I will give you reason.
If you went into a store and stole something, how would you feel about it? Would you feel bad? Some people wouldn't. I am one of those who would. If I did anything homosexual, I would also feel bad -- I'd feel guilty. Some call it a conscience, some call it neurons firing in a certain way.
Does it mean there's something wrong with my brain for feeling that way? I don't know -- it depends whose side you're arguing for. But I'm not alone in feeling this way.
dfffddf, sorry for going off on the tangent. I think it's about to be wrapped up though, so I don't want to start a separate post for a topic that's almost done.

Really?? 100 miles at 6 30 pace? I would LOOOVE to see that. Better yet, tell me which page of the Guiness Book of World Records your achievement is listed on because it would indeed be a world record.
You're such a shitty liar and probably an even worse runner. Now go eat something out of your fuel belt.
Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I really hate it when people hijack a conversation that is about one topic and turn it into an acrimonious debate about some hot-button political issue.
Yes, this thread was fun before all that.
I hate when people equate downloading music, movies, etc. with stealing. Copyright infringement is not theft!
Shove your sorry up your ass.
Go start another thread.

He was saying that people who make fun of him for wearing a fuel belt and for running slower than 6:30 per mile on his training runs should try running 100 miles without a fuel belt at 6:30 a mile or faster. (He was implying that they couldn't, and they therefore shouldn't make fun of him training for an actual ultra which requries a slow pace and sustenance while you run). Reading comprehension is a wonderful skill...

The inconsequential thing that pisses me off the most: when people think they have a right to never be offended and who try to take others' actual rights away to try to protect this 'right'.
I also get annoyed by people who think I shouldn't sing or whistle to myself in public and decide they need to tell me to stop.

The reason it's not homophobic is because I'm not afraid of it, as the term implies. Your statement that I think it's "icky" is a straw man, but you seem so desperate to pin it on me. I may disagree with you, but that doesn't make me dumb or naive, like you are implying by telling me I hold this childish view of something "unnatural". No, I actually just think it's wrong. You may disagree, but the fact that you think you hold a moral high ground doesn't make you right.
It's not a prejudice opinion either. I don't think it's right, but I'm not judging anyone for it either. I leave that up to the Lord, but for now I am as tolerant as I need to be. Now go set up your straw men somewhere else and stop hijacking people's threads.
It's entirely possible that it's something other than you having an aversion to homosexuality because it's icky, but I haven't heard an explanation in this thread. You've just said it's wrong with no more detail than that. What is wrong about it? You've conceded it's not like rape or murder where someone else is harmed. At least if you said, "The Bible tells me so" I could understand where you're coming from. I might disagree that an ancient book should have any relevance, but that is a different argument. You haven't said anything other than I know it's wrong, I think it's wrong. So someone like me, who is trying to understand where you're coming from, is left to my best guess. Which would be - it's icky, because I agree, it seems kind of icky.
If I've guessed wrong, please correct me. I am a reasonable person. I can at least acknowledge other points of view if they are rational. For example, I'm pro-choice but I can see where a pro-life person is coming from. If they truly believe a ball of cells is a person then OK, that's why you think early abortions are bad. It's a consistent position. I disagree about the ball of cells, but I see where they're coming from.
What I don't understand is inconsistent or irrational positions - like abortion is murder...but it's OK if the woman was raped. WTF? I thought abortion was murder, how does a previous rape justify a subsequent murder? Be consistent. Rape is horrible, but murder is even worse.
By the way, I'm not attributing any of this abortion tangent to you, just trying to show that I can reasonably disagree if you explain yourself. So go ahead if you wish, otherwise I (and people like me) are left to make our best guesses as to why you think how you do.
I didn't say why I thought it wasn't right because I didn't want to make this a discussion about homosexuality since that's not what the thread is about, and you said you wouldn't ask for it. Of course, however, you had to coax it out of me and argue with my position when I'm not here to argue my position. And please stop it with the patronizing. I can do without you insulting my intelligence. I believe it is wrong because God is my authority and yes, I believe the Bible is very clear on this matter.

Just thought I'd chime in, sex, gender, and sexual orientation all have significant biological components, both in humans and other animals, so saying homosexuality is wrong is like saying blue eyes or dark skin is wrong. It just makes the person look ignorant and hateful. This is coming from a heterosexual man who finds the thought of sexual activity with another male disgusting (as in, I have no homosexual desires to speak of). Homosexuals are born who they are just like anyone else and are just trying to live their lives like anyone else. I don't understand why people have problems with that.
I'm sorry, but you are very dumb or ignorant if you don't see the problem with this logic. I hope, for your sake, that it's the latter.

I am the OP. Please get off my thread and go somewhere else. We want to hear about people getting cut off in traffic or whistling, not your stupid view on homosexuality. Quit hijacking this thread.

Is it just because gay sex is icky?
If you just think it's icky - hey I agree.
So what do I think? You probably think gay sex is icky.
People who pull words like "icky" straight from the gay dude dictionary and yet claim they're not gay
We hate it when peenchy rednecks complain about us taking their jobs.
We hate it when you get all the chingasos on the Christmas tree and then it catches on fire.
We hate it when some stupid kid yells Immigra! just to get us all running like cucarachas when the light comes on.
We hate white people hot sauce.
We definitely don't hate sitting by the pier whistling at ugly white girls.

I didn't hijack your thread. It was the guy who had to start an argument by responding to my original post. Blame him, not me.
"Someone Else" is an inconsequential thing that pisses me off. Seriously, please go away and stop posting.
Same with "Go Away".
hunting. I can't go in the forest at will because some idiot hunters take their 10-year-old out who shoots at anything that moves.
Redneck accents. I know it's how people were raised and not their fault. I just can't stand to decipher that screeching abomination of sound for more than a few minutes.

I pisses me off when a webpage is loading and I go to click on something just as it resizes and I end up clicking on something else, usually an ad. I think they do it on purpose.
