So true! It reminds me of having a debate with my cat.

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense.

If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time"

I think that poster might be too off the wall even for all the zealous nutters over there.

No one has done a complete and final study of homosexuality in the modern world- no one has bothered to question individuals on mass who are gay - what they really thing it's all about. The movement is so strong and governed by political correctness that even so-called gays are not allowed to speak their minds... so we can get a clear and concise over view of the issue.

There you go again (as usual) blaming me for your words which I never said or implied - you typed those words; now your blaming me??

How can anyone dispute " that you are braindead" ? Its OBVIOUS

FOR THE RECORD: I hate religion, it is phony - powerless & man made!
