Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate was Beaten, Set On Fire and Thrown Into River

By definition "preferential treatment" is treating people differently.... evidence not required.

But my point was, when your goal is such that it can't be reached, it is not a goal.

Believing that somehow you are going to erase discrimination, true bigotry, not to mention crimes with a racial / religious component is fantasy, actually it more than fantasy

it is somewhere between delusion and dishonesty.

It's funny, my friends on the Left are always so quick to hit the refrain -You can't legislate morality-

and then they go right ahead and try.

Wow, when did I ever say I would erase discrimination? It isn't a goal of mine to get rid of something that's world wide. My goal is to be the type of person my sons and my family can be proud of. I can't control what other people do or think. I am responsible for my own actions alone. And as long as I do the right thing and help others non selfishly I am content with that.

Oh, silly me, I forgot that gay men automatically have AIDS.

Huh? I not say that.

The Killer learned that the candidate gave him The Aids, and went batshit crazy.

Time to spar? hmmmmmmmmmm?

Says who? And why? Because he's gay? That's an ignorant conclusion to jump to.

[Darnell 8,479]

na - it's just one conclusion. there are others. and it's not because he's gay.

Really? You think if he was straight, someone would have come up with the brilliant comment of "he probably found out he had AIDS and went crazy"?

No they would have said, She probably caught him cheating on her and went crazy.. The more you liberals demand equal treatment the more you demand we treat groups different

ya know, I have to discount all about him being gay, as he's openly gay already.

Tis not something to change, or even discount, as he's already openly gay.

So, to flip the argument, if he was straight - doesn't wash here - that Mayoral Candidate was openly gay.

And come on - it's just a posit, aye? Mine and one others - some fella on the DL found out that he caught the AIDS from the Mayoral Candidate, and went batshit crazy and killed him.

That's it, really. You can punch all the holes you want in my posit - no worries there - but to flip it and contrast/compare won't work, as the Mayoral Candidate was openly Gay.

Your right. To assume it could be Aids related because he is gay is stupid. Geeez Why would one assume such a thing

TLANTA, Georgia, August 24, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the CDC's estimate Monday that in the United States AIDS is fifty times more prevalent among men who have sex with men ('MSM') than the rest of the population. Dr. Amy Lansky revealed this statistic during a plenary session at the 2009 HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta.The CDC had already revealed last year that approximately 53% of the estimated 56,300 new HIV cases in 2006 were in homosexual men, with the African American population being particularly affected.

Too bad. If he had been elected mayor, the town would have been fabulous!

[MyLittlePony 340]

This is so super duper.

[Danno 1,228]

But it's not an excuse to treat people differently. I will always give those the benefit of the doubt, nor will I assume the worst without evidence to back it up.

BUt people are different, so we naturally act and speak differently as the moment dictates.

I would prefer to use the term "fairly"

To treat all people fairly.

Of course it's stupid. Just because gay men do get AIDS, to take a story about a murder and immediately jump to "he found out he had AIDS, he went crazy" simply because one of the people involved is openly gay .... you can try to defend that all you want, it's stupid as ####.

It seems that GTA - 'Gheys Therefore AIDS' has become the new DWB....

And pray tell how are people different? The Declaration of Independence says "All men are created equal" So why can't we treat people that way?
