coreyants you cant force someone to support something they dont believe in. at least he isnt saying he hates all gay people just for being gay. thats like me saying i love my friend who is a stripper but i dont support the fact that she is a stripper.
you cant hate someone for not supporting something that you do coreyants
he didnt say anything bad or uncalled for, and he's allowed to have an opinion
Okay heyitsmaggeeSam_Hamwich could you guys point out where coreyants ever said that Cole LaBrant isn't allowed to have an opinion? Cole shared his view on homosexuality, and Corey stated how he feels about it, because he Is allowed to have an opinion as well. Saying "Omg he can have a different opinion!!1111" about Cole doesn't mean that people are not allowed to criticize his statement and share THEIR opinion about his statement. Nowhere did Corey even suggested that Cole wasn't allowed to have his opinion, he simply said that in HIS own opinion, Cole's statement was bigoted. That is Corey's opinion and it is his right to have that opinion and share it. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism. Cole doesn't have a "right" to have an opinion going unchallenged. Freedom of speech works both ways. I don't understand how hard it can be to grasp that concept. Especially if Cole LaBrant is going to share such an opinionated view on a controversial topic like homosexuality on such a huge public platform as the Amazing Race. People are going to talk about it and say what they think. It's called having an opinion. And they are allowed to have one. Got it?
That's not what I said at all Sam_Hamwich, I was addressing the fact that YOU literally said "if HE believes its a sin, that doesnt make him a bigot." as if that was a fact, and that Corey couldn't possibly think that he's a bigot because Cole believing it's a sin "doesn't make him a bigot". If Corey thinks he's a bigot because of it, then he is a bigot to Corey. Period. Read your comments again. You were CLEARLY implying that Corey was being out of place for saying that in HIS opinion, Cole was a bigot for saying what he said.
Nah that's not what you were doing. You were heavily implying to Corey that he couldn't have an opinion on Cole's statement. That's not you "stating your opinion on the entire situation", that's you saying that Corey can't have an opinion. Sam_Hamwich
And look at you playing victim now. That's cute. You were obviously acting like a hypocrite, and now you're doing the same thing, "Stop criticizing me, only myself and people who think like me can share their opinion. Now let me imply without stating explicitly that you are wrong for having an opinion on the matter so I can try to shut you up, and then I will play the victim when people point out that they can have an opinion too."
It's okay though, at least I called you out on your hypocrisy, have a nice day!
Etienne
I'M THE HYPOCRITE? lets recap what happened here
Cole Labrant made a statement
Corey voiced his opinion on that statement and why he felt that was wrong
then I voiced MY opinion on COREY'S statement and why I felt that was wrong
but yet my way is bad and his is good?? that's the hypocritical part bro, either they are both good or both bad, pick a side
Sam_Hamwich You didn't voice your opinion on Corey's statement, instead you strongly implied that Corey was wrong for voicing his opinion on Cole's statement.
You saying your opinion about the situation would more look something like: "I think you are wrong and that Cole's statement wasn't bigoted."
But here you were saying "OMG STOP, Cole has a right to his own opinion!!! Stop criticizing him on his opinion!!!"
You were telling Corey that he shouldn't criticize Cole for his statement. That isn't you saying your opinion, that is you telling Corey that HE can't have his opinion.
Etienne you dont have clue of knowing HOW i meant anything I said, do you? no, so stop acting like you know exactly how my words were intended
I disagreed with Corey's point of view, but I know he's allowed to have it, just like I am too. You cant just criticize someone's statement and then expect everyone to agree with you. Stop acting like a hypocrite for your friend and please find something better to do with your time then picking fights on a website that have nothing to do with you
Again, Sam_Hamwich your comments are up there and you were clearly implying that Corey was wrong for saying that he didn't agree with Cole's statement. You can backtrack all you want and claim that isn't what you meant, but that is what you seemed to imply with your comments. I'm not acting like a hypocrite, you are. I defended Corey's right to have his own opinion, while you berated him for having that opinion. Nowhere did I ever say that you couldn't have your opinion, I simply said that Corey was allowed to voice his opinion on the matter even if you don't agree with him.
Etienne where did I ever berate him for having an opinion? I stated my side on the issue and why I felt like he was saying was incorrect
it's only "clear" to you because you're being hypocritical towards your friend
etienne calling someone homophobic and a bigot is very slanderous. if you're going to use that type of derogatory language, you need to have concrete proof that it is true. in this case, it isn't.
