In the words of martin Luther King Jr: When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'" I hope someday that we'll all come to understand each other. Then we'll be free. It saddens me that a noble soul like MLK was killed for dreaming the evidently impossible. But just because it seems impossible doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying, I guess. A.I. Watcher: When you ask what you say that isn't true while calling me a bigot, try reading through my posts again. Just becuase I can quesion morals doesn't make me bigoted. I question the morals of heterosexuals when they commit adultery. How dare I. All you have done with the childish arguement is twist what I say into hate. I've decided a while ago that I won't try to argue with pure hate, because hate cannot be reasoned with. I know. I have been hated, not because of any views that I have held, but because of what country I'm from. because of my accent. Because of the way I speak, people called me awful things, and trust me, I speak as well as anyone else here. I'm an American, but I'm not in America. So I know what it is like to be angry at broad-based hatred and judgement. I know what it is like to suffer from discrimination. You've judged me, but you've judged very, very wrong. I hope that after rereading this, you'll understand. If you don't... well, I would be disappointed, but not enirely surprised. After all this arguing, I just feel tired. I should have felt better, after all, I thought I was engaging in a thoughtful discussion, where I'd get the opportunity to see an alternative viewpoint presented, but... I see no viewpoints. Just fussing over words. I am not homophobic. I am a homosexual. You've finally got me to say those four words. Do I question myself? Of course. I can't just turn my brain on automatic and let myself go wherever impulse takes me. I can question anything and everything. Does that make me evil? Well, if it does, then I willingly join the evil ranks of Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and any other great thinker. To think is to question. Saying I cannot question is taking away my [insert diety here]-given right as a human being. Let's face it, some people's personal morals are to be questioned. Tim McVeigh's morals sure were screwed, and deserved scrutiny. Questioning a person's morals is not damning them.It is merely examining what is the best way to use our time granted us on this Earth. That's what morality is. And I will use no more of my time granted me on this Earth arguing like a four yar old. Good night. I've had enough. |
