    Well I was going to say serial killers for the low percentile but I knew sure fire if I did then I'd be blamed for comparing queers to serial killers.

    I see people trying to work out how to be fair living under secular laws while staying true to what they believe. There are a couple signs in my area
    (outside businesses) that state similar yet opposite sentiments. They just haven't made the news. Personally I think all signs like these send a "back at cha" kind of message. I hope it doesn't become a common thing.

    I'm perfectly fine with your desire to cry about a particular group of people being mentioned.
    I'm also OK with your choice to claim homosexuality and cannibalism were compared in my comment, despite the fact that they weren't.
    And, I'm good with your intentional unwillingness to move past said word and admit you understand the point that was made.

    The important thing is.... we all agree that the logic you used in "3% think it's normal", in this discussion.... was absolutely ridiculous.


    I just wonder if I had said "redheads".... if you'd have been better able to focus on the discussion.
    Or would you have chosen to ignore the topic in the same way.

    So you will choose to ignore christians have tortured and even murdered gays. Why did you ask for data if you planned on ignoring it?

    Don't get hung up in this "normal" bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Nobody that is human is normal, so the norm is not to be normal. They are talking about this because they are the freaks. They want everybody to fit their little cookie cutter way if life. Variations among humans disgust them, they have even said it. Would anybody but their fellow cookie cutter manufactured people want to fit their definition of normal? Sounds too bizarre to me. Really bizarre, like cult bizarre.

    Come on, dairyair. I said no matter how much you support or oppose it, it's still not normal. I never said I had a beef with a gay person. I also said it's tolerable.

    The point being made is those involved in cannibalism think it is normal for them. And it is normal for them.

    The fact most think it is not normal and some will say disgusting and should be rid of. Just like some want gays to be rid of or at least go back into the closet. That point is loud and clear,

    Yet all I see is posting negative on gay issues. Hence my confusion.

    You were the one who said Canadians were the "barbarians at the gate", not me. And that connotes fear, as it suggests that they are about to break thorough the gate and ruin 'Merca.

    And your statement is pretty ridiculous, claiming Canadians are barbarians. They are far more civil and kind than many in the US. And they don't put up with religious right foolishness either. Maybe that's what scares you.

    And you are surprised?

    36 tries to come off as not caring is gays get certain rights. But I'm starting to think it's not true and being hypocritical. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

    They are disgusted by variations in humanity. They are angry when people don't fit their cookie cutter.

    Yet, you totally ignored my showing you christians have done great damage to gays. Even though you wanted data, claiming no christian has ever hurt a gay. Your words. False words.

    High, mighty, selfrighteous hypocrites. That plank is way to large for them to pull out of their eye.

    Sorry, but they are freedom hating barbarians. Any nation that limits freedom for PC foolishness should be viewed with hostility...

    You dont have to understand how "women feel", as this issue doesnt depend on gender,


    You ahve a Human who tells you that when they now look at an "object" it reminds them of the...ahem...turmoiil they went through. I submit that by giving them the same..yet different object...they will still reflect back on the same memory that they spoke of with regards to the first object.

    It's simply common sense. Their statement tells us that now a certain Item is permantly etched into their minds with an associated memory.

    Has 0 to do with being a Woman or Understanding the gender. Your deflections here are as transparent and weak as 1 Ply toilet paper.

    Oh boy. I'm glad people like you do not run our government. You clearly have not spent much time in Canada.

    Conversely, any country that limits freedoms for religious foolishness should be viewed with hostility.

    Oh, you think that's normal? Really? BTW, this has nothing to do with SSM. Unless you don't know the difference between animals and humans. Interestingly, a lot of right wingers have a difficult time knowing the difference between animals and humans, and children and adults. Quite disturbing.

    he was politically pressured. No different than the mob coming by and saying "we haven't recieved your protection payments... we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you and your business"

    Saying he's stupid to give the refund is very narrow sighted. I'm sure he has a family that he is trying to support and the last thing he needs is the gay mafia ruining his business "because he's a bigot that provides excellent service"


    We all would love to think we'd stand up and fight.... but when mortgage payment comes, and the possibility of your kids being homeless, or uprooting your family, sometimes, you swallow your pride and do what's best for your family.

    Personally, I can not afford to get into a political battle when my family's welfare is at risk.

    he's always missed the point. Blinded by agenda

    If they honestly have that much influence and power (which is doubtful), nothing he does at this point will appease their desire to afflict more pain.

    Call me an idiot but I've met some gays, and others, I would pay if it meant they would go away.

    Hardly doubt he needed their business.... or wants it.
