    So should the 'fundies' not be upset by those liberals who try to shove left-lying beliefs down their throats? Look at 'popular' television. Gays, lesbians, free flowing sex are all prevalent. But you don't see that as shoving it down our throats? The ratings are falling, so you can take your moral-less life and shove it up your...

    We've got tv's over here in California that allow the user to change channels, as well as a cool invention to turn the crazy thing on or off. When is that technology supposed to hit the Red states?

    Very well said.

    I'm also sick of waking up to "Girls Gone Wild" at 6:00 am on TV when kids are going to school, seeing 10 yr old girls wearing daisy dukes to school, and listen to scum of the Earth "shock jocks" like Howard Stern totally assasinate the President through vicious exploited "free-speech". A moral blacklash was due soon... and thats what we saw Nov 2.

    Then turn off your TV or radio, and don't let your kids wear Daisy Dukes. I mean, seriously, Bush ********ed up by going into Iraq when they didn't actually have the weapons he said they had, and 1000+ soldiers have died so far over there, but you want to re-elect him because 10-year-olds are wearing Daisy Dukes? Is he going to outlaw Daisy Dukes?

    In the immortal words of MiamiAce "Very well said."

    Once again we're hitting that "moral" wall, the place where things like blatant lies somehow aren't included in "morals", and young Americans dying in the name of those lies add up to less than a pair of cut-off blue jeans.

    "Then turn away, just shut up, let us be! You stay over there in your corner and not say anything!" Riiiight....

    ...because thats the nature of how human beings involve themselves in deciding what is best for our future, by just "turning away" from it if you don't like something. "Let's only look out for ourselves" is what you're saying. Gee, I'll try that when I'm witnessing a rape next time. Where did you learn such effective idealogues?

    any kid up at 6am on anything other than christmas morning deserves everything they get - they are not normal.

    I've no idea what a daisy duke is, but thinking girls are "too young to be wearing that" is one of those signs of ageing.

    how do you exploit free speech? Speech is free or it isn't. If you are going to impose limits on it then it stops becoming free speech. I don't know what he said and I don't care because generally when anyone has to shout and get angry to win an argument, then they din't have much of a case in the first place, but unless he said anything that was actually untrue, what's wrong with what he said?

    They were neck & neck in the polls for months. Not much sign of any 'lash' in either direction. If anything tipped the balance it might well have been Osama's 'carelessly' timed latest tape. Funny that. It's almost as if he wanted Bush to win and carry on his fine job of winning the hearts and minds of muslims in Iraq and beyond.

    Maybe you should contact the tv repair shop and let them know your on off switch and channel selector aren't working properly.

    If you're going to ban Howard Stern for assassinating Bush, we have to ban Rush Limbaugh for assassinating Clinton. There's a statute of limitiations for presidential assassination.

    What are your thoughts about lesbian porn?

    I think the outlawing of 'Daisy Dukes' is immenent. It is also an important use of our tax dollars, unlike body armor for men going to Iraq. Speaking of Iraq, I noticed that even though the mission has been accomplished, we are still instilling a lot of democracy over there. God Bless. In the net, etc.

    So i guess drunk driving (bush), phone sex adultery with your empolyees (o'reilly), and illegal drug usage (limbaugh) are all moral? Aren't these people the leaders of your moral revolution? good role models... maybe i'll become a conservative republican. they sound so.... moral. :)

    No one shoves anything down anyone's throat on television. There's this really cool invention called a remote... it has a bunch of numbers on it, as well as buttons that allow you to navigate between channels. In a split second, you can rid your TV of liberal scum and turn on the 700 Club or NASCAR. Use it.

    I agree with you about Rush Limbaugh. I find him to be another unpleasant and destructive radio personality just as the shock jocks. He's no exception just because he's Republican. His interpretations of "values" are a distortion of the real values that many conservatives speak up for. I don't think he's as vitriolic as the liberal radio personalities, but point taken, he's no role model.

    I'm not sure why you brought up lesbian porn... if you're asking me do I like it... No. I love women but not gay women, never have. Why you may ask? Because I see no difference in female gay porn as male gay porn and it's both disgusting. If you enjoy lesbian porn, it's only a matter of time before you're curious in homosexual porn followed by serious interest in it. And according to some studies in porn addiction, that was indeed the next step in which many porn addicts admit to... just thought I let you know since you asked!.. ;)

    Exactly! There are plenty of conservative and "Fair and Balanced" media outlets and leaders out there. Both have there pros and cons and all are biased one way or another. Listen to Rush. If you disagree with him you are a liberal idiot. How is that not biased media?

    Actually, I go all the time! Two of my best friends live there and it was practically my second home during my high school and college years. But it doesn't mean I have to inject myself with the notion that homosexuality is "normal" just because a few of them walk around the strip. In fact, gays on South Beach is at a very small number of the total population of the island... I would say like 2%, it may look worse because they like to gather on 2 popular corners of sobe. But they mind their own business and I respect them for that, they dont have parades nor flaunt their sexuality like other cities I've seen, except for on Halloween night, but hey, everyone is flaunting somekind of stupid behavior that night. I do personally know a couple of people who say they're gay, and I've told them to their face that I believe gay people are entitled to the civil rights of inheritance, insurance benefits, etc, but I don't believe they need to be "married" in order for the law to give them those rights and I also tell them how I don't approve of homosexuality, they understand my positions if they're mature about it.

    Just giving you some grief. I lived there for the last 6 years before moving back to Texas and know all about the culture and lifestyles.

    I have always wondered what the detraction about gay marriage is. In essence, marriage is a contract between two people, which, when recognized by the state, gives the privledges you mentioned above. Is it the religious side of it that gets to people? I am married and if two men or women were to tell me they were married, all it really means to me is that they love each other enough to enter into a longterm binding relationship and want to spend the rest of their lives together. Would it be better to change to term to "union" or something else?

    This will continue to be a big debate over the years.

    Well, what you're asking me to do is to give you my entire reasons for where I stand, and others as well, on the issue. One would have to use a theological reasoning with conservative conviction in order to elaborate the fundamental problem with gay 'marriage', and it would be quite lengthy for me to explain step by step of how this issue defies the principal nature, not the social nature, of marriage and life's continuance. But I'll sum something up and perhaps you can get an understanding. First of all, would it be soluble to permit "civil unions" to gays? No. Lets just be honest with each other... I would be lying to myself and cheating gay people if I were to allow "civil unions" and not marriage to them. The idea of a "civil union" is basically a marriage, but used in another word. People who oppose gay "marriage" but approve of "civil unions" should just come out and support gay "marriage" and not the 'imitation' form of marriage. They are lying to themselves if they believe conventional marriage will not be tarnished by "civil unions". Take for example the Netherlands... the Dutch first enacted gay "civil unions" which easily opened the way for gay "marriage" in due time.

    Is gay "marriage" only a religious matter? Absolutely not. One does not need to be religious, nor Christian, nor Jew, to understand the reasoning behind the preservation for the natural concept of marriage between one man and one woman, and not trying to redefine or rename this natural concept. Notice I said "natural" concept of marriage. While some people think marriage pertains to only a religious concept, marriage existed long before sacraments and longer before the church itself. Even in ancient cultures, the lifelong union of a man and a woman for mutual love and support, as well as for the protection of children, was a FACT OF LIFE, not a theological or religious invention. Marriage should be recognized as the divine plan for humanity, because through the marital act, which is the physical joining of a man and woman, society's very survival is ensured. Also, the spouses' lifelong commitment provides a stable environment to which to raise and nurture those future generations. Same-sex unions do not fit any such definition of marriage. They are contrary to natural law. In the principal definition of traditional marriage (not in circumstantial situations), natural pro-creation is possible through this natural love of one man and one woman. Whereas in 2 females or in 2 males, you not only have impossibility of natural pro-creation between them in circumstantial situations, but in principal it is still impossible! Therefore, if you change the principal defintion and safeguard of marriage, then you have created something entirely new apart from its original concept. There is even a lot more to explain through human reasoning, but to keep this short I'll conclude with this philosophical comparison: if you find an apple with a worm in it (a circumstantial situation).. does the worm become part of the definition of the apple? I would think not.

    Awfully nice of you not to "cheat" gays and lesbians. I'm sure your kindness and honesty is universally admired.

    Study some anthropology. Hell, just google the phrase "kinship structures," and you'll see that this is total ahistorical, ethnocentric blindness.


    I thought you said it wasn't a religious issue. Indeed, you did:

    You're very, very confused. You should take note of the number of cultures historically wherein polygamy was practiced, and justified on religious grounds. You can start by reading the Book of Genesis. Then, if you can grasp the idea that "marriage" is historically and culturally conditioned, you might be able to come up with a better argument for your cause, instead of one that just rationalizes -- and renders sacred -- a fear of gays of lesbians.

    There are many heterosexual couples that do or never plan on having kids. Do they not qualify for marriage if it is a crucial part of marriage?


    If two men or women live together and love each other are given the label "Married", will society and civilization come to a complete stop?


    Again, procreation shoudl not be a guideline for a binding commitment. Should infertile men or women be barred from marriage?

    In my opinion, the denial of rights and privledges to a group of people because of the sexuality (which is a personal choice) is as wrong as denying the same to people of differing religions, beliefs etc.
