GERMAN DOCTORS FIND "GAY" CURE! will this also help cure liberalism?
BERLIN – German doctors announced that they have found the cure for “gayness.”
German Catholic doctors announced that they can cure the sexual
orientation of gays and lesbians with sugar pills — though only at their
request, the group says. But the homo-homeopathy has been harshly
criticized by members of its target community.
The Lesbian and Gay Federation in Germany (LSVD) is outraged.
Following news reported this week by the online magazine Telepolis that
the Union of Catholic Physicians (UCP) has been offering homeopathic
“Therapy Options for Homosexuality” on their website, the advocacy
organization called the suggestion an “insult,” and an “impertinence”
that showed “a lack of respect for homosexuals and bisexuals.”
I know you are trying to be the newest edition to our resident trolls, but can you please at least try to be original? We have an overabundance of the over the top anti-gay anti-left wing trolls on here as is.
Just once I'd enjoy it if you guys tried trolling differently. I don't know, try a libertarian persona, or maybe a Marxist. That could be amusing, and would at least bit more original.
I understand how trolling works, but repeated attempts at trolling using the same types of personas achieve diminishing returns. Most people disagree with Libertarianism (particularly if the person tried being "radical" about it, or anarchistic) and most people disagree with Marxism. In fact, using either of those personas would get a larger amount of disagreement than the cookie cutter personas being used here.
So you admit that you're a troll. You've clearly engaged in large amounts of trolling to have come to that conclusion. What do you get out of pissing people off? Do you troll to try and hide the fact that you are actually , quite gullible? Your gullible and naive nature is not something you can escape.
Aww, how cute. You decided to debate a fictional news source. It isn't even good fiction. Sugar? Their best fake cure for gayness was sugar? The Onion has better fake articles.
There is nothing to suggest that a "cure" for homosexuality would have any effect at changing political disposition, as the two are not the same thing.
