I've thought about it and even though it sort of goes against what I've already said and what everyone else has said too, I believe he isn't wrong to believe what he believes and to be who he is.
Honestly, I believe people can only ever be themselves and that change should not be forced upon them, for any reason, however much we may beg to differ.
If you believe in a god, and believe he/she made you gay and who you are, then he/she made WheresTheLove the way he was supposed to be made, and trying to change him would technically be against your beliefs.
I'm not agreeing with him about the Beauty Vs Ugly factor, as I honestly do not associate Beauty with perfection or attractiveness, but I will not try to change his view point.
I will express mine of course, and many will disagree, it's human nature of course, but none-the-less, it's mine and while it's neither right or wrong, it's there.
Y'all can disagree with me if you like, as I said, it's in our nature to disagree as well as agree, but I sincerely believe this.
If I were in his position, with his problems, be it mental/emotional/physical/etc, and his experience of life and what not, I wouldn't want further degragation and feeling like my opinions and who I am, is wrong.
Sometimes people say things here that upset me alittle as well, although I think I'm strong enough mentally to cope with whatever comes my way.
Who's to say he is as well? Though you all mean well and I certainly am not against any of you, he may take it as an attack, because so many of us are opposing his view point and he say's he has mental issues, and the last thing I'd personally want, is to know or probably not know, that I even remotely helped push him to harm himself or even worse, kill himself.
Even if he is lying and or whatever. You never know, which is why I try to be nice to everyone. To brighten their day, even infintismally, perhaps even make them smile or laugh. Because you never know what the person in front of the monitor has gone through and will take seriously or not.
Again, I don't believe any of you were intentionally trying to hurt him, but some of the comments are a tad bit on the assertive/oppressive side and I wouldn't want him to be hurt by them and do something regretable.
I believe everyone is right and wrong, and neither at the same time, because our opinions are ours and shouldn't be changed, because they are what makes us who we are.
Perhaps he needs to take into consideration, that not everything revolves around beauty/uglyness, but if he believes what he believes, it makes no sense to push him to change his views. It may do more harm than good.
I just want for everyone to be happy, even though that's technically impossible. It's hard to describe really. A paradox of sorts.
Kisses everyone

Oh sir

This is one of the things I do not agree with, especially in regards to one's knowledge of one's self and how one thinks.
I had to grow up fast and early, so I might be an exception somewhat, but I've met many kids my age who have more maturity in their pinkies, than some adults do in their entire bodies.
I fear adults, who by the way were once children/teens themselves, have been told as children/teens that they were just that, children/teens and therefore not capapable of "adult intellect", but that is a folly.
Intelligence & Wisdom is not just granted to those of older years. Sure experience maybe, but you'd be surprised perhaps, by how quickly some kids of my generation and the one beneath me, have had to grow up. The world is changing and we have to adapt to it.
It's not back in the day, when Moms threw their children outside to play and forbade them to speak unless spoken to. Although, I personally wish it was, as I never had a full childhood.
But rather, it's a day and age when we kids have to know things the one's before us never had to know and we know things the one's before us never even dreamt about.
It's both sad and a reality, one which I believe some people have chosen to yet not to see.
I agree, some kids my age are immature, but to generalize and associate the word Young to equate to Immaturity is something I do not agree with.
I believe Age has nothing to do with Intelligence or Maturity. Even my youngest sister, who's 9, is very mature for her age. She knows somethings even I don't know and certainly didn't at her age.
Merely my opinion, however biased...
