That's why every pro-lifer is against capital punishment and all war, right?

I could care less if people get drunk or high. That's THEIR problem. But killing what we know is a living child is murder.

The poster was railing about his "rights" being trampled on and we asked which ones. They responded with pot being illegal and not being able to buy liquor before noon.

A. The Christian "lobby" doesn't exactly care about those rules.

B. This says everything we need to know about the poster.

To me, if they are going to sell time to whomever has the money, then it should be open to everyone. Its their network, and they can do what they want, but I still think its a bit of a double standard.

Glad they did. They do not need to air mental illnesses on public tv. Enough of that crap is jammed down our throats every day.

Comparing a criminal with a child doesn't fly with me.

War is (unfortunately) a necessary evil. It's always been and will always be. There is ALWAYS going to be some group or faction that wants to kill you just because you're you. War is often a defense of that.

Weak arguments.

Because Memphis believes laws should be enacted for the good of the people and not to appease a specific moral/religious group, that makes him a degenerate looney-leftie liberal drunken pot-head? Got it.

So all life is not equal in your God's eyes? Hmm...

I'm not exactly a liberal, but I take objection to that. Homosexuality is not a mental illness. It's abnormal, it's different, it's even deviant (from the norm) but not mental illness. Gender identityh issues, transexuals ARE mental illness, and it sickens me that society enables those people by giving the hormones and surgery rather than mental help to help them stop loathing themselves so much.

But to say homosexuality is a mental illness would be like saying men attracted to obese women is a mental illness, or fetishes are mental illness. Bizare? Sure, but not mental illness. Cutting your member off because you hate yourself IS mental illness.

look what the word means. it means differs from the norm. most people are not homosexual. alibinos are deviants because they deviate from the norm of having pigments. it's not a judgement, just a fact.
