Attention to all Minecrafters

In case you're late to the party, there's a Game Maker version of it - and it's not that bad!

You can create/place/destroy blocks in the exact same manner that Minecraft does and move about, jump and such (But it is a little glitchy because you can slide between two blocks).

Not made by me - made by a user on the GMC by the name of "Whaddsoft".

In other news: I was suspended off of an art website just for supporting gay rights and disproving bigoted opinions provided by religious extremists. What I find interesting is that I said nothing racist (I didn't even swear) and they (the religious extremists) didn't like what I said, so they went and whined to the moderators of said art website, claiming that I was "attacking" them. Shortly after that, I was suspended from there for about a week - I still am - yet they were attacking gay rights in general, and as such, they should have been suspended, not I.

What bullshit.

I suppose butthurt 'tards will be butthurt 'tards who whine to moderators on a daily basis. Eh.

Oh, and inb4 you guys whining about me not supporting religion. I don't hate it, and the only reason why I disproved the religious extremists on that art site was because they were attacking people's personal preferences, freely throwing around the "you are sinning" and similar quotes such as "being gay is sin".

I honestly don't care if someone is religious or not, but when it starts stepping upon the toes of other people's personal preferences, that's when it's gone too far.

Anyway, I gotta go and work on my multimedia projects.

also, Sapphire Tears was a better engine than this :O slightly different with the clicking though, but it reminds me of ST anyway.

I'm not supporting what they were saying necessarily, but how does talking about how you're against homosexuality somehow amount to stepping on the toes of anyone else? They're not forcing anyone to do anything, any more than I'm forcing people not to murder each other when I say I think murder is wrong.

You missed the point that the people that I've seen that are against gay marriage like to preach about how being non-straight is "sin". If talking openly about how much (let's say for this argument) "I hate black people because they're a stain on modern society" (Which would be false and racist) is considered as racism, and is frowned upon, then why isn't talking about other people's personal preferences in a negative manner considered as hate, and is frowned upon?

@hel: You're just being silly now.

Because being black/some other race isn't a choice, whereas 'personal preference', by definition, is.

You can't judge someone for something outside of their control, but anything that *is* under their control is perfectly acceptable, because they chose it.

An applicable example:

Somebody accidentally trips you (causing you to drop your phone). They did not choose to bump you, as it was out of their control, so you cannot judge them ill for it. They are clumsy, perhaps, but nothing more. However, if they chose to knock you down deliberately, you most certainly can judge them for it - you are free to think that they are a bad person, because they made a conscious choice to trip you.

I'd like to state here that none of this is a comment on my stance either for or against gay marriage. I just find it bothersome when people bring up "why is hating (black people or something) wrong but having an opinion against [insert here] fine?" not realizing that [insert here] is usually a personal choice and thus fair game for other people's opinions :/

I hate people who use text-speak on forums, and that is a perfectly acceptable opinion because they made a choice to use what I consider a stupid and idiotic manner of communication.

Thats why one of the biggest arguments is whether it is always a choice.

DesertFox 14 years ago

@KaBob - and therein, as they say, lies the rub. If it (whatever 'it' is) is not actually a choice, then basing a negative opinion on 'it' is wrong as well as ignorant :3

And as such, because it's a personal choice, it's personal, and no one else has the rights to dictate whether it's the right choice for yourself - especially when it comes to sexuality.

Which is why I said "I don't like seeing people step upon the toes of other people's personal choices".

DesertFox 14 years ago

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a jerk who is trampling on your thoughts, so here goes :/

Your view of the matter is a bit naive.

Nobody has the right to dictate someone else's choices, and with this I agree. However, they most certainly have a right to form their own opinion of the choices that someone else makes, and to express that opinion - it is one of the very basic elements of free will and human rights.

Your question was not over the right of personal choice, but was over the right to express negative opinions about somebody else's choice. Expressing opposition to somebody else's choice and actions is just as much a right as it is for that person to make his or her choice in the first place.

Whether you like it or not, those religious extremists have just as much right to say that they don't like gays as much as people have the right to be gay in the first place. I don't agree with the religious extremists in their views, but as a famous man once said:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

In short, just as it is someone's right to be gay, it is also someone's right to express a dissenting opinion against gays, and it is your right to express a dissenting opinion against their expression of a dissenting opinion against gays.

I am not supporting intolerance. My best friend is gay. I do, however, support freedom of expression regardless of what is being expressed, so long as the act of expression does not impede on other people's rights. And no, disallowing access to a website does not break human rights.

Why does this just seem like one giant troll? Sorry, that's my reaction and that's the strongest one I've got.

DesertFox 14 years ago

@V - I hope you mean him and not me. I am a firm believer in the rights of expression, and I will express my opinion as I am allowed that right

Meta, isn't it :3

The point Desertfox is making is entirely valid. Everyone should be able to have their own opinions. If someone doesn't like gay people, good for them.

What are you arguing? Just on the matter of the site of discussion or the matter as a whole? One is based on opinions, and the other is based on rights.

I understand this is a touchy subject, and I wouldn't have bothered to show my side if I didn't feel 64Digits was mature enough. I'm not picking a fight, just trying to see where people stand. Because from here it looked like you did support intolerance, which is highly unlike you, so I decided it couldn't hurt to find out.

Anyhow, what I'd like to add to the argument is that it's not so much a matter of how much hate gay people get as it is that they can't live their lives like everyone else.
