Why are people so shallow?

Question

Why do people feel the need to discriminate against others? is there any need for it? Why must insecure people take out their problems by "dissing" gays? Do you feel that being gay is wrong if so why?

Answer 1

I am what i am, and what i am needs no excuses! (you know that song)
People slaves to stereotypes are none of this, they are not what they are, but want someone else wanted them to be, and they believe those who are different and free to be themselves have to ask them excuses!
so sorry for these people@

Answer 2

Well, I think that people are inherently shallow because 1) surface reasoning is the simplest form of thinking, and 2) many people like to compartmentalize things, people, actions. This isn't necessarily bad, or wrong, as it is how people learn and are able to recognize aspects of their environment. Humanity as a race would probably benefit greatly from deeper thinking on a whole. However, American society in particular works very hard at convincing people to operate at the simplest level possible. This ploy is used mostly in order to sell products that if society was using adequate reasoning skills, would not sell.

As for why people hate homosexual people...probably the result of fear combined with ignorance. Most people hate what they fear because they feel like they have no control over the thing which is upsetting them. Lack of understanding can also gradually turn into fear. Also, many people have been taught that homosexuals are evil, wrong, immoral...etc. Depending on how old they are their viewpoints are probably not going to change at this late date, and they are more than likely teaching their children the same ideologies. Despite all of this I still think that some people can become better people by tuning out what outside influences are preaching, and looking into their hearts embrace what they know is intrinsically right.

Answer 3

Because the world, TV, magazines, bibles, books, all these things have put this imagines of what is the "right" and "wrong " thing to do but in reality we really don't know. Many people have been going along with that for years and century's, there is no way to take that state of mind out. Even tho we have developed and have become a little bit more open minded, there are just some things that will never really change. People will always be shallow...

Answer 4

There's always going to be people you don't like whether they are str8, gay or otherwise.

It's not just gays that get "dissed".

Before I came out I thought me being gay was wrong and only once did I ever think if only I wasn't but that was then now I'm older and wiser and a lot more comfortable with myself than I was in my late teens.

Answer 6

I think each person should live their life they way they see fit.
I do not agree with living a gay lifestyle, but I do not push my opinions on my friends who have same sex partners.
I treat them with the same respect I would hope to be treated with.
I think any discrimination comes down to subduing other people to make yourself feel superior, and the US is running rampant with ignorant people shouting out their opinions instead of educating themselves before they open their mouths.

Answer 7

I have absolutely no problem with people being gay. There are always people who don't like anyone slightly different than themselves, whether it's race or character or how people live. We're not all like that though, so I would concentrate on that fact and not let yourself get annoyed by them, just ignore them and enjoy your own life. Their opinions shouldn't matter to you, they're not worth getting annoyed about.

Answer 8

Yes, being gay is wrong. And I know there are some out there that will try to say otherwise. But, You people are always trying to defend something you know is wrong. So, to try to justify something you know in your heart isn't right, makes it a wrong. Also, It is just wrong morally and you know it. You are just wanting to be unruly and disobedient and live your life they way you want and screw all of what God said. This goes for everyone really even myself in certain issues in my life. I am not going to jump on the gay parades pink bandwagon amd condone it. Sin is sin and there is no getting around it. My cousin is a lesb. She looks like a boy. Dresses like a boy. Acts like a boy and will tell you straight up- she knows it wrong but she is going to do what she is going to do because she wants to and don't give a flyin f#*k what you or I or anyone else thinks of it. Not even God. I think that crazy. Anyway wrong is wrong. And in more intelectual terms...

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.
God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.
However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

Answer 9

the problem with gays is that they make such an issue out of being gay, ok u gay so f.uckin what? go screw someone up the azz. its as if they want to convert the whole wolrd to gayism.

Being gay is being classified as a life style, there is a certain way to dress and all that garbage (yes i knw there are some gays who will dress like normal people) but those that dnt are just plain crazy. acting all feminine, please man that sh.it is sick

Answer 10

Being a lesbian is great. I love flirting with all the ladies and, if i am really drunk, teasing the men. people find it difficult to accept things which they do not understand.. dont be hating on them- you go out there, live your life while they concentate on what you are doing.
