That was a better way to put it, not really insulting.

It's not about respect. All religions are based on falsehoods and myths. Saying they are not is like insisting the sky is red. Anyone can see it's not true.

1. I would consider 2 parents and 4+ kids is a large family.

2. It's totally up to the parents how many kids they have but unless you have the means to take care of tons of kids, it's not the best choice to make.

3. Do I think it should be enforced by the law? No, but I think it should be encouraged. It's total BS that families get some as many tax rebates and cuts as they do just for having kids. They use way more resources than anyone else and should pay accordingly. I hate that single me has to subsidise people that have no idea about family planning.

I must be missing something...

You're allowed to say this, yet if someone says that gays are making a deliberate choice and are degenerates, afterall, anyone can see it's true...
You'd pitch a fit.

Go Ne is right.
You're a bit self-centered....

Getting back to the topic of this thread ... is it really true that Lincoln is more conservative than Omaha? I live in a small town of 7000 people where same-sex marriage is a non-issue, not even on the radar screen. In fact we were even written up in the SF Chronicle for being so inexplicably normal. But it's a prominent issue in the nearest city of 100,000 people, as I have assumed it must be for all big cities.

Is same-sex marriage an issue in Lincoln? Is there an active homosexual movement in Lincoln?

Modcut- inapproriate and inflamatory.
Just wondering. Omaha has much more in the way of job opportunities, but I wonder if it's really a family-friendly environment.

oh for Pete's sake...
Usually I can spot a troll a mile away.



Sorry. My bad.
I didn't mean to keep feeding this one.

Now this is a real puzzle. I've seen hundreds of references on these boards to "rednecks", "hillbillies", "trailer trash", "breeders", "fundamentalists", etc., and how certain people find this element undesirable, and how some cities should be avoided because of them, and so forth.

Say the same kinds of things about the presence of activist homosexuals in a city, and suddenly it becomes "inappropriate and inflammatory". Homosexuals can insult "breeders" freely, but they must never be criticized.

The moderator is right in a certain way. This whole topic is "inappropriate". ItsMeFred's 9-year old daughter should not be reading about it. I myself should probably have left a long time ago. Not content to keep their vices to themselves, the homosexuals insist on contaminating public discourse and forcing everyone, without distinction, to respond to their specific issues - either positively with due rewards, or negatively with due retribution.

I mentioned a billboard in my last post, probably too explicitly. I left Sacramento when that same billboard was put up all over the city and I didn't want to have to explain it to my children. See how this works? The homosexuals have succeeded in changing the atmosphere of an entire city in a way that the moderators at City-Data.com - God bless 'em! - will not allow to happen to their boards.

And we're not supposed to fight back?

I saw and reported your post which you didn't think was offensive and obviously was. It was willfully attacking gay people and derogatory. This is a private forum so you have to abide by the rules.

The post did not "attack" anybody. It described homosexuals accurately and explained what they do to ruin cities for families. I've seen it all first hand.

No argument there.
