Boy!! yuh know JC like to stay clear of ppl and they bogus argument BC the first thing allyuh does say is i'm ah racist.
anyway, this ultra conservative mantality we english speaking caribbeans have is indicative of our colonial masters in more ways than one, even more than we're willing to admit.
every other of our colonial counterparts , forinstance , puerto rico , cuba, martinique, haiti, are all less threaten by certain life styles that most english speaking caribbeans may find offensive.
the fact that sex education is freely taught in most westernminded European countries with the exception of england and america, red light districts and marijuana cafes throughout europe with the exception of britain should be a testimony to our closed mindedness and conservatism.
english speaking countries are less progressive in terms of human relations, issues like the legalisation of marijuana and prostitution should no longer be an issue,and should be considered on the level of alcohol consumption, but is frowned opon by former britsh colonies.
which bring us to homosexuality. i happen to know a few homosexuals , as a matter of fact my cousin whom i grew up with from childhood is openly gay, and we sometimes have in-dept discussions about his sexual orientation.
@ first i hated him BC of the way i was raised to view homosexuality, as a matter of fact sexuality on the whole, just like most members on the board. but after living in the U.S. for so long and interacted with so many differant life styles i kinda came to terms with it.
and what i discovered through having these conversations with my cousin and other folks was that these ppl had no choice in their sexual orientation, did any of us had any thing to do with us being straight? or our skin colour, or the colour of our hair, our height, hair texture?? no!!
homosexuality IMO is a birth defect!! no one chooses to be gay, it's that simple! my cousin has no straight friends, no family support, no sympathy from his parents. the whole family does laugh behind his back and call him names, who the fack would choose that life style for themselves!
i think jesus said it best when the scribes and Pharisees despised him for liming with prostitutes , drunks and tax collectors who were deemed sinful in those days.
he said " those that are well don't need a physician but those that are sick do".
the woman that was caught in adultery was exonerated by the christ as well when he said to the angry mob who wanted to stone her to death, " those of you without sin cast the first stone".
all former british colonies have this backward medieval bible thumping ultra Conservative view of the world, while other europeans has become progressive in their thinking as knowledge increased, britain & their former colonies choose to remain in ignorance.
it's time to upgrade ppl, remember life is filled with circumstances,and the best way to deal with it is with an open level mind and from a knowledgable scientific prospective. after all yuh can't judge ah man unless yuh walk ah mile in his shoes.
war i will leave yuh with this clip from ninja man about his stance on gays. it's almost @ the end of the clip so yuh could forward to the end.
