The meaning of "heterosexual" is clearly culturally dependent. Different cultures have different degrees of sharpness of dividing lines. For example, would you consider a man who enjoys buggering women to be heterosexual?
I do accept your point about being misled though. I did find it highly annoying when I was chatting up a bint in a bar (before I got married) and then got her home and undressed to find that her firmness was more due to support bras and other "slap." Very misleading.
That's accurate, that definitions of homosexual v heterosexual are often dependent on the culture but I'm only speaking from my own experience. Pitching or catching, it's still playing baseball.
If chicks with dicks is your thing, that's fine. It's not my place to judge such things. But me, if I were to get a "girl" back to my place and slide down her panties and find a dick, there's be a serious problem.
On the other side of the pond, Bradley Manning is going to be put to death. Where are the Wikileak white knights?
One major difference is that Bradley Manning has been accused of something that is punishable by the death penalty. Assange had no requirement to be loyal to the US. He can do pretty much whatever he wants, with regard to keeping the US's secrets. PFC Manning did/does not have that luxury.
One of my friends did some time in prison back in the late 70s/early 80s. He heard a few guys try to rationalize the institutional sodomy by saying that they were pitching and not catching. He used to tell them "It doesn't matter if you're pitching or catching, you're still playing baseball."
Hetero sexual men would be disturbed by being misled into having sexual contact with another male.
Uhm... So you *do* find the lady-boy's attractive? Ugly is Ugly in my book. Be you a person of groteque shape or excessive unkept boddily hair or some hermaphididic freak.
That's what's so disturbing about ladyboys. Some of them are quite attractive. You go out for a drink and a pretty girl starts talking to you. You hit it off and have some shared interests. She laughs at your jokes. You take her home and start making out. You casually slide a hand into her panties and end up holding onto a cock and balls. Or even worse, she gives you oral and you later find out that she's biologically a male...
OK, let me backtrack: exactly how has the government "taken sides" on the gay marriage issue?
When the mayors of cities started threatening to deny licenses to a business because they disagree with that business's COO on the issue of same sex "marriage".
That's only because he doesn't understand what's going on. It's not about "one person's opinion," like he thinks, it's about the company donating millions of dollars to anti-gay and certified hate groups.
Are the recipients of these donations going around beating homosexuals to death in the street? Are they dragging them behind pickup trucks?
Arguing for legislation defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman may be becoming politically incorrect, but that doesn't mean they're hate groups.
Palin made the difference between McCain losing and a landslide.
McCain spent his whole political career trying to be liked by democrats and alienating his fellow republicans.
His prized demographic was gaga over the idea of electing president Chocolate Jesus and republicans didn't particularly like him. Palin saved him from 45 state sweep.
Romney is in a worse position than McCain was. Expect a Rubio type VP.
With all due respect to your dyslexic cousin, how much math does your uncle use? How about your other cousin[s]?
Mathematics is a necessary part of education, We've been removing the emphasis on mathematics for generations and what has that gotten us? We have millions of people who are under thousands of dollars of credit card debt, that just don't have any idea of how it happened to them. They *should* know better, but they are in positions where then just don't have the tools to understand.
If you so much as question the "scientific consensus" you are demonized and called a moron. If you find contrary evidence, you get frozen out of academia.
So, when someone isn't convinced about AGW, they're called stupid or kooks or nuts or crazy or morons. That isn't how to persuade someone to change their thinking. I'm personally on the fence about AGW and fracking. I could be convinced one side or the other is right, if only the two man camps weren't populated with so many abrasive douche bags.
I see how quick google is to kill products when then under-perform. I use iGoogle and they recently announced that they were ending it. I understand, it's a business decision but there's no fucking way I'd put the kind of time into Google+ as I've put into FB with the knowledge that at some people Google was going to pull the plug. No thank you.
Why do people seem to think that climate scientists advocate deindustrialisation?
Why do people seem to think that the proposed policy changes are being driven by scientists? There are neo-luddites who are using the science of climate scientists as justification to return us to the pre-industrial age.

There have been boycotts for over a year. I happen to think the boycotts are great. People are voting with their dollars and I support that.
The Appreciation Day was organized because of those mayors. I attended the Appreciation Day.

Chick-Fil-A isn't refusing to serve gays
Perhaps not, but I bet gays are pretty much never going to shop there ever again, so it's not really a problem for them anyway.
You lost that bet.

The post actually presents an interesting issue (via the time.com link): why do corporations feel they have to take sides on the gay marriage issue?
Why does the government?
