News Do you care if Israel Folau returns to the NRL?

[President Trump]

RA are just scared of losing Qantas dollars because of Alan Joyce. Most NRL fans wouldn't care what Folau's opinions are. Yawnion is of course the sport for PC tossers.

Why is that nobody else is expressing outrage about the possibility of going to hell for drinking alcohol or the other categories Folau wrote about?

Because the other categories are choices. Sexuality isn’t.

Yes wonderful advances they were too. Advances that brought us to the point where we can now rationalise that people shouldn’t be discriminated against for being born gay. Let’s hope Izzy and his pals advance to that point soon.

Our ancestors did not practice relativism and pluralism if that is what you think.

Don't really care if i get blasted for my comment, but why do so many people care what he thinks? I for one don't agree with him but it's still free speech and it's his religion and his beliefs. Just let him do his thing and go on his stupid rants, I don't see why anyone is bothering to bag him off cos i bet he doesn't give two shits about what anyone else thinks. Tbh I'd like to see him back in the NRL purely because he's a freakish talent and would make any team better however the Cowboys seem to be the only team in the comp able to squeeze him in.

Edit: LOL now i see an article on the homepage of MSN titled - "AB's player likes Folaus post"... f**k me the world is soft, report on some real news.

I think there is an element of racism to the outrage. In fact I am sure of it and it is outrageous.

I’m not thinking that. Not sure why you brought it up.

They also kept slaves and slaughtered Indigenous Australians as pest animals

Indigenous society before colonisation also did not endorse homosexuality.

Sure. Now back that up with some facts.

So what?

Cave men made fire with sticks.

Indigenous people weren't cave men.

You criticise the cruel actions of one set of ancestors against another set of ancestors as some kind of justification for a change of morality on homosexuality. Yet, both Eastern and Western cultures were universally against homosexuality back then. It is a rather bizarre argument you are trying to make to be honest.

Naah that’s you doing that straw man argument thing again. You can’t formulate an argument to support whatever case it is you are trying to make so you rely on obtuse comments. By the way am I still a relativist?

WTF? He's suggesting because something wasn't ok then it's not ok now. Pitting East v West historically isn't remotely relevant here.

Apparently it’s all ‘relativism’s’ fault

One of your more intelligent posts T.

Do I?

Or am I just pointing out that our ancestors were more primitive people, with more primitive ideas?

Here's a hint, it's that one, not whatever half-arsed obfuscation you've attempted to spin.

Also, universally against homosexuality? Have you ever studied a history book? The Greeks and Romans certainly weren't. Most cultures didn't give a shit. Hell, even the Christians didn't care a jot about who you rooted until about the 12th century.

Then we can get on to homosexuality in nature, if you like.

Do you even know what the word even means?
