Because for 99% of these slobbering geeks there is absolutely nothing going on in their bedrooms. Since, as you pointed out in the other thread, we are still in the negotiating phase of getting them some kind of sex, they have nothing better to do than worry about what someone else is doing.
Lol..🙂

LOL. how much negotiating does one do with one's hand?
 
I find it strange that many people choose to be part of an institution whose foundation harbors so much hate.

Something from Hearts in Atlantis...

said.
. ."Fvck yeah, me too. What little kid ever pretended to be part of
the lynch-mob?"
 
polygamy - having more than one spouse
polyandry - having more than one husband
polygyny - having more than one wife

Don't know how they apply to gays.
 
I love the choice argument.

Lets say black people had a choice to be white so instead of accepting black people, we still persecuted them. So basically you are born black and choose to be white simply to blend in. Because you know, if you were to choose to stay black, you would get persecuted. Now does that make the persecution ok since the choice is there to hide who you truly are?

Then how come the same logic applies to gays and makes sense. Many gay people have to hide who they are and live in pain simply for fear of what would happen should they reveal what they truly are.

I don't read the paper, so I don't really care whether those announcements are in there. Just felt like responding on choice since it was brought up a lot the first page. I still can't understand the logic, because no one can prove to me that it is even an actual choice (like an example, I love girl#1 and guy#1 and I chose guy#1).

Your comparison is unrealistic, "Lets say" means that there is NOT a possibility of chosing what race your are born as. It is a 'HYPOTHETICAL' scenario and uncapable of becoming reality, unless you are Michael Jackson, who now has white looking skin but is still black. This means that you can't really change what GOD made to be no matter what. If homosexuality was in the plan then don't adopt or get a sperm donor or get a surrogate mother. Have sex with the "one you love" and make a baby. You can't! I wonder why?:Q

Also, white people may decided they want to be black to have bigger butts or bigger Oscar Meyers.😉

In short, the same logic does NOT apply, because there is no logic to begin with when one cannot chose race but can chose with whom to have sexual relations.

Los Angeles, California) A chain of mid sized newspapers has become the first publisher to order all of its papers to print gay and lesbian commitment announcements. Freedom Communications Inc began the announcements in its flagship paper, "The Orange County [Calif.] Register," and this week extended the policy to all its papers. The company owns more than thirty newspapers in 11 states, including "The [Alton, Ill.] Telegraph," the "Brownsville [Texas] Herald," and "The [Panama City, Fla.] News Herald." "This is another huge step for gay and lesbian couples," said Joan M. Garry, executive director for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). link 🙂 Another step in the right direction...equality.

Horrible. I know what newspapers I'm not buying.

Haha. I can't begin to fathom the extent of your stupidity. People like you are what's wrong with the world today, not homosexuals or atheists. And I love the irony of the last sentence in your sig. Haha. Seriously, I just have to laugh.

The denial of marriage to gays as a denial of human rights is questionable, as it depends on the definition. Marriage in most religions and cultures is the lifelong commitment between a man and a woman to raise a family. There is no reason to get married really outside of religion. Quite frankly, the only reason the government has legal mariages is so they can tax you, at least in my opinion. Is being a couple really an inherent human trait? I would say polygamists give doubt to that. So you can't really say that getting married is a human right. So what it boils down to is this: a.) There is a different type of "coupleship" to distinguish it from the traditional "marriage," b.) Make marriage a thing of the state and so the government can define it as they please, or c.) Remove marriage from government control, so people can get married as they want, by who they want, however they want it.

And I'd like to say legalizing polygamy may be quite of a problem, possibly even more so than marrying relatives, as the handling of divorces settlements, child ownership, and other such possible disputes would be magnified when there is a marriage with more than two people, making legal resolution highly touchy and extremely difficult.
 
no there are more reasons, off the top of my head insurance coverage, inheritence issues and important legal ones. remember that woman that got mauled to death by two huge dogs in san fransisco? her partner couldn't sue over wrongful death and stuff because she wasn't legally recognized as spouse.

marriage isn't just a simple vow now u know.

oh yea medical rights when your spouse is dying etc.
 
It is so hard to find somebody who loves and cares for you and about whom you love and care about.It seems to me that such announcements ought to at least give a person a small smile knowing that for however long two people have managed to come together.

Announcing their love doesn't take anything from you,this life is hard and way too damn short to be so mean spirited imho.

This is perhaps the first time I agree with you.
 
if you people saw what i have seen you may think a little differently about gays,my friends parents had a gay friend and i didnt know he was gay till i really thought about it,then at night he got drunk and went skinny dipping with my friends dad,his dad isnt gay,but he was hitting on him like crazy,and his wife was there,he was holding him naked right in front of his wife and me,and she wasnt mad,that expierence has changed my life forever.it was disgusting, sick vile. why should i not care that this asshole was almost trying to frickem in front of his wife me my little brother and my mom. why the hell should that nasty a$$ sh!t happen in the world at all. so thats why im like "Gay people can fvck off and die"

should i be tolerant about crap like this? what the hell, how could sum1 do poo. how could sum1 like a guy WTH

Gay rights are human rights

I don't agree with this statement. Sexuality has NOTHING to do with humanity. Just watch the animal channel and you will see that most living things have sex, and NORMALLY with the opposite sex. People do NOT need to know who is in your bedroom unless they are paying to see it! Most people are just nosy as he!!. If you want to be treated like a human being then act like a human being and all should be fine.

I would not be and am not gay, but it would be MY business if I were.

What a crock of shiite! Monkeys will have intercourse with other male or female, just to get a load off so don't go there mmm kay. Monkeys are also considered our ancestors. Unless you are Christian and believe that god created us. <rolls eyes>

Gay and Lesbian rights are human rights. Just because your sexual preference is different from the rest of the human race doesn't make you not human. That's ridiculous..... <throws keyboard>

If your read the animal channel reference you will see that I said "MOST", because I am well aware that there are other "FREAKS of Nature" that may not be human. Although if you know anything about monkeys you will also be aware that they are very closely related to humans! 🙂 But, most consider them a lower life form that doesn't know any better. They are "ANIMALS" for goodness sake!

You are also ignorant about Christianity. Christians believe in JESUS I do not. Go to a Christian Church sometime there are a LOT of homosexuals there. So belief in GOD does not deter some people from engaging in homosexual behavior. I forgot about the Catholic child molesting priests! I hope your keyboard broke, as it was dumb to throw it and your comment was dumb as well.

I am not a Christian or Catholic, and I don't go to church by the way. Too many fake people as can be seen by the previous examples.
