[about an anti-gay ad from the 1950s]
Wow, think of the good old days in the fifties when people could tell the truth about homosexuals--that they're disease-ridden, never monogamous, and ALL turn to pedophilia. You can't say that stuff today, of course, despite the fact that it's still true. Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths or people with schizophrenia.

"that they're disease-ridden, never monogamous, and ALL turn to pedophilia."
Looks like someone's breaking the ninth commandment.
What planet is this guy on? I understand that he's a bigoted fuckshit and all, but "ALL" turn to paedophilia? They're "NEVER" monogamous? Even other fundies usually avoid using 100% figures for these things, since they can be proven incorrect by way of a quick look at reality.
Oh, and "disease-ridden"? Even if that were true in all cases (FYI, more heterosexual people than homosexual are afflicted with AIDS these days), I'm pretty sure Jesus himself cared for lepers. And lepers are, in the strictest sense of the word, "disease-ridden".
I don't think that in the 1950s the psychological community regarded homosexuals as "disease-ridden, never monogamous, and ALL turn to pedophilia". Certainly, they regarded homosexuality as a type of paraphilia, but that's distinct (hence, the distinction in name) from pedophilia.
From the days when I was going out with girls on a regular basis:
Q: What does a lesbian bring on the third date?
Yeah, those homosexuals. So non-monogamous. In contrast to those upstanding committed heterosexuals, like Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker and Jack Hyles, who never cheated on their wives *ev--oh, who are we kidding?
"Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths or people with schizophrenia."
I don't believe there's a strong positive correlation between schizophrenia and violent behavior.
By the same token I guess I am right in saying all christians are brainwashed, self-absorbed, narcissistic assholes.
Aside from the fact that you are not only lying, you're also uneducated about history.
Homosexuals don't ALL turn into pedophiles...though a healthy amount of heterosexual men have those leanings...
(Isn't it your fault that they are not monogamous, seeing as how you guys oppose their getting married, and all.)
None of that stuff is true, contrary to what you believe, which is why I am glad that you cannot say it with impunity any longer (at least without looking like a jackass, like you do now!).
Imagine that we have to pretend that there is nothing wrong or dangerous with other sociopaths? I know, that is a real problem. Luckily, as time goes on, we are increasingly able to point out how wrong and dangerous sociopaths like you really are!
As a non-disease-ridden, monogamous, non-pedophile gay man, I guess I'll just have to disappear in a puff of fundie nonsense.
Most of the gay people I've met are neither disease ridden nor pedophiles; as for monogamous, I have no idea, but who cares? Who ever said that was an ideal anyway? And it's not like CHRISTIANS don't have higher divorce rates than atheists, and, according to Jesus himself, divorce is unacceptable and if you marry a second time you are still committing adultery. By this jackasses's own standards, Christians aren't particularly monogamous themselves.
Of course, in the fifties they were so aware of homosexuality, that they had to use low-budget movies with lots of inaccuracies to demonstrate that. For example, that they put in probation a molested guy, that homosexuals told "off-colour" jokes, etc.......... And by the way, the same police says that pedophiles are straight men in most cases. And the best, he considers schizofrenic people sinners and dangerous and NEVER monogamous.
The reason you can't say all that stuff now is, for one thing, it's at the very least slander , and just false hysteria, you bug brained homophobic nitwit.
Gee, Ole Bob misses McCarthyism, that great old time when you could publish any lie(as long as it followed the right-wing religious and political lines) and get away with it by calling your opponent un-American.
Ah, yes, the fifties. I was in college. Rabid paranoia over communism. Women and minorities knew their places. Homosexuals were all pedophiles who could be brutalized for amusement. Why, it was a Golden Age!
"Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths or people with schizophrenia."
-Like those deluded, lying, manipulative, scheming and violent fundies you hear about, then?
Apologies for going off-topic, but -
Q: What does a lesbian bring on the third date?
I've seen this before (at least once here), but I have no idea what it means. Can someone enlighten me please?

She's bringing her U-Haul, because she's moving in with her new partner.
The Fifties were the "good old days"? Well, if you were male, straight, and white, maybe. But I think Ol' Bob here has bought into the common misconception of the Fifties being the Golden Era of Morality. Well, Bob, here's a little factual tidbit to put you on the path of reality:
"...all time high of 96 births per 1,000 women aged 15-19 in 1957..." (http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/tgr/05/1/gr050107.html )
How does that work for you, Bob? The highest rate of teen pregnancy in the 20th century was recorded smack in the middle of your precious "good old days."
Repression is not a good thing, Bob...it makes people sad and sick and not entirely unlike sorry specimens of the species like you.
Oh yeah, the '50s also had Congressman Wherry, who did for gays what Joe McCarthy did for communists...
And the version I heard of the U-Haul joke was "...on the second date."
You can't say that stuff today, of course,
Sure you can. You have the same freedom-of-speech rights that others do.
despite the fact that it's still true.
No it isn't you moronic cunt.
/Wow, think of the good old days in the fifties when people could tell the truth about homosexuals--that they're disease-ridden, never monogamous, and ALL turn to pedophilia./
Then why are they fighting for the right to get married? And yes, it's already been mentioned that AIDS can affect anyone, not just homosexuals.
/You can't say that stuff today, of course, despite the fact that it's still true./
You can still say that stuff today, but the majority of people will laugh at you because it is not true.
/Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths or people with schizophrenia./
Not all schizophrenics are dangerous. Just because you're mentally disturbed doesn't mean that you're automatically violent. I'm sorry that we're no longer living in a "Leave it to Beaver" world that never existed, but there's nothing we can do about it. So shut up and get over it.
and ALL turn to pedophilia.
Also, the same thing was said about black people in the 50's. They also lived in fear of nuclear war.
You mean like how people like you "told the truth" about blacks?
"that they're disease-ridden, never monogamous, and ALL turn to pedophilia."

<i>Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths</i>
You are aware the term 'sociopath' has been discredited, and replaced by more specific conditions -- many of which, if caught early, can be mitigated to a level where the 'sociopath' can live a normal life?
Wow, think of the good old days in the fifties when people could tell the truth about niggers--that they're disease-ridden, never monogamous, and less intelligent than whites. You can't say that stuff today, of course, despite the fact that it's still true. Imagine if we had to pretend there was nothing wrong or dangerous about (other) sociopaths or people with schizophrenia.
Fixed that for ya. Do you still think you sound sane, Bobby?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
