I'd like everyone to take a look at my proposla and tell me what you think. I kind of take this stuff seriously, so please give me honest criticism, but don't be too harsh.

This is linguistical debate, not UN proposal material.

Does that mean if I want to change the definition of Bush to stupid, I can if the UN passes it?

only if I can change mine from democrats to anti-american idiots

Now now, children. Don't quarrel. The Democrats and the Republicans both suck.

gay did indeed once upon a time mean happy

i see no reason people of all sexual orientations shouldn't be allowed to be

this un could get into the bussiness of defining the meanings of american english words

there's certainly nothing to stop it from doing so as far as i can see

not that i can see any good reason for it to do so either

all i can see that it does is to come up with aggreements on things that we then all aggree to pretend to abide by

it basicly just gives us one more place to mouth off for those of us who have joined it

somewhat like earth: mostly harmless
(near as i can figure, but don't quote me as having the slightest of any more certain of an idea)

a) Not all people speak English.
b) RW: Gay still means happy as well.
c) Language is fluid and rapidly changing I don’t think it’s up to the government to decide.

Do you know what ‘gay science’ is?

nope..

It would be too confusing in my nation as same sex marriages are common.

What are you talking about, they'd be happy marriages now. :)

The Rep of Komokom blinks a few times, then explodes with,

WTF ?

THIS IS NOTHING BUT A THINLY DISGUISED ATTEMPT TO REMOVE "GAY" MARRIAGE FROM BEING PROTECTED BY U.N. LAW, IT IS CONTRARY TO PASSED U.N. LAW AND AS SUCH SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO REMOVAL BY MODERATION STAFF !

Might I add further, its is clearly the work of a homophobic individual or group, the message in the proposal certainly is.

DOWN WITH INTOLERANCE FOR HUMAN BEINGS, DOWN WITH THE INABILITY BY THE FEW TO ACCEPT THE INDIVIDUAL, DOWN WITH THE OPPRESSION OF THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DOWN WITH THIS PROPOSAL ! ! !

Ahem,

To not have an interest in a homosexual agenda does not make one "fear" homosexuality. The phrase "homophobic" is rediculous and overused. Please expand your vocabulary ;)

k, thnks

I disagree, my use I thought was valid, as the proposal submitted did seem very homophobic,

There was no interest in an "agenda"

If you ask me the idea of a homosexual "agenda" seems over-used and certainly ridiculous.So, as for vocabulary, you first, :wink:

The proposal seemed rather to be clearly anti-homosexual and had a thinly concealed ability to negate the protection of homosexual marriage as already done, hence my "loud" :wink: post...

Anti-Homosexual and Homophobic are 2 vastly different concepts. The Bible has passages that are anti-homosexual... does that mean it's "homophobic" ? Not quite ;)

How about a bunch of brain dead rednecks going out to beat up on homosexuals... I'm pretty sure they are not "homophobic" (fear of man) but more about pure hate.

When you want to assume the phobia's of people..... that makes your amazing powers of mind-reading quite astounding compared to mine ... and I smoke DMT :P

ever hear of fear biters?
is not hatred often a mask for suppressed fear and or ignorance.
yes that so called redneckism is precisely the point, and 'homophobic'
is exactly what it is.

why do you think hitler hated jews?
he had an abusive father and his parents were jewish.

so he hated what he subconscously feared.

and thought he was getting back at what he thought was wrong with his world by abusing people on the basis of their ethnicity (it also made political convienince for him, people like to not have to think, that is how any prejudic devides and concors, and nine times out of ten it's real origen is as a vested political tool)

driveing wedges based on differences does not make anyone's world a better or happier place to live

it only lines the pockets and serves the agendas of a corrupt few
at the expense of everyone

Generally I'm for a bigger government, but I think the UN would go too far to start defining words. This certain example (gay=happy) is harmless, but it sets a bad precedent, and is the first step on the road to Newspeak.

what is wrong with newspeak?

I bellyfeel that Newspeak leads to doubleplusungood duckspeaking and thoughtcrime.
