that would much bother you."

You are correct, it would not bother me. If I had a child who was homosexual, I would still believe it was wrong. I am not calling for their arrest, harrasment, etc. I believe that homosexuality is wrong. Too many people in this country have a problem with standing up and stating what they believe because the favorite response is for someone to jump up and say who are you to judge. Well I'm just me, and I believe I have the right to that something is right or wrong. We do it all the time, ie. laws. Some people don't believe pedophelia is wrong (NAMBLA) are we not to judge them?

"And you certainly DID mean disrespect. You felt like you could lecture ME and try to shove YOUR agenda onto me and my life. That is, in fact, very disrespectful."

No I did not mean disrepect, how dare you assume to know what I am thinking any more I did to you. As far as an agenda, If you do support the homosexual agenda (which I will not assume) it is those who have saturated my TV viewing with a homosexual character in something like 60% of the shows on air, when that part of the population only represents 1% of us who is shoving their agenda on someone.

As for my "proselytizing" unless JimRob or one of the Admins tell me otherwise I will continue to speak my mind. We can agree to disagree but you will not shut me up.
So what's next, am I now a homophobe?
