You're Not Buggin' Me

G5 - You did not say that. I was mistaken and did make note of my mistake already. Again I am sorry.

I think I made a mistake and addressed my comments to g5 instead of billyjb, I am truly sorry.

G5, how sad that you would find some sportin' fun in suggesting that a woman watch videos of babies being murdered at a time when clear thinking might be a problem and full disclosure of the procedure is not made or at least leaves a lot to be desired. I would have thought a better plan would be to have the judges and lawmakers watch such videos before legalizing such a procedure or before criminalizing those who don't want to participate.

Well Shaar we should let women who are thinking about getting an abortion watch that video instead of all the health and psych evaluations the government is proposing. That'll save some time and money. A very solid pro-choice solution.

G5,

So you search the web for a gay dictionary and watch E! as part of your research on liberals. What's nex? Will & Grace marathon? Spending all day watching Bravo? Wear a scarf? Drive a Vespa? What other stereotypes could you possibly muster up to look like a bigger fool?

Or maybe you'll just fall back on those right-wing "news" websites, come back here and tell us all that homosexuality lifestyle that people chose to partake in.

Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be a boatload of fun for everyone reading.

Agreed doodle.

But the key is to act superior enough to make the other guy accept it as fact.

G5,

Only one definition of marriage? Which one? The one from biblical times that treated women as property? The one in the 1950s-60s that didn't allow people of different races to marry? Or the definition from Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, etc. that allows homosexual couples to get married?

But it is against the laws of nature, right? Homosexuals are performing unnatural acts? What about the 1500 OTHER species of animal that have exhibited homosexual behavior? Are they breaking nature's laws too? Man, mother nature must be pissed.

And don't get me wrong, I do find some sexual exploits to be a bit repulsive. But they aren't monopolized by gay people. There are plenty of things that straight people do that are just as twisted. (which is their legal right as free Americans).

Additionally, HIV is not spreadable via tears/urine/saliva (at least, there have been no recorded cases of it spread that way).

And yes, people with HIV are more at risk to catch drug-resistant strains of TB. But this does not just apply to homosexuals. Anyone with a weakened immune system is susceptible.

And about the people who enter the US with HIV. Who pays their medical bills? If they are citizens of another country that has Universal Healthcare, their country might. But I'm unaware of a medicare program that pays for non-US citizen's HIV medications.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Your citations amuse me. The fact that you of all people post a link to such an obviously absurd gay dictionary site is so (so so so so) funny. Way to do your homework buddy.

(By the way, heterosexual couples do some pretty unspeakable things...but this is the internet. I'm sure you've seen that.)

However I'm curious about all these cases of TB you're talking about. If they're so common, why is the last case of TB anyone has ever heard about happened 2-3 years ago?

Also, didn't the AIDS scare die off fifteen years ago? If you're going to throw out bigotry, at least keep it contemporary.

G5,

You seem like you are projecting a little. You talk about how offensive and disgusting homosexual behavior is, and yet you suggest people to find out about glory holes and golden showers?

Haha. You have pie on your face sir.

I think deep down, the reason you hate homosexuals so much, is because... well... the writing is on the wall.

And you did not give me a reply to my smoking stats. No defense?

G5,

Did you honestly just say that research on secondhand smoke are distorted to meet an agenda?!?!?!

What the hell man? I used to be amused by you, but now I pity you. It must be rough to live in a world where you think everyone is gunning for your "civil liberties". How can you be surrounded by valid facts from the top medical institutions in the world, and still not be convinced?

If someone smokes, I am in no way condemning them. But to try and say that the its not as bad as "they" make it out to be is really making it seem like you have your head in the sand.

And they do know what carcinogens are in cigarette smoke. Specifically, Group A carcinogens, the kind that cause lung cancer. 2nd hand smoke causes over 50,000 deaths a year.

And I did not site a source, because if you look anywhere on the internet, you will not find one medical site without these numbers. I got this one off of Stanford medical research page.

And just in case you say, "oh those stats don't mean anything"

Lets do a little experiment. Light up a cigarette in your living room. Wait for someone to walk in. Within a minute they will cough. Huh. That's odd. Why did they cough? Oh that's right, smoke inhalation makes your lungs clear foreign material out.

And I have never smoked marijuana so I am not defending it. But I found it interesting that the research doesn't agree with you.

Nicotine Cigarettes are worse for you than MJ.

The main reasons:

Nicotine is the link to cigarettes and heart disease.

Marijauna has no nicotine.

Exposure to smoke is much lower in cannabis compared to cigarettes.

I was pretty surprised to find that.

But in no way is marijuana good for you either.

billy,

Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?

;)

This issue of abortion has come up again. Sam, you and I do disagree. I do not believe it is murder. And you, of course, do believe it is murder. Certainly you have the right to believe that, and to say whatever you want about the subject.

Simply remember that "liberals" do not think we are murdering people. So call us murderers if you want, however please do not insinuate that we are under the belief that we are committing murder and are OK with it.

However, I do agree that the abortion rate is way to high in the US (at least, it's MUCH higher than most other "westernized" countries). So can we all finally agree it is time to get serious about sex education?

Time and time again, studies and empirical observations have shown that when high schoolers are educated about contraception, the teen pregnancy rate (and abortion rates) drop significantly. Additionally, studies have shown that teenagers who receive abstinence-only education are about as likely to engage in teenage sex as those who receive comprehensive sex education. And they are FAR less likely to use a form of contraception.

And Tiney, why bring gay rights into this? This thread is going to turn into the two headed beast of conservative talking points, abortion and gay marriage.

Homosexuals and gay rights advocates don't want them to have special rights. Just the same rights that everyone has. I know the punch line for this one "Gay people have the same right to marry people of the opposite sex as straight people do." Well, the difference is that you have the right to marry anyone you want to marry, because you are attracted to the opposite sex. Gay people are not attracted to the opposite sex. They simply want the right to marry the people they are attracted to.

And homosexuality is not necessarily a destructive lifestyle. Although, there seems to be alot of press to the contrary. Yes, incidence of STDs, suicide, etc are statistically higher in the gay community than the general populace, but at least some of this difference can be attributed to the stigma attached to being gay in this country, and the inability of many gay people to express their true feelings, fearing reprisal from their friends and neighbors.

And even if it WAS always a completely destructive lifestyle, the government still has no place to deny them rights. If I want, I can descend into a binge of alcoholism and devil worship. That would be a completely destructive lifestyle, and my prerogative. Should the government be able to tell me that I can't marry a fellow alcoholic satanist?

Yes, it is their right to live that way. And yes, it doesn't mean it's right. Just like it is your right to live as a Christian, and that doesn't mean that's right either. The question is, does the government have the right to make that decision for a homosexual. Do they have the right to make it for you?

Yo Tiney, The left always gets angry about judging, then they turn right around and judge.

McCookreader. Hello! I know it makes folks mad, but it was Christ who said, "Narrow is the way." Sure, the Lord wants that all should come to repentance, even Barack.

Billy, if ya wanna be a homosexual, then be one. Who is stopping you?

I don't hate homosexuals...funny, while reading your simply pathetic defense of abortion, I was watching a video of Liberace. I am a big fan of Liberace, and I have just about every movie Rock Hudson ever made.

For such a superior Vermont brain, your defense of Abortion was truly sad. Try and step it up a bit. You'll have to give an answer for it one day, so you may as well go ahead and prepare.

I know what is bothering you liberals. You know that your time is coming to an end. Better get use to the idea. You're about to get kicked to the curb.

You people that accuse sam of being hateful seem to be full of hate for HIM. In love, a person who does not want SPECIAL rights for homosexuals, is only trying to warn them that they are in a very destructive lifestyle. It's their right to live that way, of course, but that doesn't mean it IS right. And who am i to judge? A child of God who can discern evil from righteousness. Also, for more years than not, homosexuality has been an illegal behavior, and still is in many countries. God Bless Us, Everyone

Mrs. Smith,

Wow! I completely agree with you about abortion. And this week has been great for pro life.

But after that you sound absolutely crazy. If a person smokes around a child frequently, they are just as much selfish murderers as any abortion doctor. If you live alone, or live with your significant other go ahead and waste your life. But with the studies on second hand smoke, it is irrespponsible to put others at risk because of your weak will power and addiction to nicotine.

Seat belt laws i could care less about. But I always wear one. Why not?

And why would you not vaccinate your kid if it were suggested? Do you think they secretly inject liberalism into the kid's blood? Dumb people who feel like they know more than the AMA didn't vaccinate their kids for wooping cough this year, do you know what happened to those kids? They died.

Oh, and Sam, how does it make you feel to know that God cares just as much about you as he does Barack Obama, and even Osama Bin Laden? And who are you to judge if he is a dem. or a rep? If you go by the literal interprutation of the bible, especially old testament, only about .5% of people on earth would get to heaven.

What a beautiful day in SW Nebraska, and I enjoyed the sunshine and friendly people here in our part of the state! As a relative newcomer, I am always happy to visit with the good people of my area, and get to hear about their prosperity and that of their families. I'm glad your in OK Sam, as they say, It's OK! We shall overcome, even you.......
