'Homophobe' is a Meaningless word Created by Whiney Liberals

[BillyBob]

Did I once say he was afraid of homosexuals?

Re-read post # 2. The operative word is 'contempt', as demonstrated by his postings regarding homosexuals. He has an obvious contempt for them, which fits nearly every dictionary definition of the word homophobe. He's hiding behind the word phobia itself.

'Contempt' is not in the definition of any other phobia, proving that your definition of 'homophobia' is just made-up, liberal bullshit. If anyone is 'hiding' behind a word it's YOU.

I can't help it if he thinks he's right and every dictionary in the world is wrong.

But if you'd like me to stop smacking the poor little guy around for a while, so be it.

In this case Billybob has a point. It's not good to see conservatives accepting the left's vocabulary. A moral judgement doesn't constitute an irrational fear. I'm not sure why it's such an emotional topic. There's no "freakout" factor from me, an acknowledgement that it's a form of immorality.

Had you not quoted him. I would not have followed up on your reply to his quote.

I agree that Billybob has a point and rather than attack a particular poster, merely offered proof to back up his comments.

How does one fear homosexuals? Are they supposed to hop out of dark shadows and attack somebody? It means nothing. It means a fear of men. But men does not mean homosexuals. Women are also homosexuals.

Your mind runs not in streams of thought but in the mud puddles of life.

I do not expect that to be understood, at least not by you. If you read much, and understand much, there may still be hope for you yet.

First, Democrats like that term. Yet since their thoughts are almost entirely always wrong, I am not shocked they believe in such a definition. Second, I have not met any non democrat that hates homosexuals nor has fear of them.

Perhaps you speak of Muslims who simply would kill one if found.

Every word is an invented word, it convays an idea not bound by symbols alone.

If it helps you to read it as 'homoism' or some other word then fine, but to pretend that the letters used change the meaning conveyed is a red herring.

Say, I think you invented a new word.

Convay. Brilliant joke. Explain how one goes about fearing a man that does the nasty?

Well that was ironic xD

When you are told someone is homophobic do you think
A) They have a fear of gays
Or
B) They hate gays

If you think 'A' then as far as you're concerned the word would be 'right' if you think 'B' then that proves the word itself doesn't matter, because the meaning carries through nonetheless.

The word is, when broken down, wrong. In the same way the phase 'I could care less' is wrong when it is used to mean 'i could not care less'. Their are countless other examples of this, but what is important is what is understood, not what letters/words are used.

If you're using the term "homophobia", you're adopting the left's vocabulary. If you want to use fixation, obsession, preoccupation, shock, etc., that another conversation. What if someone were to call you "Islamophobic" ? When some uses the whatever-phobic in a political or sociological discussion, it's a manipulative tactic and generally not going to be an intelligent discussion.
