PUBLIC schools teach children homosexual lifestyle is OK (your right) but teach nothing of the opposing side of the argument (my right lost). I could continue with the examples, but the core is the “threat” of litigation by the LGBT or other group. LGBT desires forced acceptance of a lifestyle. I say lifestyle because it is CHOICE. I can come up with as many arguments as you for right and wrong. Black, white, male, and female are physical forms that are not chosen but you want me to believe that this is not the case. A male could really be a female. I should be able to choose to be black, brown, etc because I believe it. Where does it end?! AJ2003"

Quote :

"Lovemypirates--I have spent 62 years hunting and observing all type of game and woodland animals. I have never seen any, repeat, NEVER seen any animals par-take in same sex acts of any sort. I have hunted 26 States and 5 foreign countries and and never witnessed what you claim. Offer some proof, or are you just babbling ? Lastly same sex marriage was voted down "By the People" and will be very hard to override."

"LovemyPirates Please tell me about same sex acts being common in nature! I grew up on a farm where we had many kinds of animals! I NEVER saw same sex animals attracted to each other!!! Stop trying to convince us that wrong is right because you will NEVER convince me!!!!"

Quote :

"Tell us lady Justice just how many don't have a class room. Yes the student teacher ratio is about 20-25 per class. And the teachers are crying that is too much. It's too much because they are too lazy to teach. babedan I totally agree "babedan", teachers are way to lazy, always complaining, not making enough money, no raises for not getting higher test scores .... when I went to school (30+ yrs ago), we didn't have teacher assistants, class size was 30-35 students, some schools had over crowding, but we dealt with it and I think I turned out pretty good,I can read & write, more than what I see today. Hey, try driving a school bus with 60-70 kids aboard and tell me that's not over crowding? Granted drivers don't have kids all day, but you don't hear the drivers complaining. Teachers want more and more, just like Wake County schools board, must both be from the same egg."

"Yes the student teacher ratio is about 20-25 per class"

But teacher student ratio is an average, it also includes specialists that are licensed teachers but don't teach full classes.

^also from the article,

Quote :

"The Amazon river dolphin or boto has been reported to form up in bands of 3–5 individuals enjoying group sex. The groups usually comprise young males and sometimes one or two females. Sex is often performed in non-reproductive ways, using snout, flippers and genital rubbing, without regard to gender.[59] In captivity, they have been observed to sometimes perform homosexual and heterosexual penetration of the blowhole, a hole homologous with the nostril of other mammals, making this the only known example of nasal sex in the animal kingdom.[59][60]"

In regards to the story on the fair worker who was injured when the ride fell on him when they were dissembling it

Quote :

"On occasion don't the fair employ locals to help with the assembly and disassembly of the rides and equipment. I know they did years ago, I helped with the local fair once. I said years ago, back in the early 60's I doubt you could get such a job in our nanny society. Everything you do is hazardous and we are becoming too dependent on government to look after us. We were born with a sense of sight, smell, taste and hearing..If it doesn't look right, smell right, taste right, or look right, its a darn good chance you best pass it up."

10/28/2013 8:09:38 PM

So he should have licked the ride first?

10/28/2013 8:33:51 PM

Only after looking at it twice.

10/28/2013 8:59:42 PM

"You Darwinists are free to worship at your shrine of evolution. Creationists don't believe the Bible teaches that the earth is only six thousand years old. Genesis says that this planet was without form and void, and it doesn't tell us how long it was in that state before God called into existence everything we see. You evolutionists have to have more faith to believe what you believe, than I do to believe the Bible. Evolution is a religion for people who think if they don't believe in God, then they won't be accountable to Him. It will all come out in the wash, folks. Most of us who believe the Bible were once believers in your false doctrine."

Quote :

"If you claim to believe in science then you must believe in the scientific method. Which means you have to be able to repeat and observe something. Nobody has ever been able to repeat or observe evolution. EVER!! And I agree neither has creation. They are both belief systems. One that man is an accident of nature. One that man is the image of God and has value. If I am going to put my faith in something it will be GOD!"

Quote :

"Scientist DO make assumptions (hypothesis) as a starting point. That is not in doubt. But to say something is "fact" or "settled science" they have to be able to show that the assumption they made is observable and repeatable. Until you can do that you can not say, if you claim to be a scientist, that something goes from a theory to a fact. People here keep talking about gravity. Gravity can be observed. The force of gravity can be repeated over and over and over. Until someone, perhaps Bill Nye, can stand in a lab and make one species turn into another species, evolution will never, and can never, be considered a fact. That is if you believe in the scientific method."

From the "Republican activists push party on gay marriage" article:
http://www.wral.com/republican-activists-push-party-on-gay-marriage/13587164/

Quote :

" GOLDENOSPREY APR 24, 9:21 A.M. True Republicans must stand firm against this unGodly trend foisted on us by the secular Hollywood left. Marriage is one man and one woman. Case closed. If Republicans give up on these important family values, they will look like they don't care for families, or the values that made this country great. Just because 59% of people who answered a poll support gay marriage, that does not change Biblical proof. Most people support abortion rights, but in most states the GOP opposes abortion and still gets candidates elected. Double down on this important moral stand, GOP."

But lets be honest here. Comments on the internet have been retarded since the invention of comments on the internet.

Have you ever checked out youtube comments? I mean I rarely even waste my time looking at them, because by and large they are so ridiculous, it isn't worth the time. CNN comments are just as bad as wral. But youtube...youtube is the worst. It may be nonpartisan for the most part, but there are some idiots out there posting on youtube videos.

5/28/2014 3:26:55 PM

no way, right wing commenters are a lot worse. It's not surprising, right wing idiots have been fueled and trained by conservative radio talk shows for decades and liberals have never really had an equivalent. perhaps one day liberals will be just as bad, but right now right wing idiots still have the lead.
