"Well... my friend, the "correct words" are really a euphemism for the right values...[sic]"

Did anyone ever consider that perhaps *we" are the stupid ones by allowing ourselves to be duped?

Think about it and consider this.

Words are important.

This is not an and has never been an issue of tolerance, it is an issue of imposition.

Interesting really how the intentional misuse of a single word can have such an effect. But by using the word tolerance in situations such as this it is easy to lay the burden on us. We are not being asked to "tolerate" anything, we are being asked to "change" and "accept". It is a clever and cunning misuse of words, like the misuse of the word 'phobia' and the invention of the words "homophobia" or "homophobe" to imply that we are the one's with the problem because we suffer from an irrational fear of homosexuals and their deviant practices. Get it straight. I don't fear homosexuality, I find it disgusting in the same way I would find it disgusting for one to eat their own poop.

And so, by demanding that we give our tacit approval of deviant behaviour and their um... "unions" homosexuals are not asking for tolerance. What they want is society's imprimatur. The redefinition of the word marriage gives their behaviour and their "unions" a stamp of normality. What was abnormal now becomes normal.

Is this "tolerance" or rather "forced acceptance"? Which in itself should be an oxymoron when acceptance means that you have received something willingly.

Another clever and cunning tactic being used by homosexuals is their cry that they are being "discriminated" against, that this is a "rights" issue and that they only want the "right" to marry just like everyone else.

Well... guess what. Homosexuals can get married. Just like everyone else. Whoever said they cannot get married?

Think about it.
