What? That doesn't make any sense!

Comparing the rate of promiscuity with the rate of homosexual heterosexuals???What?



UHHH, "promiscuity" and "homosexuality" are two different things....



But my favorite dopey line was :

"Of course, there are some promiscuous heterosexuals too."

NO! REALLY!!!! WOW! What a revelation!!!

Eliminating all government privileges for being married, would be a better solution, to getting government out of our lives.

Lol, EXACTLY!


Remember though, we're not dealing with the brightest crayons in the box here.

Yeah, except that's not going to happen, so we have to deal with reality.

"Anal sex" has been practiced since the dawn of civilization by both homosexual AND heterosexual people.

Pottery from ancient Greece, China and Peru show couples - mostly straight - engaging in the practice.

According to the CDC, 44% of heterosexual men report having had anal sex with an opposite-sex partner. 36% of women report having had anal sex with an opposite-sex partner.


http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf


Among homosexual males, the number is said to be between 50-80% that engage in the practice.

Lesbians, of course, wouldn't have any incidence of the practice....

Ron Paul isn't totally out of this thing yet. The fat lady has not sung just yet.

I don't think that Ron can, or will abolish legal marriage. The uproar from married couples would be deafening.

What's Ron Paul going to do? He couldn't muster enough support in the legislature to EVER pass some sort of "remove all benefits of marriage".... the "government related" purposes of marriage go back centuries.
