Pew Research- worldwide majority view homosexuality and abortion as immoral

The majority of the people in dozens of nations across every continent but Antarctica deemed abortion and homosexuality morally unacceptable, according to results from the Pew Research Center’s 2013 Global Attitudes.

oh, here's linky linky directly to Pew

http://www.pewglobal.org/2014/04/15/global-morality/

To read the newspapers or watch the mainstream media, one would conclude that opposite results would have been seen.

Why do you suppose it is that the research shows the majority view the homosexual lifestyle and abortion as being immoral?

Do you think that we are returning to a morals based society and moving away from a progressive, anything goes society?

 

So what?

 

It demonstrates that different people from different ethnic, religious, and geographical backgrounds share a quality that liberals would have us believe is unique only to White Republicans.

 

that is an excellent question. This is a Political Forum as well as other topics. Abortion and the homosexual lifestyle are 2 of the topics readily discussed on this forum. Here is research done by Pew, certainly not slanted to the right at all. The results are interesting that worldwide, the majority views both the homosexual lifestyle and abortion as being immoral.

many times on this very forum we see insults and false statements at those who are live their lives grounded in morality. We see those people given the label of bigot and worse and told that they are a minority.

Well, this poll shows that those people are in fact in the majority world wide.

I'm glad that you asked

 

That is not quite correct. The link says it all. And I quote:

In other words, people in less advanced countries deem those things (including homosexuality) to be wrong. I think most liberals would simply say that white Republicans tend to have the "less advanced" part in common with those places. So it's not unique to white Republicans, per se. It's just unique to less advanced cultures, which happen to include white Republicans. There you go.

 

So basically ...anybody that doesn't agree with you is just dumb.

Did I sum that up correctly?

 

So because most people around the world think that homos are immoral you are implying that the word "more" when applied to accepting must mean that the cultured world likes homos but the truth is that very few like the homo life style but are tired of being called names and being threatened by the liberal horde is they do pretend to like their homo co-worker.

 

Homosexuals have to pretend and fool themselves into thinking they are in the majority when they really aren't. It's a form of self preservation and a defense mechanism.

 

Give it a rest. Your blather is so old. No one cares what you think and no one needs your approval. All we care about is equal treatment under the law. I know, you hate that too.

 

Again, not quite right. Sometimes dumb people agree with me. Just because someone is dumb does not mean they are wrong about something. But it does tend to mean they arrive at their conclusions without the benefit of logic and through the use of bad "facts" or some sort of crazy world view. That's what makes someone dumb, after all. Alternatively, plenty of smart people simply disagree with me, but at least we can debate the topic with some semblance of gray matter being involved. Unlike in this thread.

Well said. Is it bigoted to be in the majority or bigoted because you don't accept the majority's view?

Pretty racist to call most counties of non white decent less advanced just because they believe homosexuality is immoral.

 

Well no one did that, so your point is lost. But I guess you can take it up with the authors of the study if some part of it concerns you.

 

I'm only quoting what you called evidence of less advanced when you made your argument.

 

I simply quoted the study and noted that the less advanced cultures and the modern GOP have quite a few things in common. Not sure how that is racist, but it's no hair off my balls. I've never much cared what people call me. If you think I'm racist, cool. Doesn't really change my day.

 

Odd isn't it that you left out the other things?
Extramarital affairs- 78% unacceptable
Gambling 62% unacceptable

Now lets look at the countries that find Homosexuality unacceptable?
#1- Ghana- 98%
#2- Jordan- 95%
#3- Egypt- 95%
#4- Palestine
#5- Uganda
#6- Indonesia
#7- Tunisia- lets skip down to some of the major players
#14- Russia- 72%
#20- China- 61%

Not a single European country- not a single first world economy find homosexuality immoral.

Why do you suppose it is that the research shows the majority view the homosexual lifestyle and abortion as being immoral?

Because the majority of the world are either backward(i.e. third world) Muslim countries, or backward(i.e. third world) African countries, or totalitarian governments like Russia and China.

You must be very proud of the having the same point of view of most Ugandans and Russians.

 

I don't know if you are personally racist but to accept that a country in non white areas of the world is less advanced because they do not agree with homosexuality being moral is racist yes.

 

Hmmm I think you are confused. No homosexuals believe that they are in the majority.

 

Mod Edit ~ Unnecessary innuendo/derailing

Pretty sure Greece and Poland are in Europe.

And since Italy's Supreme Court just reversed a conviction of a 60+ year old man having sex with a 11 year old girl I wouldn't put your first world Europe on the high moral ground.

 

Well that's not what they said. Or even close to what they said. When you learn how to both read AND understand what you read we can pick this back up.

 

Mod Edit ~ reply to deleted

You did get that right

Greece 45% find homosexuality unacceptable
Poland 44%

To clarify for your- not a single European country majority finds homosexuality unacceptable. I thought you might get that from the context of the thread.

 

Jeff

please don't get all personal. I know that it hits close to home but as the study and the OP clearly states, the worldwide majority believe that the homosexual lifestyle and abortion are immoral. Please show to all of us how that is factually incorrect

 

They always have to find a way to make any minority look bad.

 

Countries should be more like Canada, Germany & France than Ghana, Jordan, Russia

 

Close to home? I am neither a homosexual nor would it be physically possible for me to have an abortion. I never claimed that a word of your post was inaccurate- I merely pointed out that you conveniently left out stuff like gambling that more of the world finds immoral.

I am perfectly fine with your moral philosophy being the same as the third world Muslim nations and nations of Africa, and with Russia and China, and out of line with all first world nations.

Of course you can believe that but their words and yours are there. People can decide for themselves.
