CHAPTER73 : Jinzo's Trump card
Alrighty.
It's almost good I'm not going to open the discussion for this topic, because how people answered could have possibly changed my otherwise positive opinions of them.
What am I saying? Of course I'll leave the discussion open! Who wants to live in a fool's paradise?!?
A Moderator can lock it if the civility factor is compromised too badly.
Here goes.
Homosexuality.
In some cases, it is a "lifestyle choice". Much as Michael Jackson, for WHATEVER reason decided to first change into a woman, then again into something eerily more necrotic-lookin', so too can one "choose" to be homosexual.
From what I've seen, it's not the majority of them.
Just like you and me, they are born, then wake up one day with a drumming sound in the ears.
Unlike us, the beat of the drum only pounds around the opposite sex. Go fig? But that's the deal.
Who else is like this?
Who else is "born"?
People of a different skin color.
They are born, and by NO FAULT OR CHOICE OF THEIR OWN, they are what they are.
So. Let me get this straight.
One kind of person innocent of their body's attributes can write stories of romance... for if they were told they could not, BZ would almost certainly be sued and or wind up on the evening news.
One kind of person innocent of their body's attributes has to just bite the bullet?
Sure, sure, there's people who, by no fault or choice of their own, wake up and decide that immoral, humiliating, murderous acts against their fellow man is somehow "normal"... and while that's unfortunate, it is uncommon. Lives are at stake and people DEAL with it accordingly.
But this?
We already evolved fairly well to not slam a person for being a certain color on the outside.
So how on earth is this going on with those a different color on the inside?
Hideous. Though one more time, I do believe that a "wrong" was not the intention.
Hopefully I have altered what was the real problem with the rule being enacted, which was merely the staff's perception of the situation.
Well, the staff that agreed / authored it. It is ENTIRELY possible that the obvious parallel present between one being born a certain color and one being born to a certain disposition were missed.
In fact, I missed it earl on in the discussion myself... despite it being slap-in-the-face right in front of me.
Peace?
Think no less than one minute on what you just read before even THINKING of hitting that reply button.
You have all the time in the world to formulate a coherent, respectful statement of your position, should you disagree with mine.
