Homosexuality debates - what's with the name calling?
In many arguments around this subject often those who disagree resort to name calling, without provocation. What I mean by this is a civil conversation suddenly devolves into calling homosexuals depraved, sick, perverts etc. When no name calling has been made against those making those remarks. Is it because they see the point but can't stand it?
I myself don't understand it, but to each his or her own as long as they keep their lifestyle and sexuality to a responsible degree. I mean just like hetrosexuals keep certain things in the bedroom where they belong. As far as name calling, There is no excuse for that at all.
Maybe they just don't want to admit better points have been made than their own. Perhaps it IS because they see the point but can't stand it.
In many arguments people result to name calling. Like they think it makes them better or something.
