Just telling you what I have observed. You need pretty thin skin to actually be offended by Folau, but there is a long line of people who claim it "is offensive".

so no one was offended then FD? is that what you're claiming?

I'm sure if you looked real hard you could find someone.

I doubt you have to look very hard. Lots of gay people are struggling to reconcile their sexual preferences with their faith. Folaus comment was offensive to many of them ... but you think their opinion doesn't matter why, is it because they're gay?

Also, given that you've acknowledged that people were offended (despite your best efforts to avoid doing so) why is it that you write off other people supporting them as being 'conditioned'? Is empathy something you've never experienced?

Be offended as much as you like.

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read. If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people. I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it. To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”

So for all the offended people - you have worked very hard to be offended.

Now F orff.

Don't be gay. And if you are, mend your ways.

Homosexuality was a mental aberration until the 1970s and then due to sustained POLITICAL (not scientific) manipulation and pressure it became a nondeviance.

There is a huge spectrum of human behaviour and an almost as huge spectrum of sexual quirks and fetishes. This is not surprising for the sole species with imagination.
We also have ethical frameworks and some of the deviations and quirks are outside those ethical parameters. We are not accommodating every sexual taste so a line is drawn somewhere.
For some people the line is before homosexuality, for others, beyond it. In a democracy like ours you can say where you draw the line.

Anyone who disagrees with me should repent or else will go to hell.

Your loving friend,
Frank

Empathy and homofascism are not the same thing. You don' t have to destroy freedom of speech to show empathy. That's virtue signalling.

not personally, I couldn't care less what any bible bashers thinks. That doesn't mean he should be allowed to get away with attacking others.

Nah, no need to go that far. Just look at the number of people who have never watched a game of rugby crying over folaus sacking. That's where I'd start if you want to see butthurt. They're so butthurt they're donating money to millionaires Cheesy

Virtue signalling is also faux outrage disguised as fighting for free speech. No one is destroying freedom of speech. He is free to say whatever he likes. He just wasn't free to post some of it on social media. He was free to sign, or refuse to sign, a contract that restricted that speech. No one made him sign it, he agreed to impose those restriction on his speech in exchange for $4m on himself. If he was so worried about his religion, he should have walked away and gone to play for some other country where they wouldn't have imposed restrictions on what he posts on facebook.
