People are stupid; given the proper motivation, almost anyone, will believe almost anything.” - Terry Goodkind

I have looked at this quote many times and I have thought long and hard about it. In doing so I have appied it to a few present day problems.

African American acceptance: it has taken a few generations but we have come to realize that people are equal, no matter our differences in colour and in a few more generations, racial hate will be a thing of the past.

Woman Suffrage: Now we except they are equal, and have very few people who think differently.

So now the question is: If we already know the answer to the question, why can people not except the fact that one day they will be the same as a homosexual person? Are people using and falling for the rule above? Do you even think the rule is a true rule of life?

• wow...

  i'm the first to leave an opinion...i've never been the first...anyway...i think it's the same process, to get everyone, or atleast the vast majority, to agree on a certain opinion, inter-racial equality, woman suffrage, etc...it all just takes a few generations, and i'm pretty damn confident that in a couple generations homosexuals will be considered equal...and there will be some other 'group' that's considered wrong and different and will be discriminated...it's a cycle

    The examples of the main tread are similar, but not the same. The first two, on blacks and on women, are basically the same, but the similar example given on homosexuals meant to be the same as the first two is not the same thing. A white male dominated society set up the discrimination of the first two groups. Through constant class, racial, and gender struggles the two groups have come to win their near equality. However, what seperates the last example, homosexuality, is what created this issue. While blacks are simply different colored humans and women are necessary to procreate and serve an equal function as man, homosexuality is not a necessary or dare I say "natural" function of life. This difference may very well keep homosexuality out of the mainstream for much longer than you expect or possibly forever. Homosexuality is at its essence a population control device which peaks when societies have too much leisure time and prosperity (such as the Greeks and our own brave new world).

    "homosexuality is not a necessary or dare I say a 'natural' function of life." Who said so? For one thing, there have been so many cases of homosexuality recorded in the animal domain and animals don't have a conscience. Are you saying animals are unnatural?
