Title: 13 y/o gay kid kills self
Post by: muman613 on October 04, 2010, 02:45:08 PM
I don't know what to say... I think 13 is a little bit young to be considered 'gay' and actually a 13 year old boy should not be concerned with sexual orientation.. When I was 13 I was not sexually active. What is wrong with kids today? Why does the media want to force perverse sexual orientations on young people as young as 8-10 years old?

I do not mourn the death of Asher Brown.. I will use it as an example of the perverse nature of the Gay agenda, using young children in their attempt to make abomination acceptable...

There is no good news in this story. None. It's sad, and it's endemic of the nightmares today's LGBT youth continue to face every. single. day. Asher Brown, a 13-year-old eighth grader at Hamilton Middle School outside Houston, shot himself in the head last week after being "bullied to death."

Asher was tormented for being small. For his religious beliefs. For the way he dressed. And for being gay. His bullies acted out mock gay sex acts in phys ed class.

As is growing increasingly typical, Asher's mother and stepfather Amy (pictured below) and David Truong say they notified administrators at the Harris, Texas school about how their son was being taunted. They say it's been a year and a half since they first alerted the school, but no action was taken. Calls to the school went unanswered. The school, meanwhile, says it never received any calls. School district spokeswoman Kelli Durham insists no students or teachers registered complaints, either. Update: Durham says the school received an email from Amy earlier this month, but it was about problems at home, not school bullying.

Youth are sexualized before the hit age 10 nowadays. My friend is a teacher and he hears the grade 6s and 7s talking about sex acts. It's a complete abomination. How sick is it that this kid believes he is gay and at the same time his classmates know of gay sex acts to mock him with. It just shows how kids are indoctrinated to act like animals by the media.

The west needs to return to the golden rule and enforcing it with capital punishment in schools. If you bully someone you're going to get cracked by a rod, simple as that.

I'm sure his family wouldn't mourn your death either Muman. Give the kid a break, he probably wasn't even gay, he was just accused of it. Maybe he wasn't a tough guy so he was pegged as "gay" by other kids. Maybe he wasn't sexually active and said something about "eww girls" like kids in elementary school do (if he's 13, he's probably in 6th grade, the first grade of middle school) and it was taken the wrong way as if he was "gay". If he dressed differently at all, it didn't even have to be all that effeminate to get attention, he just had to be different, and again he could have gotten targeted as "gay" just for that.
 
All kinds of sick rumors flew around about me when I was in Jr. High and none of them had ANY basis in reality whatsoever, it was just stuff kids made up out of their own heads and spread around.

One example: I had this boy come up to me one day and tell me to stop telling people I'd had sex with him. He was really angry with me! I didn't even know who this kid was. I never did find out his name, and I hadn't had sex with anyone at all! I told him I hadn't said anything like that, and that was the first I'd ever heard of it. I was actually really shocked because apparently this rumor had been going around for a while and I hadn't even known about it! He didn't believe me and screamed at me to stop telling people that. What could I do? I didn't even know anything about it until he told me!

That was only one of many completely unfounded rumors that had no basis in reality at all, all because I was kind of shy and not very social.

I can completely understand why that kid committed suicide. If it wasn't for the fact I thought I would go to hell if I did, I might have done the same thing.

RS,

We all have stories about how we were bullied when we were younger. I am not an exception to that. I was not a very popular kid in my school. I had a group of about four people I considered friends throughout high school. We were the nerds... Nerds have never been treated very well throughout our history. I was called 'Poindexter' by many, even into my young adulthood people would call me 'Poindexter'.

But I did not allow what other people think to influence me.

I believe kids need to experience bullies in order to become strong enough to live in the real world of competition in the workplace. Working in a competitive field makes it essential that you be able to take some disapproval. There is a real problem with people who don't know how to take any criticism and think everyone is picking on them...

Muman if all that happened was me being called a nerd or something, that might have been something I could deal with, maybe even it would have been accurate considering that I was interested in different subject matter (like science). I wasn't just teased or something, which would have been normal. Kids can get pushed to the point where they don't see anything else except the pain.

Even if this kid did have gay tendencies, he didn't deserve to be driven to suicide for it. He may have outgrown it if he had a chance. I doubt he ever actually had sex with another boy even if he did have those tendencies.

I can also vouch for the fact the schools don't do jack sh1t to protect kids. It's almost as if they see the kids facing this kind of persecution as being the problem rather than the kids tormenting them as being the problem.

It's a sad situation all around. This kid was so tormented and empty inside that he felt the only way out was killing himself. Whether he was gay or not is totally unimportant. Like Ruby pointed out, at that age nobody has fully developed their identity sexually yet.

The kids who were making fun of him also are so empty and devoid of morality they get pleasure out of tormenting this other kid literally to death. Why is this happening more and more these days? Children acting like sociopaths with no morals. It's parents not teaching their kids morality and leaving it up to the media to raise their children for them. How does a kid at 13 even know what homosexual sex acts are that they can use to mock another kid? The media.

There's a spiritual holocaust going on in western society today and this kid is another casualty.

This is absolutely true. A lot of the time teachers are banned from intervening and disciplining children. You get fired. Hell, you can't even fail a kid these days and can't give grades lower than C's so can you imagine a teacher disciplining someone? Don't get me wrong there are a lot of disgusting teachers, but many have their hands tied. A lot of the school administrators could give a [censored] about children. Dealing with bullying means more work for them and they just wanna collect a paycheck and gtfo.

I agree that kids today are severely lacking in the areas of empathy and compassion. It is sad to see this as these two traits are very important in the Jewish religion. So many of our commandments relate to issues between man and his fellow. The purpose of these commands is to create a righteous people who treat each other with proper respect.

I am sorry if it sounds like I am cruel in my position. I am just so tired reading about young people so confused about sexual issues because of the evil designs of the homosexual agenda.

I really find it hard to believe that age 13 he could even begin to understand what sexual attraction was.

It did sound awfully cruel for you to say you didn't mourn him when he was just an innocent child who was being attacked and driven to suicide. If he was a Jewish kid being treated that way, not for being gay, but for being Jewish, or wearing his hair a certain way associated with Judaism, etc. I bet you'd be severely outraged. A child is a child Muman, and he and his family deserve to have some compassion for what happened to him and what his family is going through.

He learned from the school curriculum and from mass media that it was possible he might be gay. This was a very bad influence and if he hadn't had this pre-suggested to him, maybe he wouldn't have thought of it. All the kids learn this now.

As an adolescent just beginning to have sexual feelings and going through puberty, he was trying to discover who he was. Instead of being allowed to discover this in a safe environment, he was driven to suicide.

I am not talking about that. I am talking about being mature enough to know about sexual attraction. Without proper education it is easy to become confused about the purpose of sexual relations {having children}. Without this education than a child would think that anything which feels good {causes excitation, etc.} is good... I believe that when a child is young he doesnt know that it is wrong to have a same sex relation... A child must be taught that he should never 'touch' anothers private parts, should act in a way of modesty at all times...

So now the schools and the media caused him to be gay??? The lengths we will go through to find something in the liberal stream to attribute to causing homosexuality, but we will never even remotely consider the possibility that this is something that someone is born with.

Once again we will say that science has yet to find a 'gay' gene which causes a person to be 'born' as a homosexual. This has also been shown that two twins who are born with the same genetic codes, one may become gay and the other may not become gay. How can this be something someone is born with?

In most cases, except when a person does not have the sexual organs, the decision to engage in sexual behavior comes only from a persons choice. A human being has control over his or her urges, unless that being was taught otherwise...

Ex-F'ing-scuse me?!? Did I just hear that right? So, you think it's okay for kids to be mercilessly persecuted while administrators and officials deliberately stand idly by? As far as I am concerned suicide was his only option, the way the authorities handled it.

Who cares about the [censored] faggot agenda (which you appear to not be particularly bothered by when it comes to lesbian/bisexual women such as Katy Perry and Megan Fox, or flaming gay fudgepackers like Eminem)--this was a helpless 13-year-old kid. Asher Brown was not producing music videos promoting sex with men or marching on Capitol Hill for faggot marriage. It's times like this I wonder about your conscience.

He wouldn't feel that way if it was a Jewish kid. There is a complete double standard. I bet you if some kid was being persecuted for being Jewish he'd have a completely different attitude.

His family apparently followed Hinduism, but being white, I guess they weren't diverse enough.

If schools would re-institute DODGEBALL it would end all of this hateful nonsense.

I'm very serious.

It would allow those who want to gang up on a "sissy" to throw balls at him, which in turn would allow the intended victim to not be hit by being well coordinated, and which in turn would allow the "sissY" to smack the living cr_p out of the bullies with a dodgeball thrown well once the sides switch.

Constructive release of pent up aggression and testosterone overloads.

Boxing would be good also.

Young adolescent males must be allowed to vent in normal ways or the end result is this kind of insanity showing up every day.

Just my opinion.

I never knew anybody to kill either a queer or kill themselves for being bullied in the days I was growing up.

Nor did anyone even consider carrying around a firearm with them.

In most cases, except when a person does not have the sexual organs, the decision to engage in sexual behavior comes only from a persons choice. A human being has control over his or her urges, unless that being was taught otherwise...



Simon Levay at the Salk Institute has already performed studies showing that the part of the hypothalamus, that deals with sexuality and desire, is significantly smaller or missing in homosexuals.

The choice to engage in sexual behavior might come from a person's choice, but the desires are NOT a choice. I never made a conscious decision to be straight. If I were to engage in homosexual behavior, that would not make me gay, because my desires would still naturally be heterosexual, which is something I have no control or choice over. The same goes for homosexuals. Whether or not they choose to follow their natural desires and engage in behaviors based on their desires or whether they choose to deny their desires and engage in heterosexual behavior, they're still gonna be gay. No way of escaping that no matter how hard someone tries or how moral someone might be. How else can you explain that there are people who were raised in strongly fundamentally religious families that absolutely condemn homosexuality where those people end up becoming gay, while at the same time, children who are raised by gay parents end up becoming straight? Ya ever hear the most basic expression, "If homosexuality were a choice, why in the world would anyone want to choose it?" All of the gay people that I know, all of them stated that this was definitely not something that they chose and this was something that they struggled with for many years before coming to terms with who they really were. It's not like they just woke up one day and decided to be gay just because they thought it was a neat idea or because they were influenced by the media or school curriculum or any other ridiculous claims like that.

The nature/nurture argument has been going on for a very long time and will continue to be debated forever. Regardless of what the real cause or combination of causes might be, the bottom line is that the real disability and disease lies in the "attitudes" towards homosexuality. That's something that is completely in someone's control and is a choice. That is something that is only influenced by outside forces like media, family influences, religion, insecurities of their own sexualities, etc. Also, the higher rate of suicide among homosexuals is NOT due to them being homosexual. It's a result of the homophobia and the bullying that they experience from society. That's what caused this poor kid to take his life. Society does not cause homosexuality, but it definitely causes homophobia which is what the real disease is. I know that nobody on this forum will agree with me on this, but frankly, I really don't care.

in russia we had a shooting range in school where we trained kind of like in army, america should have that in schools also, it certainly beats LGBT or african american studies. there were no queers back then, everyone knew their role as a man.

of course it saddens me that a confused boy would kill himself over unclear emotions, but, unfortunately thats what leftism does to people.

Muman,

I often agree with your thinking, but this was really unkind.  This 13 year old felt like he had no options.  I have news for you, that is not the fault of this child, nor the gay community.   Kids do pick on others kids for being perceived as gay, sometimes so viciously it's hard to believe.  It's absolutely plausible that a 13 year old would have a glimpse into his future sexual orientation.  Who is helping these youth?  Not the gay community, not us, so who?  Before you condemn this young man, ask yourself what have you done to make the world a place where this young man could have found an outstretched helping hand?  Condemning and rebuking is the easy part (for all of us).

JTFEnthusiast2,

Im sorry you feel that way, but I do not share your opinion. I believe a lot of people have experienced bullying in their lifetime. I know that I have, and I survived, and I never had any suicidal feelings.

I doubt that at 13 a boy knows what his sexual leanings are. I don't want to reveal a lot about my younger years, but there was a time when people thought I was gay because I did not date until later in my years. When I was very young I was caught in a bathroom with a girl, and in some ways I always felt like I didn't want to take advantage of women so I would not be macho or anything.

I do not judge others often, but when I do I do so because it makes me sad to think that there will be many more kids committing suicide in order to get attention. The system doesnt care about these kids, it wants to have immoral sexual relationships accepted just like heterosexual marriage.

If schools would re-institute DODGEBALL it would end all of this hateful nonsense.

They've stopped playing dodgeball?

What the hell?



Quote
I'm very serious.

So am I.  When did they banish dodgeball?

In any case, there was certainly dodgeball at my school and that didn't stop kids from picking on each other or calling each other names or bullying.   But fisticuffs usually work like a charm to stop that kind of stuff.   I can't help but feel that the parents botched up a little in this case, they didn't communicate enough with their kid, and they didn't teach him the proper values about what to do about a bully.   It may not have been their fault, but I learned from this story that someday when I'm a parent God willing, I'm going to have to be especially careful about this type of thing and be proactive.

I always enjoy stories from parents of kids that got bullied when the parents tell with much pride how their son/daughter "took care" of the bully the old fashioned way after advice from the parent, and then with a smile they say how the bully never troubled their kid again.

The nature/nurture argument has been going on for a very long time and will continue to be debated forever. Regardless of what the real cause or combination of causes might be, the bottom line is that the real disability and disease lies in the "attitudes" towards homosexuality. That's something that is completely in someone's control and is a choice. That is something that is only influenced by outside forces like media, family influences, religion, insecurities of their own sexualities, etc. Also, the higher rate of suicide among homosexuals is NOT due to them being homosexual. It's a result of the homophobia and the bullying that they experience from society. That's what caused this poor kid to take his life. Society does not cause homosexuality, but it definitely causes homophobia which is what the real disease is. I know that nobody on this forum will agree with me on this, but frankly, I really don't care.



Is there a gene for homophobia too?   




Further, I really don't understand what you're saying:  "Also, the higher rate of suicide among homosexuals is NOT due to them being homosexual."

Isn't the bullying and homophobia caused by them being homosexual?

I take it you mean by that statement that they are not to blame for their suicides but society is instead?   Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean.   I also haven't seen a study proving that bullying is responsible for increased suicide rates for homosexuals.  Do you know of one?    It would seem to me that many people are upset about being gay (you described your own friends saying the attraction was 'something they would never choose'), wracked with guilt, difficulty adjusting to society, can't have a wife and kids and make a "normal" family, etc and these difficult emotional states can likely lead to increased depression and suicide, but hey I'm no expert.

JTFEnthusiast2,

Im sorry you feel that way, but I do not share your opinion. I believe a lot of people have experienced bullying in their lifetime. I know that I have, and I survived, and I never had any suicidal feelings.

I doubt that at 13 a boy knows what his sexual leanings are. I don't want to reveal a lot about my younger years, but there was a time when people thought I was gay because I did not date until later in my years. When I was very young I was caught in a bathroom with a girl, and in some ways I always felt like I didn't want to take advantage of women so I would not be macho or anything. I also consider my parents divorce to have had an effect on me also...

But my point is this... Why did this kid feel like he was gay? Who told him this? It is the current school system which is feeding them the lies that that lifestyle is acceptable. The whole moral system has become corrupted because of the gay agenda in the school systems.

Nice try.

So that we don't get into an endless tinkling match of he said/she said, I'll avoid all ambiguity by quoting your OP:

Quote from: muman613
I do not mourn the death of Asher Brown.. I will use it as an example of the perverse nature of the Gay agenda, using young children in their attempt to make abomination acceptable...

That has to be one of the most horrid and vile things written at JTF (or anywhere on the internet) all year--and considering that we've had some pretty vicious Nazi trolling, I think that's saying quite a lot. But like Rubystars said, I doubt the boy's parents will mourn your death, either, so I guess we're even. Leaving that aside, though, you seem to have a rather interesting matrix/protocol for getting worked up about the gay agenda:

http://jtf.org/forum_english/index.php/topic,49776.msg472361.html#msg472361
Quote from: muman613
It is a bit humorous to hear that from you, the one who constantly blathers on and on about the infidelities and immorality of all kinds of lame artists. Like Eminem who I had barely heard of in recent years until you started on a binge, spreading gossip and slander every day. You constantly bleat out the hatred you feel for artists like lady gaga
(ironically enough, this post was in a thread about your hatred for a celebrity you don't like, Roger Waters)

Quote from: muman613
spreading antisemitic libels are far more injurious to the world than sexual infidelity
(as if the sexually immoral artists aren't anti-Semites)

Quote from: muman613
I am wont to say that those who violate Shabbat are just as culpable as those who engage in Homosexual sex.

So, make up your mind: is the sodomite movement a horrible thing that has to be fought at all costs, or something that isn't that big of a deal?

Pretending that your answer is the former, I don't understand how artists like Katy Perry (whose claim to fame was a pop song in which she brags about kissing a woman, in great detail), Lady Gaga (who has very casually talked about sleeping with both men and women for sexual release), Eminem, who you accused me of lying about (who explicitly admitted to having unprotected sex with another rapper, and vocally supports faggot "marriage"), or Angelina Jolie (the proud bisexual and proud Hamas supporter) need protection from "lashon hara". Pretending the answer is the latter, I don't understand how a friendless, universally despised, and miserable thirteen-year-old kid is so worthy of your detestation.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to give me a usual stock response, but whatever. If I won't tolerate arrogant and nasty posts from The Coon, Ron, etc., I certainly won't from anybody else.
Title: Re: 13 y/o gay kid kills self
Post by: muman613 on October 05, 2010, 01:29:01 AM
DBF,

I care very little about what you think... I am not a DBF fan, lets say...

I do not persecute anyone because of their sexual orientation. I do not go around saying 'this one is gay' and 'that one is gay', as you seem to have a jolly time doing so often. I do not take any pleasure in discussing this topic concerning what someone does as long as they do it in the privacy of their own homes, and not in front of others for whom they will influence.

Why it would seem that I should expect the parent of this kid to mourn for my death is odd. I don't, and I don't expect anyone except my family and friends to do that. I do not expect to be made a martyr out of, as my brother was made a martyr.

Is it strength or weakness which is expressed in this story? It is always easy to blame the bully in these cases, and while it is true that aspect of the story will be given all the attention, it is also important to recognize that the liberalization of sexual expression which is being taught to young children today is going to have serious side-effects.

I do not care what you think DBF, and this is not why I am explaining my post. I am explaining this for my friends and those who at least try to understand where I stand on these issues. It is wrong to persecute people for their failings. What is proper is to elevate that which is good in a person, and to compliment them, and give them constructive criticism... It is proper to rebuke a person to the level which will cause him to change his or her ways.

I never would wish death on a child for this kind of thing. If the readers think that they are wrong. Normally I would not even consider that to be a possibility, that a child that young would identify with that kind of lifestyle.

In my many years and the many experiences I have in life I have encountered people who struggle with these kinds of issues. I do not judge them harshly and I do not withhold charity to them. It is not my job to punish others for these kinds of things, it is only Hashems will that I express my displeasure.

Why you bring up the fact that I told the true interpretation of the Torah concerning lesbian relationships is odd. I will repeat it again. The Torah does not expressly forbid female homosexual relationships as it does male homosexual relationships, which it calls a man sleeping with a man as he sleeps with a woman an ABOMINATION. The female relationship is not referenced in that commandment. The sages learn that the female homosexual relationship is forbidden through the command not to imitate the ways of the Mitzrayim {with whom lesbian relationships were common}. Do you understand what I am saying now, DBF? Or do you want me to bring more examples of this from the sages?

The reasons the Torah calls the male homosexual relationship an Abomination has been discussed on the forum before. What I often point out is that what is more important is for a man to observe the commandments himself before he rebukes others for not observing them. Judaism does not intend for people to use the commandments to create conflicts, because we are told that all the Torahs ways are peace. My constant admonition is that all Jews should work on observing Shabbat more strictly because the Torah places a very heavy stress on Shabbat observance, to the point that the penalty for desecrating the Shabbat was death, the very same penalty for having a male homosexual relationship.

So DBF, take a deep breath and relax...

He wouldn't feel that way if it was a Jewish kid.

Your futile irrational paranoia passes the border of anti-Semitism.

There is a complete double standard. I bet you if some kid was being persecuted for being Jewish he'd have a completely different attitude.

PRAISE THE DIFFERENCE!

When Jews are persecuted we are burnt, hammered, slew, hanged, raped, robbed, humiliated, etc.

When this kid was "persecuted", he merely had his homo face unmasked.

How DARE you compare between persecution of Jews and "persecution" (a little prank this kid took too seriously!)? You just show your real value for Jewish lives.

I'd rather have all little homos dead than have ONE Jew have his nail scratched. Yes, I know it sounds racist

Ok a lot of you are missing a few important points.

1.  Puberty for boys can start as early as 10 like it did to me. At 5th grade or even sooner they have sex ed class that where in my day in the 80's they separated the boys from girls and talked about biology. No sex pictures.

2.  Should it matter if gays are born that way or made an easy choice to do evil homosexual acts. Does that change your opinion on whether homosexuality is evil behavior?  We need to be compassionate and encourage them to stop doing the behavior. We should curse those who encourage it or who are activists for it.

3.  This suicide is a tragedy. Bullying is bad mmmmkay. What is also terrible is now the gay activists are shamelessly going to use this to help their cause and too many Americans have become so brainwashed with political correctness that they still cant say what I just said.

4.  A man attracted to males might not be able to help it. That part isn't the sin. Like straight men are attracted to the idea of their own fantasies. It's the behavior which is the problem.

And frankly, I'm surprised at some of the callous comments here!  Have any of you ever experienced severe depression and feelings of worthlessness?  Do you know what it's like to have almost no appetite and to waste away as a result?  Do you know what it's like to get sick every other week as a result of your body wasting away?  Or how about wishing you were dead?  

I have a big problem with bullying.  Now granted not everyone is going to like each other.  But kids should at least learn to be civil to one another, regardless of how someone looks.  If anything, the parents should have encouraged their son to fight back against those bullies and to let them have it.  Unfortunately, the opposite takes place.  All these articles about bullies go on about how bullies pick on people who are shy/different, and how the victims should just tell a teacher, and otherwise just ignore the bully.

My nation has been exiled for more than 2,000 and it's a miracle the Jewish people actually survived. The survival has a price and its the leadership of weak, traitor Jews like Netanyahu.

If you don't know who do that is don't even bother answering me, ever. I would feel insulted being challenged for a discussion with a dude who calls himself anti-Islamic yet doesn't know who is the leader of the most dangerous Islamic organization, Hamas.

A guy who never had his foot stepped in Israel dares to question what an Israeli is saying. Typical Xtian arrogance.

I don't care what Pedofront says or not, there are some occasions (though rare ones) that Arabs are being bullied (thank G-D, an invader needs to know its place) but if you see bullying the enemies of Israel as wrong you're a disgusting hypocrite Nazi and I end this discussion right now.

This young boy did not deserve to be ruthlessly bullied while school administrators sat back and did nothing.  I think it's very sad that this child felt he had no other choice than to take his own life.  

And frankly, I'm surprised at some of the callous comments here!  Have any of you ever experienced severe depression and feelings of worthlessness?  Do you know what it's like to have almost no appetite and to waste away as a result?  Do you know what it's like to get sick every other week as a result of your body wasting away?  Or how about wishing you were dead?  

I have a big problem with bullying.  Now granted not everyone is going to like each other.  But kids should at least learn to be civil to one another, regardless of how someone looks.  If anything, the parents should have encouraged their son to fight back against those bullies and to let them have it.  Unfortunately, the opposite takes place.  All these articles about bullies go on about how bullies pick on people who are shy/different, and how the victims should just tell a teacher, and otherwise just ignore the bully.  



In school people have been trying to bully me for being from Russian descent. They called me Neo Nazi, filthy Ashkenazi, etc. I know what I'm talking about even though you doubt my intelligence, maturity and sanity. Homos deserve to be bullied because it makes people understand homosexuality is not acceptable, never; Arabs are sometimes being bullied in Jewish schools - would you declare Jihad in their defense as well?

Bullying is not always wrong.

So Ron, are you saying that you deserved to be bullied and called names in school just for being Russian?  How did that make you feel?  Did you think it was all fine and dandy? 

Now regarding your second sentence, I don't for a minute doubt your intelligence.

As for "homos" deserving to bullied, first off, how can you be sure some boy is definitely a homosexual?  After all, Muman just posted earlier that people thought he was gay when he was younger.  Would you have liked for him to be bullied?  I think there are other ways of teaching people that homosexuality is wrong.  I've known many gay men.  What I've heard from all of them is that they knew they were different from when they were little.  Homosexuality is not something people choose, like whether or not to color one's hair.  Whatever happened to trying to help these young people? 

Also, there's a big difference between having the same sex attraction and acting on the attraction.  How can you be so sure this boy acted on his urges?  So why not give the child the benefit of the doubt?  Why are you so angry?  What does it all matter now that the boy is dead?

Before you use an argument you better have some base for it. I see Americans and Germans as different civilizations, and as some of you know, I relate to people judging their culture, not the place they were born at or the language they speak or their "race". I have no problems with Germans who left Germany after Hitler's rise to America because I see that as leaving the evil German culture as a protest against the German people's evil choice and declaration of war against the Jewish people.

But I have problems with every person who sees himself as part of the German Nazi culture.

Not true. Hamas is:

1.) Much more powerful militarily than Fatah and it was proved in 2007.
2.) I understand what you're saying but the Jews are such a cowardly, dumb (when it comes to their survival) people that they will negotiate with every enemy, the problem lies within the Jewish people's brain and not the words of their enemies.

And as a proof it's enough to see the way a huge part of the Jewish people favors negotiating with Hamas about Shalit.

Ron, you have written before that there should be a Shoah against every single person of German descent anywhere on earth. If that's not crazy I don't know what is. Most German-Americans' ancestors left Germany long before Hitler came to power, like in the 1800s and prior.

Hamas is the offspring of the PLO. You know that. Hamas came about in the late 80s/early 90s when the first generation of PLO terrorists got old, fat, and lazy and decided to murder Jews with taqqiyah instead of bullets, and to let their offspring do the jihad. Today Hamas is the military wing of the PA, Fatah is the political/governing/taqqiyah branch of it. Hamas are the young guys doing the bombings and shootings, Fatah are the leaders who have convinced Israel to negotiate with it. It's true that there are some tensions in it and sometimes they boil over (primarily Hamas wants a bigger piece of the financial pie), but they are part of the same umbrella organization, the PA, and Hamas would not exist without the PA/PLO.

Even if it isn't always wrong (I disagree), someone getting bullied is going to fight back if he has dignity and the parents encourage him, and it could be playing with fire to bully some of these "undesirables" in school, Ron.

How insane is it to think it's OK to bully and abuse a young kid for supposedly being gay. Screw compassion and understanding and perhaps trying to steer the kid towards a normal life with religious teaching and/or positive role models! Let's just bully and torment him to show him homosexuality is wrong and who cares if he kills himself because he was just a filthy homo anyways!

My last comment on this topic (I hope).

My intention was not to suggest that the bullying was appropriate or justified. It was not to cause others to curse him and his family and all those who transgress the same sexual immorality laws. I just was upset at the fact that the gay community was holding this child up as an example of how terrible those who cause shame on people who follow the gay lifestyle are. There are many good reasons people are disgusted by this (gay sex), and I will not go into whether this desire is a born trait or not, that is not the point. There are many things which are deemed inappropriate according to Jewish moral law, and not all of them are things related to choice or not. Some people have a propensity to steal, they are called kleptomaniacs and will steal the smallest item for the thrill of stealing. Does the Torah make an exception that people who 'are born' kleptomaniacs have an excuse to steal? No, absolutely not...

I am so disgusted with the 'gay agenda' which is trying to persuade the world that having male homosexual relationships are acceptable. And equally wrong is the attempt to make lesbianism hip.

But please, all readers, realize that my post was not made from hatred against the young boy. He may not have really known what was going on. He was a victim of the indoctrination of kids by the mainstream media and even some of the school systems in this country.

PS: I agree that bullying is a plague on society today. I do not condone it...

One of the reasons he was bullied was because of his religion. How would you feel if he had been Jewish? I think the biggest problem I had with what you had posted was that it seemed as if you didn't care about that kid's life because he was just some Gentile kid in Texas, but I know if he had been Jewish you would have cared about him.

In Judaism we have to be compassionate towards those who have an inclination to be gay. Bullying these types of kids or allowing it is as if he were murdered.   Ron has a point about bullying enemy invaders. However conventional wisdom tells me that you have to absolutely sure because this so called invader might be your best friend in disguise.

Who's at fault for this suicide?  Not bullies. It's the parent's fault for not encouraging self defense and the school's fault for not stepping in or guiding him to have mote dignity.

The homosexual part is irrelevant. The problem here is now fuel has been given to the activists who encourage sodomy behavior. Moral compassionate people need to step up and speak up

What bothers me the most is how a kid like that doesn't first shoot all those who've been giving him grief!

That would make a lot more sense than just shooting himself.

If he "just didn't have it in him to kill anyone", he could have given the pistol to some schwartze and said, "See those guys over there?" ..."They just said you is a N_i%66_wR!"

Some kids internalize the pain and turn it on themselves, others lash out. When the schools won't do anything to protect you and it seems like the abuse will never stop, kids can get to the point where they feel they don't have any option except suicide or killing their abusers.

I'll admit I had fantasies about burning down parts of the school building, or calling in a threat so I didn't have to go, taking a knife with me, (or jamming a knife into my own stomach) etc. but my better judgment prevailed and I never did those things. It finally got to the point where my parents took me out of public school and that was the thing that helped me to finally recover before anything irreversible happened. 

There was another kid who was being bullied to the point to where he felt desperate at the same school I went to. He finally had enough of getting physically attacked and chased by groups of kids and so he brought an (unloaded) gun to school just to scare them off and make them leave him alone.

After months and months of torment, physical and emotional abuse, he was at the breaking point and since the school wouldn't protect him, and he didn't have the strength to fight off a group of kids who would surround him and beat him up together, he finally took the only option he really had open to him to defend himself.

Of course, he was the only one who got punished. The people who tormented him for months and drove him to it, got nothing, and laughed when he was sent to juvenile hall, where he'd be around even meaner kids, still not solving the problem he had.

Massa,

You are absolutely right regarding taking a gun and shooting your enemy as opposed to sucking it up and killing yourself.  All of this talk about how gay groups are going to make this into a cause celebre, has anyone seen this on the TV?  I dont have a TV.  As some people here have said, pervasive bullying of children is an epidemic in this country.  We cannot expect kids to show the moral judgements of adults.  Every psychologist in modern history has noted the difference between adult and child/adolescent capacity to make good judgments.  Kids at 13 only feel the pain of the moment. Without hope, they believe that they will always feel despondent and beyond help. 

I used to have a friend that lived in Boston and he was called a "Kike" everyday in school and you know what his parents did---nothing.  They felt he had to learn to deal with it.  Well fortunately, he turned out to be a decent person, but it "f'ed' with his head for many years.  And he wasn't a 'normal' person for many years after the bullying.

Ok people let's clear something. There was a story posted on Friday about a faggot college student who was taped while having cyber sex with his lover - a faggot who was an active Sodomite. The guy committed suicide right after that, because he felt humiliated - and he deserved it. A guy who is merely attracted to men (and I disagree with the argument that is by nature and not a mental illness or a choice) deserves to be rebuked. But a guy who makes other men sin and thus desecrates human body and soul, commits a bestial crime against his brother is a beast that deserves a harsh punishment - and the mildest one should be humiliation for his evil deeds.

I didn't know the story was about another guy because Muman posted it 3 days after the second story was originally posted. So I take my words back because I wasn't talking about this guy (I don't know if he's really gay).

But still, f you DBF for your comparison of me and the Nazi Coon.

בס''ד

1. The death of a 13 year old child is a tragedy. Bullying a 13 year old should be unacceptable in any school.

2. If a 13 year old child feels that he has homosexual tendencies, G-d forbid, the proper reaction is to compassionately refer the child to an expert who can help him overcome this problem. The child will never be happy in this world, and will have no place in the next world, if he becomes an active homosexual, G-d forbid. Therefore, it is incumbent upon those who care for the child to try to help him overcome this difficulty. Some homosexuals can be cured. Those who cannot be cured must learn to live without homosexual sex, just as many married people feel an urge to commit adultery but they learn to avoid giving in to that evil urge.

3. Ron Ben Michael mistakenly thought that this was an active homosexual who was caught committing homosexual acts. Ron would not have written like this if he had known the details of this case. Ron is not a cruel or mindless person. He is a very kind and just human being who mistakenly thought that this was a completely different case.

Ron,

Im sorry if the story I posted was confusing. I agree that someone who did not see the story in the media might come to the conclusion that it was the same story... But in this case the child was only 13 years old, and in the other case it was a college student who may have been 18-20 years old.

As I said before... I did not post this to cause further bullying of the child. My only intent was to curse the media and gay activists who are using this story to further their agenda...

I agree with your position for the most part... And I believe Chaim did a good job of explaining your misunderstanding.

If that 18 year old had not killed himself and sought proper help afterwards to stop practicing homosexuality, I would have given a thumbs up to that.  What happened to the 18 year old was cruel despite the act in itself was immoral.

The worst part of this is that now the pro-sodomy activists are going to create a moral ground for homosexuality which is a terrible travesty.

I would have nothing against rebuking homosexuality...Physically harming someone is another story.  Verbally assaulting? Well, if he is pro=gay in your face, then he/she should be verbally assaulted and bullied verbally...

I only say that according to Biblical understanding a person is not considered a Homosexual unless there are two witnesses and the transgressor was warned against doing it... Obviously in this day and age I do not believe we should re-institute the death penalty {unless we can establish a truly righteous Sanhedrin}.

This is a difficult topic because the entire society is so far from perfect... So many people committing so many sins..

The thing those two did to clemente was far worse than the homosexual act itself. And that homosexual act even though horrible was intended for no one else to see.

1. As I said in response to a question on Ask JTF, what was done to the 18 year old was illegal and immoral. That case was also a tragedy.

2. Ron thought that this was a case of someone openly engaging in homosexual activity and openly pursuing the militant homosexual agenda. There is a big difference between that situation and the two cases which we are speaking about. People who have homosexual tendencies should be assisted compassionately to overcome their problem. But those who openly and proudly engage in acts of sodomy and demand acceptance by society do not deserve to be treated like heroes. They are spreading death and evil in the world. These individuals should be condemned.

3. Although these two suicides were tragic, why do they deserve more attention from the news media than the cold-blooded murder every year of tens of thousands of Americans by mostly black criminals? Or the violent rape of millions of American women by mostly black rapists? The "political correctness" in deciding what to place on the front page is grotesque.

Chaim,

I want to be very specific.  I am absolutely not trying to impress upon anyone that a double standard is in order--ever. This is about  about man's decency to man and the complete lack of it that is everywhere in all the things we discuss on this forum


Dr. Dan,

Thanks for the clarifying point.  I should have been clearer I was not speaking about what you wrote except in that one instance where I said your name.  I appologize for any confusion caused by my not being clear

JTFe - I realize now that perhaps my quip was not understood. 

"Spoken like a true Israeli" was not a compliment...   I'm saying the attitude reflects the bolshevik and leftist influences that permeate Israel...

Are you calling me a Nazi Communist? 

No, but I think your attitude about bullying people in school reflects the fascist-Israeli-left mindset.   And I don't mean that as a personal insult, but you should be wary that they don't influence you with their garbage and attitudes.   It can easily happen if we're not on guard always.

At the age of 10, I knew I was straight since I was attracted to girls, and I never felt it was a choice.

At that age, girls gave me cooties.

I do think that if someone is driven to suicide, no matter who they are, then they deserve compassion. Part of the reason this kid was bullied was not just the gay thing, but because his family had a different non-majority religion. If you can't see the correlation there Ron, then I can't help you.

I'm going to start ignoring you again because that last post you made to me was just so shrill and silly that I really don't think it's worth my time to explain myself to you anymore.

1. The death of a 13 year old child is a tragedy. Bullying a 13 year old should be unacceptable in any school.

2. If a 13 year old child feels that he has homosexual tendencies, G-d forbid, the proper reaction is to compassionately refer the child to an expert who can help him overcome this problem. The child will never be happy in this world, and will have no place in the next world, if he becomes an active homosexual, G-d forbid. Therefore, it is incumbent upon those who care for the child to try to help him overcome this difficulty. Some homosexuals can be cured. Those who cannot be cured must learn to live without homosexual sex, just as many married people feel an urge to commit adultery but they learn to avoid giving in to that evil urge.

3. Ron Ben Michael mistakenly thought that this was an active homosexual who was caught committing homosexual acts. Ron would not have written like this if he had known the details of this case. Ron is not a cruel or mindless person. He is a very kind and just human being who mistakenly thought that this was a completely different case.



I'm happy to see you responding to this in a relatively more compassionate manner. I'm curious to know what type of "expert" the child could be referred to to overcome this problem? If you're referring to psychologists, social workers, psychotherapists, etc., they will not view homosexuality as a mental disorder. There is nowhere in the DSM-IV that classifies homosexuality as a disorder. So then what experts do we refer them to?

I don't completely agree that a homosexual resisting engaging in homosexual sex is the same thing as a married person who is tempted to commit adultry. A heterosexual person in a marriage who is tempted to cheat is still getting some sort of pleasure from his/her spouse, but just wants and desires more. If someone is homosexual and they are in a heterosexual relationship or marriage, they are not getting any of their desires met.

On the one hand, we accuse homosexuals of leading a disgusting lifestyle. But on the other hand, if the homosexual attempts to do the right thing by marrying someone of the opposite sex and creating children and a family, it will eventually lead that person eventually having to come to terms and be honest with himself and his partner and end up getting into a divorce. At that point, we'll accuse homosexuals of breaking up the family unit. So we end up accusing them on both ends. If they follow their desires, they're leading a disgusting and immoral lifestyle. If they deny their true feelings and try to do the right thing by engaging in a heterosexual relationship which ultimately fails, we accuse them of breaking up the family unit. So then what is the solution then? A "one-day-at-a-time" approach simply curtails the behavior. But it does not stop the heart from desiring what it desires.

If a man is attracted to men and he's actually disgusted by women and not attracted to women sexually at all, I don't think it would be a good idea to encourage such a person to enter into a relationship with a woman where is he faking that he loves her.   Wouldn't it be wise for that person to stay single?

Re:  "I don't think it would be a good idea to encourage such a person to enter into a relationship with a woman where is he faking that he loves her.   Wouldn't it be wise for that person to stay single? "

NO.

Because she might have a lot of money from an inheritance or from alimony and child support payments.

And even a homo needs a wife to clean his house, cook his meals, wash his clothes, nurse him when he gets sick, and drive him to his various appointments in his schedule book.

And in a normal Jewish marriage, the wife stops having sex immediately after the honeymoon is finished, which causes all kinds of problem with normal male "needs".

Much better if such a shrew has a "gay" husband, because then she won't always be pressured to "give it up", and he won't even care about having sex with her anyway.

And it is well known that a married Jewish couple is headed for trouble every time the wife's mother is around because all she is going to do is psychologically berate and emasculate her son-in-law and treat him like he's "half a man" and "not good enough for her daughter"!

By being a queer to start with, he's already "half a man" and he's always known that "he's not good enough" to please his Mother-in-law, so his Mother-in-law won't have any effect on him and won't be able to create friction in the marriage!

So, in other words, a queer has a much better chance to find true Jewish marital bliss!

;D

Oh Daniel you silly goose. It's not about encouraging a homosexual to pretend to ne heterosexual or forcing him into a fake marriage. The desire or the urge of a man to be with the another man isn't the problem. To make a homo into a hetero is up to the homosexual if he chooses and is capable of it. It's the behavior of a man lying with another man which is the problem and that alone should first be discouraged. Not the homosexual feeling.

And I disagree the desire for men wanting sex out of marriage or to be with lots if women is the same sin with similar ramifications.

Sex outside of marriage is a sin hetero or homo.

Homosexuals have a special situation because they may have to end up with nobody. They deserve extra compassion and bullying one who has been celibate one is like putting a stumbling block in front of a blind person.

Why shouldn't they stay single? 

You know there are men who never get married because they never find a wife or for other reasons, right?   And are they celibate all their lives?    Do they not struggle with urges as a single, sexually healthy, heterosexual man?    They sure do.  And I'm sure they don't succeed and pass every test.

But when the same-sex attracted man decides to live-in with his "partner" in a so-called "marriage" arrangement because he just can't live a life without unlimited sexual gratification at his every whim, he has basically given up the struggle and said that it doesn't matter what G-d says.

"The only viable solution that I see is for us to ask ourselves how the behavior of what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom affect my quality of life?"

They are prohibited from that behavior by G-d - It doesn't affect my quality of life but theirs!   Why should the degree to which it affects my quality of life be relevant to this discussion.

In Judaism this behavior is a sin.  Period.   It seems that you're coming from a place where you don't care what Judaism says.  So there is no way to have a commensurable conversation.   However, the Jewish community functions with adherence to our peculiar Jewish religion.

The phony reform "streams" have also decided it doesn't matter what G-d says (or they decided that G-d didn't say anything or that G-d doesn't exist) and they of course will sanction and allow any behavior if it is democratically popular enough.

Yes, and these single heterosexual men have sexual relations in their lives as well. Now, I'm sure you would consider this to be a sin, but my question is do you consider heterosexual sex outside of a marriage to be just as egregious as homosexual sex? If not, why so? Also, while we're on this topic, do you consider heterosexual oral and anal sex to be just as big of a sin as homosexual sex?

"But when the same-sex attracted man decides to live-in with his "partner" in a so-called "marriage" arrangement because he just can't live a life without unlimited sexual gratification at his every whim, he has basically given up the struggle and said that it doesn't matter what G-d says."

It sounds to me like you're promoting the false stereotype about gays in that their entire livelihoods revolve around sex. Nothing could be further from the truth. They're human beings just like us where sex only plays one part of their lives just like heterosexuals. Please forgive me if this is not what you said and if I misunderstood. But if I did understand you correctly, then you are absolutely wrong in this assertion!

"They are prohibited from that behavior by G-d - It doesn't affect my quality of life but theirs!"

Fine. Then let G-d be the judge and not us.

Because if something doesn't affect us personally and isn't doing harm to anyone else, then we should just live and let live and let G-d take care of the rest.

This just proves the point of Sam Harris that G-d and religion are conversation stoppers. It doesn't matter what the rational merits and reasons of an argument or issue. If G-d says it, then there's no debate. It's the end of the conversation. Plain and simple. Such absolutistic dogma to live by! I, for one, don't believe that things in life are that simple. But that's a whole other issue for another discussion.

Sure! Why not? I need to get a hard slap on my left butt cheek by your right hand  ;D


Are you trying to act gay here?



No, my point in the joke was that I'm sitting too far on the left and I have to be smacked back into shape by the right.

"You know there are men who never get married because they never find a wife or for other reasons, right?   And are they celibate all their lives?    Do they not struggle with urges as a single, sexually healthy, heterosexual man?    They sure do.  And I'm sure they don't succeed and pass every test."

Yes, and these single heterosexual men have sexual relations in their lives as well.  

Some do and some don't.   But I JUST IMPLIED THAT!   (or that they do other things while alone).

I said:  
Quote

Keep in mind, I'm referring to pious people that actually think they need to be married in order to have sexual relations with a wife.   They will struggle with this challenge their whole life.  People who don't think it's a problem or a sin or forbidden will act on their desires and don't struggle with anything except that they did not find a spouse to make a family with.

Quote
Now, I'm sure you would consider this to be a sin, but my question is do you consider heterosexual sex outside of a marriage to be just as egregious as homosexual sex?

It is a sin.   It's not for me to judge what sins are worse than other sins.   All sins are supposed to be avoided and people are supposed to be discouraged from doing them.    However, it is a fact that G-d called homosexual sex an abomination.   Sorry if that bothers you, but that's the fact.  

That doesn't mean I'm going to encourage a single man to have sexual relations outside of marriage!   In fact, I implied the exact opposite with what I quoted above.

Quote
If not, why so? Also, while we're on this topic, do you consider heterosexual oral and anal sex to be just as big of a sin as homosexual sex?  

With a wife?  NO!    It's not a sin at all from what I understand.   (I'm admittedly not an expert in this area of Torah, but I remember reading that the Talmud and/or the Rambam permit multiple kinds of relations with one's wife).


Quote
"But when the same-sex attracted man decides to live-in with his "partner" in a so-called "marriage" arrangement because he just can't live a life without unlimited sexual gratification at his every whim, he has basically given up the struggle and said that it doesn't matter what G-d says."

It sounds to me like you're promoting the false stereotype about gays in that their entire livelihoods revolve around sex.  

Excuse me, but you were the one who promoted that because you implied that I was an evil dictator for suggesting that homosexual men stay single.    Can I ask you again to explain to me why that's a "wrong" suggestion?  

Quote
Nothing could be further from the truth. They're human beings just like us  

Oh, put a sock in it with this ridiculous propaganda, I know they are humans and never suggested otherwise, this leftist zombie rhetoric you employ is incredibly irritating.

Ok, you're forgiven because you did misunderstand.

Fine. Then let G-d be the judge and not us.

Indeed, but it is a sin for us to promote their behavior or tell them it is ok when it isn't!   And THAT does affect us.

Quote
then we should just live and let live and let G-d take care of the rest.

There's a logic to this which I agree with.    Live and let live does not mean sanctioning unions of homosexual "partners" where the intention is to live together and have sex with one another in a loving relationship or putting female rabbis in kippas to sanction it.   (And that's what marriage does entail!)   It would mean staying the hell out of it.

Judaism is not an "absolutistic dogma" but an obvious issues like this where G-d quite plainly says certain things are forbidden, there really can't be an argument about it.   It doesn't mean "things in life are that simple" (that's a quite general statement) and there can be many difficult and complicating circumstances surrounding that prohibition.   But nonetheless the prohibition exists, difficult or complicated as circumstances might be and we have to bear that in mind despite whatever obstacles...

My addition to this argument is this...

http://www.mechon-mamre.org/jewfaq/sex.htm

Quote
Attitude Towards Sexuality

In Jewish law, sex is not considered inherently shameful, sinful, or obscene.  Sex is not seen as a necessary evil for the sole purpose of procreation.  Although sexual desire comes from the yetzer hara (the so-called "evil impulse"), it is no more evil than hunger or thirst, which also come from the yetzer hara.  Like hunger, thirst, or other basic needs, sexual desire must be controlled, channeled, and satisfied in the proper time, place, and manner.  But when sexual desire is satisfied between a husband and wife at the proper time and out of mutual love and desire, sexual relations are actually a mitzvah (a Biblical commandment, see Exodus 21,10 referring to "conjugal rights" and the commentary on it).

Sexual enjoyment (whether involving intercourse or mere hand holding) is permissible for Jews only within the context of marriage.  For Torah, sex is not merely a way of experiencing physical pleasure.  It is properly an act of immense significance, which requires commitment and responsibility.  The requirement of marriage before sex ensures that sense of commitment and responsibility.  The Torah forbids all sexual contact short of intercourse outside of the context of marriage, recognizing that such contact is likely lead to intercourse and is damaging in and of itself.  Jews are rabbinically forbidden to even engage in sexual fantasy, let alone masturbation alone or mutual masturbation outside of marriage.

The primary purpose of sexual relations is to reinforce the loving marital bond between husband and wife.  The first and foremost purpose of marriage is intimate long-term companionship (not just bearing children in a family context), and sexual relations play an important role in that.  Procreation is also a reason for sex, but it is not the only reason; after a woman is no longer able to bear children, she is still expected to have an active sex life, just as during her child-bearing years (the idea that old folks should not or do not have sexual relations is an alien one in a Torah context).  Sex between husband and wife is also recommended (and even required) at other times when conception is impossible, such as when the woman is pregnant or when the woman is using a permissible form of contraception.  Kosher sexual relations are not necessarily limited to those that can lead to pregnancy, either:  anal and oral relations are permitted, if enjoyable to both marital partners, though Jewish men have a separate commandment to reproduce, and should generally end up having normal vaginal intercourse.

In the Written Torah, one of the words used for sex between husband and wife comes from the root Yod-Dalet-Ayin, meaning to know, which vividly illustrates that proper Jewish sexuality involves both the heart and mind, not merely the body.  (The English expression "sexual knowledge" seems to be derived from this Biblical idea, but generally has a negative connotation lacking in the Hebrew.)

Nevertheless, Torah does not ignore the physical component of sexuality.  The need for physical compatibility between husband and wife is recognized in Jewish law.  A Jewish couple must meet at least once before the marriage, and if either prospective spouse finds the other physically unattractive, they should not marry.

Sexual relations should only be experienced in a time of joy.  Sex for selfish personal satisfaction, without regard for the partner's pleasure, is wrong and evil.  A man may never force his wife to have sex.  A couple may not have sexual relations while drunk or quarreling.  Sex may never be used as a weapon against a spouse, either by depriving the spouse of sex or by compelling it.  It is a serious offense to use sex (or lack thereof) to punish or manipulate a spouse.

Sex is the woman's right, not the man's.  A man has a duty to give his wife sex regularly and to ensure that sex is pleasurable for her.  He is also obligated to watch for signs that his wife wants sex, and to offer it to her without her asking for it.  The woman's right to sexual intercourse is referred to as onah, and is one of a wife's three basic rights (the others are food and clothing), which a husband may not reduce.  The Talmud specifies both the quantity and quality of sex that a man must give his wife.  It specifies the frequency of sexual obligation based on the husband's occupation, although this obligation can be modified in the ketubah (marriage contract).  A man may not take a vow to abstain from sex for an extended period of time, and may not take a journey for an extended period of time, because that would deprive his wife of sexual relations.  In addition, a husband's consistent refusal to engage in sexual relations is grounds for compelling a man to divorce his wife, even if the couple has already fulfilled the halakhic obligation to procreate.

Although sex is the woman's right, she does not have absolute discretion to withhold it from her husband.  A woman may not withhold sex from her husband as a form of punishment, and if she does, the husband may divorce her without paying the substantial divorce settlement provided for in the ketubah.

Although some sources take a more narrow view, the general view of halakhah is that any sexual conduct that does not regularly involve ejaculation outside the vagina is permissible.  As one passage in the Talmud states, "a man may do whatever he pleases with his wife".  In fact, there are passages in the Talmud that encourage foreplay to arouse the woman, and oral and anal sex are permitted (though not necessarily desirable), if they are not to the exclusion of vaginal sex.

Excuse me, but you were the one who promoted that because you implied that I was an evil dictator for suggesting that homosexual men stay single.    Can I ask you again to explain to me why that's a "wrong" suggestion?  

I never called you an evil dictator. I just simply stated that you're suggesting that homosexuals remain single and celebate for the rest of their lives. If they choose to do this by their own volition, that's fine. But none of us have the right to tell anyone else that they don't have the right to love and to be with someone in a mutually consenting relationship.

Re:  "What is the sin here? The homosexuality or the bullying that led to his suicide? "

The sin lies in the fact that the boy shot himself instead of shooting the bullies!

He murdered the victim!

All he needed to do was shoot the bullies in their kneecaps and shoulder joints [maybe even a few well placed rounds right in the fracas  ;D  ].

Then, he would have had every homosexual lobby activist lawyer lining up to defend him in court before some dyke feminist judge, and he would not only have been found not guilty by reason of self defense and extenuating circumstances, but would by now have been the most important celebrity of the month in all the media ... guest starring on Okra's show ... giving interviews on CNN!

He'd have been forwarded a huge advance on a book publishing deal, complete with a professional ghost writer who would have 'retold' the events surrounding the shooting.

Amazon and Borders wouldn't have been able to keep up with the public's demand for the hottest selling new book ever written  -

JUST A QUEER!
The true story of AN AMERICAN HERO who struck a blow to end oppression !
 

This month every mixed-up kid in the U.S. and Canada would have been wearing T-shirts with the kid's image on it.

By next month he'd have been touring all over the world and hailed as "The young man with the courage to end Racism!"

And by next year the failed hero would have been asked to Host the new Prime Time Television Show "America's Got Homos!"

NOW YOU KNOW WHY HE'S GUILTY OF SIN!

He ... could have ... been ........ A CONTENDER !     :'(

So now I just don't understand what your complaint against religion is.

The fact that Judaism does not retract its morality in cases where people are too sensitive to hear that their actions are immoral or wrong?   Is that it?     The fact is, homosexual act is wrong.  I get that you're not a believer, but facts are facts about what the religion says.    That does not mean that anything can then be done to a person determined to be gay because he's doing something wrong at some times in his life.   Judaism (I can't speak for other religions) has an accompanying legal system.  Anyone acting on their philosophy - even proper Jewish philosophy - but doing so outside of that legal system is transgressing.  The halacha governs in what ways it is appropriate to act out Jewish belief.   So what's the big problem?     You agree that a rabbi should not be sanctioning "marriages" between gays given the rabbi's job to uphold Jewish principles.    I'm kind of lost now as to what you are saying.   Bullying is wrong?  Yeah, I agree.

BT-man, the entire topic of this thread is based on the 13 year old kid that committed suicide. I have no idea where you got gay marriage from. I guess we must have been talking past each other. I'm only discussing how what two consenting people do in their own bedrooms in their own business, period. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, I'm not ascribing anything to you. Any views that I'm expressing is not aimed at you personally, but towards the general public. The fact that I happen to be replying to your messages doesn't mean that I'm arguing with you personally as would be the same as if I was replying to someone else's comment in kind. So I hope we have that straightened out.

I have no idea why you're calling this rhetoric. I'm not citing any type of liberal text. I'm merely expressing my own individual ideas. It only sounds like rhetoric to you because you disagree with it. To me, what you're saying sounds like rhetoric. But I know you're just expressing your individual views based on what you believe is right. So enough with accusing me of engaging in rhetoric. I am doing no such thing!

BTW, what do you mean by "argue against straw-men"? I have never heard of that expression.

Daniel,

I gather from your opinion that you are a sodomite. Not because you actually engage in the abominable behavior itself, but because of your 'what goes on behind closed doors' attitude.

From the Jewish book of Wisdom called Pirkie Avot:

Quote
http://www.shechem.org/torah/avot.html
Chapter 5 Mishnah 13

13. There are four types among men:

He who says, "What is mine is mine and what is yours is yours"--this is the common type, though some say that this is the type of Sodom.

He who says, "What is mine is yours and what is yours is mine"--he is an ignorant man.

He who says, "What is mine is yours and what is yours is thine own"--he is a saintly man.

And he who says, "What is yours is mine, and what is mine is mine"--he is a wicked man.

Because you turn your eye away from the evil which is going on 'behind closed doors' you are saying "What is yours is yours", so long as I don't see it.

But because of this attitude Sodom was destroyed, not just because of the abomination itself. The people became cruel and turned their backs on the sins which others did. It actually became acceptable to do things which were cruel.

I hope that there are not many Sodomites out there who want to return to the wicked world which existed before the destruction of Sdom.

A Jew is supposed to rebuke the sinner, and hope that he does Teshuva and attempts to control his inclinations.

A man who can restrain his inclinations is considered a 'strong man' or a Gebor in hebrew according to the same book of Wisdom..

1. Ben Zoma said: Who is wise? He who learns from all men, as it is written (Psalm 119:99) "I have gained understanding from all my teachers."

Who is mighty? He who subdues his passions, as it is written (Proverbs 16:32) "One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city."

Who is rich? He who rejoices in his portion, as it is written (Psalm 128:2) "You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you." "You shall be" refers to this world; and "it shall be well with you" refers to the world to come.

Who is honored? He that honors his fellow men as it is written (I Samuel 2:30) "For those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be treated with contempt."

Well, you might like to call me a sodomite. I like to consider myself a humanist :)

I'm thinking of bearing my soul and confessing everything in another post. But being that it's close to shabbos, I'll save that for another time. I've gotta get ready to attend the Shabbat Unplugged services at Shaaray Tefilah in the city where a full band will be playing along with the service. Ooh, yes, I know, how blasphemous! But I find them the most awesome services in the world and that's what provides meaning and spirituality to me :)

Good shabbos everyone!

Actually, whether I see it or not, I wouldn't consider it to be any less evil. But I'd rather not see it just because it's my own personal preference. (Well, when it comes to men anyway, if it were women, well, I won't even go there ;)

I personally don't see anything "cruel" in two people expressing their love for each other. I do think that it's cruel to bully, persecute, and condemn people for doing this.

On this forum, I get the sense that everyone is merely speaking out against homosexuality. Although I personally disagree with the attitudes, I wholeheartedly agree that you all have the right to say whatever you want about it. I will never tell you that you can't say that. But for anybody who engages in actual behavior of bullying or engaging in violence against a homosexual, I will personally want to do everything I can to beat the crap outa that person. Also, if anybody tries to legislate anything that is discriminatory against gays, then I will wholeheartedly fight against it. But if all you're doing is speaking out against that, I completely defend your right to say it whether I agree with it or not.

Why do you call this Shabbos? Don't you know what Shabbos means?

Sounds like a Friday night concert... Probably with mixed seating, and of course non-kosher food, and using electricity...

So basically why would you call it Shabbos? You must either not know that it is forbidden to do all those things or you do know yet you do it anyway. So your Jewishness is not important to you, because you violate and yet feel it is ok to violate the very Torah you hold up as holy... Im sorry, I feel very sorry for you.. What is sad is that you only will do those things which make sense to you, because of selfish reasons, not because it is what Hashem wants from us, to be servants of Hashem, to be a Holy nation... Not just because a mitzvah makes sense to you.... Yes, indeed you exhibit sodomite tendencies..

Daniel,

I am one who believes that we should not oppress others because of their failures. A Jewish outlook is that we all have a desire to do good in the eyes of Hashem, and we all should WANT to do teshuva. I will rebuke others because Hashem told us to rebuke our brother, lest we be guilty of their sin. I hope you realize that nobody here is suggesting that homosexuals be treated unfairly. As long as these people truly feel regret for their desires. Just like a drug addict who desires another fix, he knows it is wrong, wrong physically and wrong spiritually, so too any sinner should have regret for his transgression.

Hashem is a most forgiving and will wait a LONG LONG time for a sinner to repent and do teshuva. One of Hashems names is LONG SUFFERING, meaning he will even allow himself to be desecrated in the hopes that the sinner will regret his evil ways. I too try to be LONG SUFFERING, as Hashem is, in my patients for those who transgress. I believe that most people are truly good in their hearts, and only sin out of foolishness or out of ignorance.

I do not belittle what little observance you have... But please make it a goal to become more observant as you grow..

Good Shabbos Noach to you...

Your definition of Shabbos and Judaism and Jewishness is very different from mine and many other Jews for that matter. I've got news for you. The orthodox do not have a monopoly on Judaism, and Torah Judaism is not the only valid form of Judaism. If you want to see things that way, that's fine. But I don't need to abide by what you think is right or what you say G-d says is right. It doesn't make me any less of a Jew. You might call it sodomite tendencies. I call it being enlightened and humanistic. I suppose it's the same difference for all intents and purposes.

This is only about Torah Judaism... You are expressing the view that the Torah is not divine, that it is up to the majority opinion of the shul to decide what is right and wrong. This is not Judaism as it has existed for 3000 years, reform judaism is an invention of the liberals who rebelled.

You cannot just wake up one day and say that the wisdom of the Jewish people from Moses was all wrong and now you invent a new religion. Are you Jewish ? Do you believe in the Torah?

You are proving what we have said all along about the reform movement. It makes things up and doesn't follow the Jewish laws. These are not Orthodox Jewish laws, they are JEWISH LAWS which existed long before REFORM or ORTHODOX. This is the Judaism which our forefathers practiced from the diaspora.

And sure, you have free will... But you will some day regret the rebellion which you are expressing here. I know from experience..

Its a shame the boy killed himself.  Children need to be taught there are many consequences from sin.

What is the sin here? The homosexuality or the bullying that led to his suicide?

We don't know if this boy was a homosexual, but even if he was, bullying him was a huuuuuge sin.  If he was a homosexual, perhaps he could change in at least not doing homosexual behavior.  Therefore, to me, it's a lesser sin.  Suicide is a terrible sin, with a few exceptions, homosexual or non homosexual.

No need to reply to this, Daniel, but it sounds like you might be a homosexual or know someone close to you who is one.  If this is true, we are not here to force you to do anything. You have free will.  However, if you are doing it, we recommend that you don't and that it is inappropriate.  And if there is anything else we can do to help we will try and help.

And if I am way off, I apologize sincerely...

Most of us are aware that you are a liberal and that mistakingly voted for Obama.


No, what I'm saying is that by boiling things down to whether something is right or wrong by stating that, "Well, it's wrong because G-d said so" is simplifying things.   
   To exclude religion from the question of morality is simplifying things in a detrimental way.

Quote
I say this because I strongly believe that many things that we claim that G-d says is wrong was simply made up by humans and then they put these words into the mouth of G-d in order to try to control people's behavior. 

Then, that's not "simplifying things" to claim G-d calls something wrong, it's actually a fraudulent lie according to this belief.   Of course, I think your belief is wrong and have no reason to think it's right.

Quote
I know that this might be a very blasphemous thing to state on this forum. But it's honestly what I believe.

I gathered that you believe that, and that was why early in the discussion I had said "In Judaism this behavior is a sin.  Period.   It seems that you're coming from a place where you don't care what Judaism says.  So there is no way to have a commensurable conversation.   However, the Jewish community functions with adherence to our peculiar Jewish religion."

At the time, I had thought we were discussing gay "marriage."

In any case, there is actually something I'd like to ask based on your above belief which can actually result in a commensurable conversation about a different subject.    Namely, do you think that the author (or whoever you think wrote it) of the Torah was intelligent?

But I won't be surprised in the least if I ever am.

I dunno. Perhaps you're right. I just sometimes think that if I were to reveal the entire truth about who I am, what I believe, and how I behave, that I would not be tolerated on this forum. But that hasn't happened yet. I wonder if I should completely reveal everything about myself and see what happens. What I can basically say here is that I love Israel and am currently against the peace process. That's one thing that we can all be in agreement about. But aside from this, I'm on the opposite end of many other issues.

To Daniel:

Daniel,
It's OK by me that you are whatever you say you are.
I don't necessarily agree with it, but in the long run only you can make the decisions and choices.
So, that out of the way, I am curious to know why it is that you don't simply "convert" and renounce Judaism for another belief system more accepting of your beliefs and lifestyle?
As far as "fitting in" with the majority religion in the West, it seems like you should just go be baptized and never have to live in a different mindset than the majority population.  Is it because you are still carrying around some "Jewish baggage" instinctively telling you that worshipping a man as G-d is idolatry?  Or is it that you can not accept the literal understanding of Torah, preferring to view it as a nice book of poetry, parables, and allegories to help man to live?  It appears to me that any Jew "clinging" to Jewish identity, while otherwise living as a strict secular Jew - rejecting all but a semblance of Jewish belief, has something deep within his subconscious mind which won't allow him to go all the way and 'cut the string" tethering him to a truly miraculous history and intellectual theology.  Without Torah Judaism, there would today be no Christianity, no Islam, nor any of its dozen or so offshoots such as B'hai.  By logical extension it stands to reason that ALL of Western Christendom and ALL countries with a Muslim majority owe their entire development and cultures to the Torah and Jews, without which they would not exist.
I look forward to your honest responses, and assure you that I will not condemn you or insist you see things just one way.

The voice of logic and reason is not being so rational right now.

It's okay, Dr. Dan, I will respond. I already stated that I am straight ally. I don't know what gives you the idea that anything I say suggests that I might be a homosexual. If anything, it is those of you who make anti-gay remarks that suggest that it is you posters who might be gay since homophobia and gay bashing is often the result of insecurity of one's own sexuality. So don't worry, I won't engage in any homosexual behavior, but not because you or anyone else on here says that it's inappropriate. It's simply because I am straight and don't have homosexual desires. I am straight not by my own choice. I am straight not because that's how my parents raised me. I am straight because that's how nature made me! If I did have homosexual desires, believe me, I would engage in them and wouldn't give a damn about what any of you have to say about it.

I do happen to know gay people who are close to me and know what great and gentle people they are and know the extreme hardships that they need to go through in life as a result of how society condemns them for making this "choice" as if it would be a choice to be mocked, bullied, and condemned! I also have a former friend who was the biggest hateful homophobe I have ever met in my entire life. I saw what kind of a vicious hateful [censored] he became, not just as a result of being a homophobe, but just was a really mean spirited vicious person and his homophobia was just one manifestation of his personality. When I first met him, he was one of the most gentle and friendly person I ever met. It was only as he went through the baal t'shuvah process that he really changed and became the biggest racist, bigot, homophobe, and just the most mean spirited jerk I have ever confronted in my entire life. It's just so unfortunate that I see many of the same expressions coming from many of the posters on here.

I can say the same to you that you might be gay or know someone gay who is close to you. If either is the case, I urge you not to beat up on your gay friend since THAT would not be appropriate.

I find your remarks to be extremely chutzpadik with you assuming I'm gay as well as saying I "mistakenly" voted for Obama. That's your opinion. Don't get facts and opinions confused because THAT is a mistake. I'm not offended by you suspecting that I'm gay, but I'm offending because of the reason you think I'm gay. Trust me, anyone like me who has no problem with gays and abhors homophobia is secure in their sexuality. It is only those who hate gays that are the ones that are probably gay themselves.

You present yourself as being supportive. But in reality, it's a bit condescending, and I do expect better from you, Dr. Dan.

No need to reply to this, Daniel, but it sounds like you might be a homosexual or know someone close to you who is one.  If this is true, we are not here to force you to do anything.

  Again anecdotal and I await evidence for this type of claim if you have any for it.

With this last statement, it almost sounds like you suddenly are intimating that this is an insult to them if they are "actually gay" themselves.    I mean, "a homophobe" is a slight against someone... does the slight get any worse if that "homophobe" has gay attraction he is hiding or keeping secret etc?

As I read many of the remarks on here, for the first time, I realize how much pity I feel for all of you. What must it be like to have so much hatred and intolerance in your hearts. I no longer feel bad about being attacked for my views. I truly feel bad for all of you who espouse these views and who exhibit these feelings. I think that deep down inside, many of you know that you are largely responsible for Tyler Clementi's death and are responsible for the increasing amount of anti-gay violence that is taking place today. While none of you may be engaging first hand in any type of anti-gay violence, it is your expression that gives cover to the people that actually commit these violent acts. The same way that liberal religious moderates give cover to relgious extremists, it is people like you that give cover to those that physically attack gays.

On Friday night, I felt physically sick from some of your remarks. But then as I attended the Shabbat Unplugged service, the rabbi gave a very impassioned speech expressing how devestated and angry he is about all the taunting, teasing, and threats of violence that led to Tyler Clementi's death. He then read the letter that Rabbi Andy Bachman wrote to his community. It made me feel very proud to be a Jew. It reminded me that Judaism is not this intolerant Nazi-like creed that so many of you make Judaism appear. Most Jews are extremely tolerant, and kindhearted and abhor the very views that many of you espouse. In your attempts to become "good Jews", you have allowed yourself to become less humane and much less good human beings. That's not what Judaism is about. Torah is not terror and Judaism is not a Nazi-cult!

After the service, I approached the rabbi and commended him on his speech and asked for a transcript which he immediately handed me. I then asked him how we are supposed to respond to the orthodox who state that the torah says that homosexuality is an abomination. He stated that it really might not be possible to respond to the orthodox since the orthodox believe that the torah is the direct word from G-d and how they don't view the torah as written by our ancestors who meant well when they wrote the bible, but that noteverything was perfect. So there really is no way of having any type of open debate and discussion about this when everything is viewed out of this narrow lens.

There was one poster on here that was asking me why I hold onto my Judaism as though I am not truly being Jewish unless I espouse the same opinions and values as those posters on here. You will have to ask this same question to hundreds and thousands of Jews who think and believe the same way as me. I don't need to leave Judaism just because I don't agree with your viewpoints. Whenever I feel ashamed and embarrassed by seing so many of your viewpoints on here, I then meet Jews who express Judaism in a much better light, and then feel extremely proud to be a Jew.

I would like to post this speech on here. I only ask that many of you will end up tearing it apart. I only ask you to initially read it through with an open mind and at least consider the alternate view on this issue, especially since there is a rabbi who backs up his responses through quoting from the Torah.

I always find this tactic very cowardly whenever I see it on the forum.   Some people insist on throwing out generalizations against "the forum" or "some of you" or "many of you" instead of actually challenging people by quoting their own statements and showing how you disagree or actually challenging individual people to real debate.     What you are doing is extremely cowardly.  You are painting a broad brush stroke here, and it's dishonest.  This allows you to accuse without actually showing what it's based on.   Why don't you call out specific people if you think they make Judaism look "nazi-like" and explain in what way they do, instead of launching this disgusting (unjustified) invective against people here.     Your reform friend with his guitar taught you should call religious Jews nazis because they disagree with your views?   Did he say you should accuse people of crimes they didn't commit and have nothing to do with and blame them as scapegoats for society's problems?    What a tolerant shmuck such a person must be...

Oh, what a blatant hypocrisy.   They "MEANT WELL?"     What a lying fraud being perpetrated by his comment, which underlies the failure of reformist religion.   You and I both know that if "our ancestors" wrote that text, they did not MEAN WELL, they meant for homosexuals to be put in their place by being told their behavior is morally wrong and an ABOMINATION (even if you don't think G-d wrote it, that was the word used!) which of course is the most grave and disgusting offense in the religion of reformism against the political-correctness-deity.   In fact, it is the same offense you are lambasting the JTF members for "committing" .   So our ancestors meant well, but we the orthodox don't mean well?!    According to the view of you and your so-called rabbi, our ancestors were blatant bigots and "caused the death of Tyler Clementi [with their hateful, racist text]."   If you try to assert otherwise, you are deceiving yourself and deceiving us.

What a crock!

Your type of destruction of the Jewish people is 100X worse than the destruction caused by our mortal enemies. You are trying to destroy the soul of the Jewish people, the enemies are just tying to kill our bodies. Reform is a disease on the jewish nation and has lead to more Jewish destruction than the Holocaust. But you are too blind to see this because you want to have electric rock concerts on Shabbat.

Post by: Dr. Dan on October 11, 2010, 03:53:54 AM
No I'm very straight and married. I do not hate gay people and no I have never hurt any of them or beat them up or hurt their feelings.  The ones I have met and known are very gentle people. I would never sanction physically or mentally hurting a person like that.  How dare you assume that I ever did? You did vote for Obama. And in your most recent posts sanction evil behavior. Shame on you for your stupid condescending ignorant response to me. I never supported the things you listed except for my religious feelings that homosexual behavior is a sin and that I would discourage that behavior. You put words in my mouth like I'm a gay basher. There is a poster on this forum who can vouch for me who knows me better than that. Daniel, you are sick to say the things you posted here about me.

You defend practicing gays as if you were one of them yourself. I asked to make sure so I can understand where you are coming from. Not to put you down if it were true. You do react like a practicing gay however with your militant belittling of moral behavior with your so called humanist Gdless religion.


The voice of logic and reason is not being so rational right now.

It's okay, Dr. Dan, I will respond. I already stated that I am straight ally. I don't know what gives you the idea that anything I say suggests that I might be a homosexual. If anything, it is those of you who make anti-gay remarks that suggest that it is you posters who might be gay since homophobia and gay bashing is often the result of insecurity of one's own sexuality. So don't worry, I won't engage in any homosexual behavior, but not because you or anyone else on here says that it's inappropriate. It's simply because I am straight and don't have homosexual desires. I am straight not by my own choice. I am straight not because that's how my parents raised me. I am straight because that's how nature made me! If I did have homosexual desires, believe me, I would engage in them and wouldn't give a damn about what any of you have to say about it.

I do happen to know gay people who are close to me and know what great and gentle people they are and know the extreme hardships that they need to go through in life as a result of how society condemns them for making this "choice" as if it would be a choice to be mocked, bullied, and condemned! I also have a former friend who was the biggest hateful homophobe I have ever met in my entire life. I saw what kind of a vicious hateful moron he became, not just as a result of being a homophobe, but just was a really mean spirited vicious person and his homophobia was just one manifestation of his personality. When I first met him, he was one of the most gentle and friendly person I ever met. It was only as he went through the baal t'shuvah process that he really changed and became the biggest racist, bigot, homophobe, and just the most mean spirited jerk I have ever confronted in my entire life. It's just so unfortunate that I see many of the same expressions coming from many of the posters on here.

I can say the same to you that you might be gay or know someone gay who is close to you. If either is the case, I urge you not to beat up on your gay friend since THAT would not be appropriate.

I find your remarks to be extremely chutzpadik with you assuming I'm gay as well as saying I "mistakenly" voted for Obama. That's your opinion. Don't get facts and opinions confused because THAT is a mistake. I'm not offended by you suspecting that I'm gay, but I'm offending because of the reason you think I'm gay. Trust me, anyone like me who has no problem with gays and abhors homophobia is secure in their sexuality. It is only those who hate gays that are the ones that are probably gay themselves.

You present yourself as being supportive. But in reality, it's a bit condescending, and I do expect better from you, Dr. Dan.

No need to reply to this, Daniel, but it sounds like you might be a homosexual or know someone close to you who is one.  If this is true, we are not here to force you to do anything. You have free will.  However, if you are doing it, we recommend that you don't and that it is inappropriate.  And if there is anything else we can do to help we will try and help.

And if I am way off, I apologize sincerely...

Most of us are aware that you are a liberal and that mistakingly voted for Obama.


No, what I'm saying is that by boiling things down to whether something is right or wrong by stating that, "Well, it's wrong because G-d said so" is simplifying things.   
   To exclude religion from the question of morality is simplifying things in a detrimental way.

Quote
I say this because I strongly believe that many things that we claim that G-d says is wrong was simply made up by humans and then they put these words into the mouth of G-d in order to try to control people's behavior. 

Then, that's not "simplifying things" to claim G-d calls something wrong, it's actually a fraudulent lie according to this belief.   Of course, I think your belief is wrong and have no reason to think it's right.

Quote
I know that this might be a very blasphemous thing to state on this forum. But it's honestly what I believe.

I gathered that you believe that, and that was why early in the discussion I had said "In Judaism this behavior is a sin.  Period.   It seems that you're coming from a place where you don't care what Judaism says.  So there is no way to have a commensurable conversation.   However, the Jewish community functions with adherence to our peculiar Jewish religion."

At the time, I had thought we were discussing gay "marriage."

In any case, there is actually something I'd like to ask based on your above belief which can actually result in a commensurable conversation about a different subject.    Namely, do you think that the author (or whoever you think wrote it) of the Torah was intelligent?

Quote
And hey, I haven't been banned yet for expressing these beliefs.
  I don't think you're going to be.  Is there a reason you should?
Quote
But I won't be surprised in the least if I ever am.
   Really?  Why?


I dunno. Perhaps you're right. I just sometimes think that if I were to reveal the entire truth about who I am, what I believe, and how I behave, that I would not be tolerated on this forum. But that hasn't happened yet. I wonder if I should completely reveal everything about myself and see what happens. What I can basically say here is that I love Israel and am currently against the peace process. That's one thing that we can all be in agreement about. But aside from this, I'm on the opposite end of many other issues.

This honestly is a horrible issue to talk about at this point in time... No matter how it's looked at most people can't help but to feel bad for the poor kid that took his own life... As MassuhD said jokingly in one of his posts if he would have done the normal thing and took out his two tormentors he would be have been far better off in the long run... In the past week or so the media has dug up and latched on to every gay bashing story they can get their grips on.... It's now become an issue...Most of the stories are sad ... They deal with mixed up kids who are at an age where its hard to deal with a social situation where they don't fit in and then have to deal with the added hardship of being tormented in some cases hurt and killed... The picture here is a hard one to speak out against without seeming heartless and extreme... I have debated with Daniel in the past on different threads and at first I said to myself this is one crazy radical liberal but over time I saw that he is what I call a liberal with compassion... Daniel really wants to make the world a better place where everyone can be happy... The sad fact is however the world is not setup to be like that and try as liberals with compassion might try it never will be...My problem is not with liberals with compassion its with radical liberalism that takes on issues like gay marriage, activist gay agenda, work place affirmative action, revolving door justice and wealth redistribution all things that are destroying our society... What people do behind a closed door is really not a world changing problem when we look at the bigger picture... It's important for a religious movement like ours to be on record that we favor a correct path in life however its also important to show we also have some compassion for people who have fallen astray...

No, he was called a sodomite because he holds the belief "What happens behind closed doors is none of my business"...

My turn to jump in here.

First off, JTF Enthusiast2 and Daniel will NOT be banned.  Our members are allowed to disagree with each other.  Not all of us will agree with each other 100% of the time.  Get used to it. 

This thread was about a 13 year old boy who was relentlessly bullied and taunted for being different.  As far as we know, he never dressed up in a tutu and performed live sex acts on other men during pro-homosexual protests.  Nor do we know if was ever intimate with another man.  So let's show some compassion.  The boy is dead now.  Whatever his sins or faults were is now between him and G-d.  Let's just leave it at that. 

Finally, I'm going to defend Daniel, even though I hate Obama.  He admitted on a past Ask JTF show that he voted for Obama.  Chaim stated how disappointed he was, but did not ban Daniel.  So let's take that as a hint.  I realize that people here are no fans of "conserved" and "deformed" Judaism.  But keep in mind there are many reasons why Jews would join such places of worship.  Growing up, I had a friend who went to an Orthodox Yeshiva, who has always kept kosher, and was observant, yet her father decided their family should join the local Conservative Synagogue rather than the Orthodox one.  This was a good, proud Jewish girl. 

If you guys want to bring less observant Jews like Daniel back to the Orthodox fold, you need to stop beating him over the head.  Instead, why not ask him his views on the Torah and how he came to believe what he believes?

When I have criticism for somebody I say it like it is not hide behind a "Zionist pro-Israel Orthodox friend" like you did... Cowardly little liar...

Lisa,   

I strongly disagree.  Ron needs to be dealt with.  The English forum will not take much more of his fascist behaviors.

Yes that too, Hitler also said that the Jews destroy Germany and that they're hiding their real identity.

There's nothing Jewish about homosexuality.

OK people.  This has gone on long enough.  I'm locking this thread now.

One more thing I want to add, and I'm sorry I left this out of my previous post on the thread. 

While I don't agree with Daniel being called a sodomite, I also think he needs to apologize for comparing the Orthodox members here to Nazis and blaming them for the death of the 13 year old boy.  Daniel, this is a Jewish forum.  So even if you felt ganged up on, I still think calling religious Jews who most likely lost family in the Holocaust to Nazis was totally uncalled for.  Also, it's extremely hurtful. 

So please do the right thing once you're back and apologize to the members here for comparing them to Nazis and implying they have blood on their hands.
