Using the word 'gay' as a slur

Thanks for that inciteful and englightening post! You're the first person to post that, and also the first person to completely ignore the OP!

/sarcasm (if it wasn't obvious enough, I just like to make sure)

You wouldn't believe the amount of thick people who've called me a bender because I like to dress up and go to gay clubs (i'm not gay or bi, I like the scene) and I find it stupid.

Oh yes how stupid of them, they think you're gay because you dress up and go to gay clubs :eek: They should assume you're straight, they're really stupid that's for sure.

Well I dismiss your opinions because you're a gay, what do you say to that? This place is a breeding ground for you gayers.
 
Yeah, how stupid are those people, LOL I mean all they did was shout abuse at someone because they thought they were gay LOLZZ!!! Infact, I think everyone's sexuality should be judged on the way they look!

Silence please.
 
I didn't see him say they shouted it at him anywhere, or that they called him gay in an abusive way, perhaps you did because it suits your argument?
 
Yes of course, in future i'll assume you don't actually bother to read peoples posts that you've quoted. I'm twisting it to fit my arguement, yes. :rolleyes:

I love the way you chime in every 4 odd pages with these smart arse remarks and then quit as soon as we get into any kind of discussion. Do you actually have an opinion?

Aren't you win ;) I'm sure it was filled with a plethora of insightful contributions, as seems to be the trend of your posting in this thread.

You're completely misunderstanding terminology, you seem to think there is a guiding and intelligent force behind natural selection other than a species ability to survive it it's environment.

The natural processes by which the species' ability to survive its environment are selective forces that guide which mutations become more widespread through their increased fitness. Such guiding forces woud include breeding more rapidly, being more fertile, being able to metabolise food etc.

There is nothing guiding it at all, your trying to put a human slant on it. The whole idea is it's NATURAL selection i.e. it happens on it's own without any influence.

No, you've misinterpreted me. I said nothing about an 'intelligent force', or put a 'human slant' on it, I said simply that the process is not unguided. That is what "selection" refers to: certain characteristics that aid in propagating genes are selected. Thinking the process is unguided because mutations occur randomly (albeit at a controlled rate) is incorrect, and is a widespread fallacy of how natural selection works. If the process were truly unguided there would be no selection of one mutation over another and the propagation of mutations in offspring would be truly random.

This doesn't make sense, the natural processes are selective forces? What are you talking about? There is no guiding of mutation, it happens, there is no interference by an external force which is what you are alluding to.

Well I'm sure if I agreed with you they'd be insightful.

Oh yeah sorry, lets recap over some of the comments that you've contributed.

OMG you big gay!!!

You don't see because you're a gay.

You seem to enjoy slagging off the forums, surprised you've not been banned.

Did gay always mean homosexual? No.

Yes.

It does and it did.

I answered for him. I'm that nice.

Oh to be as tolerant of others as you people. Liking the personal attacks too.

Burn all the gays I say!

You're comparing his beliefs to Nazism? Nice.

Godwin invoked.

You clearly love getting involved! Some of the points you raise are really interesting.

Okay, once more. :) The mutations are random, though we have evolved enzymatic mechanisms by which we regulate the rate of mutation so as not to become a cancerous lump every generation.

Natural selection, the mechanism by which mutations are selected is not a random process. It refers to the selective pressures that pick out mutations that cause the organism to pass on more of those genes. That is in no way saying there is an intelligent force behind them, only that the selective pressures involved in selecting out mutations better fitted to the environment are very much not random; they guide, or select, which mutations will result in more offspring through greater propagation and survival.

Pretty much, I'm brilliant.

I love how your so witty, I really do. Everything you come up with is so original and to the point. It really cuts!

Translation- Your self congratulatory primary school humour is clearly a guise to hide the fact you have no idea what to say, and is probably some of the lamest carp i've ever heard.
