Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'll give my opinion. *puts on armor for safety*

I personally do not like homosexuals, and believe that homosexuality is a choice. I am, however, okay with bisexuals. Bisexuals are much easier to get along with in my experience, and they generally don't walk around telling everyone about it, like the few gays I've met have.

Fair enough. The question I have to ask in return is this: Who would choose a life where sex is so often a painful act and you're shunned or detested by so many in society?

If I found a type of sex describable as such, it could be possible. However, I currently have not. Its similar to a singular case of a boy I know. He fell in love with a black girl, he was white. His family didn't take well to it AT ALL. He was disowned, thrown out, and all of his things were sold. But he was happy, he had the love of his life.

Like I said, if I was in such a situation, it could very well be possible.

Oh lawd help us.

You're only 17/18, right man? I'm gonna let this ignorant ass comment "slide" because I really don't feel like debating this shit on a gaming forum... but man do you have some growing up to do.

In addition to Flake's question I suppose I'll throw my own out there, which is the same thing I asked people on the North Carolina amendment thread awhile back... Why do you care so much about the sexuality and relationships of private individuals?

Everyone should start by acknowledging that Forlorn KNOWS he's in the minority on this one and is just trying to have a discussion. Respect on both sides, all.

Well this is wierd, so my lease for my place of residence ends in one month, and the leasing company has already started to send people to my house to view it in the INSIDE. Today, some girl and a leasing agent walked right into my house and starting looking around, and I nearly had my phone ready to call 911 for a home invasion. lol!

This can't be standard for leasing company, can it!??

Well hold on now, 3 people did tell him it was safe to share his opinion, so let him.

@Forlorn - I think you'll have more luck with your argument by not generalizing and stereotyping, when you do that, it comes off as uninformed and not fact-based.

For example, you said, "I do not like homosexuals." That is a broad comment and will make anyone who says they don't like (an implied) ALL of something come off as ignorant.

A better comment would be, "I do not like the homosexuals I have met." And follow that up with why.

I agree though, if you want to have the discussion and argue your point, probably best in hindsight to start a thread in off-topic. If you do do that, set some clear ground rules as they tend to veer off track in a hurry.
