lol when I start talking to them? Oh, I started...and I'm already starting to know what you mean; they're exceedingly difficult to get to know because I can't ever get them to hang out.
I worked with a few at the Glendale mall, and even got this one's number in attempt to get to know her; apparently her ex-bf (undoubtedly Armenian) didn't like me talking to her, and I bet her dad (if he knew) probably didn't like it either. Infact, the only time I was with her outside of work was when she gave me a ride home from work one day

I really appreciate the supportive attitude from the community here, I've never really had much issue with the Armenian youth (girls at least) other than them being rather hard to hang out with; I'm still determined to have my secret romance with an Armenian girl... it'll be so hot, sneaking around.
I still don't know if I believe that story.....
But, it definitely is a real life, needs to be talked about issue.

issues like that are serious but its like leftfoot said, that post was a jock. the guy kept flip flopping on his thoughts and ideas. didnt even know what he was writing at times.
this is how i look at it.
god created man and women. he created men for women, and women for men. their purpose is to mate and reproduce offsprings to go on and reproduce themselves. men being the primary bread bringer (hunters and gathers) and women being the primary care givers (taking care of kids and family). he did not create men for men or women for women. it just wouldn't work considering our primary purpose is to reproduce offsprings. homosexuality is for those who are insecure about themselves and need a vent to vent through. homosexuality being that vent for them, for the things they claim to stand for and doing the things they do.

Science has proven you can indeed be born homosexual; humans (as referenced somewhere else on this site) aren't the only animals that have been observed exercising homosexual behavior. Your closed mindedness is of the same breed that oppressed thousands upon thousands of different peoples, destroyed families and broke hearts.
It has nothing to do with insecurity...do you even have any homosexual friends? I'm guessing no, because if you did you'd understand them so much better. I'm spiritual but not particularly religious -- but I don't don't believe in bullshit like "God made so we could be this way." If there is a god, and he did indeed create us... he created all of us; including the murderers, rapists, deformed, gifted, average, homosexual, bisexual, etc.

my "closed mindedness"? so im closed minded because i think that some things should be a certain way and not another? being closed minded might have a very small thing to do what were discussing, but its not the case. what i wrote is what i believe, and if im "closed minded" because i believe things should be a certain way , then everyone on this earth is "closed minded" because everyone has their own thoughts and believes about certain topics.
no i dont have any homosexual friends and i dont need any. (now can refer to this as being closed minded but not anything else ive written so far)
u dont have to be religious or spiritual to believe in god.
he created humans, murderers, rapists, deformed, gifted, average, homosexual, bisexual, etc. are traits that a human can gain or loose throughout their life time, but they cant loose the fact that they were born as a male or female human.

Having personal beliefs and opinions does not preclude you from being open minded. You are closed minded if you things are supposed to be a certain way; that's possibly the definition of being closed minded... LOL
Being open minded is the capacity to embrace new ideas, perspectives and welcome change and alternative beliefs as potentially offering value; If you are convinced things are supposed to be a certain way, you are quite literally saying you have made your mind up about the way things should be -- and are thus, closed minded. Your lack of homosexual acquaintances isn't a negative thing, as much as it just means you're personal knowledge (a.k.a. what you haven't read in religious text, told by your parents or seen on TV) is nonexistent.

You completely missed my point. I'll spell it out for you -- we aren't all just born as perfect humans, and then make choices to be the people we want to be. It's scientifically proven that your genes (the little strands of DNA that determine what you look like, your character trait tendencies, etc) make up so much about who you are, that yes: Some murderers are born with psychotic disorders that lead to their behavior; some men and women are born homosexual, and sometimes struggle with that reality as they don't want to be gay.
You can't be older than 20 years old, stop trying to know how everything is; you're not even educated on the subjects you're preaching about -- this is the EXACT problem I'm talking about that's rampant among ethnocentric youth.

About the religous thing..^^
Believing in a higher power does not make a person a part of a religon. So, spiritual, yes. Religous, I don't think so.
Religion: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Believing in a higher power does not make a person a part of a religion, but it does make them religious. There is a difference.
Being spiritual does not have anything to do with believing in a higher power -- any deity, or reference to anything of that nature, is not necessarily a prerequisite, but certainly is indicative of being religious.
I'm highly spiritual, but do not believe in any god.

That's very true. I can't stand it when someone thinks that the only way one can be religious is by going to church. It's very much possible to be religious by believing in God and praying.

"that's possibly the definition of being closed minded" possibly? how can u try to pass on ur idea if ur not even certain yourself?
yes i have my mind made up on a lot of issues, but when a discussion is brought up about what i believe i dont just shoot it down without listening and thinking about what the other person is saying. a closed minded person would not do such as that.
having a physical disorder cant contribute to someone being a murder but murderers can can have physical disorders if thats what ur saying.
and ur definition of religion is totally wrong.

u seem to be confused on the subject of religion. you're saying one thing and then another thing which counters what u just said. think about what u wrote.

I wish I could say your ability to stick to your beliefs was admirable, but it's clearly transcended into stubbornness. If you're insinuating I'm the one who's not listening, I can't help but find that hilarious.

Don't argue semantics with me -- I was being sarcastic because that's literally spot on to the literal definition of the concept. You're picking at the smallest aspects of what I'm saying, and basis your whole position off of it without any solid reasoning.

Do I need to link you to scientific articles in regards to this matter? You're 100% wrong on this subject -- what do you think "pleading insanity" in a court of law is in regards to? Does science have no place in any of your train of thought?
Quote:

Normally this is where you'd suggest a more correct definition -- rather than an unfounded, and completely subjective claim. Try www.dictionary.com; even though myleftfoot posted the definition above, you still seemed to be misinformed.

call it stubbornness if u want but i stick to my thoughts and i believe what i believe for a reason. there was nothing stating that u were listening, no need for u to get all defensive.
i could argue what i want, with who ever i want. its just a matter of if they wana argue back. and the last time i check this was the USA, where you could do and say as you please. (had to throw in the last line for comic reasons, due to the topic at hand lmao)
most insanity cases are just an excuse for those who want to get out of what they did. but ill give u that one.
didnt feel the need for me to provide a definition for you, considering leftfoot provided one and thought u were smart enough to look it up ur self

You do realize we posted almost word for word the same definition right? That just sounds suspiciously like a frantic afterthought.
Furthermore, what you say is so cryptic as it is -- half of what I respond to is subject to heavy interpretation; All I said was IF you were insinuating I wasn't listening (which you very well could have been given the linguistic structure) I was saying that's funny. I suppose I'm reading what you're saying with a more keen eye than necessary.
Why did freedom of speech even come up? Let's not get off topic...no where did I say you can't hold your own beliefs and opinions, let alone not share them -- I was merely commenting that your adamant attachment to them is what makes you closed minded. I'm calling it stubbornness because in the place of reasons, you have "facts" that have no basis in reality -- let me give you an example:
Quote:

And you know this because...of your innumerable friends who've been tried for murder, whom all plead insanity? That's sarcasm by the way. I think you watch too much Law & Order, or whatever TV show you're getting your facts from.
You're entitled to your beliefs, it's just healthier and smarter to discover them on your own; part of that means educating yourself, and looking for alternative perspectives to further solidify your own -- not shutting down anything that doesn't resemble yours.

both of your definitions were similar, but the slightest change in words can change the whole meaning.
i just threw in that line about saying and doing as one pleases in the USjust to liven things up. lol dont take that one to seriously as it was ment to be a joke
i dont surround myself around criminals or people who tend to get in trouble, due to the fact that ive worked to hard and long to get to where i am today. one judgement or suspicion of criminal activity, and i could have everything work related taken away from me. therefore i keep myself in a orderly manor no matter where i am.
and i wish i had time for tv or free time at that. i only see my friends at the gym or once a week when we go out, and none of them have the same thought process and views that i do.
gota give u props, no one on here has argued with me on the level that u have. keep it up
