@spartaman64, @mr moose,

 

Do either you do define Islam as homophobic? How about Catholicism? Judaism?

By the psychological definition of the word no, by the colloquial usage yes.  Some people are naturally repulsed by the idea, this is not a phobia,  not going near a house you know gay people live in is a phobia.

Yes but not all followers of the religions are homophobic

The majority demonstrably are. I don't know of a single nation under islamic religious law, that "tolerates" homosexual behavior with anything other than the death penalty. Often by public lynching.

 

My point here is that we must allow religious freedom in a supposedly "free" society. How do we address such beliefs, when certain religions react to such behavior with immediate and unquestioned violence? Which side do we take, if any?

But that is not a mental condition.  It is illogical to point to a chemical trait and make claims about it's relevance to psychology.

Very few of the Islamic population lives in those countries just like how very few Christians live in countries under Christian law

I'd ask you to cite your sources on that one. Pakistan would beg to differ.

 

The majority of islamic peoples, live within nations governed by Islamic law as far as I am aware. Are you suggesting that the majority of people living in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan, are not in fact, followers of Islam?

 

I think that would have a severe impact on the laws of those nations.

Exactly phobic doesn't have to be talking about a mental condition

Pakistan law is based on British law. Does Sharia law influence some of their laws yes but you can't say Pakistan is under sharia law anymore than the United States is under the 10 commandments

WTF?  This whole topic centres around a mental condition, that is what all definitions of homophobic are.  They refer to the state of mind of ones response to homosexuality.  If that isn't considered a condition of the mind then I don't know what does.

 

You have been trying to conflate this issue with all sorts of irrelevant things like chemistry and hobbies (audiophile), but the reality is none of that is relevant.  This is a mental condition that has been studied since the late 19th century.  Even the current colloquial definition describes a mental process.

 

EDIT: to be more to the point, if you are not talking about phobia as a mental process then you are not talking about homosexuality at all, which means your entire argument is fluff.

That's not what we are talking about. You have made the claim that the majority of "people who follow the religion of Islam" do not in fact live in countries under the laws of that religion.

 

Either provide proof of your assertion, or acquiesce to the point that the majority of people who follow islam live under the laws of islam, which could be described as homophobic.

 

 

OR.

 

You could admit that it's possible for someone to dislike someone else for their way of life, without taking action upon that belief. For instance, I could have a dislike of lesbians, but still interact with them on a professional level without being unfair to them in a professional manner.

 

Which would be an accurate statement. I do dislike lesbians. That being said, I do not refute their right to exist or their right to live the way they want to. I do my best to treat everyone with a certain level of respect, despite how much I dislike them.

Can you make an irrefutable link between homophobia and negative actions against people "suffering" from it, and negative actions towards those who could be described as "homosexual"?

 

I very much doubt it. Some of us (although I wouldn't call myself homophobic) are capable of interacting on a professional level with those we dislike.

Indonesia Pakistan and India are the 3 countries with the most Muslim population and none of them are under sharia law. And ofc you can not act on it and be professional. Like my parents whose company is like 75% Mexican workers but when I got a Mexican girlfriend they wouldnt have any of it.

India is equally egregious in terms of crimes against people who defy religious and social tradition. I'm reminded of a model who married for love, her family disagreed with this marriage. She fled the country with her beloved. Years later, she went back under the pretense of patching up old wounds, and her mother and brothers burnt her alive..

Yes, we have been over this too many times,  Phobia in psychology is an irrational fear, phobia in laymen's vernacular is a dislike or hatred and phobia in chemistry is an opposing force.  what's your point?

 

Maybe you should address some of your claims which have been demonstrably wrong instead of dancing around the topic.

 

[leadeater]

The religious talking points can stop there, another divisive topic doesn't need to be added in to the mix and as you should know they aren't actually allowed.

I am reading them but you are being confusing. I never made any statement supporting it being added to the dsm nor supporting it being used to mean a mental condition in fact I think I made it clear that im talking about the opposite

You are confused because you do not believe in reality or shared experience based on what you have said about language.  The world is relative in all ways for you.

 

 

This is fine and all, but I do not see this going anywhere because you define reality in an objectively different way.

Yea no kidding.      I've heard some PRETTY DANK stuff from India.   The place is a mixing BOWEL movement in the making.   Some parts are worse then others.  And the sad part is?  Almost all of the time its about money for the parents etc.

At the end of the day I couldn't care less about the skin color or sexual orientation of those that contribute code. I do however want the best available working on any given project. If that happens to be predominantly straight, white males then so be it.

 

To dilute the talent pool for the sake of diversity is retarded on several levels. Instead of crying over superficial nonsense perhaps those whining should instead prove their merit. You don't walk into a job interview demanding they hire you simply because you are of the minority. Your credentials and past work history are far more important.

[toor]

Sooo much hyperbole in this thread, almost like some of you are quite young.  This "CoC (cock..?)", has no place in the real world for the simple fact it attempts to pass it's own definition of some pretty fundamental things, above the laws of everyone involved.   Believe it or not we live in different countries that yes have different laws.   It was written from the perspect that anything not prohibited is somehow not only permitted but _accepted_.   That is 100% bullshit.   There are lots of things we don't need to be told not to do, they are basic human concepts.

 

Do not confuse this "CoC" with -anything- you'd get from HR.  The documents you sign as part of your employment or contract have entirely different intents.  Not all companies for example prohibit relationships between coworkers.   That doesn't mean they encourage unwelcome contact, it means be an adult.  They are also legally required to notify Employees of certain policies.

 

Regarding the topic itself, there is a _LOT_ of disinformation being spread.   The issue is not that code can't be removed, it's that you can't do it retroactively.   The kernel is in git after all so while you can submit change requests to remove it, that code will remain as part of the archive.   The license could also be revoked if the existing GPL v2 were violated (it's not transferable). 

 

tl;dr (and very high level) - You don't own the rights to the code because you downloaded it.  You are given rather extensive permission to do whatever you want but ownership is not magically transferred to you.   That also means you cannot be sued for such use.   See SCO vs. <the world>.

 

 

[cretsiah]

This CoC's thing is just as bad as the SystemD crap/BS as far as i'm concerned, which also caused a major fall out.

 

as for the crap about homosexuals in this thread, i dont give a crap about your orientation,

 

being called a faggot insults you well why dont you look up the definitition of faggot and realise its something useful?

Faggot = bundle of sticks

now depending on the size of those sticks you could make anything from a fire to shelter to a bleedin boat.

stop getting offended by incompetence or lack of education

 

What I dislike about homosexuals is their misappropriation of words like "Gay",

do you know how hard it is to listen to beautiful old music and constantly get images in-appropriate for the meaning...

 

Gay means happy not homosexual. 

 

SJW's and the politically correct do have something to answer for at least in Australia.

 

In Australia it is usual to shorten words examples of such are:

Afternoon = Arvo

Petrol/ Service station = Servo

so along these lines 

Homosexual = Homo

Lesbian = Lezo

 

will people use them in derogatory terms on occasions yes ignore them FFS.

otherwise your feeding the dengerates

It's politically incorrect to call it a servo,  you will hurt the feelings of linear drive motivators who have been called servos for much longer than gay whales have been hugging trees.

A Faggot in the UK is a type of meatball, normally pork and pork offal, though can be beef, there is no fixed authentic recipe for them. Served with chips (no not those chips, they are called crisps) peas and gravy, yum
