When I read the 1st post of this thread, I winced at what I thought was to come. Never in my wildest imagination did I think it would end up as a spelling argument.

Ah, but that's the thing. It's not a spelling argument. Depending on the intention they can be viewed as completely different words with completely different meanings, just with a similar spelling.

It's different to an argument about - say - colour / color, or emphasise / emphasize etc. Those are the same words that have different spellings in different regions.

In law, and legal decisions, the term IS judgment... only... (no matter what any generic online source tells you - ANY lawyer will tell you the same) - speaking from 14 years of experience in studying and researching law, and 6 years experience of teaching it.

In other contexts, the term can be regional specific, i.e. judgement or judgment. 'using your own judgement' etc.

Telling me otherwise is comparable to me telling a Doctor that they are performing their surgery incorrectly when I'm not a Doctor of medicine myself - i.e. a little bit on the silly side to put it mildly.

Even if that is the case, I didn't know that WB had a law degree and is a judge who makes legal decisions Not in my dungeon he isn't

But I think the REAL point here is....... Who cares? It's just an online forum, not an official court of law. We all know what was meant, and because the thread has been derailed, the bigot in question seems to have sneaked away and kinda gotten away with it......

Good point LRW. To be honest, I didn't know if he was joking or not, as he's a forum member I've respected for a long time.

Read Vlads post again then read mine on his post He confirmed via PM that my thoughts on his post are correct. I think some folks owe Vlad an apology for flying off the handle for no reason.

To be honest given the broohaha towards Vlads post I've lost respect for a couple of members.

First, it would be nice having Vlad explain himself instead of you, since your opinion on things tends to be irregular and volatile and vacillates wildly.
Second, there is no scientific defense of the view Vlad has put forward. Whether it was intended to be incendiary or put forth merely out of ignorance.
Third, unless every time that vlad has had sex with a member of the opposite sex was solely for the purpose of impregnation, then the view is purely hateful, hypocritical, ignorant and intolerant of alternative sexuality.

Absolutely. Such far-right, extreme statements completely goes against forum policy as well.

Some reading about life may thus be required for certain people.

According to major studies, 2% to 10% of people have had some form of same-sex sexual contact within their lifetime. A 2006 study, 20% of respondents anonymously reported some homosexual feelings, although only 2-3% identified themselves as homosexual. Homosexual behavior is also observed in many non-human animal species.

I might add that while there are those who still hold the view that homosexual activity is 'unnatural' or 'dysfunctional', research has shown that homosexuality is an example of normal variation in human sexuality and is not in and of itself a source of negative psychological effects. Prejudice and discrimination against homosexual and bisexual people, however, have been shown to cause psychological harm. Sadly, this doesn't seem to make people think twice before posting their uneducated views on here.

Also...

Homosexual behavior in animals refers to the documented evidence of homosexual, bisexual and transgender behavior in non-human animals. Such behaviors include umpalumpa, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting. Homosexual and bisexual behavior are widespread in the animal kingdom: a 1999 review by researcher Bruce Bagemihl shows that homosexual behavior has been observed in close to 1500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, and is well documented for 500 of them. Animal sexual behavior takes many different forms, even within the same species. The motivations for and implications of these behaviors have yet to be fully understood, since most species have yet to be fully studied. According to Bagemihl, "the animal kingdom [does] it with much greater sexual diversity—including homosexual, bisexual and nonreproductive umpalumpa—than the scientific community and society at large have previously been willing to accept."

Pretty basic and well-known stuff. Having to school adults on it via a forum seems pretty insane. I expected shock at the article I initially posted, not wholehearted support of prejudice, discrimination, hate and lack of basic human understanding.

Oh well if he confirmed to you via PM then that's just fine.

Are there guidelines on how the parents should cure their children once they've identified the problem?

To be fair to the Malaysia goverment, as it is a developing county it is just going through it's next step of evolution, just like the developed world (who no doubt in 100 years time people will look back on us now and think that we are almost savages)

To us yes, the whole "watch out for gays and stamp it out" thing is shocking, but was not long ago that we would not let black people on a bus or let women vote! I am sure that in a few years I am sure there will be other "isms" we will of got rid of. Especially when things like religious hate is at a high.

animals, countries, social groups evolve.
