Homosexuality and Evo, Creo, and ID

... then I am, very obviously, telling the truth. You froth and foam with hate, Faith, your posts drip with hate, they are delirious with hate, frantic with hate. The posts in which you deny being hateful are full of hate. This one is a case in point: Yeah, this is like saying "I'll go on hitting you in the face until you stop calling me violent."

Well, apart from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Iceland, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, Wales ... but I fear I'm interrupting you, you must have some accusations of lying you need to be getting on with.

You said it hadn't ever happened. If what you meant was something else, you should have said something else.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Outwardly you people foam and froth with hate, are we seriously meant to believe that this is just a hypocritical act, a phony pretense of hatred to conceal the fact that deep down you're all full of love and tolerance?

Well, bye-bye civilization. I guess we'll just have to struggle by with the "sheer barbarism" that goes on sending Faith her welfare checks, which as she has explained to us is theft.

Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55%

Um ... that came across as a bit crazy. No-one said they did. When you add up everyone, treating everyone the same, you get 55% favoring gay marriage. But the "popular viewpoint" is in fact in favor of gay marriage. As the poll shows.

Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55%.55% is a majority, Faith. It's a bigger majority than that by which we've selected any President since Reagan in '84. It's a majority, Faith. If we banned gay marriage, that would be "crammed down the throats of the majority of the people".

What, I'm going to burn in a hotter hell for more eternity because I love my neighbor as myself?Seriously, Faith, what are you going to threaten us with? According to your theology, I'm already going to suffer infinite pain for all eternity just for not subscribing to your theological beliefs. There's nothing extra that can happen to me for being kind to people, is there? Well, as soon as the guy holding the gun to your head goes home.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

I thought everyone was protected by the First Amendment. If you disagree, could you give us a list of the people who aren't? And, also, THE group that had been doing the oppressing and persecuting. And then went to America so that they could hang Quakers in accordance with the dictates of their conscience.

Meanwhile ...

So ... this. I don't often say this, but well played, evil bigot, well played. This is what I was talking about. She shouldn't have the right to refuse him service based on his views, but she should have the right to not actually endorse his views by providing him with a service. Let's ban discrimination by all means, but there ought to be a fence around people's first amendment rights --- the government can't force people to say things they violently disagree with.

Well, as a British expat I don't like to say anything bad about the UK. Nonetheless ... I do like the First Amendment, I like the rigid application of it. Then I look at Europe and I find that in the UK there are laws such as you cite --- and in France they can ban the burqa. If there is one thing the USA can teach the EU, it's that you need a First Amendment. If the government can control speech and expression ad hoc, then speech is not free, and you are not free.
