This is sooo gay

[A Black Falcon]

Look. You say I have no proof. Well, why should I go look for proof when other people (big guy, sacred jellybean) have offered more than enough already? No, "proof" isn't the problem. Your mindset is, because it excludes the possibility of anything other than your opinions having any truth... and then tries to force everyone else to follow your twisted morals...

So what you're telling me is that it's okay to tell a person "You've worked hard to become wealthy, you possess a work ethic, a drive, and intelligence that normal people don't have, thus, your income is higher then most. Because you make more money than they do, we're going to take more from you than we do from them. That's the reward for hard work and perserverence."

Taxing the wealthy isn't done to help the poor, it's the liberal minority trying to undermine the capitalist system and replace it with a stagnant failure known as socialism.

You make more money, so you give a larger percent of your money... you make less, so you give less... it is just the most fair thing to do. Rich people can afford to give more so they should, They shouldn't be allowed to get out of paying their fair share of the taxes just because they are rich... like "flat taxes" or whatever do.

Many gay parents who have children use their own reproductive systems in the process, either as a sperm donor to a surrogate mother, or as the recipient of donated sperm.

But that's just one parent... :bang:

Liberals have had the worse track record for racism by far in recent times, foremost in their support for Affirmative Action, which is inherently and unashamedly racist. Then there's WVA senator Robert Byrd, a card-carrying KKK member, Jim Moran, the Virginia representative who recently was disgraced after blaming the Iraq war on Jews, and the possible presidential nomination of Al Sharpton, one of the most vicious racists alive.

Sure some liberals are racist... but a far, far higher percentage of conservatives are racist. You really can't deny that...

Definitely, yes. There are many choices one does not consciously make, and I believe sexual orientation is one of them. But that it is a choice is painfully clear to me. It's definitely not something you just decide one day, but it's something you consider often before you're in a position to act on it. If it were not a choice, bisexuality could not exist, as genetics are pretty rigid: If you were born gay, you could never show an interest in women at all. Yet some people do show interest in both. If it truly were genetic, you would think the ties to same sex would be too strong to break, as many genetic traits are hard, if not impossible to negate by will alone. I think that some people who might be gay choose not to because of the repercussions that come with that decision, but I never once heard of a person who was so gay to the core of their being that they failed to stop it despite trying.

Not a word of that makes a shred of sense... given how we've already shown how that is just false several times...

I could believe that, but it's definitely slanted more to choice. I just believe that most people who are gay give it serious consideration, some decide to go ahead and some do not. If it were more genetic than not, the simple fact is that more people would be gay, because there would be no stopping it. Some people do, and that is nearly impossible if the condition is inflicted by a person's genes.

But for almost all gay people that is exactly how it is! They can't "stop it"!

Again, I agree. And I'm not against people wanting to be gay, because as I stated earlier, what goes on in a person's bedroom is their business and no one elses. The problem I have is the possibility that the lifestyle becomes popularlized and common, because the fact that the gay lifestyle has special consequences cannot be denied, and there is my personal revusion of it. Then there are the people lobbying for gay people to get special rights, and I don't believe a choice warrants a special bonus. Gay people are still people as much as anyone, I'm the last one to say otherwise, but what it comes down to is that publicizing your sex life, gay or straight, usually leads to bad things and is a stupid thing to do. And I do not believe people have the right to be protected from their own stupidity.

That is just dumb. I mean, "let them do whatever but if I learn about it let me do any bad thing I want (within some limits) them for being evil people"? That isn't tolerance! That's persecution! I don't see how you can support persecuting anyone... even if it was a choice, that doesn't make it anywhere near OK to let them be persecuted for it... yet you think it should stay legal for them to be persecuted (fired, evicted, etc) just if people find out their sexuality. That is not exactly "tolerant" or "not against people being gay".
