    And saying its fine leads to more homosexuality. That is not a good thing. Unless your looking to decrease the surplus population.

    then you shouldn't have any problems providing an example. By the way, if you are referring to the quote from his biography, that was in reference to a 24 year old. So again, please provide your evidence he ever had sex with a prepubescent child, as you claimed.
    well, jack McKinley is but one example.
    .
    well no, it isn't, as I've shown you.

    How would I know? He simply said there wasn't a short answer to her question, to which she cursed and stormed off.
    There is no short answer to your question and you seem to be imputing several positions to me that I may or may not hold. If you are now playing the part of the Lesbian in the exchange under discussion, I think this is the part where you curse and storm off.

    saying green eyes is fine doesn't magically make more people born with green eyes. orientation is no different.

    Well, it was your point, right? Where this lady prayed, chanted, sacrificed chickens to the magic Jew or whatever she did and then was a lesbian no more, right?

    Attraction is not a function of cultural norms. Nice job at trying to avoid my point.

    Also never heard of artificial insemination?

    The 16 year old? Are you sure you want to continue this? I dont think you want the forum to know what you really think about pedophilia.

    Does a woman wearing a shirt identifying herself as a member of the NAACP and thereby accessorizing about her racial identity, somehow speak in any way to the subject of whether or not she came out of a womb black?

    I dont know, are NAACP members routinely making sure we all know who they are...or is that just the usual, noisy Gays?


    back to the story, was her question to Carson in any way important? Who cares what his opinion is? Nah...she's an activist. Probably waving Rainbow flags, bumper stickers and taking any opportunity to sport the colors and make sure we all know who she is.

    Coincidental shirt choice?

    Nope, advertising.

    Your post seems to be nothing more than a puddle of babbling nonsense. Clever I'm sure in its own special way. Have a fabulous day! When you come up with something coherent that can be rationally discussed let me know! It would be good to have a productive chat.

    Happy New Year!

    Yes she is advertising her identity as a member of that organization, and most probably a lesbian or bisexual with some strong political and cultural opinions. Now how often and under what circumstances, she chooses to the above, is up to supposition. We don't know how often or under what circumstances a woman who is black and politically active, wears a shirt or how many bumper stickers or black power emblems are on her car or her walls either. Same can be said of some NRA members who are especially involved in grassroots work.

    Well, the lesbian cured you cited was cured with the magical healing powers of Jesus, correct? It was your citation, correct? That homosexuality is not an inherent trait, but one that can be altered through ancient Jewish mysticism, whihc seems to not work for anything else.

    Good thing I didn't try to bring it up as a parrallel. :wink:


    We do know however that even though the "battle" for marriage Equality is over, and opinions don't really matter....that people like her are still turning up at events like this and making alot of noise for the Gay crusade.

    Isnt it over already? Why do we have to keep hearing about them?

    Because they dont want to stop bringing their bedrooms into the public. It's part of what turns normal people off about them.

    You clearly didn't read the link or hell, even the pull quote. And you keep getting upset that people sometimes think your posts don't track the conversation. I'm not sure how I can help you with that. But no. That wasn't her point at all, it was something else entirely.

    Carson dodged the question because he got caught with his britches down after having to apologize in November for saying being gay was a choice. When asked again about it, he could only play the idiot card. For those running for president who are unable to back up their statements with an explanation, can certainly be considered breaking news.

    When straight people wear wedding rings, take pictures of their proms, and brag about their babies learning to walk, are they 'bringing their bedrooms into the public'? I get so tired of straights shoving their sexuality in my face.

    When is someone going to provide scientific proof that being gay is genetic, and not a choice? Libs love screaming about it not being a choice, so surely some proof of this has to exist?

    Sorry, I am not really following that.

    Did you not post that Jesus cured this lady of her lesbian life?

    LOL....not even close.

    Wedding rings if nothing else...certainly arent Heterosexual exclusives anymore. Nor are proms, and children learning to walk. Sorry, you cant use yesterdays gripes as if they're still true today.


    And yes, when homosexuals pop up at events, and start asking what someone thinks about their situation...they are bringing their bedrooms and choices into public.


    Bunch of noisy, unhappy activists. Time for them to go away and simply enjoy the Marriage they fought for. Homosexuality will never be looked on as being the same thing as Hetersexuality, so if they think theyc an keep pushing for that they are delusional.

    Politically active people get to enjoy their marriages, and continue to advocate for their causes. As much as I want NRA activists, who have guns in their homes, to shut up, be happy and go away, those unhappy and noisy folks keeping advocating and showing up at events.

    And what causes are the gays advocating for now? That everyone on the planet must think and feel exactly as they do about homosexuality? That anyone that does not support it be destroyed? Can you post some links to stories about NRA activists harassing a baker that refuses to put a picture of a gun on a cake?

    Sorry, you're 3% of the population. You don't get to dictate to the other 97%.

    To be fair someone did just walk into an airport with a hundred round magazine and a rifle just because he wanted to practice his second amendment rights, and he did complain that he felt harassed when questioned about having said gun. I mean, what really was that man's point in doing so, and does he need any point other than "because he feels like it?". He wasn't breaking the law unlike the bakery.

    Note that I am with you on the Bakery incident and think it shouldn't have gone as far as it did nor do i agree with the fines.

    But when the peoples "cause" and goals have been achieved...dont they simply become a nuisance at that point?

    Whats the cause here? To tell Carson to reframe his opinion?
