    As an atheist I recognise neither the concept of hell nor the concept of blasphemy.

    The one you've been making for the past 17 hours about how players might not wear the laces because they don't want to, but it's not because they don't support the campaign, though you're unable to explain why anybody that was for the campaign would refuse to wear the laces, as apparently they can support the campaign but not support the campaign at the same time and they can also agree with it but not support it at the same time.

    That's how much sense you're making, but as I said, none of them will refuse anyway (aside from the odd religious nut perhaps) so it's completely irrelevant.

    Some people agreed with the CTWD campaign but did not pay to join/wear the scarf or join in with the 19:04 song.

    What are we born? Are you saying we are all born heterosexual?

    Exactly, people born with a hormone deficincy may well be asexual, not their fault, they just cant get it on

    Why are you getting rattled? Is it because you can't understand that support & agreement are different?

    I haven't mentioned support.

    I wouldn't wear them if asked. Reason: non of your ****ing business but it doesn't mean I don't agree with the cause. I agree with the cause but won't support it by wearing laces. Same as my choice not to donate to cancer research, I have my reasons, they're non of your business but I'm in full agreement with researching & developing new treatments for cancer.

    Among those wearing the laces will be homophobes (homoists), proper arseholes who other players will have witnessed having a bit of gay "banter" around the dressing room. If you'd stick a pair of laces in your boots & walk out onto the pitch next to him pretending all is rosy & everyone in football is open to homosexuality then that would make you a bigger arsehole than him IMO.

    17 hours? Just for clarification post count on this thread, as I write, is 25-5 in your favour.

    I'M getting rattled? Have you read what you just posted?

    I think the crux of the issue is you don't understand the purpose of the laces. Anyone who says they support or agree with the campaign but then won't wear the laces is clearly contradicting themselves. You still haven't been able to say why anyone would refuse to wear these laces if they are behind the campaign?

    And as for the 17 hours, I was exaggerating for comedic effect. Obviously.

    If homosexuality was normal, two men or two women would be able to conceive without needing the opposite sex. We are all the children of Mother Nature and Mother Nature decided our fate is based on heterosexuality.

    So yes, I'd say we are all born heterosexual, as that's what humans must be in order to survive.

    By that logic, those born physically abnormal in reproductive terms are not only irrelevant to nature (assuming, as you do, a level of intentional functionality where nature is implicitly conscious and "deciding" anything) but are, by extrapolation, born 'normal'. Great. Good luck impregnating a hermaphrodite

    Of course I've read it, I wrote it. I'd question whether you have. You certainly lack understanding.

    There was a reason why players would be in agreement with the campaign but choose not to support it in my last post (I honestly think you've not read any of them). They may have principles. Reason enough for me.

    Just because you agree with a cause doesn't mean that you'd actively support the cause. Why would that be contradicting?

    CND, English Disco Lovers, Cancer Research, Anti-Racism, Gender Bias, Gay Rights, Lesbian Rights, Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, The Poor, Homeless, Conservation, Drug and Alcohol Abuse Issues/Addiction, Marijuana Legalization, Contraceptive Use, Suicide Rates, Women's Rights, Immigration, Multiculturalism, Naturism, Euthanasia, Waste, Management, Green Living, Human Rights, Wrongful Convictions.

    All causes people are fighting for or against. Many people are in agreement with these cause, many people don't agree with them. Not all that are in agreement will show support. That's their choice. To suggest you can't agree with a cause without supporting it is stupid.

    It really couldn't be more simple.

    Support & agreement are different.

    You're **** at comedy.

    Jesus wept.

    Donating to charity is not the same thing as being asked to put some funny coloured laces in your football boots, which you'd be wearing anyway, only with different laces in. It's really very simple.

    What "principles" might a player have that would prevent them from doing it?

    If it's a choice then you're saying people become gay because of the high status they'll get in life? From the likes of you?

    If nature functioned like the bible there'd be no infertile couples.

    A physically abnormal child is irrelevant to nature, and definitely not born normal. The Spartans would have thrown them off a cliff without a second thought.

    I'm not saying any reason why people become gay just that they do. It may be a direct or indirect choice.

    It's proven by a study which found children raised by homosexual parents are far more likely to turn out homosexual themselves. It's also curable.
