1) I had an ex girlfriend who's mother "all of the sudden" found Jesus and became an active member of the Catholic church. This pissed me off, because I know for a fact that it was all for show, because it would raise her "standing" within the community". So I understand that just acting anything out means nothing in the end.
2)I believe that everybody deserves a certain level of respect as a human being, until they prove otherwise.
3)I am not racist, homophobic, or sexist, but i'll be damned if I am going to pass up the opportunity to laugh at a good joke, regardless of content.
Additionally, if these people are going to go on to bash the people they showed support too, or deny the support when heat comes their way, they are just as bad as the people that open about their racism/homophobia/sexism.
Edit, I believe that the world would be a better place if everybody was not tolerant, but genuinely respected people of all races, sexual preference, and gender. This cannot happen by force, but by education on the topic.
Sorry for copying your format, it just seemed the easiest way to answer all of the different questions/opinions that were presented in the argument.
2) I agree people should be acknowledged for being humans but it's in my opinion absurd to respect them for something you accomplish when you get born.. Perhaps "respect" in itself is a wider term than I thought at first, and you're right. But I still would think that you shouldn't respect someone for having an opinion if you don't agree with it - FOR AN EXAMPLE.
3)heheh yeah.
4) Agreed completely!
5)I couldn't agree more for your edit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
