Green Latern bats for the other team now?

IDK, let's go with courage. I'm sure it takes a bunch to get out of the closet. Prolly sass though really. Yeah, sass.

I was actually going with 'beotchy'.

Nah...kids are never influenced by things they see on TV or movies, read in books, etc.

maybe you're right. i guess the only reason i went for my wife was hearing this song as a kid.

thank you joe walsh! because of you, i've turned out not to be a godless sodomite. hear me now parents, park your sissy boys in front of the computer screen and your prayers will be answered.

I guess kids decide to dress like thugs and whores because their parents make them. Maybe it's something innocuous like fast food, fluoridated water, or (larger than 16oz) sugary drinks that create the impression and permissive cultural environment where kids learn it's ok to engage in (various) sex acts outside of marriage.

You're probably right. The constant inundation of our kids (at earlier and earlier ages) of TV shows, music, or any other pop culture outlet have absolutely no effect on how our kids view the world.

But wait...we can't show any cigarette advertisements. Weve had to stamp out all forms of religion out of our schools. Many kids' shows won't show guns (remember the ET remake)...why?

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

i never said societal/cultural influences have no effect on youth. i said a comic book won't turn a kid gay.

taking the kids to the zoo today; if i have the inclination, i'll continue the debate this evening. until then, take care.

Looks like the other thread about this topic has disappeared, or been made invisible...

So let me ask you...

1. DC Comics sells their comic books to children and adults.
2. DC Comics plans to promote homosexual activity in the upcoming Green Lantern Issue.

Is DC Comics promoting homosexual pedophilia with this move, especially since they know their customer base is made of children and primarily male adults?

Should DC Comics be allowed to be sold to minor children once this whole homosexual super hero theme comes to light? Will Green Lantern no longer be identified as a super hero and now be identified as a sexual being that engages in sodomy and other aspects of a homosexual lifestyle? Is this something we want our children to be buying and reading?

Make them all homosexuals, make them transexuals, make them rapists and masochists, and lovers of beastiality....I don't care either way...but don't sell this crap to children.

That's about the end of my three cents.

Wow, just because you are gay doesn't mean you want to touch kids, have sex with animals, rape people, etc.

Nah...kids are never influenced by things they see on TV or movies, read in books, etc.

If you are a good parent they shouldnt be.

Sex outside of marriage isnt exactly a new thing, people having sex in high school when my dad was a kid back in the 50s/60s

TV shows may have an effect on them, but its the parents job to tell then what is right and wrong. Kids make mistakes, they did when I was young, they did when my dad was young, and they did when my grandpa was young. Thats part of life.

I'm not saying its the only cause and it directly causes anything. But to deny it is a strong influence, is naive. Kids today are amongst media all the time, even when their parents aren't around. Even adults are swayable.

Excusing bad behavior because it's always been done or because somebody else does it is one way civil society rots from the inside out.

Just as a reminder: less than five percent, a deviant few; not the silent plurality we've been led to believe exists. We've spent billions on campaigns and school-child programs of "tolerance" of 'different sexual orientations', spent time and money attempting to pass legislation preventing/promoting the takeover of our civil society and the institutions of civil society, had to endure many thousands of ridiculous news articles denouncing/promoting deviancy as a genuine alternate "lifestyle" worthy - and necessary - to embrace with "equality", to find out that all along, we have been pandering to less than 5% of our population. One in twenty, if that many, self-identify as homosexual. As a public-relations pot-stirring noise-maker, I've got to hand it to the gay community, in terms of sheer inflation of numbers and promotion of a cause due to sheer repetition of inflated figures, those folks take the cake on promoting their ridiculous, deviant behavior into an "acceptable" "lifestyle" in the opinion of the American public. Kudos on taking the weird and the abnormal and trying to make it seem normal, and moral, and acceptable. Best PR campaign in history: YOU'RE INTOLERANT IF YOU DISAPPROVE, SO ACCEPT US OR ELSE. *polite golf-style applause*

Just to repeat myself:

Never before have so many bent over so backward to accommodate so few.

I have seen info that say's less than 2% but you will never convince the left coast of this...or Key West

Gay gun owners, oh no's... lol

Why do you think pink guns are made.

Its not like women go shooting.

I wish glock made a pink glock. Now what did happen to the pg thread.

also why cant super heros be gay I think that is the only person that thinks hummmm spandex would be a good choice of clothing besides a cyclist. Also everyone i know doesnt think spandex is a good outfit in public so why would their choice in partner matter.

Oh no, the Green Lantern gay!!!??? That is about as bad as when J. K. Rowlings for some reason made Dumbledore, the headmaster at Hogwarts school for witches and wizards gay for no apparent good reason. I have some opinions on that, but none that have been substantiated. When she made the announcement, I just wondered why. What was the need to do this? What was her motivation?

To keep the homophobes awake at night?

Because it is a politically correct mandate to have at least one prominent homosexual character to satisfy fragile, American sensibilities?

All this for approx. 2% of the population....Amazing

 

[edporch]

Oh well. Since I learned way back that Rock Hudson was gay seems little can surprise me, now John Travolta. I bet you anything Nicholas Cage is homosexual and I GUARANTEE that Kenny Chesney is very very gay.
No more real "Macho" superheros I guess.

Considering that she wrote her book for a British audience, I'd say that's not the correct answer.

 

[HeadlessRoland]

Less ridiculous would have been any indication in the series that he was, in fact, gay. Nothing in canon exists to support the author's claim except the author's ability to claim authorial intent. Well, if Dumbledore is gay, she did a very poor job in seven books and many thousands of pages, because no hint is dropped therein. She's simply pandering to sell more books, a very cynical attitude to have, particularly as, again, nothing in any Harry Potter book gives ANY indication, no matter how couched or subtle, that Dumbledore is supposedly gay. Such a crock, the whole thing.

You do realize that the Harry Potter books are fiction, don't you?
