DankNuggs 305 Posted January 24, 2013 Besides, the poll question is flawed. Right now, same sex couples have the exact same marriage rights as hetero couples. They can both marry people of the opposite sex. What the gheys want is special privilege rights, above and beyond what everybody else has. They want to be equal, yet have more stuff when convenient instead of being equal. They can't make up their minds. And their fight would ultimately lead to the discrimination against single people. If they win, everybody loses. Biologically illogical rights. goes right along with economically illogical rights to spend us into the gutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted January 24, 2013 Biologically illogical rights. goes right along with economically illogical rights to spend us into the gutter. If rights can be biologically illogical then what right do an infertile man and an infertile woman have to marry? Biologically speaking, they're in the same boat as a same sex couple. Neither can procreate....which is the ultimate goal of human biology. So why allow folks to marry who can't perpetuate the species? To do so would be biologically illogical.

BufordT 392 Posted January 24, 2013 Funny how people still think Presidential Elections are about the issues. I wish they were about issues, but they're not. These elections are about who is the most socially popular person...the person you would most likely want to hang out with in high school. Bill Clinton won because he was cooler than Bob Dole and old man Bush. Old man Bush was cooler than baggy eyes Dukakis but not as cool as Clinton. This past election Romney was equally as cool as Obama but he was a more obvious/blatant liar. Which imho is why Romney lost....yes, I know Obama is a big time liar, as well. Reagan was maybe the coolest President of my lifetime....way cooler than Carter and Mondale...you think this country really wanted Mondale representing us. If Condi and HRC were to square off....Condi would win in a landslide...I'd much rather take her to the prom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did at some point you choose to be straight? what would make it different for gays? being around a gay person is not going to cause others to be gay so the insinuation that somehow their friends or social settings cause it does not seem likely. It is far more likely to me glbtq people are just made that way just as I am made straight. I have known quite a few gay and lesbians in my life from my youth till now and the only thing I have contracted from them is the ability to drop preconceived notions from my overall outlook.

Greedo 13 Posted January 24, 2013 I disagree. By the time Obama gets done with another 4 years of total destruction of the economy and America, the GOP will be able to run just about anyone against the democrats and win. You heard it here first. Are you basing this on the slowly decreasing unemployment numbers or the stock market's performance, or a comparison of now to late 2008? What I said is that the majority of democrats are moochers. Check out the map; by and large it is blue in large metro areas. Areas where entire wards vote democrat (allegedly), many of them bused in to vote. I'm pretty sure those aren't all scientists or the other stereotypes you mentioned. The truth is that both parties have a minority of intellectuals and a majority of drones which tag along. Should rural farmers receiving price supports from the government be called moochers? How about all those red states in the south receiving high levels of government assistance? This moochers myth has to stop. If you are educated and female, you vote dem. If you are uneducated and male, you vote GOP. The rest is pretty mushy. It's entirely reasonable and economically beneficial to run a deficit during a downswing, problem is you should run a surplus in good years which is politically impossible. Perfect post. It's a damn shame we can't get the pols in there to get that surplus in place. You say that Rand Paul has made anti faggut comments. Cool. It's refreshing to hear a politician actually tell it like he sees it, not some politically correct tool trying to tell you what you demand to hear. Fock anybody that gets offended by anything. Offended people are focking stupid and I question their general worth to society. These people you dismiss are the ones that vote against the candidates you want to win. Just so you know. Acreed. I don't believe people are born ghey any more than S&M freaks are born that way, or people with a foot fetish are born to be attracted to feet, or pedophiles are born sickos. I think gheyness is environmental, with the possibility of a genetic predisposition. Nobody knows how people's sexual quirks develop, but I don't think it's in the genes. You have a PhD in genetics to warrant your above claim? Or have read peer reviewed journal articles discussing the matter? Or just have an uninformed opinion?

Similarly, there are religious zealots on the left, although their religion involves things like envirowackiness and other causes. I was talking broad generalities. Remember, my statements were in response to an implication that the majority of democrat voters are intelligent people with strong intellectual convictions, and that conservatives are mostly clueless rednecks.

Bush I was a good president better than Reagan IMO -- he was actually smart enough to know to get the fock out of Iraq once they pushed them out of Kuwait. Most independent analysts conclude that Clinton still wins (rather easilty) with or without Perot in the race. Perot originally dropped out of the race and then re-entered because Bush's poll numbers were declining. Perot didn't do any more damage to Bush than John Anderson did to Carter in 1980.

Lackman 0 Posted January 25, 2013 The people you know and are related to are going to point and be horrified by the dinosaur that still makes gay jokes or still thinks "it's a choice". Eh, you can make a joke about anything and have it potentially be funny. No topics are ever off limits. I'd be horrified by someone that would cringe at a queer joke. As far as choice, I've often wondered why the pickle puffers are so gungho to claim they had no choice but to suck a c0ck. Look, it's empowering to make a choice, a sign of confidence, strength, free will, etc. Having no choice in a matter is a sign of weakness and feebleness and a victim of fate. Why would these fuckos decide they want to be looked at as victims? It's just delusional thinking. Sack up and take control of your life instead of being prisoners. Also, where did the mantra "it doesn't matter what you do in the privacy of your bedroom" and now it's all about taking your bedroom out into public and making demands as if it's an entitlement. Also science has no clue why someone is gay, or gets progeria, or is afraid of pickles, or lots of things. Well, maybe I can assume why someone is afraid of pickles and never want to hang around with their alcoholic uncle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Published in the preeminent scientific journal, Science. Link Here's a more recent one. Google is your friend. Use it to try to learn something instead of trusting the voice in your head that tells you that being gay is unnatural, therefore there can be no way it's genetic.
