If you were truly my friend, you would respect my lack of respect for you. The nerve of some people!ThatDarnCoyote said:Here's a quote [http://www.hatrack.com/misc/Quotes_in_Context.shtml] from Card in an October 2008 article:
"We do not believe that homosexuals, by entering into a marriage, are personally hurting anybody. Where the law makes such a thing available, even temporarily, those who marry are not our enemies. We believe the law is wrong and the marriage is not, in any meaningful way, what we mean by marriage.
But my family and I are perfectly able to deal with such couples socially and keep them as friends, as long as they show the same respect and understanding for our customs and beliefs as we show for theirs.
Only when a gay friend demanded that I agree with his or her point of view or cease to be friends has the friendship ended. What is odd is that in every case they call me intolerant. They misunderstood the meaning of "tolerance."
Tolerance implies disagreement - it means that even though we don't agree with or approve of each other's beliefs or actions, we can still live together amicably. When we agree, we aren't being tolerant, we are being uniform.
It makes me sad when people are so intolerant that they cannot bear to be friends with anyone who disapproves of some action or opinion of theirs. But I believe that if we could only be friends with people who never disapprove of something we do, we will end up with "friends" who either don't know us very well, or don't care about us very much."
Yes, truly, this man is the devil.
It's hypocritical sentiments like these that elevate OSC beyond a simple bigot and into the realm of asshat.
Anyways, I've no desire to see the movie regardless of OSC's views.
