Debate: Should people use the word "Gay" as a derogatory adjective?
Side: HAPPILLYGAYNOTLAME

I have just read through and upvoted on both sides...............lol at it all.....i am hapilly gay and far from lame!..btw..im a bi-sexual woman who is non-active in my bi-sexuality...work that one out...lol. IT COMES DOWN TO EACH INDIVIDUAL SITUATION..........HOW IT IS APPLIED,AND HOW IT IS INTENDED!...I also understand what pyg was tring to say and he really wasnt trying to be derogatory towards gay people at all,only that everyone beat up on him, as tho he was, his attempt to explain, was trodden down to that view.,And so in his defense....As a few of my gay friends(not all of them but a few) also use the word "gay" to describe certain things as "lame".So as i said, it depends on the individual situation,how it is applied and how it is intended!Now will people just leave the word "gay" alone.....lol... As long as you dont apply it to hurt the feelings of a gay person or to belittle the existance of gay people then who cares,......you can use it til your hearts content.....Furthermore i just went into my laundry, kicked my lame washing machine and called it gay,....it didnt get upset....but i would not kick a gay person for being gay,...but i may however,... kick them for being lame....As for all this splitting of hairs, ive decided to take them all ,knit a wig,style it to my fashion,and where it with pride.

Did you know that Gay and Lesbian youth represent 30% of all completed suicide, meaning a successful suicide attempt by a gay teen every 5hrs and 48mins.Now think about that every time you use the word "Gay" in a derogatory way.

Being apart of the so called "gay" community, I have been subjected to many cruel things that "str8" people do. I have had beer cans and bottles thrown at me, beat, harassed, and called numerous derogatory names. "Gay" people have been forced by str8 people to identify with these terms in a positive way to deal with the scrutiny and indignities we have went through. Do I personally identify as gay? NO. But str8 people do. Being hatted against for nothing, being forced to view myself as a heinous thing, to be forced into a hell like no other, only to have people take another negative to me and those who are forced to identify with this word is beyond disrespectful. The high school children who comment on this saying it is ok to do so are just that: Children. Many have no clue about what gays truly have to go through. The str8 children make this ok because they refuse to make the paradigm shift that shows how mean these actions are. Why? Because they would have to accept that they are wrong and that they are creating more hate.Honestly, its pathetic. The swastika was a Hindu symbol of the sun and now has an irreversible association with the Nazis. The pink inverted triangle has been adopted as a positive image of "gay" pride. Now "gays" have to make "queer" and "fag" as a positive thing because str8 people will not change how they treat others, evidently because its to hard to treat another person with any measure of dignity, respect, or maturity.

I personally, absolutely hate when people use the word gay in that way, especially when they think its ok to do that. Some facts about this that there are plenty of kids that use gay as a derogatory term and other words that they commonly use to taunt and denigrate their peers - words that play on disability or racial differences. It’s said when you use gay as a derogatory term means that you are homophobic. “Gay” is a shortened or another term to describe someone’s sexuality (ex. Homosexual). Using the word gay to describe men who are not afraid to express their feelings or be romantic is a very narrow-minded. If a man doesn't have the typical macho man attitude and doesn't mind showing emotion, don't automatically assume that the person is gay.

Side: Yeah, screw them

The Hyde amendment already prohibited federal dollars from subsidizing abortions, with the only exceptions of rape and incest. The first half of this current amendment is pretty much redundant as it's already federal law. It's the second part that's ridiculous. The amendment prevents people who are subsidized by the government to help pay for private insurance to purchase plans that include abortion coverage. This primarily hurts poor minorities twofold: it ensures that there will be higher birth-rates, helping in the increase in single-mother families and potentially poverty rates, and it will necessarily limit the variety of insurance they can choose.To the question: yes.

That's 100% correct. Which is why people who cannot afford an abortion should abstain from sex.Lets say that I buy a house and then realize that I can't make the payments, are you going to subsidize me? Or is it only women who need these special priviledges you're tallking about.

Just as I thought, avoid the point.Why do you hate poor people so much Joe? Are you seriously saying that your solution to this is that if you're poor, you can't have sex, because there is a small chance that contraception may fail? Just so we're clear, is that actually what you're suggesting? That there should be a minimum criteria that you must meet to engage in something that humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years?

This has nothing to do with poor or rich people. The bottom line is that since abortion is an optional procedure, it should not be covered.
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w
Side: Yeah, screw them

"This has nothing to do with poor or rich people."Unfortunately it does, because what is proposed is financial help for the poor towards the cost of an abortion; being rich or poor has everything to do with the argument. However, this is slightly different to what I am opposing, which is Joe's view that "People who cannot afford an abortion should abstain from sexual intercourse."Clearly, this is advocating a criteria on those who should be allowed to engage in sex, which is both ridiculous and naive. Paying for the abortions of those who cannot afford them when they are patently required isn't going to encourage people to have sex. I doubt the cost of an abortion would ever be something that is going through someone's mind when they decide to engage in sex. The thing you have to decide is: do you just ignore the problem, or try to combat it? Allowing this regression of poor kids born to poor families, not to mention the fact that these kids are most likely unwanted, unplanned, and unlikely to be born with the proper financial planning which should always be a factor when having or planning to have a child, means that, in the long run, this child will mostly likely have a poor quality of upbringing and be more of a financial burden then initially paying for the abortion.Sex happens, and you can't stop it. What you can do, however, is make a decision about how you best combat the rising gap between the poor and the rich in America, and how your tax dollars are best spent. Do you want 18 years of supporting a child through welfare (and most likely far more than 18 years), or do you want a small one-time financial burden, not to mention stopping an unwanted child who will most likely have a poor quality of life being bought into the world?

It's not that I hate poor people. It is that I do not condone irresponsible behaviour; ever.If you are a low-income woman, the last thing you need is a baby. Since contraceptives are not 100% effective, you should abstain from sexual intercourse. Facials, blow jobs, etc. are OK. Sexual intercourse would be irresponsible because you would be gambling a fetus' life for temporary pleasure.Now, I expect that you would not want to be held liable for someone else's gambling debt, so why should I be held liable for a woman who gambled that she would not get pregnant and lost? The law states that you can legally have an abortion within a certain period of time. The law does NOT guarantee that an abortion will be provided for you, free of charge.

Again with the obsession over "Facials, blow jobs"...what is up with that??A fetus doesn't have a "life" BTW.Gambling, gambling, gambling...repeating the same insanely nonsensical arguments over & over & over again do NOT make them valid!"The law states that you can legally have an abortion within a certain period of time."No, it does not!
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w
Side: No, let them be

OK, then. The government is not responsible for paying for abortions. Here's my argument.The Hyde Amendment, implemented in 1977, restricts the use of federal funds for abortion. These public funds can only be used when an abortion is needed to save the life of the mother, or when the pregnancy results from assault rape or incest.Are you saying that the court ruling did not happen? Are you saying that the court ruling is not in effect? How far are you willing to go to prove your ignorance?

OMG when will people stop making these poor arguments about poor people? They are poor. They KNOW they are poor. They still took the risk of pregnancy KNOWING that they may not be able to hold the burden. Why should we feel sorry for these people?
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w
Side: Yeah, screw them

"They still took the risk of pregnancy KNOWING that they may not be able to hold the burden. Why should we feel sorry for these people?"Again I ask, are you advocating that finances should be a criteria in people having sex? Is that seriously what you're saying? Because to me, it looks like your argument is "don't have sex if you're poor."
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w
Side: No, let them be

I think the message they are trying to get across is that given the fact that:The Hyde Amendment, implemented in 1977, restricts the use of federal funds for abortion. These public funds can only be used when an abortion is needed to save the life of the mother, or when the pregnancy results from assault rape or incest.If you cannot afford an abortion, then it is a good idea to refrain from sexual intercourse (other sexual acts are OK). If you don't refrain from sexual intercourse and you end up pregnant, then you better have a back up plan for funding your abortion because Uncle Sam is not responsible for paying for it.Here's another way to say the same thing.Government Protected Constitutional Right does not mean that the government has to pay people to exercise their constitutional rights.http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ What_does_Government_Protected_Constitutional_Right_mean

That's a terrible analogy seeing as sex is a choice and being hit by a car is something that someone has no control over.
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w
Side: No, let them be

That's not the analogy. Leaving the house and having sex are the equivalents. Both are choices made that can have potential problems. When leaving the house, and equally when having protected sex, the risk aspect is greatly reduced to a point where it shouldn't have a bearing on the decision to act. So, the argument of not having protected sex if you can't afford an abortion is equivalent to saying don't leave the house if you can't afford any risks that may equally occur from that decision, such as being hit by a car.Engaging in protected sex and leaving the house are both choices that can have negative consequences. Saying you should spend your life avoiding possibilities because of potential unlikely negatives is ridiculous.

"Which is why people who cannot afford an abortion should abstain from sex"...in your opinion. I can just see the GOP ads now..."Stop the poor from having sex!!" Now there's a "winning" argument!"Lets say that I buy a house and then realize that I can't make the payments, are you going to subsidize me?"It depends. There are a lot of people out there that were lied to when they purchased loans, and I feel that at least some of them should have the ability to try & get a judge to modify their terms so they can try & stay in their homes."Or is it only women who need these special priviledges you're tallking about."LMAO! Since when are CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS "special privileges"??
Debate: Should people who are morally agaisnt abortions be forced to pay for those who w

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS become "special privileges" when I have to pay people to exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.The Hyde Amendment, implemented in 1977, restricts the use of federal funds for abortion. These public funds can only be used when an abortion is needed to save the life of the mother, or when the pregnancy results from assault rape or incest.The government is not responsible for paying you to exercise your Constitutional rights. The government is only responsible for protecting your rights. If you want an abortion, then the government guarantees that there will not be any federal obstacles keeping you from exercising your right.If you can't, or wont exercise your rights, that's not the governments fault. otherwise I could bill the government to fly me to Washington DC in order for me to exercise my Constitutional right of freedom of speech and talk about how ridiculous it is for the government to pay you to exercise your rights.

So let me get this straight. A woman can force me to suffer the consequences of her actions by forcing me to pay for her abortions but I cannot force her to accept the consequences of her actions.
