    It's because a large portion of the black male population spends time in jail. DL guilt to cover up the sin.

    At least they don't throw them from rooftops, I guess.

    Comedy is wasted on the left, and clearly the video was not viewed ;)

    cd8ed,

    So once again you are given the studies and once again you ran away from them. You couldn't even muster up the courage to quote them. That's how pathetic your argument is.

    You even cut out my entire argument proving your BS article was 100% false about blacks having mental issues because they are black when they even listed the reasons in the article. Its why you didn't link to it hoping I wouldn't find it.

    On your fabrication that the same number of people who voted in homosexuality as a mental illness were the same minority that voted against it: A complete and total fabrication which once again you cannot prove. Same old BS from someone who simply makes up statements then runs away from supporting them with facts.

    Your entire argument is to scream I'm wrong, ignore the evidence and provide none of your own.

    Welcome to ignore. There is no reason to continue debating someone who can't even address the studies given to them or argue with any facts of their own beyond their biased opinion while removing the factual responses given to them from their response.

    It is the ultimate sign of a defeated opponent.

    com·po·nent
    kəmˈpōnənt/
    noun
    1. 1.
      a part or element of a larger whole, especially a part of a machine or vehicle.

    Are anxiety, depression and suicide components of mental illness? Yes.

    Does mental illness as a definition define itself as having more than one mental issue component before being defined as such? Yes

    So once again you are wrong. This obsession of yours with word games is really pathetic but easy to defeat.

    I'm not interested in their political statement.

    Now you're getting it. None. So why was it changed without any science behind it? Try answering that one.

    No.

    Erm... what?

    Nor am I. We're talking about their clinical statements.

    Yes, it was declared a mental illness with zero scientific backing but on the basis of socio-political bias. All that was required to have it legitimately removed was for that to be recognised. For any condition to be formally defined as any form of illness in DSM requires positive evidence showing it to be such. Unless that happens for homosexuality, it shouldn't be included.

    Wrong again. Read a dictionary.

    If you can't contemplate the response just admit it and move on.

    So where are they? Where is your evidence?

    Please read your history. That wasn't the reason.

    And you think that's a good reason? Because we feel like it?

    Let's assume you are correct. So you are admitting the evidence was there to prove it was a mental illness but no evidence is required to remove it. How does that make sense?

    You obviously need to educate yourself on the studies I provided both past and present. You've already admitted they removed it with no science to back up that removal so where is your evidence they had no studies to put it on there as a mental illness in the first place? That's a lot of claims you are making with no evidence whatsoever to support you.

    20th page of you ignoring a simple request to post a source that states "homosexuality is a mental illness".

    People don't get to "vote" on what is a mental illness, there are criteria.

    I bask in you ignoring me, ultimate defeat indeed lol. Hopefully this time isn't a lie like the last two times you have threatened it, don't worry - I will still call out your bs, even if you are too cowardly to address it :wink:

    No, I’m saying it was included as a disorder in the very first DSM with no specific evidence and so it was on that lack of evidence it was removed. Various studies were published after its initial inclusion reaching all sorts of different conclusions but clearly none of them have been definitive enough for the profession as a whole to consider homosexuality a disorder again.

    You’re making the positive claim. What scientific evidence are you saying was specifically cited used to justify the initial inclusion of homosexuality in the first edition of DSM?

    Anyone can walk on water.

    It's called "ice". It may not be in liquid form, but it is still water.

    So a couple of people tweeted, and a couple more posted on facebook, and you jumped to the conclusion that "all liberals are intolerant now" ?

    Well thanks there Sherlock. Way to build a case out of thin air ;)

    As anyone who's seen my posts can probably guess, I'm a pretty left leaning guy. I don't think there should be any particular group that is off-limits to comedy, and those who are offended by Dave's standup would be spending their time on something else.

    Any given group will never be accepted fully until a comedian can point to something that's funny and proceed to point it out in good humor.

    I can totally see being upset if a comedian is making fun of a group maliciously, but that's not what happened here. Intent matters, context matters and zero tolerance to having a pet group being involved with humor, at some point, does your cause more harm than good.

    Evidently, the group doing the homo and transphobic humor is what matters.

    semi off topic, but I actually found it quite (extremely) ODD when Chris Rock hosted the Oscar so white show last year knowing some of the language that he used in his stand up routines, and we're not talking just using the N word, but extremely harsh derogatory negative and racist comments about his race during his "bring the pain" standup routine.

    Humor yourself and youtube Bring the Pain and skip to 29.30 and listen for a few minutes, he was loudly cheered for his comments by a mostly black audience, and then.... this guy was asked to host the oscars a few years later...and now all of a sudden chappelle has to deal with this? makes absolutely zero sense.

    If Chris Rock was a white dude and had done that routine, he would still be ostracized by 90% of the world for those comments. Hypocrisy at its worst?

    moral to the story, no worries, Chapelle will be hosting a LBGT event soon enough.

    The amount of fake outrage now days is just flat out ridiculous. I have become so much more of a loner as I have purposefully dwindled down my group of friends to people who can have an actual conversation without looking for something to be angry about.

    It's fairly obvious. Either everyone can make homo jokes or they can't.
