What definition of normal are you using here? Some people are born with extra limbs, but that doesn't make it ''normal''. Natural vs. Normal Homosexuality can be considered "normal" by someone's standards, but not "natural". Meaning it is common enough to be normal, but that it's a choice to be gay. Homosexuality can be considered "natural" by someone's standards, but not "normal". Meaning someone can be born gay, but that it's not common enough to be "normal". If we are speaking strictly on the whole "It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, lolololol, so funny, so clever~", then "normal" just isn't the proper adjective. Rather, Forgetfulness here forgot to clear their stance up and straight out announce that they feel that homosexuality is an abomination against their God. |
waalex11 said: Forgetfulness said: I know I'm right but people could disagree, I think homosexuality isn't "normal". Well, it probably has a lot to do with how I was raised homosexuality is normal because, its from a human being that had the potential in his brain to become gay. "They were born gay." I'd rather say, its not common than not normal. But I get what you mean. Most people are straight, which is in a way 'more normal' in society. Normal simply means something conforming to the norm. The norm meaning that which is the most common. As long as homosexuality isn't the most common sexuality, it will always be abnormal. By the way, just to make things clear. There is no inherent value judgement attached to these words. And any implied value judgement between normal and abnormal exists solely and entirely in the mind of the observer. Something being abnormal doesn't make it lesser or greater than something normal, it simply means it's less common. So no, you're wrong. Homosexuality isn't normal. |

| It's not a belief but i like to pee myself a little around my friends? they must nevr know... |
| Several: 1) I have friends who do some recreational drugs that I am against doing (even cannabis) but I don't voice my dislike for them (the drugs, not the friends) 2) I don't enjoy drinking as much as most people at my age. 3) I down play my love of Japanese culture (Sometimes) in order to be socially accepted. There are others too but that is off the top of my head. |
| I don't really feel the need to go around telling the world all my beliefs that are unpopular in general society. If you ask, I'll tell you. If you don't, I won't. Simple and easy. |

| I should say that homosexuality is practiced by animals other than humans. Also, "natural," is a man-made word and does not come with any sort of negative or positive connotation. The second aspect of natural also applies to "normal." I support the legalization and acceptance of consensual incest between mature individuals. |

| I'm not too vocal about my opinions unless asked, so I tend to keep my beliefs to myself. Unpopular opinion/belief...

| All Onomatopoeias. I tend to voice all mine, I have no reason not to. |
| It's kind of hard to voice your opinions IRL, if you don't exist IRL. |

QueenJenny said: Utagaii said: Also, "natural," is a man-made word and does not come with any sort of negative or positive connotation. Can you think of any word that's not man-made then? And it does for a lot of people. I guess I meant that the idea is a a manmade concept. A thing such as "waterfall," is an irrefutable concept that exists in reality. But what is natural? People would say that manufactured plastics are not natural, but are they not made from chemical elements, compounds and bonds that make them? Why is this not natural? It's a man made concept that we use often to describe things that are straight from nature. I think the reason I said word was because I was thinking almost as if certain words were already "in existence." But again, of course, by nature of the fact that they are irrefutable existences; ideas that existed before man came to observe them. It's silly because it comes with a good connotation "ALL NATURAL FOOD." for example, when really, snake venom, by that definition, is also natural, but no one injects themselves with it. That is why the fact that for a lot of people it does have a connotation is stupid, and it shouldn't have one, because it isn't inherently bad or good. The color black has a negative connotation for many, but ask any experienced artist: It is necessary for beautiful and ugly paintings. That is the point of my post. |

| A lot of my views on how the US should fight wars and the treatment of enemy combatants are very unpopular in 2013, I get lectured everytime I try to state my opinion. |

| I don't know if its "unpopular" but I am 100% against the censorship of words the the hell is the point of having freedom of speech if your free speech gets bleeped being offended by words is as pointless as being offended by the middle finger cant believe after all this time people are still oversensitive to the stupidest things |

| "I reject your reality and substitute my own" |
| I keep quite a few views, opinions, or beliefs to myself that could potentially be detrimental to my career. However, my immediate family, fiance, and friends of long standing are aware of my stances on almost any issue. That being said, that only amounts to a dozen or so people in total. The rest of the world (in real life) receive a heavily edited version in regards to serious discussion when my views maybe atypical. |

At the same time the pejorative retains its significance primarily because it isn't commonly heard, or at least it isn't acceptable in polite conversation, if we were all to go around swearing 24/7 some of the words we love might lose their novelty. fameONE said: I'm not too vocal about my opinions unless asked, so I tend to keep my beliefs to myself.

And before the hoard of angry otaku call me a hypocrite; there's a difference between having a genuine interest in something perceived as 'nerdy,' and having a 'waifu.' It's honestly rather creepy. That's right the Japanese are quite backward when it comes to accepting other cultures, and they retain the fascist tendencies that they had in the past, here at university I've heard Japanese students say the most horrendous things in English, the funny/mildly disturbing thing is that they don't realize what they're saying is horrendous because it's probably acceptable to say those things in Japan.

Yes I think the thread about this made for quite a good discussion, and it certainly does follow that if marriage is simply a relationship between 2 adults who love each other exclusively then it makes no sense to ban incest while you allow homosexuality. I tend not to be so vocal about my leftist views in real life, I spent my teens as a Socialist and now I'm an Anarchist, it sits well with some audiences but I can tell there are loads of people out there who just write me off as an old school leftie nutcase. I try not to talk about my past either, because it will inevitably lead people to make assumptions. Of course on these forums I can be as vocal as I like. |
