Oh, that’s only since the invasion, by many counts 500,000 dead children due to the economic embargo. Some folks think the total number is in the millions, maybe as much as 25 million.

Yes, there are those who would think all of this. And they are in straightjackets, or should be.

I never said one word about special laws for gays but until people like YOU and those who think there exists no homophobia you bet those laws ought to stay on the books.

Eben, again in this thread I am forced to repeat myself because you don’t read; you were not made to use a special drinking fountain because of your sexuality, nor were you denied access to a public school, nor did you struggle for the right to vote, you were never a slave, you could purchase a home in any neighborhood you could afford, sit anywhere you wanted in a restaurant, banks didn’t offer you a higher interest rate because of your sexuality, and the list goes on and on..You can’t get married in most states, but last time I checked, you could in the state that you live in. There is no comparison between the two situations.

So the police chief was fired..was it because of homophobia or was it that he was corrupt, incompetent and should have lost his job?

So now it is the white man’s religion that is forcing black’s to turn their backs on gays? Nope!

The police chief in the town where the crime occurred has been canned. Obviously some people know there’s a clear and present danger.

That said, it’s obvious to me you clearly cannot have your version of reality screwed with.

Far be it from me to enlighten you to what goes on daily in your aggression-filled world.

I’ve recounted real experiences yet you remain intransigent and utterly detached. Reminds me of the man in the Oval Office who has the blood of easily one hundred thousand people on his hands.

The Wizard never gave him a heart. There is much to genetics yet to be revealed it occurs to me.

No need to deflect by avoiding the issue Pam.

I’ve been as honest as I can possibly be about my experience and many I know in the same situation as I.

I never said one word about special laws for gays but until people like YOU and those who think there exists no homophobia you bet those laws ought to stay on the books.

You are mistkaken in your logic about the struggle for blacks being much more difficult than gays. Just imagine how reinforced the white man’s religion imposed on American blacks has been to reinforce intolerance even among people like black Americans who have suffered similarly to their gay brothers and sisters.

You keep telling SFL and me “there’s no comparison between the two” yet you don’t illustrate the basis of your thinking. Simply saying something doesn’t make it so.

Oh. And thanks for you sympathy for what I experienced at people who (it appears now to me) think very much as you do.

Do you have a pulse?

65- Yet you seem to think there should be special laws for gays..

Where did I say homosexuals are lesser than black people? I didn’t. What I have said repeatedly is that the struggle of the black race was far greater than that of homosexuals and that there really is no comparision to the two.

You were rushed pass the others in emergency because you were the most pressing emergent, hence people don’t get numbers when they enter an emergcy room.

And no, this isn’t about religion or indoctrination or republican vs democrat.

Christ. You want to think of homosexuals as lesser. The arrogance.

It’s pointless trying to enlighten the unenlightenable.

I believe there’s an “if” in the sentence you quoted of mine, no? Yes. Thought so.
