wasteful spending, hypocrisy and the inability to do your job effectively?

1. Homosexuality isn't a problem.
2. I'd like the government to handle hunger, disease and war, not homosexuality, steroids in basketball and prostitutes.
3. Every time our government starts legislating homosexuality, it brings us one step closer to this.
4. Fuck you, state of GA, for telling me that everything but missionary position is ILLEGAL. My girl and I will do it in any position we damn well please.

Conformity. The righteous people who part their hair on the right are at war with those evildoers who part on the left.

Your question
"Do you consider homosexuality to be a problem that the government needs to address?"
is too vague.

Are you asking if the govt needs to stop homosexuality, a "problem?"
Are you asking if the govt should protect homosexuals from discrimination?
Are you asking if the govt should stay out of the bedroom and not interfere at all?

:confused:

Now 6% of the world has down syndrome (DS) yet 8-10% of the world is gay. (Stats I got from other sites so i don;t know how true they are).

Why is it that gays get more bs from republicans, religious, and other nut jobs yet those with DS get a pass?

Because you don't choose to have down syndrome and you do choose whether or not to have gay sex maybe...

also the government does adress Downs, if you have it you get disability benefits from the government.

That's what I believe, it's a choice that being said I do not think the government has the right to interfere unless they are breaking a law somewhere.

I am stating this putting my moral beliefs aside.

Amen. We should allowed to do whatever we want, as long as it doesn't hurt other people.

Because it has to do with sexuality, and urges that get repressed. Cognitive dissonance is a fascinating thing.

Seriously, I was thinking about this after that thread on that nutball congresswoman from Oklahoma or where ever the fuck she was from.

Personally, I think politicians should shut the hell up about religion and sexuality. Too often they end up sticking their jackbooted foot in their pie hole anyway either by words or by their actions (tapping foot in the mens room at an airport for example). Homosexuality is not a problem anyone needs to address...especially not our government.

I voted no to the question, but a more serious problem we should vote on is Jules spelling pole correctly :p

it's POLL

:D

That's just the bait. Before you know it, it's two slightly uglier girls making out. Then it's one butch and one fem. And then, next thing you know you're livin' in a van down by the river.

A cure for what?

A cure for homosexuality. What else?

Why do we need to cure it? That's like trying to find a cure for being black.

Already found, M. Jackson has a patent on it and won;t share. :(
