Me and my roommate were talking nonsense while playing yesterday and he asked me a pretty tough question; "If you could, would you cure homosexuality?".
Now my response was obviously "No, why the hell would I do that?", but he continued and said that if you could cure homosexuality, you'd end a whole lot of suffering around the entire world. I thought about it and said that I'd rather cure ignorance and stupidity, as that would end nearly all suffering. He agreed, but he also made a really good point. It's nearly impossible to cure stupidity and ignorance, because to do that we'd have to cure greed first (everyone shares their resources = free education for everyone), but if homosexuality is indeed not a choice, it has to be genetic, and if it is genetic, it's just a matter of science to "fix" it.
I think I'm still sticking with my "No", it may be a bit selfish, but I like the variety gay people add to the world, and I think it's only a matter of time until gay-bashing is just another uncomfortable chapter in human history.
What about you? If it meant you could end the suffering of millions of people, would you cure homosexuality?
EDIT: I feel I should add that this is a hypothetical question. Assume that no one knows you have the cure, because as a guy stated, that could cause an overdrive of gay hatred which means the cure would be the only solution.
Also; if you think it's a "loaded question" (damn right it's loaded) and that's why you won't answer it, you just might be too dumb (you know who you are) to get the point of difficult hypotheticals. Hint: They're meant to be uncomfortable to answer.
EDIT2: I feel that this pertains to probably way more than 90% of you, but I'm just gonna leave this here in hopes that the idiots will read and maybe realize that their rageglands are overworked. Though, they probably won't. The internet is primarily a nest for people with poor attentionspans and a strong need to shout their opinions (regardless of how irrelevant it is to the discussion): http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post33541058
p.s. I guess the idiots might not even have read past the title (EVERYONE KNOW'S IT'S NOT A "DISEASE", NUMBNUTS!) before they reply with their waste of words. Their attentionspan is probably why they clutter the internet with their verbal diarrhoea.
p.p.s. I know I'm not being very mature and I'm probably not helping the situation, but I just felt a need to vent (for the first time online; everyone get's one) and I think it's impossible for this thread to recouperate from the trolls and the angry politically correct kids (their motives are pure, but their brains are empty). Please have a good day, anyways!
