Re: Poor Rob
I wonder if all you homos and homophiles are happy now that you forced poor Rob to take down his cross and go home.
"Homos"? "Homophiles?" Is it necessary to use bigoted language?
If Rob isn't interested in supporting his statements with evidence, but in throwing bitch-fits instead, I hope he stays gone. Who gives a shit?

Well, that's an absolute falsehood, though you certainly have a bad habit of making these spurious accusations as smokescreens.
I quoted your statement verbatim, exactly as you made it, and precisely contrary to your implication otherwise.

Hey, Rob hijacked my thread and used it to bring his wrath upon gay people and you don't see me complaining.

Re: Poor Rob
See, I don't see what remarks like that contribute to the debate. They seem unneccesarily belligerent and contrary to the Forum guidelines, particularly rule 10.
You don't seem particularly interested in legitimate debate. Why is that?

poor crash
you ever tell someone a joke, but they don't laugh? it's pretty clear they don't get it, but they always try to pretend like the joke just wasn't funny afterwards.
yeah.

Re: Inalienable Rights...from now on, that is.
Why not scrap the whole "civil union" and base benefits on what the beneficiaries want?
If somebody lives with his father, why can't his father be a part of his dental plan? If somebody lives with his brother, why can't he get time off to take care of him when he's sick? (For that matter, why do they even have to live together?)
Why not divorce the whole concept of "benefits" from marriage?
Then "traditionalists" wouldn't have to boo-hoo about not being allowed to discriminate.
That's the best idea I've heard all day

You forgot "homophones".
And no one forced him to do anything. It's clear that he was not ready for prime time.

But was it POLITICALLY CORRECT to persecute the poor fellow into an embarrassing withdrawal? I thought the whole gay thing was all about tolerrance and understanding.

Re: Inalienable Rights...from now on, that is.
Hi, Jade.
I have an even better idea. Everyone should just have a dental plan (and a medical plan and an unemployment plan) regardless of who they are living with, or even if they are not living with anyone at all.

But government...is not simply the way we express ourselves collectively but also often the only way we preserve our freedom from private power and its incursions. -- Bill Moyers (quoting John Schwarz)

Isn't the whole gay thing all about just being gay?

Re: Poor Rob
The term "POLITICALLY CORRECT" is not something I really understand (or really care about) and, thus, I can't answer your question.
If Rob found the withdrawal embarassing, there's not a lot I can do about it (as no one forced him to withdraw).
I don't know what you mean by "the whole gay thing". Are you referring to civil rights?
