No, you're not included. The insults started on the very first page.

Considering the passage of Prop. 8 in California, what do you think of the fact that Sykes's partner is referred to as her "wife"?
Here are the names...Richard Cheney Sykes..and Sarah Palin Sykes (she really is a conservative under all that..well..er...skin)

It appears we have reached critical mass in America. So many kids have been raised not knowing what a traditional family-life is like that now, as adults, they jump on the bandwagon of taunting humanity, giving high fives to gay folks who do an end-around on the laws of pro-creation, and they do so without knowing any better. The decline of the world accelerates more and more everyday.

Yes, because we obviously don't have more than enough people popping out kids w/their husbands.

Why? The sperm bank would have the health records, so that wouldn't be an issue. And by default, a man who donates to a sperm bank is trying to maintain anonymity and doesn't want to be a father, just a donor. You can't go against his wishes and privacy merely because the kid wants to know his name.

A good friend of mine is gay, and he grew up in a VERY traditional family. I grew up in a traditional family as well, and I don't plan on ever getting married, or having children.

You do realize that some people may not view 'traditional' as good, right?

I'm sorry it seems so wierd to you to think that a child should know who his/her parents are.

Its just my opinion.

I grew up in what's called a 'traditional family'. For most of my growing up years, Dad worked and Mom stayed home with the six of us kids. Same with my three boys - their Dad worked and I stayed home at least until they were in school all day. But guess what, I and my boys don't believe how anyone else lives their life is any of our concern. 99.99% of the time what Jack and Jill, or Jack and Joe, or Jill and Jane choose to do in their own lives affects our life not at all.

I don't particularly care whether Jack and Joe or Jill and Jane are married. They should be able to be. When kids are involved, it becomes very different.

And what is more cultural then female and male roles? What is more cultural then dad works and mom stays home and bakes cookies? Certainly in my sons culture both parents work and grandma stays home and raises her grandkids.

My point is completely relevent as there are people out there who vigorously oppose interracial adoption for the same reasons you oppose homosexual couples adopting. The natural order of things, being unable to really provide a balanced upbringing, etc.....

Oh, and homosexuals are in fact 'natural humans' in case you didn't know. I mean, what else would they be and how else would they parent?
