I want to run a little poll to see how the boxing community feels about this subject. To see how our community stands.
Are you with Manny (against homosexuality) or with Floyd (in favor of homosexuality)?
i gotta admit, is weird to see lots of floyd's fans supporting manny :lol1:
The irony is they cry non stop about anti black racism yet they're more than happy to deride homosexuals :lol1:
Selective outrage, doe :lol1:
jesus christ, who cares what other people like or what other people think.
Pacquiao should have known better than to say it so bluntly. He is a public figure and outrage happens when popular people say stuff like this. However, people should take it easy and not make such a big deal out of it, its not the end of the world. I also understand Nike's decision not to be associated with people with those kind of views.
The truth of the matter is, there are most likely gay people on this forum - I dont care what they like. If you want to be gay be gay. I think it is weird that grown ass men on here focus so heavily about other mens preferences.
Rant over, I don't care about Pacs professional and I will continue to watch his fights because I like him as a fighter.
It's not so much about whether we oppose it, but the fact that God calls it abominable, which makes homosexuality wrong. Sadly, a lot of people don't believe in God; they think the universe created itself through some random act.
There is a reason for black people being more likely to get HIV and it's because, in many societies, they are far less likely to have the information/education or means to practice safe sex, they are more likely to be involved in drugs, especially the use of sharing needles and so on. The problem here is the drugs and the lack of education, not the race.
The problem with homosexual men is not that they are attracted to men but that they carry out the act of anal sex on a regular basis, in fact, many of them also have sex with women and transmit the virus to women, who may get pregnant and then vertically transmit the virus to their babies, a major concern in many societies around the world.
Don't homosexuals have higher rates of drug use? They also have higher rates of poverty.
FFS. :rofl::rofl:
Yeah, because HIV is clearly destroying society. Less than 1% of the planet has HIV/AIDs, and 70% of those people live in Africa, which is unfortunately because the world basically says "f*ck Africa" and puts forth little effort to educate them on how to prevent a lot of diseases.
Like every other disease that has ever existed, it was extremely dangerous when it was discovered and has become much less so as time passed and we understood what it is and how to deal with it. Just like with other diseases, some people do stupid sh*t that put them at risk anyway.
F*cking hell, man. It seriously blows my mind how people still say sh*t like this.
HIV is a rising threat all around the world, especially in Europe and the US. The UK has just spend millions of pounds promoting a new anti-HIV campaign, highlighting safe sex, especially among same sex couples.
I have also met several HIV patients and I have also met little children with HIV, which was transmitted to them via their mothers. HIV is a growing problem, only an imbecile would deny it.
But like I said, if you think it's ok, that's up to you. Nothing to do with me but Manny and any one else has the right to voice their opinions on the matter and he should not be losing sponsorship deals etc.
But you keep on with your ignorance. :wave:
Most of the world doesn't agree with homosexuality, otherwise they would partake in it. Floyd is just being pc, like most everybody else. But when a gay tv show makes a mockery of Christianity (Orange is the New Black) there's no backlash whatsoever. Or when the same gay community finds it humorous to parade as Jesus kissing other men. Manny shouldn't have judged the way that he had, but it does little to make him look bad when every one else is in a scurry to try to judge him personally.
Let Nike drop him while they use sweat shops for profit. Let the sinners bash him as if they're holier than thou. Manny only has to worry about His judgement and His word.
Because gay people are not content with being gay, they have an agenda. They want homosexuality to be part of sex education in the curriculum and want more representation in the media. If they're allowed to stifle freedom of speech so they can push their views on people and have homosexuality become the norm, then one day you will be evicted out of your own home for being straight and forced to give oral sex to prove you're not homophobic. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
I don't even know where to begin with this.
He has the right to his opinions even if I don't agree with them. Like someone said though you have to accept the consequences. If I call a girl fat I know that I'm going to get something in return. Pretty obvious stuff really

Sex education is a bad thing now? You do realize that most teenage pregnancies and STD transmission occurs when kids aren't taught sex education in school, right?
Where are you people hearing this sh*t?
I'm not gonna respond to your final paragraph as it's irrelevant and if you read my post, you will understand why I used the science argument to disprove this myth that "homosexuality is ok" because it is clearly detrimental to society as a whole, which is why we should be concerned about it. The same way one is concerned about violence, or theft or sexual assault. It degrades a society, it breaks it down and it damages it.
I don't want our societies riddled with disease that can be easily avoided and prevented and thus, wiped out.
Edit: I never said woman/woman can't be homosexual, I said it was not a prime method of HIV transmission.

I don't care for the arguments surrounding homosexuality. Let people be people, and live your own life, is what I think. I just don't want to see it in public.. I don't really like public displays of either homo or hetero behaviour. But to me, sexuality is natural as long as its with another human being.
Theres just a couple things in your post that stand out though. Homosexuality is both gay and lesbian. Woman and woman is also homosexual. Your post seemed to differentiate between the two, though that may just be the way I read it.

Blacks are also many times more likely to get HIV than other races, are blacks "wrong"? :Flush:

LOL, so true. Why else would you care so much about who people are having sex with unless you're interested in it? There's a reason so many of the most vehemently anti-gay voices in the world end up getting caught banging dudes.
Pretty much. I mean why the hell would or should you care?
Also, science hasn't ever claimed to 'prove God doesn't exist' - it claims it's highly unlikely that he does based SOLELY on what we can measure and test so far, i.e the scientific method. It's a little silly for anyone to attempt a 'scientific' approach in favour of atheism as it is already stepping outside the epistemological boundaries of science, as theres no empirical evidence to test or prove. Atheism is a philosophical (non-evidence based) position, not a scientific one. Anyway, getting way off topic
