Paul, prove it is not an evil act.
No, that's not misunderstanding. I'm voicing my opinion, that it.

The abstinence isn't option if people want sex for just fun so they have to use safe sex.

You are obviously being sarcastic.

However, I found your remark to be offend to IBSers, that's not cool.

Love is a word that is more and more often casually thrown around by people as many people these days do not understand what love truly means.


Refrain from using bad language, Paul. The proper word would be butt. The butt is NOT designed for sex. It is designed to remove toxic human waste!
That's your opinion about statement on homosexuality, sex and unmarried couples. You just have old fashioned brain.

CrazyPaul is free to cuss whatever he wants, long as it doesn't offend members. It doesn't matter and the people use anal sex.

No, Foxrac...not being sarcastic at all...IBS is a painful disease, and I'm being realistic here....Would the doctors, or what would the doctors tell you?

First, I'm not stupid. I already know that you are being sarcastic.

There is no connection between homosexuality and IBS so you should refrain from using word against me, it does offend to people with IBS.

IBS isn't disease, it is functional disorder.

Or we can say anal sex. Anyway, remember "Love Thy Neighbor"? That also means don't judge people of any kind.

Never said you were stupid...you're very intelligent...and never said there was a connection between IBS and homosexuality....(*as far as I know)....My question actually was....would this lifestyle aggravate or even make IBS worser?.....I do know that if I had colon cancer, or any other disease connected with the anal, I would refrain from having anal sex.....unless the doctor told me it was OK....OR not OK....

No, only make aggravate is diet, medicine, anxiety and stress.

My last sex was in 2005 and IBS wasn't occur until 2010.

This is where your ignorance still lingers on this forum. There is no danger to homosexuality medical-wise? Are you sure about that? What about HIV? AIDS? STDs? Smoking is dangerous to the public and so is homosexuality because homosexuality is just one way to spread evil. The effects of smoking are mainly physical, but the effects of homosexuality are both physical and spiritual.
HOWEVER, it is normal for a small portion of the population to be gay. Especially in modern society. If you want to blame anyone, how about the companies that manufacture pesticides with estrogenic properties, chemicals that have the same influence on the body as that of estrogen? There's estrogen in the water supply because the MUNICIPAL WATER TREATMENT PLANTS CAN'T FILTER IT OUT. It's my understanding that they can only treat for organisms and clean up the water supply as far as dirt and algae goes. That is why they say not to flush drugs down the toilet. (!)

Now, how about blaming the doctor team who operated on my Mom for a plate-and-pin procedure on her leg while she was carrying me? She felt she was pregnant with me, but the doctor laughed at her because he couldn't possibly believe that she was finally having a baby at 43 years old. No way. She never conceived, to doctors' knowledge. I was asleep for days before I awoke again after the surgery. And guess what? Not only am I deaf, but lesbian, and that's not all of it, either. I'm not out on another thing yet.

It's modern man who screwed up every GD thing. :birdflipping: I didn't ask to be born like this. Why would someone be gay in a straight world, write left-handed in a right-handed world, etc.? It is HARD to discover these things about oneself, because a person is not in the majority, not like everyone else. It feels like being an outsider. BUT, the price to pay if you are an outsider trying to "fit in" is the ultimate price, and that is yourself. Are you going to lose YOURSELF if you are going to go against your own personal nature, or are you going to lose the friends and possibly family who only know you and maybe love you for the shell that you wear around yourself? They don't love you, they love the role you hide behind. My family loves who I am, and I have a cousin who is married to someone in a similar situation. And I have a nephew who just came out. You stand to gain friends who know and like you for who you are.

Please refrain from preaching at forum members

It seems to me, that people cannot wrap their around the fact that not being able to recognize that some people are going to have different beliefs, which are opinions btw, shows a lack of respect for their fellow man. Just because you believe something does not mean it's true. You think you can respect the fact that different people believe different things or do you only respect yoda?

Dude, OMFG! You did not say that!

How about this? What if there is NO WRONG OR RIGHT? What if it just is? A man gets killed. A girl gets raped... A grandmother gets shot. It is an action, and it has a consequence. This is not right, or wrong because "god" said so. However, there are very traumatic consequences in these actions. If you choose to kill a man, you must be prepared for the consequences. What happens to the victim? He loses everything that he has come to know. He loses the people, the world, the things he came to own, the family, the love, everything. What about the people who knew him? They lose him in their very close, painful ways. They are deprived of him. Now, what about the consequences to YOU, the killer? Do you want to go on the run for the rest of your life? Do you want to be killed in a manner they see fit? Do you want to lose the "right" to come and go home as you please, to go to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park in the spring and see flower blooming on the side of the road on the way there? Do you want to end up suffering the same fate your victim did? Lose your family, your friends, your property, everything you came to embrace about life?

We live in a world of consequences. We have to think about everything we do, and weigh the pros and cons of our actions, considering the consequences. People who can understand the most what happens to other people in an action do very well to position themselves to gain benefit not only for themselves, but for other people they encounter in the journey through life. They also understand how they can be short-changed if they do not consider the consequences of their actions before carrying them out. Talk to someone who teaches concealed carrying of weapon (CCW) courses, as it is mainly about conflict resolution and making sure that firing that gun in self-defense is the absolute last thing you have to do to save your life. You can't shoot to kill, and you can't always shoot someone leaving with your property (and you are clearly not in bodily danger at that moment). There are legal, personal, and financial consequences you have to think about.

This is a world of consequences, and you cannot escape them. What if you cannot escape consequences even in death? What if Hermann Goering thought he was escaping with his cyanide pill (since he felt he should be shot and not hanged), only to find out certain entities were waiting for him? Who these entities are, I have no idea, but things are not what they appear to us in this plane of life.

The thing is, dude, your actions, your words speak of someone who seems to need control, a need to control other people, to make them be the way they're supposed to be. I wonder why that is. Why can you not live and let live? Do you want to be forced to pray to Allah? To fast during Ramadan? To be taught the Koran? Of course not... Because you were raised a certain way or it was reinforced by possible genetic links that reinforce familiarity with a given subject ancestors have. Can you help being that way? What if you are told that you are an infidel because you are not muslim? How does THAT make you feel?

The same way it makes me feel when you say the things you do say.

Foxrac, to be quite real and honest, neither one of us can totally, truthfully and honestly say that one or the other is telling the partial truth or whole truth here! This is where beliefs, feelings and opinions all come in to play here. It's a real shame that more of us can't get along on here without rock throwing and finger pointing (not referring to you)! Looks like this one will be locked up pretty soon as well! Sad, because healthy debate is good & fun! Good night all!

I am not calling CFA a hate group. It is a food establishment with an executive that has Christian opinions.

You know what I am saying and what I meant! No, not all liberals are bad and not all conservatives are good! The Republicans and Democrats both have bad seed! Just the hate mongers and crap stirring ones!
