Yep, another idiot republican goes and opens his big trap:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-04-22-santorum-gays_x.htm

I don't know what's worse, being a homophobe or being so stupid to make comments like this in public. If you're for or against gay rights, and you're in the public eye, wouldn't the smart thing to do is to just keep your mouth shut about it? I give this guy a couple weeks before he steps down.

I agree with with the comments. I don't think a man should have to fear anything for voicing his opinion, regardless of whether they are PC or not. Everyone defended the rights of those left-wing celebs about the war and their 1st admendment rights. Why can't the man express his. He isn't discriminating gays. He isn't predujiced against gays. He just doesn't like butt pirating. Nothing wrong with that. I want to know what my leaders are really thinking.

Not discriminating against gays? Perhaps you didn't read the whole article:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

He equating homosexuality with crimes; incest and polygamy, two VERY different acts.

How can he say that he has: "no problem with homosexuality — I have a problem with homosexual acts."

Let me get this straight....

Liberals, atheists and deviants of all kinds can make all sorts of remarks insulting the majority of the population. Condemning anyone who believes in God. Claiming separation of church and state whenever the word God is mentioned. Crying the state is forcing morality on them...

But the majority of the population is supposed to keep quiet when
laws protecting deviants and immorality is forced upon them through gay agenda legislation, etc.

You and your kind are a bunch of hypocrites. Is there a deviant that you don't support Sean?

Santorum is a good guy. The gays as usual twisted this around. He will not apoligize. Why should he? He stands for family values. People like you and the deviants you support do not.

Even the NY Times isn't making too much of it.

Sean.. you deviant. The AP misquoted him. The article above has his full quotes. Nice try asshole.

There are PLENTY of actual "deviants" I would LOVE to see put to sleep, like child molesters
murders, and rapists. But if two people of the same sex love each other, and don't hurt anybody, they're not deviant in my book, but Priests who rape little boys ARE, asshole.

They both have the same thing in common. They are GAY!.

Anyone with half a brain should realize The Catholic Church is a perfect example of what happens when you fill the ranks with a bunch of gays.

And who's fault is that? In that situation, being gay is not the main problem. Being told that you'll burn in hell if you're gay, and trying to supress that innate urge for years is the problem. Just goes to show how ignorant you are on the subject, being gay doen't mean you'll rape little boys anymore than it means if you're straight, you'll rape little girls.

16 priests named for first time in sexual abuse lawsuits

At least three still active; total of accused at 130


By Michael Rezendes and Matt Carroll, Globe Staff, 1/30/2003

The number of priests in the Boston Archdiocese accused of sexually molesting children
grew to 130 yesterday, with the filing of a rash of new lawsuits that name 16 priests as
molesters for the first time.

The new lawsuits, filed on behalf of 70 new alleged victims, include charges of rape, attempted
rape, and fondling of minors against 40 priests and a former church worker who is believed to be
a deacon. At least three of the 40 priests are in active ministry.

Also named as defendants in some of the suits are two former auxiliary bishops in Boston,
Archbishop Daniel A. Cronin of the Hartford archdiocese and Bishop Daniel A. Hart of the
Norwich, Conn., diocese.

They bring to eight the number of bishops, including Cardinal Bernard F. Law, who have been
accused of negligence while they supervised the abusive priests.

Law resigned Dec. 13, but the seven other bishops all head their own dioceses.

Of the 16 newly accused priests, at least three are diocesan priests in active ministry, according to
church records, and one is retired. At least 10 of the other 12 are believed to be dead, according
to attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who filed the lawsuits.

---------------------------

Now, to be fair, let's say 50% of these are false accusations. Is 50% a reasonable number?

That leaves 65 accused priests . . . in just the Boston Archdiocese . . .

That's an ugly number, man, an ugly number . . .

It's the fault of liberal idiots like you who think gays are normal. Yes being gay is the problem. They ruined the Catholic Church.

Perverts like you want them to go camping with little boys as scout masters.

You will just never get it. I'd be willing to bet money you are a gay yourself. There is no way a normal guy would defend this deviance with such veracity.

Why wouldn't the guy have the right to voice his opinion? Is he being discriminatory by saying that? No. Has he been caught discriminating against gays? No.

I don't see the problem.

Do we actually have to approve of everything and be PC or can we formulate our own opinions based on personal religious or moral views? I don't have to like everything about everyone. I just have to treat you fairly and with indifference as to your personal choices. Right?

You and I can. Yes.

The gentleman in question is a legislator. That means he does have to consider his constituents' and party's feelings before spouting off.

If the party and his district don't have a problem with it, then fine. If they do, then tough shit, a politician so stupid as to touch that subject at all deserves to go home . . .

Let me get this straight...

Conservatives: abortion should be illegal. Nobody gets to make their own decision.

Liberals: abortion should be a choice. Not required. Each decides for themselves.

Conservatives: Ten commandments are ok in a courthouse, because we are a christian nation.

Liberals: Ten commandments are NOT ok, but we are NOT a christian nation, but a hodgepodge of MANY beliefs, and nobody in the government should be putting one above the other.

Conservatives: Gay people shouldn't have rights above anyone else. But religion sure can.

Liberals: Gay people should have EQUAL protections against discrimination (not above), just a religion does.

Conservatives: No problem telling people that we should all be living by christian standards.

Liberals: Nobody *has* to live by christian standards.

Conservatives: Our morals are the right morals.

Liberals: Each person has their own morals, and NOBODY has the right to decide how others should live.

The difference? What liberals want does NOT affect individuals in their private lives. What conservatives want CAN affect individuals.

I don't know any liberals personally who *condemn* religion. Just that you can't put it into laws or regulations with the government.

This is not an issue of equal rights. You perverts package it that way. It's an assault on traditional American family values.

Moby... It can also be argued that liberals want to force their immorality on the population.

Issues like this should be voted on by the population at large. Not decided by special interests and deviant politicians.

Need a little help here.....

I read the transcript of the interview and I didn't see any specific reference or comment by Santorum that singled out gays...he seemed to be directing his comments against all groups which don't fall into the traditional "family unit" definition. Which is hardly unusual for a member of the GOP.

TRANSCRIPT
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030422/ap_on_go_co/santorum_gays_excerpts_2

It's not like he said "GAY = EVIL". Personally, I don't know what the fuss is about. At least he's being consistent, unlike NOW who originally was against charging the Peterson bastard with double murder b/c it would hurt their arguments with respect to abortion.

I'm curious how a gay couple next door could damage your family. I want to understand how the deviant hordes of gay men and women living peaceful lives will cause a catastrophic meltdown.

Please explain. Pretend I am just as dumb and backward and gullible as you like to think I am.

Stop giving me fucking rhetoric you pulled off another Website, and spell it out for me. Point form if you don't want to type, I understand how difficult it can be . . .

Is it the fear that little Johnny might grow up gay?

But that's just it...they *aren't* forcing it. They are saying each should live as they see fit. Nobody is telling you that you have to refrain from religious activities. Nobody is telling you that you HAVE to consider abortion if you have a pregnancy.

As far as the congressman... he said what he said, however he meant it. I'm just amused by how he's trying to justify it (regardless of what he meant). Should he apologize? Maybe he should just say he's disappointed that some people may have taken it wrong, but that he won't apologize for actually saying it.

Gay couple. That's a fucking laugh. You make them sound like Ozzie and Harriet. I guess outside of the bath houses they may ride home together.

Maybe a tiny percentage of them live "coupled" monogomous lives. The rest are deviant hordes. They deserve no more legal protection then a man who wants to marry his adult sister. It's wrong regardless of the propaganda your kind endlessly pushes on the public.

Okay.

So skip the "couple" reference. It obviously makes you uneasy . . .

You still didn't answer my question:

How does the lifestyle of homosexuals threaten the American family?
Is it that they make you uneasy? They offend you and your moral sensibilities? Offending you can't really damage your life unless you're so morally bankrupt that you will let it . . .

How do homosexuals threaten the American family?

Come on, you can do better than rhetoric . . . can't you?

HAHA, you just said it, equal rights for everyone. Therefore, there should be no "hate crime" laws written. Being gay doesn't justify you having special laws written.
I don't like women with tatoos across their back, should they be supported under the hate crimes law if someone did something evil to them?

I think there are about a dozen different points being argued back and forth.

I agree with offhisfuckingrocker, hate crimes are a waste of time and energy. Any crime is essentially a hate crime. I don't think anyone should have special rights, and I don't think gays want "special" rights.

Every homosexual I've ever met has wanted equal rights, nothing more. That means they want to be able to have spousal benefits. What the hell is wrong with that? My wife will have excellent healthcare when we tie the knot, we are happy about that. Why can't two homosexuals do the same?

offhisfuckingnut is right--equal rights for everyone.

Now, we get to argue about what really is "equal" . . .

This should be entertaining . . .

I'm not real familiar with what the SF group is doing. I'm not saying there are instances where it might go too far. HOWEVER, it goes both ways. Do some research on Cincinnati and what happens there. There's a reason it has the nickname "Censornazi." The extreme right is in control there.

Let me quess, you're off the med's today. How did "hate crimes" get into the conversation? Homosexuals want EQUAL rights, meaning they want the states to reconize their marriage, and be eligible for the benefits that straight couples receive. As for hate crimes per se, are you saying no additional penalty should be given to someone who kills because the victim was black, Jewish, or gay?

Their lifestyle does not.

Legislating special rights certainly does.

Every organization, religious and private, would be open to attack regardless of the values held by their members.

Every religion (including Islam which is the liberals current favorite and rabidly anti-homosexual) would have to comply with this so-called acceptance designated by law.

Legally protected access to children regardless of the parents values.

Deviants will be adopting children.

Private Health Care companies will be under financial assault with legal gay lovers being covered for AIDS expenses.

Institution of marraige would further crumble.

Hate crimes lawsuits crippling government and business.

More Gay Civil rights lawsuits given teeth with new legislation.

These are just a few. The damage would be much greater on society.

Are you a gay like Sean?

If it's their own children, they should have every right to access to them (aside from child abuse).

Can you give examples where it has been *proven* that gays having children has been detrimental to the kids? Not your opinion...but proof that has been accepted by the medical establishment and anyone else who has the authoritative knowledge of it?

*Every organization, religious and private, would be open to attack regardless of the values held by their members.

--Like these same organizations aren't facing attack by a thousand splintered special-interest groups as it is?

*Every religion (including Islam which is the liberals current favorite and rabidly anti-homosexual) would have to comply with this so-called acceptance designated by law.

--Well, I couldn't give a fuck what happens to any religion. Let 'em suffer . . .

*Legally protected access to children regardless of the parents values.

--Ever heard of private schools? All kinds of assholes already in the Public School System. If you think kids are safe now, you don't care much for children . . . cool, Johnny won't learn what a homosexual is. Good. Just hope he isn't shot on the playground . . .

*Deviants will be adopting children.

--Hell, Susan Smith and Andrea Yates had theirs legally, the old-fashioned way.

Worked out well, eh?

*Private Health Care companies will be under financial assault with legal gay lovers being covered for AIDS expenses.

--Not like those thousands of heterosexual AIDS victims dying across the country weekly . . .

*Institution of marraige would further crumble.

--Nope. The institution of marriage will crumble because men cheat on women, women cheat on men. If you can't make a marriage work, don't blame someone else . . .

*Hate crimes lawsuits crippling government and business.

--As opposed to lawsuits over hot coffee? Fat-making hamburgers? Damn those gays, they'll damage the court system . . .

*More Gay Civil rights lawsuits given teeth with new legislation.

--How about that?

These are just a few. The damage would be much greater on society.

Are you a gay like Sean?

--Don't think so. Maybe I'm gay like you?

Let me quess, you're off the med's today. How did "hate crimes" get into the conversation? Homosexuals want EQUAL rights, meaning they want the states to reconize their marriage, and be eligible for the benefits that straight couples receive. As for hate crimes per se, are you saying no additional penalty should be given to someone who kills because the victim was black, Jewish, or gay?[/QB]
It isn't a right to be married. It isn't a right to have benefits. These are all privileges. And yes, gays are covered under the hate crime laws. I am not covered under such laws. Where is the equal rights you were talking about?

Why should the states recognize their marriages? It is the vast majority of the population that thinks choosing to be gay is immoral. The needs and wants of the many outweigh the needs and wants of the few, unless you are a liberal.

All men are created equal. It is what you do after being created that brings about deserves and deserves nots.

Yes you are. Religion. (*note* - I don't disagree that hate crimes might be getting a little out of hand. Murder is murder, regardless of who the victim is. Along the same lines (and I might get flak for this), why does someone who murders a police officer made worse than someone who murders a civilian? I'm not saying they shouldn't...but doesn't this belittle the common citizen who was murdered?. Just a thought.

That is highly suspect. The *vast* majority? I'd say a large number (maybe not a *vast* majority) don't have issues with other people being gay. Sure, they are afraid of it...but they also know it's not their lives.

What Santorum said was idiotic. I say this as a proud RepubliCan.

Being Gay is genetic, there is no morality involved, it is what they are. Comparing consensual sex to the raping of children is assinine.

The Demokkkrats have done more in the last 30 years to keep the black race in thier place than the republiCans ever will. The demokkkrats are the modern day MASSA. Making sure blacks have just enough that they will always need them. Never giving them enough to do it on thier own, because then they would become republiCans. Blacks wouldnt need demokkrats then. So they make so they will always need them. The blacks have been hoodwinked by the demokkkratic party for years. Flame on! [Finger]

I heard you were born Catholic.

You are an irresponsible bastard however.

Didn't you have two kids before you even decided to get married? No drug stores in the area?

Aren't you the guy who begged people on the internet to send him money because you were $44,000 in debt and could barely feed your kids?

Don't you think spending money on your family instead of your toys is more important? Especially when you are in debt? Maybe you could move your kids to a better area away from midnight drug raids by the cops if you were more responsible.

One of these days your wife is going to wake up and leave you.

Isn't your name Jason? How much have you collected from begging? This is you right?

so lets get down to it

Quote:

No, I had two kids after i decided not to get married... honestly the only reason we finally did get married is because eventually it would be common law... why not have a party and get some gifts... marriage is just a piece of paper... i don't need this piece of paper to know i love my wife and kids... marriage by definition is an antiquated concept of a church i don't believe in... sadly government is ruled by the church so eventually they force you to be married, common law, or vegas quicky aside

Quote:

Hey thanks for checking out the site. It feels good to know people admire my work.

Never said I could barely feed my kids... in fact freelance work while irregular isn't too bad... add that to my wifes steady income we make out with out having to worry about putting food on the table.

I got the idea from the site from Savekaryn.com but she just spent too much, so i figured i'd start a similar sight due to bad luck...

I made some money too thanks to those who helped

Quote:

Don't you think spending money on your family instead of your toys is more important? Especially when you are in debt?


so what's your plan?

sell the xterra for less than i owe and still owe the bank money but now have no vehicle with which to drive the kids around?

that aside most of my debts came from before i had children... but my financial situation didn't take a nasty turn till afterwords.

Quote:

yeah a responsible parent would do that... didn't you read the part about how we moved a week later?

FYI the neighbor Hood was otherwise quiet... in fact it was rather low in crime... just that one incident... kind of like Brentwood CA a quiet upscale neighborhood till OJ had that one incident... but yes, that incident was enough to make me get he hell out.

I now live in a town home in huntington beach... in les s than a month I'm kissing this whole shithole called LA adios and moving back to AZ

hey thanks for bookmarking my site.

I have made some money... but not lately, just as the site hasn't been updated since shortly after it was put up... almost immediately afterward things really picked up for me... but thanks for your concern...

I took a look at the link you posted... it was funny... i haven't even looked at the site since i made that last update. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

So what have we learned:

1. NYMadman spouts things he "heard" as if they were facts

2. NYMadman has a very narrow and controlling idea of love. Sadly he will likely die a lonely bitter man.

3. NYMadman loves to take things written in black and white and then completely distort the facts to suit his preconceived notions

4. NYMadman has no concept of the economic and employment turmoil the Country is in.

5. NYMadman has no concept of change and resists it with a passion... he believes that because something is true today it will again be true tomorrow

6. NYMadman has no concept of individuality... the idea that anyone could think differently than him and be happy doing so is beyond him... he feels that no one who feels differently than him could possibly find someone else who thinks differently and be happy together(kind of explains his views on gays)

7. NYMadman is an admirer of fine web design... so much so that he will bookmark sites he really enjoys

In closing NY, don't assume shit you don't understand... admit you don't know and learn something...

otherwise you can just expect to get,

So why not sell the Harley? I completely understand not wanting to, but in the end, is it better to have two vehicles and a load of debt, or one and even more manageable debt?

Keep in mind - I'm not trying to judge you or anything like that. I've got debt, but if I got that far, the Xterra would be gone, as much as I'd hate to do it.

no i understand completely... but the harley is not a big deal... total monthly payment on it is a bit over $100, i could probably sell it and turn out about even, maybe a bit ahead... but it wouldnt make much of a difference and like i said im not in that bad a spot anymore...

truth be told the harley will get stripped to parts and the finance companyt will recieve a frame and the jugs (the only parts with a VIN) befor ei sell the bike, not that it will ever come to that... you see when i bought the bike i was in escrow, had just bought the xterra about 6 months earlier and the finance company got nervous... so my father cosigned... we spent a good 3 hours at the dealership talking and really enjoying each others company as men.. it was a great moment... two weeks later my dad died in my arms... the last time i spent with him was buying that bike... so I'm more than a bit attached to it.

as for the x... like i said i still owe mor ethan its worth... might as well hang on to it... if im gonna pay for something i might as well have possession of it

Where do people get the idea that most child molesters are gay ? I believe the vast majority are heterosexual in their choice of adult partners.

I think it is great that the republikaners can come out of the closet about their opinions, people need to know what they really stand for.

Madwoman, do you know what Psychological Projection is? This will be hard for you to understand given that neither the word "liberal" nor the word "deviant" is in it, but give it a shot:

"A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."

Okay, this is sooo fucking funny. The liberals on this board, (why do they all seem to be in Graphic Arts) are pissed off and calling for the job/head of someone for voicing his opinion.

Let that sink in hypocrites.

The liberals are mad because someone voiced his opinion.

Aren't you supposed to say, well that is his opinion?

Personally I don't agree with what the guy said, but I think you are all a bunch of fucking whiny bitches. You clamor the first amendment ONLY when it's something you agree with.

Again, let this try to sink in. NOT EVERYONE agrees with the gay people. If you like to suck the root, and have your ass pounded FINE. Everyone else does NOT NOT NOT have to like it as well. Practice what you preach. You can say you prefer sex whatever way you want all day. And anyone else can say they don't like what you do.

Get over it. We're not queer and we're here. Get used to it.

hmmm...I must have missed something. Can you tell me where in this thread anyone called for his job/head?

Anyone can have their opinion. When someone is in a position of leadership/power, they should chose their words wisely (for better or worse). How many people would raise holy hell (no pun intended) if a congressman came out and said, "Well, if we let the Christians run our country, we might as well let molesters, pedophiles, and murderer's of doctors run it?"

You know how many people would have a shit-fit over that? But he was just expressing his opinion, after all. So I guess they should just deal with it?

I was in escrow to buy a house when the dot.com i worked for was doing well... but circumstance appeared that made it seem that backing out of escrow would be the best move... obviously with the turn in the economy I was right.

Yeah, it sucks I hate moving... But i seem to do it a lot... I just keep hoping that somewhere out here is not gonna suck... I have finaly realized no where in so cal is gonna compare to AZ...

Nope...

your sig quotes Lev 18:22...

so you must know about What the bible says... I'm a bit confused about the following... can you please explain to me.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours.
They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for
her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of
mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27.
How should they die?
i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to
curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the
trouble
of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't
we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 12:05 AM

Talk about the two extremes! Almost everyone in this thread is so far one way or the other it's disgusting and in some ways frightening! Are you all really like this or just playing it for shits and giggles? confused

BTW, for those keeping count, I tend to lean more to the right for reasons that have nothing to do with the religious issues, gays, or anything like that. I am just smart enough (barely!) to see that there are morons and/or extremists in both parties. Hmmm, Cliton and Bore come to mind for Democratic morons. The two of them together were maybe a slight bit more intelligent than Dan Quayle. Or maybe not? confused again!

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 12:13 AM

im not way out to the left... but its definately more fun to take that stance when NYMadman gets off on one of his rants... as for Gay rights... i do support Gay rights... but As a general rule I don't have strong feelings on most subjects(save for religion)
Posted by: ChuckH

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 12:26 AM

Nah, you're only part way out there! I support equal rights for gays but not "special" rights. This applies to any group. I also support freedom of religion and don't feel the country needs any religion pushed down their throats. Having grown up as a Christian I will be the first person to admit there are more holes in it than swiss cheese and unfortunately most followers are merely brainwashed beyond the ability to make their own decisions. In those respects I am not with the Republicans.

Anyway, the only real reason I replied in the first place was because of the way Sean worded his post as if to say "there are no stupid Democrats; only stupid Republicans!" Well, there are stupid people all over the place and there are certainly more stupid people than there are Republicans so therefore his statement is misleading and wrong. [Wave]
Posted by: Todrick

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 12:30 AM

no i am definately not for special rights... like i think affirmative action is a horrible concept...

the Gay rights issue is complex... the Christian Right liken Homosecuality to Pedophiles and rapists... so to them, Marriage is "special treatment"

The Left Sees Homosexuality as a human trait... like having Blue Eyes... so to them Marriage is an Equal Right

of coarse this goes back to religion and the fact that if religious bias wa sremoved from the equation Homosexuals would be allowed to be married... as it is only the Religious teachings that prevent it.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion, didn't Trent Lott step down recently because he too opened his big trap? Plus I never inferred there wasn't stupid Democrates out there (Gary hart comes to mind back when he challenged the press to find dirt on him). I was mearly emphasizing how yet another republican recently opened his big mouth before thinking first (and to get under NY's skin). I've stated many times, I HATE BOTH parties, and I'm sick of all the infighting in government today, and how nothing is getting done. This thread has proved to me that the battle lines of Democrate vs republican just get wider and wider, to the point where the common person has "Party Affiliation" on the top of their list when deceiding who to associate with.

As for homosexuality, I wouldn't say I was "for" it, but as long as consenting adults keep it private (key word here), and it doesn't hurt anybody, it personally doesn't bother me. I'm secure enough with my sexual idenity that I can talk/work with homosexuals and not let it bother me. There's no such thing as gay "cooties", and contrary to many of you religious types out there, a homosexual CAN'T make a straight person gay, anyone who "converts" was gay to begin with. Homosexuals are BORN gay, it's not their fault, and it's not something they choose on a whim. In this day and age of hate crimes against them, and HEP/HIV running amock, why would ANYONE choose to be gay? What I find really fasinating is how Madman said he received "info" on Todrick from others on this site. I didn't think he had any friends here, must be that some here had hard feelings for Todrick.

Mad man:

If you're looking for dirt on me, keep looking, you won't find any. I'm a straight male, married for 7 years, and I have a 3 1/2 year old son. I have three degrees (most recent a B.S. from Boston University, Bill O'Reilly's old school), I own a house and two SUV's, been working full time for 18 years, I'm a registered Independent (and I vote), and I have no affiliation whatsoever to any church or religion. Most of all I pride myself as being a free thinker, something you are not.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 05:03 AM

I read this whole damn post just to make a point at the end - wanted to be sure that I wasn't repeating what someone else said.

Basically, wasn't this guy just making a LEGAL POINT?? If a court rules that behavior in the bedroom/home can not be regulated by government, then anything else you do in the privacy of your own home is legal. Instead, the way to go would be to repeal the sodomy laws (like the majority of states have).

I thought it was simply a legal point? Maybe I haven't read enough on it...

WRONG again. See my post to Mobycat above. Where do you people come from. You spew forth all this crap concerning Christianity when you know nothing about it. Nothing at all. You have said you have studied the Bible. You obviously do not know the basics.
Who taught you that everything in the Bible is relevant to YOU? Maybe you should find them, call them on the phone, and tell them they are wrong.

Oh, I see....so the chapter about pork is for one people at one time. But the chapter on sex isn't? Pick and chose? Give me a break. If you live by one, you should be living by the other.

Isn't the bible a take it or leave it thing for you? Or do you take the bible a la carte?

So in all seriousness...please explain why one chapter IS for all of us, and one isn't?

I'm just sick of gay people acting like the world hates them and conspires against them. Just BE, and leave the rest of us alone. I'm sorry it offends you that as a man I like women.

Religion has nothing to do with it you hetero-phobe. What exactly are you afraid of, that our women will out shop you or something. Get over it already.

I agree, Chuck, there are morons and extremists in both parties. But Clinton AND Gore *maybe* smarter than Quayle? Wow, a bit of a reach there. Clinton was a Rhodes scholar. While Gore's "initiative in creating the Internet" was a definite boner, nothing matches up these gems:

I'm not singling you out Todrick... This goes for everyone. WHAT THE FUCK IS SO COMPLEX ABOUT THE "Gay rights" ISSUE!?? Gays should have the same rights as the rest of us. And they do. The problems come from people who think, for instance, that companies should be forced to provide health coverage for partners of gay employees. I don't believe the government should be forcing companies to insure anyone! It should be the decision of the board of directors. If gays don't like it, they can find jobs at Disney.

Other problems come from the fact that gays cannot marry in many states. There are a variety of reasons why this makes perfect sense. Marriage can change your tax bracket, people (straight or gay) could "marry" to work the system and gain access to each other's social security benefits, medical benefits. There is a much greater chance of fraud.

Santorum's comments had more to do with privacy than with homosexuality. He basically said that if two people consent to having sexual relations, and they do so in the privacy of their own home, and if the "right to privacy" supercedes all other rights, than legally, you can't punish anyone for sexual relations such as incest, polygamy, etc. Its a fact, not his opinion. Where his opinion comes into play is when he talks about "not liking the behavior." I don't see anything wrong with his remarks. I have several homosexual friends and relatives... they are great people. I DON'T like to think about the mechanics of their lovemaking because it disgusts me. Am I bigotted?
No... not really, I really don't like the whole poop chute idea in heterosexuals as well. [Freak] Yukky poo!

While you might not agree with his politics, Gore is actually very intelligent. He just lacks charisma in a BIG way.

(And I don't know how many times I've seen it...but his comment about the internet was not entirely wrong - even Vint Cerf (one of the original internet people) has said as much.)

NYM,
Qualye was as loyal as a dog. I remember the nomination by 41, he practically licked HDubya's face on stage accepting the nod.

In this great nation, even the term "Anti-American" is subjective. To you, apparently anything left of the far right is "Anti-American". To me, it's anything in the extremes.

On the one hand you say gays should have the same rights as everyone else, yet on the other you admit that they should not have the same rights that married couples have.

You agree that being married affords benefits to a couple. You allude to a possibility of fraud. Yet even though there is a possibility that hetero couples can commit fraud (anyone ever know someone who got married in an attempt to get a green-card? No, that never happens . . . ), no one can tell a hetero couple they cannot be married (except in rare cases where bloodlines are suspect, or age is a factor) . . .
Yet you think gay couples should be denied the "privilege" of marriage because there's a chance someone might commit fraud.

I got news for you: Heterosexuals defraud the government and its social assistance programs on a daily basis. I guarantee there will be unscrupulous gay couples working the system, too.

But not nearly as many as y'all fear . . .

I'd like to post my observation. It's the same arguments by the same people; it's just a different day. You guys go at it over and over and over. Nobody is going to change the other guy's views. All you accomplish is consuming XOC bandwidth and storage. Plus you get angrier and angrier with each other; more disdain, more contempt. I'm *not* asking "can't we all get along." Why don't you get a hobby and [Save the fine unicorns] . I know I don't have to read this stuff. Flaming me won't accomplish anything either, but you're welcome to do so.

There's no such thing as gay "cooties", and contrary to many of you religious types out there, a homosexual CAN'T make a straight person gay, anyone who "converts" was gay to begin with. Homosexuals are BORN gay, it's not their fault, and it's not something they choose on a whim.
SEAN, You are making Santorum's point!!!!!!
Here's how... 'As for INCEST, I wouldn't say I was "for" it, but as long as consenting adults keep it private (key word here), and it doesn't hurt anybody, it personally doesn't bother me.'

Until the country is populated by a bunch of flipper babies!

'As for POLYGAMY, I wouldn't say I was "for" it, but as long as consenting adults keep it private (key word here), and it doesn't hurt anybody, it personally doesn't bother me.'

Actually, I don't think polygamy hurts anybody, but its another example of what Santorum was saying.

'As for PROSTITUTION, I wouldn't say I was "for" it, but as long as consenting adults keep it private (key word here), and it doesn't hurt anybody, it personally doesn't bother me.'

Once again... I don't have a problem with legalizing prostitution, but for now its illegal.

As for homosexuals being born gay, that's not completely true. The fact is, a variety of factors seem to lead people to their lifestyle (including upbringing, genetics, exposure to priests laugh and experiences while growing up). Studies of identical twins show that one may be straight, the other gay. If the government ever recognizes homosexuality as a genetic factor only, I look for some homosexuals to figure out a way to use the Americans with Disabilities Act to bleed millions of dollars from private corporations. (just like everyone else is doing.) :rolleyes:

I'm talking from an intelligence point of view, and knowledge of subject. Not his view (which I agree, some are downright retarded).

As far as the internet goes...he never said he invented it.

From Vint Cerf (you're a computer guy, you should know who he is):

Last year the Vice President made a straightforward statement on his role. He said: “During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” We don’t think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he “invented” the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore’s initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening. We feel it is timely to offer our perspective.

As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship. Though easily forgotten, now, at the time this was an unproven and controversial concept.

if being Gay is an inate genetic quality... like having blue eyes... then they deserve the right to marry and get the benefits associated with it.

If being gay is a choice then the do not.

when the real argument is not about gay rights at all but about whetehr being gay is a choice or not.

I know I'm straight, and that being gay would not only feel wrong physicly but emotionaly as well...

to me that doesn't leave much of a choice in the issue

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," Santorum said.

Oddly enough, I heard that the word "gay" was added by the associated press to "clarify" what Santorum said. (That's probably why the AP put parentheses around it). Also, oddly enough, the AP reporter that interviewed Santorum is supposedly the wife of the campaign manager for one of the Democratic Presidential candidates.

You don't think that this campaign against Santorum may be politically based do you???

Read the quote again. The key word is not "gay" (which he did not use), it's the word consensual . Unfortunately, the press is more focused on destroying a republican senator than analyzing what he said. :rolleyes:

Todrick, the reason I disagreed with you is because gays already have the same rights as everybody else. They have the right to get married... its just that marriage is currently defined as heterosexual couples. They still have the right to live together, etc. The complexity comes from the homosexual special interest groups and anti-gay bigots bickering about how immoral the lifestyle is.

For an enlighted individual like me, the issue is crystal clear. Do whatever the hell you want, sleep with whoever you want, just don't expect me to get hysterical when a senator discusses supreme court decisions and his enemies misrepresent his beliefs.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 10:53 AM

I think the topic is a bit astray here... Please, people, read the damn article before spewing worthless crap about which Xterra owner is gay or not. [Freak]

Call me "liberal," or - in the case of NYMadman, call me a "radical" (haha) - but "Sanitorium" is full of shit. It's quotes like this little gem:

"'I think that while some elites may be upset by those comments, they're pretty much in the mainstream of where most of the country is,' Bauer said."

...that make me lose faith in our society. This moron thinks mainstream society supports these ideals? Um, no.

Or how about this one:

"'If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.'"

What is he smoking, and can he pass that shit? [Smoking] Exactly how far from reality can you be to compare adultery with homosexuality? It's an interesting Republican scare-tactic. God, think of the madness! Before long, we'll be in the midst of giant Democratic orgies! The liberals - excuse me, "radicals" - will be having sex anywhere they PLEASE! We need to put a foot down and stop those homosexuals from having sex.

And finally:

"'The basic liberal philosophy is materialistic, is relativistic, to the point of, you've got candidates for president saying we should condone different types of marriage.'"

"Materialistic?" [Uh Oh !] This guy IS a Republican, right? I mean, he's not just using the party name to get votes...that would be downright...Republican. I mean, we radical left wing wackos are always rolling down the strip in our Mercedes, while our Republican enemies cruise along in VW vans...

The point I'm trying to make here, is that this is an elected official. He represents the state of Penn. and, therefore, he represents a portion of our nation. When fucknuts like this start spewing how THEIR ideas represent the "majority of the American public," it makes me want to yack. Don't vote for pricks like this and we can get back to talking about differentials and tires.

I think you are wrong. Most Americans do not want to kill gays or ship them to another country or anything. [Spit] Most people believe what you do in your own home is your business.

Most Americans do have a problem with all these fucking rights they are demanding. Most have a problem with the gay agenda being pushed in education, special hate crimes, etc. and all sorts of legislation pushing this crap on the public ... all in the ruse of tolerance. It's bullshit.

It is wrong for 5% of the population... a deviant 5% at that.. to force it's immorality on the overwhelming majority.

Santorum can say what he wants. It's the deviant thought police like you that twist his words and meaning to suit your own agenda.

We now have a new liberal psychotic deviant supporter on the board. [Finger]

I agree. I never said that Americans wanted to kill gays! This is exactly what I'm talking about - Sanitorium stated that he believes HIS views represent the majority or the population, and he is wrong. You agree with me on that, "most Americans do not want to kill gays or ship them to another country," but Sanitorium does.

Quote:

So, you think they should have NO rights? Or no "special rights?" Is it YOUR job to decide when they are requesting "special" rights or "equal" rights? No, it's the job of our elected officials. When they do a shitty job of representing the people, the people speak out. So, I'm speaking out. It's called DEMOCRACY. I think your views tend to lean towards a Monarchy. "Just do as the king says, and all will be well."

Quote:

It is wrong for 5% of the population... a deviant 5% at that.. to force it's immorality on the overwhelming majority.
Where does the "deviant" come into the picture? Exactly how am I "deviant?" Because I use my head? Because I think for myself? Because I don't allow officials - officials that I did not elect - to speak for me? Deviancy and "morals" have nothing to do with Democracy, liberalism, or free speech. Perhaps it would help if you understood what the word means: "to stray especially from a standard, principle, or topic." Let me point you towards a prime example of deviant behavior: Our coke-snorting president.

Quote:

You're right - he can say whatever he wants. And, after he finds that he's not re-elected, he'll say something different to please the voters. My only "agenda" is to make sure fucknuts like Sanitorium don't represent me when they speak to the media, just like people like you shouldn't represent the views of XOC. "Thought police?" Brilliant. Because I think for myself, I'm considered "deviant."

Again, I think you're confusing your words a bit. Here, you use the word "Nazi" in a derogatory way, indicating that you don't like Nazism. That's good. Nazis are bad. I applaud you on that one. But Nazism and Facism are based on the principals that you embody - you don't like all this "deviant" behavior, where people speak out against the majority - but Nazism is just that: autonomous response to the reich. Maybe you're right - maybe we SHOULD just nod our heads and let our country be purged of all these "gays."

A sexual preference in no way should be elevated to a legally protected civil right.

It's not a choice (yes, I know, there are many factors). However...let's say that is the case, that it shouldn't be protected because it's a choice, then I want to see all protections for religion removed. Religion is 100% absolute choice. There is no denying that. (If it were inate, how did my family go from Quaker to M.E. to Roman Catholic in 4 generations?)

Come on Moby...

Usually you put more lucid points across.

Comparing gays to religion is absoloutely ludicrous and ridiculous.

Religion is not protected. The state does not get involved. That's it. We have separation of church and state remember. They are tax exempt but so are a number of non religious entities.

To make your comparison then regarding sexual preferences.. the state should also not get involved. There should be a separation of state and sex. That means no laws giving them any special rights.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 12:58 PM

I haven't been in on this argument so far, but I do agree with Ny Madman that gays do not deserve separate inclusion in the laws. I disagree in that they do deserve equality, in so much a hetero couple has. And since insurance policies and the like often require that a couple be legally married (through ceremony or common law) and gay marriages are not considered to be legitimate in most states, that is how the law should be decided. By state. States rights...

But, on a side note, NY madman, I really thought you dug into Todrick on a very personal level, and it should be just left out. Let's not let this forum and topic get too personal and too heated. I think it was pretty low to spew out his personal life here. I know some people cut you too, but just leave it off man. I don't know 99% of the people here in any way other than what they type, but the 1% I DO know are also human beings and deserve to be treated with a little dignity, and should return that to you.

This situation has nothing to do with religion. The perpetrator would be charged under the same provisions as if the victim were black.

You have a sick twisted mind Sean. You need someone to explain the mechanics of gay sex? It's not surprising that a sick fuck like you would think it is normal.

You can probably read about it in the instruction manuals your son will be bringing home from the liberal school you will be sending him to. They start them around the first grade up there. All in the name of tolerance and diversity of course.

Or maybe you can wait a few more years until he comes home from his first date complaining his ass hurts.

Apparently you missed the definition of the word "deviant." Again, it's "going against a predefined standard." Not the majority, mind you, but the "standard." There is no "standard" for sexuality. Heterosexuality is NOT the "standard," and don't even try to convince yourself otherwise. Read a book. Maybe you'd learn that homosexuality has been around since the Greeks.

HOUSING (From HUD's website)

Federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on your race, color, national origin, RELIGION, sex, family status, or disability. If you have been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe your rights have been violated, you can file a fair housing complaint.

Yeah...religion isn't protected. :rolleyes:

Or maybe you can wait a few more years until he comes home from his first date complaining his ass hurts.
I had a feeling I wouldn't get any straight answers from you, when you don't know something, you just get personal. Should I send my son to a Catholic school for brainwashing and the off chance he can get raped by a priest? That comment about first date and ass hurting, is that from personal experience? At least my son WILL go to a university.

Alright, I have agreed with some of your points in the past, but posts like this prove you are nothing more than a close-minded hatemonger. You are just as bad as the wackos on the extreme left. Anyone that is not exactly like you is a 'deviant' because everything you do is 'normal'.

Your personal attacks show that you just spew crap you have heard elsewhere, and can not come up with a single original thought without resorting to personal attacks. If you were any were as smart or informed as you seem to think, you would not resort to repetitive name calling, and bullying like you do. The personal attacks make you look like a total jackass. Instead of debating the topic, you do this when you can't counteract someone elses point. So, why don't you do us all a favor and [Save the fine unicorns] until you have something coherent to say.

I would in no way say that protects the various institutions of religion. For example the state has no specific laws protecting the Catholic Church or the Episcopal Church, etc.

The liberals want to add gays , cross dressers and every freak going into anti-discrimination laws. That would affect many levels of our society.

No religious organization that believes homosexuality is wrong would be able to keep them out of any social organizations they manage. Even the Boy Scouts would have to allow deviants who want to camp with little boys.

The gay legislation is more than some bullshit civil rights issue. It is an attack on every religious and private organization in America. It is the state trampling all over the rights of these individuals. It is wrong. Aetheists know this and support the gay bullshit because they would love to see relgion in America destroyed.

Nonsense. If that were the case, why can Augusta keep women out? Sex is a protected class.

IF they get government funding, it would be different. Private organizations aren't affected, if they serve a specific group. If that weren't the case, why isn't the Catholic church forced to allow women to be priests? Why am I not allowed into the inner rooms of a LDS church? Why are there still private schools that are all-male or all-female?

It's not nonsense Moby. They could sue in Federal Court. A liberal judiciary could interpret the law in their favor.

Why do you think both liberals and conservatives want to pack the courts with like minded people? Many laws are vague.

The Supreme Court has made many bullshit interpretations of laws. Roe vs Wade is just one of many.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 02:02 PM

OK Madman, I have a scenario for you. The anti-discrimination laws try to make things fair for everyone. That is the point of these laws. So say you have a black man and a white man applying for a job. The black man is a better candidate, but the employer hires the white man because he is white. The black man can the sue the pants off the potential employer for discrimination correct? I think most of us would agree that the employer was wrong for doing this.

That is all that most gay people want. They want equal treatment under the law. They want to not be discriminated against because of their sexual preference. There are extremists just like their were extremist blacks during the civil rights movement, but the majority of the population just wanted equal rights. They want to be able to get married so they can have the same priviledges that straight couples have. Forgot about your moral aspect for a minute, and give me a good reason why they should not be able to have these EQUAL rights.

You never ceases to amaze me. Most if not all the time YOU start with the personal remarks when you run out of intelligent counter points to others, and anything you get back, you deserve in spades. With me it started when you called me a "Jew hater" in a debate about Israel, at that point it turned personal.

No, the word "privacy" isn't in there. However, you can see the idea in several of the first ten amendments (the 4th and 9th being the most glaring examples, imo):

4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

9th Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

2001Frontier....

In your scenario... If a gay man applies for a job..how does anyone know he is gay unless he is advertising this fact?

One of the problems that gays have is they define themselves entirely because of their sexuality (and deviance...alright I said it).

They wear their gayness on their sleeves. Maybe if they stopped defining every aspect of themselves by this more people would be willing to accept them as individuals... not a lifestyle.

The special legislation they want is wrong. They already have the same rights as anyone else. They want their "lifestyle" rights.

Like I said, the "right to privacy" is a natural evolution of the freedoms enumerated in the constitution... I'm not opposed to the right, I just don't like it when a guy like Trihead implies that Santorum was off his rocker in saying that. Santorum was right, the constitution does not establish a right to privacy.

"There you go again"

[Freak]

Most homosexuals want EQUAL rights, they DO NOT have the rights of hetrosexual couples, marriage for them is not recongized, hence no benefits.

Let's say a woman and a man apply for the same job, and the woman is more qualified. And since a lot of woman wear their femininity on their sleeve, and not all employers like that, what if she doesn't get the job, isn't that discrimination?

From what I've seen you post, you SEEM to be the kind of guy that would have a problem with Santorum no matter what he says. (because he is a Republican) You appear to be anti-Republican.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 02:47 PM

No not at all. Thanks for the reply I am really not anit-republican though. I don't think I fit into either catagory but I was curious how it all comes out sounding on the board. I really try to listen to both sides of every debate. I listen to Madman and try to understand where he is coming from. I may agree more on social issues with the Xterrpin. If a Kennedy would have said the same I would have questioned that too. I really don't believe either side anymore. To much finger pointing and not enough working.

On this issue I don't think that sexual oreintation should be a criteria for anything. I do think that if a person is terminate/not hired for a job due to his sexual preference that is discrimination. I have seen in my company people loose jobs due to the insinuation that someone one is gay. Yet promiscuity is almost a must.

Double standard?

I really wish certain people could argue simple philosophical disagreements without resulting to cheap shots and insults... but then again, it is the ALR. Still, I think insults aimed at spouses, family members, etc. are counterproductive and do more to undermine a position than anything else.

Edited to add: No Todrick, you, Trihead, Sean and others that I somewhat disagree with from time to time should not expect a bullshit, cheap shot, "you're a pinko commie homo" type accusation from me. I'm above all that. Well, except for Graham... he's a big doo doo head! :p

I consider myself a republican. According to this "test" I am a little left. The questions were a little leading in ways, some of my choices wouldve been "it depends" as well.

Funny, I think I may be the only Athiest, pro-choice, gay is genetic not a choice republican on the planet. Three pretty liberal leanings I admit, but I still cant stand most of the stuff that comes out of liberal's mouths.

I will say it again, what Santorum said was idiotic and misinformed. Being Gay is the same as being straight. The gays I know struggled with thier orientation for years trying to be "normal", contemplating suicide, depression, you name it. And to the man (and woman), they said they struggled with it from a very young age. Because society said they were different and "deviant". Most of these labels are religious based labels, growing up religion free, I could avoid those preconceptions. I know three gay people, two men and a woman. All three struggled long and hard with thier orientation. They do not flaunt it, not because they dont want anyone to know, but because it is no ones business. They do not like the "Castro street" stereotype any more than you or I do. But they do believe, as do I, that what a couple does in the privacy of thier own home should stay there, and that goes for gay and staight. Santorum comparing that to incest was irresponsible.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 24/04/03 04:56 PM

Some of these responses are funny....

Anyone who thinks gay is genetic is without a doubt an idiot. What about deviants who have sex with animals? Is that genetic? Is pedophilia genetic? How about crime bosses? Is genetics responsible for their behavior?

It sounds like too many people here subscribe to the liberal philosophy that no one is responsible for their behavior. Of course it's not genetic. There are plenty of stories about people who have given it up got married and led NORMAL lives. Just like alcoholics, drug addicts. Some say that is genetic. Why is it people can give it up then? Its just more bullshit on the pile. Another excuse. No one is responsible for their behavior anymore I guess.

Environment can be just as responsible for gays. There are studies that show children who grow up in gay households have a much higher proclivity for being gay. More so then the population at large. Yeah I know, all the libs have their phony studies that say that is not true. Well it is true.

Years ago when I was on the PD I pulled a detail to work some Pervert Pride Day or Deviant Day Parade or something like that in Greenwich Village.

I have never seen such a public showing of perversity and deviance in my entire life. Anyone who saw this spectacle would never want to give these perverts a damn thing. Deviants dressed in thongs dancing around and on floats. Perverts half naked dressed like Carmen Miranda. The most disgusting spectacle of perversity. I wanted to shoot half of them.

These are people most of you want to give special rights to? I think a lot of you are ill informed or have never seen these deviants in their element.

I still am flabberghasted (sp?) that you equate those things.

Quote:

"The American Psychiatric Association (APA) maintains that there is no published scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of reparative therapy as a treatment to change one's sexual orientation," according to the the group's medical director Dr. Steven Mirin. The APA opposes any psychiatric treatment, such as reparative or conversion therapy, which is based on the assumption that homosexuality, per se, is a mental disorder or based on the assumption that a patient should change his or her sexual orientation.

I have actually been to a few of those things (in support of friends, or for work). And I do agree...some of the stuff is WAY overboard. I have also been to some events where, aside from the "title" of the event, you'd be hard pressed to know what it was.

And again...it's not special rights. EQUAL rights.

Anyone who thinks gay is genetic is without a doubt an idiot. What about deviants who have sex with animals? Is that genetic? Is pedophilia genetic? How about crime bosses? Is genetics responsible for their behavior?
That depends on whether you think gays are deviants? Since I dont, your argument is moot. So calling me an idiot is your right. I agree with you here on many issues, even though I can discern from your methods you are an asshole. Having sex with animals, pedophilia, Crime bosses are all things that are illegal. Being gay is not. Most pedophiles are hetero. As are most rapists. Its not my fault you are a homophobe, its not my fault some gay guy made you doubt your own sexuality during some gay pride rally. I gather from your attitudes that you are an older man, you say you used to be a cop, so you most likely retired right? If not, the only other thing I could think of is that you were dismissed because your prejudice of phobias are very close to the surface. We cant have a cop going around beating up all the gays and liberals. Maybe you were the guy that fucked that haitian in he ass with the nightstick.

Dont call me an idiot. [Finger]

I still am flabberghasted (sp?) that you equate those things.
What is there to understand. Pedophilia is a sexual preference is it not? Sex with animals is a sexual preference is it not? The sick bastards at NAMBLA love teenage boys.(The ACLU always defends them too) That is a sexual preference. Is it not?

If these teenage boys are consenting, do you think that should be a protected right?

My point is this... If we lower the bar on socially accepted deviance, where do we eventually draw the line?

We will never get anywhere with this argument because you do not view homosexuality as deviant behavior.

I think that it is sad that anyone would see this as normal. I guess to a gay it would be normal. I cannot fathom how anyone who claims to be heterosexual would see this as normal behavior.

I think it is totally fucked up to allow them to adopt children and introduce kids to this environment. Is that fair to children? Of course not. They are starting life out with additional baggage over their heads. Would they choose to live in this environment if they were able to make the choice themselves? I would think not.

The notion that gay men live in stable monogomous relationships is pure bullshit and gay agenda propaganda. A very tiny percentage might. The majority do not.

We will never agree on this subject so I guess it would be best to let the thread die. I have made my point.

I don't know what else to say. I'm all talked out and there is no beer in the house.

There's just something about seeing the words "liberal" and "deviant" used like normal people use the words "a" and "the" that's starting to drive me insane. You're like a 3 year old kid when he learns a new word. "da da... ma ma... poopy cucka... liberal... deviant." Is there something wrong with you? Seriously. Even Jonathan doesn't have this problem. Have you considered going back and getting your GED? Is it an issue with your keyboard? Are you head injured? Lead paint? Fork in the eye? Arthritis? Rickets? Spina Bifida? Water on the knee? Lice?

I think any child would be happy to grow up in a loving environment whether gay or straight. Do you think these children would be better off with their biological parents who could be abusive, neglectful, or worse? I'm going to tell you right now that probably just about any same sex couple would make much better parents than half of the straight parents out there!

Are you suggesting that most straight people are monogomous relationship oriented? I doubt it! Sluts come in many different flavors; man, woman, straight, gay, black, white, blue, dog...!!!

I'm right there with you guys but maybe a little more to the right. Only thing is I'm not pro choice under any circumstance. In other words, if some bimbo gets knocked up willingly, it's not OK. In cases where a mother's life is at risk or rape or such then I'm OK with it. The ability to chose should not be a form of birth control!

The Supreme Court has made many bullshit interpretations of laws. Roe vs Wade is just one of many.
Good point. For a laugh, look at some of the case law relating to sexual harassment cases (all of which have basis in Title VII)...talk about wide open to interpretation :rolleyes: Clearly defined laws with clearly defined consequences would go a long way towards removing useless cases from our courts.

Studies have shown that children being raised by gay couples may be better adjusted and capable than those raised by straight couples. For one thing they don't have various gender roles (often conflicting) being forced on them. By roles I mean stereotypically masculine or feminine traits/tasks.

Of course I also saw a study that showed the children raised by gays were more likely to be involved in backlashes against that culture because of treatment they received outside the home growing up...I guess you'll always find what you're looking for with regards to studies (depending on who funds/supports them).

Most of the family values that we take for the "norm" don't exist, they were a creation of the post WWII period that enabled all the returning men to enter the workplace again (displacing all the women that were quite happy to hold those jobs while they were gone...). Basically what we all take as the model family does not exist except in 10% of households and the dynamic is changing rapidly.

I figured you would be used to hearing the word liberal at your age. It's a common term used everyday in every newspaper and in routine political discourse.

You probably don't hear the word "liberal" too much now that you are being indoctrinated at some college. The new required diversity courses at all universities have eliminated it from their vocabulary.

I use the word "deviant" because the terms I use in normal everyday conversation are not politically correct. Your affeminate nature would be offended so I use this term to lighten the impact. After all.. I'm trying to be PC. Besides it's both very descriptive and funny.

If my posts drive you insane... use the ignore feature. Otherwise too bad. [Finger] I think I will program some keys for these words. Good idea.

I'm going to tell you that your opinion is based totally on gay propaganda.

You ask any big city cop who has a gay community in his patrol sector and most will agree that these people are brutal to each other. As a whole they have a high incidence of domestic dispute and assault complaints. Disproportionately higher than the general population as a whole. Very few are stable couples. A tiny percentage of the wealthier and more conservative gays. You bought into the propaganda.

The mainstream media knows this. The data is out there. No one touches this subject. It would be the end of their career. The media today is in business to push the gay propaganda. The reporter who interviewed Santorum even inserted the word "gay" when he never said it. That is just one of the many examples of our irresponsible media.

That reporter should be fired. Do you think she will. No of course not. Her husband works for John Kerry. Another agenda they promote...The Democrats.

You are saying there were no normal family values prior to WWII?

One of the problems that gays have is they define themselves entirely because of their sexuality (and deviance...alright I said it).

They wear their gayness on their sleeves. Maybe if they stopped defining every aspect of themselves by this more people would be willing to accept them as individuals... not a lifestyle.

The special legislation they want is wrong. They already have the same rights as anyone else. They want their "lifestyle" rights.
Ding, ding, ding!!! NY Madman you hit it right on the head here.

If you want to be gay, fine (not really). But why do they always have to go around flaunting it? Keep it in the closet I say. You don't see normal heterosexual people going around saying, "I am straight! I am straight!".

Maybe more people would be willing to accept them if they stopped flaunting it? Stop with the gay parades and whatnot. I don't see heterosexual parades, do you?
It is kinda like minorities, if the they would just STFU and stop wanting EVERYTHING handed to them for free (i.e. affirmative action, welfare), maybe, just maybe, the rest of society would give them some slack.

Gays should not be entitled to special rights. Marriage is for a MAN and a WOMAN, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. It is not "normal". It is not human nature to be gay. You do not see homosexuality in the animal world. We are just on top of that world.

For all you that claim people are "born" gay, I don't buy it. There is no proven "gay" gene. Homosexuality is a condition, if you will, a product of your environment. You mean to tell me a baby is born "gay"? Um, I doubt it.

For all the people who are going to say I am homophobic, I don't care. I have nothing against gay people persay. I just don't agree with that lifestyle; it is not normal. I have worked with two gay guys before. I have no problems with them. If they can do their jobs who cares, be gay. I just don't want/need to see them flaunt it. Would I go hang out with them in a gay bar? Probably not. But you won't see me in Harlem watching a basketball game either. It is just reality folks.

Take an anthropology class or two . . .

"Perhaps the bonobo's most typical sexual pattern, undocumented in any other primate, is genito-genital rubbing (or GG rubbing) between adult females. One female facing another clings with arms and legs to a partner that, standing on both hands and feet, lifts her off the ground. The two females then rub their genital swellings laterally together, emitting grins and squeals that probably reflect orgasmic experiences. (Laboratory experiments on stump- tailed macaques have demonstrated that women are not the only female primates capable of physiological orgasm.)

Male bonobos, too, may engage in pseudocopulation but generally perform a variation. Standing back to back, one male briefly rubs his scrotum against the buttocks of another. They also practice so-called penis-fencing, in which two males hang face to face from a branch while rubbing their erect penises together."


A bonobo is a species of primate so closely related to chimpanzees that they are difficult to distinguish from one another . . .

As much as I hate to interupt a conversation about "penis fencing", [LOL] I took the political compass test and had the following results.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 6.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.74

That's not too far off from where I considered myself to be. (I thought I'd rate as more of a libertarian on social issues.) Economically, I've always been staunchly right wing. Take the test... yes some of the questions are worded in ways that make me want to qualify my answer, but it seems to somewhat accurately reflect my political position.

Mobycat, please forgive me for not including you in my list earlier... from your results on the political compass test, I can see you need help. (ya big socialist you) wink

I am sure this was discussed before in a previous religion thread, I just wanted to stick it in here briefly

The old testament contained a set of laws that were meant for the people of that time. When Jesus was "put into service", he became the "new law" and all the "old laws" no longer apply. (reference: Hebrews chapter 8, I think?)

Romans 1:26-27 is a good reference in the "new law" which discusses homosexuality.

So in short, all those witty points about the laws in Lev. don't apply anymore - which is why we do things now - like eat pork (best Homer voice, "hmmm Pork"), and don't do things like "Stone our neighbors".

Basically, wasn't this guy just making a LEGAL POINT?? If a court rules that behavior in the bedroom/home can not be regulated by government, then anything else you do in the privacy of your own home is legal. Instead, the way to go would be to repeal the sodomy laws (like the majority of states have).

I thought it was simply a legal point? Maybe I haven't read enough on it...

I believe it says that they strayed away from God, and turned to material things instead. It doesn't say that God turned them gay, instead it says that they gave into their lusts.

The term "God gave them over..", is better translated to "God gave up on them..." and let them do it (ie. free will) I don't see where it says that "God turned them into gays".

[Begin short short answer.]
The Bible sometimes talks in metaphors. "Life" refers to heaven (like in John 3:16), and similarly "death" refers to hell.

In this case, "death" means eternity in hell. So in short, that passage means - "bad people deserve to go to hell."

If you are a "bad person" who wants to avoid hell, I recommend studying up on these parts of Romans: 3:10, 3:23, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9-10, 10:13.

When it all boils down to it, what philosophies or government legislation aren't subject to personal interpretation. Most things are kinda in grey areas and there are very few things that are truly black and white. That is why we have these discussions - to explore the various interpretations.

"He acknowledges the acute moral shortcomings of his conduct, and he will continue intense self-examination and professional and spiritual counseling," the lawyers wrote in the letter, dated yesterday.

Cardin also said he did not want to speak about the case after yesterday's hearing but described his client as "brilliant and eloquent."

Better to be a "brilliant and eloquent" pedophile, then just a regular old one! Why is this sexual predator not going to jail?

Romans 1:26-27 is a good reference in the "new law" which discusses homosexuality.
Thank you. Seriously. I asked Off2 a question, not trying to be a smartass (hence my saying "seriously") but he didn't give me an answer.[/b]
Mobycat, on page of this thread did you pose a question to me? I skimmed over all these and didn't see any more from you after you responded concerning your brother. So, before you go causing hate and discontent, show me the question again. Ensure you quote yourself from the original. I could have missed it.

No, I will not answer the first question with that liberal spin put on it.

KJ already answered the question in question. No, not every part of the book is meant for me. Feel free to place any sort of spin on that as you like.

Oh, good grief. No shit he did. I didn't ask you again. I asked you once. KJ answered it. I don't know if he was responding to me in particular, but it answered my question. And I thanked him for it. Perhaps if you had simply explained WHY?

I can't help it if you think everything that you don't entirely agree with is "liberal" or whatever. You call me a "non-knowing anything about christianity" and then you don't give a reason. Whatever.

*I* wasn't spreading "hate and discontent." Only you view it as such. KJ has been MUCH more helpful than you - you never explain your reasoning. He and I actually had a discussion off-list, and it was quite civil. I have a TON more respect for him, because unlike you, he tries to explain his view. Not simply, "you don't know" and then walk away claiming you don't have time.

Madman and I have a VAST difference in opinion on things. But at least he tries to explain it. I might not agree, even after heated discussions. But he tries to show his reasoning. Have you EVER tried?

I have explained why to you many a times. It is not my fault you choose not to accept any reasoning I may give you. I also don't feel compelled to give a reason behind everything I state. I don't have to impress you. I don't have to persuede you. You are just as hard-headed and set in your ways as I am. You just have more ideals that reflect the vast majority of young 20-somethings that think they have a grip on everything. I was once young and idealistic as they, but experience and wisdom caught up with me, and I matured, unlike them. They too, will someday grow up and see that their opinions of things held today were complete crap.

You can choose to believe me or not. You can choose to accept those things or not. It doesn't matter to me. I am at an age where I know what and who I am.

Well...just to let you in on a little secret...I too was once like that. I'm 35 now. And yes, I grew up and realized my opinions of things when I was in my twenties were complete crap.

I will not accept things that aren't explained to me - and I don't mean things like the mysteries in the bible. I mean it in that if someone wishes to convince me of something, they should give some reasons.

And to prove that some people on here HAVE managed to change my views on things - two years ago if you had asked me whether people should be able to have guns, I would have said no. But some people (I don't remember which people specifically) managed to explain WHY they should be able to have them. They gave a reasoned argument, and I accepted that. I don't have a problem with people owning guns at this point. I still wouldn't own one myself, but if you want one, go for it.

(And at least I don't pretend to have a grip on things. I still don't know whether the whole Iraq thing was the right thing to do. I'm not for it, I'm not against it.)

While I can't say for sure which way I am...I do tend to lean toward agreeing with you on that.

Here's a question for you. How does the U.S. convince them that we aren't there only for the oil? I personally don't think we are. But I'll be damned if I can think of any way that they can convince them.

(Let's take this thread in a completely different direction laugh )

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 26/04/03 08:31 PM

I think our government is going to hand over everything to the Iraqis as soon as possible. Well, at least I hope so. That is once Iraq proves they can all meet, get along, and rule the country together.

I don't think we are there for the oil. We don't need it. I think we will be helping them get their economy straightened out for quite a while, but I don't see us using oil as a chip. We give them the control over all the oil. We let them decide on what to do with the profits.

I think that as America, the only Superpower, is responsible for policing the world. The world is jealous that we did all this in 230yrs and they still can't do it after thousands of years.
We needed to step up and slap someone hard in the face to let them all know, once again, who the Alpha Dog is in the pack. I think we did it with Iraq. Look at the way Syria is backing down and handing over everything they can. Yep, the war was necessary and justified. You don't have to agree with it, but it needed done.

A few thoughts.

Many christians condemn homosexuality as a sin. But according to a 1997 pastoral letter by US Catholic Bishops: "Homosexuality is experienced as a given, not as something freely chosen. By itself, therefore, a homosexual orientation cannot be considered sinful, for morality presumes the freedom of choice. "

A good number of jews argue that if homosexuality can be shown by science to be a natural state, then it must have been created by God and cannot be considered wrong.

A section of the Kama Sutra in Hinduism focuses on gay men, calling them the "the third sex"

The Dalai Lama declared that gay and lesbian sex is "generally considered sexual misconduct."

In Islam, many muslims view homosexuality indicates weak character, sexual permissiveness and inadequate religious instruction.

It seems there are arguments on both sides of the issue. From all sides of the issue. Not trying to prove anyone wrong or say anyone is wrong. I am just posting information for both sides. smile

The ratio of stupid remarks is equal from both parties. Seems in the last 10 years, the conservative republicans have been trying to cover lost ground from the liberal Democrates due to their many defeats in the 60's and 70's.

Yes they are. He should have known ahead of time (just like Trent Lott), that his statements equating homosexual acts to crimes would cause a firestorm, "Compassionate Conservatism" this is not. I wouldn't trust this idiot to pump my gas.

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 30/04/03 05:36 AM

Is it just me or is everyone here forgetting a certain West Virginia Democratic Senator, Robert C. Byrd, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan?? I think the Democrats are massive hypocrites as long as they keep this guy in office (and he has been for over 45 years) That fact alone makes Trent Lott look like MLK.

The fact of all of this crap is that the Democrats have far too long played the game of politics much better than Republicans, using the media as their weapon - creating the illusion that they're for "Middle America" and that Republicans are "For the Rich."

All of this is indeed, a bunch of bull. And Republicans are learning how to fight in politics the same way that Democrats do, which is why we now control the Presidency, House and Senate, and will for at least 4 presidential terms (that's my prediction)

Hopefully soon all this "Multiculturalism" crap that we've been putting up with since the 60s will be a thing of the past and we will no longer have to bend over backwards to make some Gay guy "feel" better. We won't pass laws like in California that says a Christian bookstore can't discriminate against hiring a Transvestite cross-dresser. We won't give black people 20 points for being black in college entrance programs. This whole "diversity" thing has gotten out of hand.

And eventually a flat tax will pass - allowing "The Rich" to keep thier money in the private sector, and invest it in our economy, rather than handing it over in taxes and losing it in the huge Beauracracy that is our government. It's called "Trickle-down economics" people, and if you haven't taken 2 seconds to understand it then you don't deserve to have an opinion.

Haha, and I can't wait for Bush vs. Sharpton, 2004!

Hmmm, sorry I didn't mean to write so much, I guess I just had to vent.

Good post Hrd2Imagin. Oh I get it, Hard to Imagine! laugh Though I dont think we will ever get a flat tax, there are too many opponents on both sides of the fence for that one. I have always believed in Trickledown economics. I have seen it my entire life. I have worked many tip oriented jobs, my fiance still does, and when the ecomomy is good, and taxes are low, and people have cash, I made more money. People will say, DUH!!

But the point is this, the amount of people doing the tipping stayed pretty constant throughout good and bad. But the tips were larger because they had more to "trickle down" to people like me.

You aren't serious, are you? Byrd USED to be a member. Lott made the comment just this past year.

People can see the errors of their ways. Examples? RFK and Vietnam. Strom Thurmond and segregation (why...he even had minorities on his staff...imagine that!)

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 04/05/03 01:46 PM

Oops...just tuned in...this is waaaaay of topic - let's see if this will work:

Ahem...gay people have the right to be gay. But do not try to compare the relationship between man and woman to a gay relationship. It's not fucking natural! Why the fuck do we need 'gay pride day'? I am all for equal rights in workplace and civil rights etc..., but the can NEVER form a family! A child need both a man and a woman's nurturing, not exclusively one or the other. A gay couple can't even have a child naturally for fuck's sake! God said 'Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'. I don't bash gay people, but I don't believe their relationships can be compared to traditional man-woman relationships. And yes, it is killing family values. A gay couple is NOT a family, CANNOT be a family, and WILL NEVER be a family.

Ok, flame on. [Smoking]
Posted by: Mobycat

Re: Another Stupid Republican Opens His Mouth... - 04/05/03 02:08 PM

So Costas, tell me this...

My aunt and uncle never had kids. Does that make them less of a family?

My sister and her husband don't have kids. They've tried. No luck so far. Does that make them less of a family?

How exactly is it killing family values? Does a gay couple adopting change the way you have your family values? Don't think so. Does it affect the way other people have their family values? Don't think so. Neither you nor others have changed their family values. I don't see how it's killing them. Each person has their own values, and what someone ELSE does shouldn't change that - if it does, then someone has a problem, and it's not the "other" person.

Just because someone can procreate doesn't give them "better" family values than someone else. How about people who can't have kids? How about those children who live in an abusive household? Hardly any good family values there.

Not at all, but as a couple, they could nurture a child of their own, or adopted, and instill traditional family values in their children. I'm comparing a gay couple to a man-woman couple. If we look at the reason we even HAVE a traditional family unit to begin with is to propogate the human race, which a gay couple CANNOT DO....EVER! Oh, and let's keep technology out of this, because technology cannot replace the emotional and biological components of this matter (at least not yet)

I'm not defending ALL traditional families specifically. I know there are many abusive 'traditional' families out there. What I don't like is being sold on the idea that gay 'families' are as valid as 'traditional' families. They clearly are not. What would happen if everyone turned gay overnight? The human race would disappear (again...technology aside).

What an individual chooses to do in their own home is their business, but I can't agree that it's normal or in the best interests of the human race.

Fair enough, but since when did anybody care about the best interests of the human race?

I'm still not clear on why a gay family isn't as valid. Procreation may be important to the survival of the human race, but as the ratio is anywhere from 10-1 to 50-1 (depending on whose study you believe), that is a non-issue.

Not to mention that most of the gay population isn't going to procreate either way. They aren't going to go into a straight relationship just to procreate.

I'm sure you don't have this view, but the argument you are using is easily transfered to why people with disabilities shouldn't procreate. After all, wouldn't that be in the best interest of the human race? Let the strong survive?

I'll take another approach...a man and woman being both biologically and psychologically different both bring different contributions to the table when it comes to shaping our future society in our children. A gay couple may have differing personalities, but bring the virtually the same
mindset to the table, and thus deprive children of BOTH sex qualities (I'm not sure if this is clear), and thus the child does not get the nurturing it needs from both sides.

You're right, I certainly wouldn't categorize disabilites the same way, because it does not take away from the two-sex mindset.

Like I said, I've never gay-bashed and never will...but traditional family values can only be instilled through a traditional family model.

Again, I note...why is there 'gay pride day'?? I don't respect that at all - are they saying their sexual makeup is an more than noteworthy than mine? Do we have 'straight pride day'? Maybe we should...if the gay community would simply go about their life without promoting their lifestyle, there would probably be less controversy. I'm not saying stay in the closet, but don't go out of your way to show me you're different and expect that I'll see you as an equal.

But straight people are always "promoting" their lifestyle. How often do you go down the street, and see people holding hands, kissing, and in some instances, basically doing everything but taking their clothes off? You just don't notice it as much, because it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

Nobody is saying their lifestyle/behavior is more noteworthy. Sometimes you have to shock to get your point across. Bra-burning, anyone? Technically speaking, a gay pride parade isn't for straight people. It's an event for gays. Friends I know who participate do it to show others (who are in the closet) that it isn't a crime to be gay. That they can be proud of who they are, and not feel ashamed, even though a good portion of the general population would like them to be ashamed.

Moby, I wouldn't want them to be ashamed to be gay...it most definitely is not a crime...but have you seen those parades? Come to Vancouver sometime when it's on - it's appalling. If they want to hold hands in public and kiss or whatever like straight couples do, then fine...but a celebration???

Have you heard the accusations of 'discrimination' when it's convenient? Many use it as a crutch to their advantage.

If they didn't go so far out of their way to 'prove a point', then the rest of us wouldn't make a big deal out of it. If you want to be treated equally, don't make a big deal out of your 'lifestyle'. I think the same applies to minority groups.

How exactly does the same apply to minority groups? And who would you consider a minority? Please humor our inquiring minds. [Geek]

Take your pick...any group that feels the needs to promote the fact that they're different - ethnicity, sexuality, etc...

I don't think just because one belongs to a minority group and they celebrate their ethnicity, for example, justifies them to be in the same league as gays in this issue. Gays have a lifestyle that's not normally accepted while ethnic minorities have lifestyles that are partly based on their backgrounds.

In some places, it very much is a crime.

I've been to a couple. And I don't disagree that some of it is WAY over the line. But to me it's not over the line because they are gay. To me, it's over the line regardless of who is involved. I don't like to see that kind of behavior in public from *anyone*.

I don't disagree that that does happen...but I'm not sure where this matters in this instance.

Maybe, but look at all the instances where this kind of thing happens where people don't make a big deal about it. Irish Catholics have St. Patrick's Day parades. There is a black pride month. There are parades for the Chinese New Year. Why shouldn't people be able to have an event for themselves to celebrate themselves or a facet of their lives?

If it's not natural, why have there been homosexuals around since the begining of modern man (and possibly longer)? Homosexuals can't "breed", so who keeps "making" them?

The same reasons I guess we need all the other minority pride days: recognition/awarness.

I am all for equal rights in workplace and civil rights etc..., but the can NEVER form a family! A child need both a man and a woman's nurturing, not exclusively one or the other.
That's quite the revelation there: Two men or two woman cannot have children, WOW!

Does this "theory" of family nurturing come from personal experience? Where's your proof?

Quote:
God said 'Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'.
That's original, did you think of that one yourself?

Quote:
I don't bash gay people
You just did. (see your Adam & Steve remark)

Quote:
I don't believe their relationships can be compared to traditional man-woman relationships. And yes, it is killing family values. A gay couple is NOT a family, CANNOT be a family, and WILL NEVER be a family.
Again, where's your proof?

Just did. No one is telling you you have to like homosexual lifestyles (I don't approve of it myself either), but technically since "they" were born gay, that means technically it's "natural", and therefore not their fault. Homosexuality is not even close to being the leading cause of declining family values in this country, the REAL reasons are drugs, crime, and peoples indifference to one another.
