    Youths will be youths. The 'love' between 2 is prone to go through changes. The Holy Bible's commandment pertaining to sexual abominations, or those acts which will not stop on its own; i.e.; abominable snow ball), is more directed to Law abiders than to Law revolters.

    Many cringe at the thought that saying male to male intercourse is an abomination to GOD. They say it is too critical and too judgemental. But dont forget that lying lips, lie speakers, are also in the same category; abomination. And to speak lies has nothing to do with 2 persons engaging in sexual intercourse. Less than 10 percent identify as LGBT, or practitioners. But I would assume that over 55 percent, or so, can identify as being a lie speaker.

    Which has the greater numbers?

    So a person can't take too harshly if the U.S. is not that clean and Christian Nation it once was, any longer. But life will continue. Here in The U.S and every else where.

    The other Countries need concern to their 'abomination' numbers in their Countries.. Not to others' Countries'.

    "Five of the six New England states rank among the bottom 10 states for church attendance," Gallup said. "Of these, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts have the lowest average attendance rates in the nation, with Connecticut not far behind. All other states in the bottom 10 are in the West, including the nation's three states that are as far as one can go in the northwest corner of the country -- Alaska, Washington and Oregon."

    4 of the original 13 colonial states dropped from very religious to among the least.

    The 13 original states were the back bone to the 2nd Continental Congress. Among the Senators of that time, the majority came from parents who were either Ministers or high Church attendees.

    I heard of the first U.S. citizen to U.S. citizen beheading in Lawrence Massachussets with the story of the high school student that beheaded one of his classmates.

    In the end the thirteen colonies were: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island

    Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey were formed by mergers of previous colonies.

    Lawrence High School is located in Lawrence, Massachusetts, United States.

    In 2010, more than one out of every four Lawrence kids dropped out of high school and only 35 percent of 10th graders were “proficient” in math, by MCAS results.

    In 2007, a new Lawrence High School campus opened in south Lawrence.[2] The original building houses an alternative high school program, and a public middle school. The new Lawrence High School Campus is organized into academies by grade level, with a 9th Grade Academy, a 10th Grade Academy, and an Upper School Academy which serves 11th graders and 12 graders. The new Lawrence High School Campus also houses the Abbott Lawrence Academy, which serves the highest-performing students and the LIFE program, which serves students who are differently-abled. The new Lawrence High School Campus is one of the largest in the state, with a Field House that can seat 3,400 individuals and a Performing Arts Center that seats an extra 1,200 individuals


    The body of 16-year-old Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino was found near the Merrimack River in Lawrence on Thursday by a woman walking her dog. Police recovered his head nearby. His forearms had also been cut off, but it was unclear if they were recovered.

    Borges told police that he and Viloria-Paulino had gone to the river on Nov. 18 to smoke pot and later parted ways.

    Europeans first settled the Haverhill area in 1640, colonists from Newbury following the Merrimack River in from the coast.[7] The area that would become Lawrence was then part of Methuen and Andover. The first settlement came in 1655 with the establishment of a blockhouse in Shawsheen Fields, now South Lawrence.

    Imagine ANY community going from established to having members in it decapitating others.


    The Year 1776 was only 242 years ago.

    Religion has always played an important role in Georgia history, and continues to be a significant aspect of many Georgians’ lives. Two religious leaders who spent time in early colonial Georgia shaped religious history, including John Wesley, who founded the Methodist movement after serving in Georgia, and George Whitefield, the Anglican preacher who was one of the leaders of the First Great Awakening.

    Not all of Georgia’s religious settlers were Christian or English-speaking. Jewish settlers first arrived in Georgia in 1733. Despite some question on whether they should be allowed (only Catholics were legally banned), James Oglethorpe allowed the Jewish immigrants to land and eventually settle in Georgia, where they established the oldest Jewish congregation in the South. A group of German-speaking Salzburgers, fleeing persecution in Europe, settled the town of Ebenezer the year after the founding of Savannah.

    I beg to differ regarding this statement, which is more a personal observation than factual.

    You've never lived in Europe evidently. Because if you did and had a business here, you'd think that how business is conducted in the US is ten, a hundred, a thousand times less constrained than in Europe ...

    Sorry. The less than 10 percent was for US estimates.


    PRINCETON, N.J. -- The American public estimates on average that 23% of Americans are gay or lesbian, little changed from Americans' 25% estimate in 2011, and only slightly higher than separate 2002 estimates of the gay and lesbian population. These estimates are many times higher than the 3.8% of the adult population who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender in Gallup Daily tracking in the first four months of this year.

    http://news.gallup.com/poll/183383/americans-greatly-overestimate-percent-gay-lesbian.aspx


    About 10 million Americans — or 4.6 percent of the U.S. population — identified as LGBT in 2016.

    What most Americans know and feel about sex is still a bit backwards. Compared to Europe, at least.

    I know a great many Americans who live in Europe, and one of the reasons is that sexual-attitudes in general are more open and relaxed. There is no guilt whatsoever attached to sex, which is why Yanks with smartphone-shots get their fill of topless nubile young women at beaches in the south of France.

    Children-and-sex however is quite another matter. Anyone practicing that dark-art is walking on a very high and very thin rope in Europe ...

    Identified is indeed correct as untold numbers have not identified as LG for obvious reasons.
    Your average High School student is very unlikely to identify as LG for obvious reasons.
