Politicians have a mental disorder in order to become politicians in the first place.

And obvious troll is obvious.

This is an absurd debate. I have nothing more to say on the topic.

So just because you have the 'misfortune' to develop intimate relationships with people of the same gender, you automatically can't get into politics?

What is wrong with homosexuals? I actually don't even like distinguishing between heterosexuals or homosexuals. We are all people. Just because somebody doesn't want to 'get with' someone of the opposite gender doesn't mean they have a mental illness. They are perfectly healthy. It's close minded homophobes who shouldn't get anywhere in life.

No one has the right to deny anyone of their rights here in America! So why do the republicans keep using their faith and beliefs of what they think is right on others? Doesn't the Word of God say in (Acts 15) "It is through grace of our LORD Jesus Christ that we are saved, just as they are." Republicans open your eyes and your hearts and stop being so high and mighty, and love God's people He created. We have to love you guys don't we?

It's natural to be afraid of what you don't understand. However, we are at a point in our humanity that we can look past our ignorance and come to terms with what's real. Homosexuals aren't tiny little devils that want nothing more than to torment you, no, they are human beings. I sure hope that were all trying to promote general humanity still, because things like this debate really make me believe that all people are inherently selfish. Someone please tell me otherwise!

In my experiences, I have found that there is no such thing as right and wrong. Instead, there is only ones perception of the world.

In a world as filtered and proccesed as the one we live in, you can't speak of facts without speaking out of an opinion. It is folly to assume any singular incident as truth. That is contradictory to the nature of science. I am sorry, but self-inherited validation won't sway me.

I don't understand why they shouldn't have the right to hold political office.

"Statisticly, gays are much more likely to develope mental illness."- Can you enter your source for this "fact"?

You are really making republicans look bad. Just stop talking.

Its a valid argument for you to stop making republicans look bad.

Can you be a little more specific than that? There is a lot of information on that site.

At least you are willing to reason. I can explain why your 'fact' is misleading.

Any individual who is outcastsd from society, in the most extreme to the least apparent level, will be affected psychologically thereby, reguardless of sexual orientation. How one copes with being alienated in the "land of the free" will vary by the individual, which is to say that derived sociological conditions cannot be focused to a demographic such as homosexuality.

I don't see sexual orientation being an issue in holding an office.

Yes, no question, yet right wing nuts will fight against it and try to dethrone any current in office now.

Homosexuals have a major mental difference that can be detrimental in a political office. This is not a statement of sexual prejudice, it is a statement of fact (see link). Studies on this topic have shown homosexuals to be much more prone to mental illness that can appear without warning. They must seek mental mental help before being allowed into office or at least be closely monitored by a psychiatrist.

Well the fact that they're gay means there's something wrong with them in the first place...

It will also mean that if they gain power it can will be used towards strengthening the gay community

It will also mean the sex scandals will be twice as funny/disgusting.

Basically for anybody against homosexuality it is a nightmare. Funny at times aswell as shown above.

HOOOWEEVER I have heard this interesting theory that the more gay males there are the less competition there is for females in the market.

Homosexuality does have its upsides u know!

Even though I'm not a republican, or christian.. are you telling me I should love, paedophiles, rapists, murderers, dealers, transgenders, zoophiles, necrophiles, and all sorts of philes, genders, trisexuals, bisexuals etc. etc.?????

I'm not saying that homosexuals shouldn't have rights and it's not a matter of ignorance. Statisticly, gays are much more likely to develope mental illness. This is not based an faith or religious creed of any kind, it is FACT.

That is not an argument. Don't post if you aren't going to give a valid argument.

If you had looked at my previous argument you would have seen it. go to www.narth.com

Perhaps fact is a strong word, but there does exist many pieces of evidence to suggest that gays may not have the mental stability to hold a political office. That is not contradictory to the nature of science.
