@dexterxyz I don't think the Christian attitude towards homosexuality is rooted in "tradition". It's rooted in a belief that it is God's view. (Right or wrong)

@lnagelbagel What's a "homophobic community"? Are there certain towns or districts set aside for them?

@dvrn86 I was drawing on a personal experience; without going into details, several years ago I found myself in conservative Christian "environment", not exactly by choice; I found out very quickly how to distinguish between people who saw the Bible as something to smack me with (figuratively!), ...

@homoguy563 Uh....It's called "Gay Marines"....

Would be hilarious if it weren't so serious....a judge talking about going to Mecca, what it's like in other countries, "we're so concerned about our rights we don't care about other people's rights"???? I started to think he was having a stroke.

@canon976 "how is that he actually seems more straight in glee where he plays a gay guy rather than in real life where he is straight..." Not intending this in a mean way at all, since the guy seems really cool, but I was wondering the exact same thing. (Maybe it's his musical theater backgroun...

I think she's more beautiful here than in her younger MGM days, when they gave her makeup and hair styles that often made her look artificial and "lacquered". She's so much more womanly and natural here.

Oh my God...is Obama still "evolving" on this issue? It's enough to make a creationist.

I'm no Tea Partier, but is calling your opponents "demons" helping to "bring us together"? And she wasn't so against the bank her husband held stock in when she maneuvered Federal funds to it.

Kim Jong-il said he "and the people of North Korea" agreed to do this or that? At what point did Kim ever solicit the opinion of the people he ruled over? How could Carter say that with a straight face?

Hell, for all we know maybe it DID help the harvest.

Did I doze off and miss the part where he was put on trial, evidence was presented, the jury deliberated and came back with a Guilty verdict? That was quite a nap.

@qqxxttmm "We know what the gay agenda is and we WILL stop it dead in its tracks!!!!!" You haven't stopped much in the last few days. Train seems to be on the tracks and full steam ahead.

@ThePrincessIvonne You said: "You just Dont Get that Letting gay people Be in a Civil Union we are giving in to something that Goes Completely against everything We Believe in! But to you That Doesnt matter, Or its Worthless!" No, a civil union (or dometic partnership) is not "worthless", but if...

I'm certainly against racism, but I think this brief snippet of film isn't the most shocking example I've ever seen, and I'm pretty sure context would make it even less so.

@MegaAstrodude Well, as far as that juror not being able to comprehend the simple basics of statistical reasoning, I don't think we can blame the attorneys. I watched (a lot of) the trial, and the information was there, were she able to process it.

@mjb519 "[W]hy dont all the gays and lesbian just live together?...You cant marry 2 people of the same gender !...in the eye's of God its a abomination !!!!" Really? God thinks it's an abomination for gays to get married, but just great if they cohabit sexually without marriage? What part of the ...

@hoshikei2 Yeah, I did read her mother's comments, which do indicate she's influenced her child's views. When I was VERY young I probably thought my parents were right about everything, but by fourteen I had already pretty much decided the opposite(!) My main point is that I've seen some really v...

@AdamTh1 "Putting civil rights of others to a vote...goes against the purpose of having a constitution." I don't know where you live or how things work there; in my state (California) all constitutional amendments and revisions have to be approved by popular vote. I think it's the way in most sta...

@mblizzle09 I actually thought Streep was good, and I always like Denzel; what I DIDN'T like was the updated premise. It's hard to put ourselves in the atmosphere of 1962, but the original was pretty nervy in taking shots against both the right and the left in the era of Communism. It's obvious t...

@safarigurl150 I didn't want to give the impression that I'm defending this Petra woman or her lifestyle, OR that I think she "deserves" it. I'm just saying that someone that privileged and entitled is beyond the reach of anyone's resentment, and that if she's even aware of the sniping the most i...

This is so much better than that awful "We are the World" thing; it's kind of lighthearted in a serious cause, and nobody has that phony sweaty intensity of "I have the whole universe on my shoulders and I'm saving all of humanity with my singing." They're just a bunch of pop stars having fun doi...

All of these history lessons are fascinating, but there is only one issue that matters: What do the Falkland Islanders want here and now? We all know the answer to that, and only someone who wants to revive the principles of colonialism in the 21st century would think anything else is relevant. T...

@EmperorSanz "They are trying to give the people a voice and choice of sovereignty through dialogue" I'm not sure who "they" are, but it sounds as if the the dialogue you advocate would include everyone but the residents of the Falkland Islands, since it's only by ignoring their voice that Argent...

@rsb176 "Give up you shit plowing disgrace!" Give up? We're winning; that's what this video's all about. So...go ahead. Laugh.

@ebonics4everyone Why leave? We're winning here.

No matter how you slice it, he looked respectful and she came off really bad.

@bgibb101 I don't exactly doubt that, although my own observation (after many years of observing!) is that this kind of "frivolous" behavior is more common among gay men than lesbians, which I think has to do with how guys are in general (no, not all, but you know what I mean)

In the end this is all pointless and a needless distraction from any attempt to try to find an actual solution to the Middle East situation. Even if you agree with this guy's opinion of Zionism from a philosophical point of view, Israel's existence as a Jewish state isn't going to be reversed any...

@jenniferjovi Meow, what a bitch.

@jpb219 "Quite frankly, I don't see what was so wrong with don't ask, don't tell. The military didn't ask what your sexual orientation was and you were under no obligation to disclose it." I'm sure you know it wasn't that simple; sure, they "equally" didn't ask anyone, gay or straight, about thei...

@Noroyalmistake66 Of course you have the right to express your opinion! No matter how jealous and pathetic it makes you sound!

@tallchick80 "The generations that follow them will hate their guts." Assuming that's true, and they know it, I doubt that the knowledge keeps them up at night fretting too much.

@TheSimplyQua You said: "President Obama hasn't started ANY wars. He's dealing with the aftermath of Bush/Congress so-called pre-emotive strikes against Iraq & Afghanistan. In fact, he voted AGAINST these as a Congressman." But that doesn't explain why, instead of stopping these wars he's suppos...
