said a story how i kno someone (my dad) when he was working as a mailman in gay village, a guy who was very feminin got too close to him and said smtng like ohh look how pretty the mailman is, and my dad was 18 and ignorant so he popped the guy in the face and knocked him out
they all said it was wrong and stuff (didnt tell them it was my dad) so i told them my opinion on how i have seen gay people cross the line and touch people in a weird way but so have straight people towards the opoosite sex
and they all call me asshole and say that i just view the gay population as feminin people or wtv
so a girl said smtng like i dont get how guys say that about guys but like lesbian porn
so i told her stfu u hoe straight and my teacher told me to get out... the girls friend who i think is gay(he is always on top of guys somehow no joke) starts telling me off and shit bc im mean to girls and call them bitch and nappy headed hoes
fuck them
While I agree that no one, regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender, should be touched inappropriately by anyone else, violence doesn't have to be the response to it. Obviously depending on the severity a degree of self defence could be required, but I can't say if that was the case in your example. Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left and all that.
As for the response you got, perhaps telling that story (or perhaps the way you told it) on that day gives people the impression you are against homosexuals. Perhaps adding that you didn't think it was appropriate behaviour for anyone would have shown you weren't being homophobic. However it could easily have been interpreted as criticising or deriding homosexuals. By the way, this doesn't mean I'm on their side. Working on how you come across is just as important as the things that you say some times.
All of this is assuming you haven't made up the whole story haha

Have you ever heard of Darwin's Finches? Of course you haven't, Darwin Finches are a type of bird that resides all over the Galapagos Islands, these islands all have different climates, ranging all the way from deserts to snowy mountain terrains, anyways, the finches live in all of the islands, and overtime they have evolved their beak to fit the place where they live, the finches in the desert island have developed longer beaks so they can feed on the island's cacti, the jungle finches developed stronger beaks that can break through thick skinned fruits and nuts. Keep in mind in every other way these birds are exactly the same, except for the beak, and they all come from one genus of birds. How do you think this happened?
And about the giraffes, giraffes evolved long necks as a a result of trees growing taller and taller, over time the giraffes with the longer necks survived and mated creating a dominant trait towards longer necks, and they lose blood flow because of the length of their necks, when they put their heads down the blood flow is diminished because of the lengths the blood has to travel when the head is put down the rush effect is increased, again because of the length of the neck, very similar to any of us doing a handstand for a while, blood will rush to your head, the effect is simply magnified in the giraffe's case.
Now for another example, you want to see evolution? it is actually very simple, take any rapid reproducing insect, preferably mosquitoes and put them in a sealed environment what has increased levels of oxygen in it's atmosphere, after a few generations the mosquitoes will be bigger than originally and after a couple of years they will be more than twice as big.
Is that good enough for you?
Also i don't mean to insult man, but read a book or two, it will do you some good.
I realize it. I know about Darwin's Finches. I had to do an article about them. The only part of evolution I dont believe is how we originated.
I believe that god will help you when you are very desperate and nothing can help. I also believe that we weren't created by god but evolved from ancient primates. Im in the middle I guess you could say.

Oh and people are going to call you out about people with cancer and all that so prepare yourself.

In your example, god is just ones own ability to bring themselves out of a desperate situation.
