I support businesses that support free speech and this one wouldn't get my business. When you have employees that are free to criticize your business, that is a healthy business culture. He took care to hide his name and place of business. What more does Levy want?

This is so cute! Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:15:07 +0000 http://www.kboi2.com/news/offbeat/Baby-robin-cuddles-up-with-cats-159466105.html#IDComment385010690 http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/frail_and_aged_a_giant_apologizes/#IDComment384969843 Every person who supports gayness is not gay, true, but the person nearly always has underlying skeletons. Here are what might cause some heterosexuals to support the gay cause: 1. They are weak or cowards who cannot stand up to peer pressure and the gay lobby. Cowardice is a character defect. 2. They live in sexual immorality (heterosexual) themselves. They may be prostitutes, had sex before marriage, had affairs, or divorced and remarried. So naturally sexual perverts will defend other types of sexual perverts. Of course, people like this are just as capable of gay-bashing and transphobia. Once you commit sexual misdeeds, you forever lose your objectivity on the matter, so you either condone it or judge it, and can never be neutral on the topic again. 3. They failed to teach their kids that gayness is wrong and thus lost a child to AIDS or gay-bashing by their failure to teach them better. So this guilt drives them to justify themselves and to take up for the very behaviors which killed their children, either as a way to make other parents suffer or as an act of denial. Who wants to lose a son to being a sexual pervert? So all they have to do is twist it into something admirable and good.

If sexual abuse caused gay thoughts, the child clearly didn't choose that. Nobody *IS* gay, it is merely a social construct. As for the environmental theories, I believe that multiple ones and different ones are at work. No 2 gay people are alike, and all got that way by different causes.

Highly motivated people who truly want to change can. The reason every "reputable" organization opposes it is because they have all been hijacked and compromised a long time ago by LGBT persons. Plus how do you explain the thousands who have left the gay lifestyle with no evidence of repressing anything? In addition, the goal of therapy is not to become completely heterosexual, but to be less gay. Unlike alcohol therapy, it is not always cold turkey. If a person is so gay that they cannot function and they are sleeping with 10 people a night, and therapy would help them to only see 1 person a night, wouldn't that be worth it and an improvement?

The problems that many have with Catholicism is the gayness that has infiltrated the Church. Most of the ones doing the criminal acts were not heterosexuals. A man has a penis and a boy has a penis, and what do you call sexual contact between 2 people with a penis?

You are either a person who chooses to have sex with members of the same sex, or you are not. It should not be thought of as an identity but a social construct built around certain behaviors. It doesn't matter if you were born with immoral thoughts as long as you never act on them. Just being born with certain feelings does not mean you deserve a free pass to do what you feel. Up to 70% of all alcoholics are born with the addiction gene, but we don't give them free passes to drive while drunk and kill or injure others. Likewise, being born with pedophile tendencies is not a crime and can never be outlawed. However, engaging in pedophilia is what is wrong. As long as they don't engage in such acts, they are no different than other people. Or compare to bestiality. Just because some might be born attracted to other species doesn't mean they should yield to it or be given the legal right.

When you encounter something like that, you need some affirmative action type bias to balance it out.

But the police caught him. Seriously, chipping human would be one of the most inhumane, privacy-evading things to do, and I can see the current regime doing it.

The beagle could hardly get around, but it still managed to kill the rabbit. Anyway, a dog is still a dog. That is like in the book, The Call of the Wild. When his last owners were abusive and he managed to break from the pack, he turned wild and let his instincts out.

I think maybe CNN is being racist for punishing a Black guy for using phrases common to his culture. They count the dozens and talk smack like that all the time. They mean nothing by it. Now if he had mentioned gay and gun in the same sentence, it might be different. The reference about pink doesn't have to be about gays, but femininity, and maybe someone too obsessed with underwear ads could use some sense knocked into them. As for tolerance, maybe CNN could stand to learn some.

So it is harder to "just get more," and they will shake down anyone, even children and the elderly to get them. Besides, if the moon landing was a hoax, the government doesn't want evidence around. Ironically, this will make the samples worth more on the black market.
