If you don't agree with them, follow their dogma 100%, you're an"ignorant arsehole." You hurt your own cause by alienating people like me who have no problem with homosexuality.
Reminds me of the very subject of this story, fundamentalist Christians, if you don't agree, you're an idiot going to hell.
"You don't know any 'ex-gays' either. Because there is no such thing. There are only gay people who have gone back in the closet."
That would be a surprise to those I know. I was wrong on one point. I thought you were going to say they weren't gay in the first place, just experimenting.
Either way, the fact that it is a choice doesn't fit into your pro-homosexual agenda, so it can't be an option.
Then it can be "corrected" for eventually, the genetic anomaly eliminated.
That's why a lot of gays don't subscribe to the "born that way" theory.
Heterosexuality is natural, propagation of the species and all. Other choices, including asexuality, aren't natural. But then many things we do out of choice aren't natural, so homosexuality isn't special in any regard on that front.
I'm not religious, I have no "God says its bad" angle. I don't care about homosexuality, do whatever you want as long as its consensual.
But to put a lifestyle choice on par with what blacks endured in this country is pretty sickening.
Yes, lifestyle choice. That is how gays can be "cured" by this group, they indoctrinate you into their religion and make you believe your harmless lifestyle choice is evil. So instead of being a happy homosexual, you're now a repressed Christ-zombie.
Ever seen Moonstruck? The champagne was product placement. Pepsi in Back to the Future, Product placement is a huge business with brokers and agents. It's all over and it's been there for a long time. As long as a character doesn't start touting the features of the product like Bones in her Prius, I don't really mind.
You don't need anyone to take you up on the offer, although usually a cop responds to it in a sting to make sure the offender can't claim he wasn't serious..
attack on the Supreme Court during the State of the Union Address, Obama criticized the court as follows:
"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections"
This is when Alito quietly said "not true" (according to you that constitutes spewing ignorant rhetoric).
The claim at issue here specifically is that the Supreme Court ruling will "open the floodgates" for foreign corporation spending on political commercials in our elections. Obama then asked Congress for legislation to stop that possibility. Obama's problem fact, and certainly a fact that Alito knew, was that foreign spending (either by a principal or an agent) on political commercials in the US was already illegal under the 1996 amendment to the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The Supreme Court decision at issue explicitly stated that it did not address the issue of foreign principals or their agents.
If you've replaced the screws, you probably have that pentalobular screwdriver anyway, so why not just leave them in? If Apple replaces them, you still have that screwdriver, don't you? What's the problem?
A slap on the wrist at most, probably community service and probation. What got him jail time was the felony count of "anticipatory obstruction of justice by destruction of records." Courts don't like it when you obstruct justice.
I like to shoot, but too much, especially automatic, and the propellant gasses make me want to barf. It's hard to breathe in a cloud of that stuff.
Plus I've been in a war, saw the dead and burned bodies, and smelled them. It is not pleasant. And in that war game don't forget to add the smell of diesel and body odor from your comrades. Hey, let's add the smell of the burning shit cans under the outhouses if you want to get really realistic.
Of course everybody will want to keep the pet agency that benefits them or their political leaning.
"and providing alternative, less costly solutions to the services provided."
That's just an assumption of yours. The first order of business is to determine whether those services are necessary in the first place. The state got along without most of them for most of its existence. The state is close to bankruptcy now, so any agency should have to pass a pretty high bar of absolute necessity in order to have its service even continue to exist.
It's far worse when they don't know jack, but convinced the interviewer they do.
I suffered through a team lead who was combinaton all three in his attitude and effect on morale. But in the end he totally screwed up the project due to the fact that he was completely clueless. He took us down a path that was not only completely unproductive, but took a lot of effort to fix once management got wise to him and rid us of his presence.
I'm going to create an address book group called "Crack clients" and put the police chief's and mayor's home phone numbers in there, among others I don't like.
Then at least if I ever get arrested I'll have some entertainment to show for it.
Comedy follows culture. The Onion is one of the best sources of contemporary comedy in the country. If they're spoofing it, you can be sure it is something society is thinking regardless of political leaning. It wouldn't be funny if there weren't truth to it, and The Onion is funny.
I haven't seen this widespread attitude towards a president's originality and sincerity in speech since the 80s when comedians went after Reagan for acting like a pre-recorded Disney attraction.
Now you hear TOTUS (Teleprompter Of The United States), and TOTUS even has his own blog. You never heard that from the right during Clinton, or the left during either Bush. Bush Jr. even went on a well-known rant against teleprompters once.
There's using a teleprompter like most speech makers do. And then there's completely relying on it as Obama does. This over-use fits in perfectly with Obama's campaign strategy, where any information the media got was only done in a very carefully-planned and controlled manner that fit perfectly into the strategy and official message that took months to carefully construct. You can't have the candidate/president just saying what he wants at any time, as he too may get off message. He must read everything from the teleprompter if the organization is to stay on message. In those few times when he's not on teleprompter, he has very long pauses and considers his words very carefully before answers. He's running what he's about to say through a mental message filter to try to stay on message. You will never get an honest, simple answer from Obama himself without that filter.
Junior's problem was that way too often he just spoke from the heart, no message filter. Although it produced some pretty dumb sound bites, it was kind of refreshing to hear what a president is honestly thinking.
That such a search shows mostly signs not related to race is a clear indication that people are trying to manufacture racism charges.
And the Southern Strategy was racist? Of course it was. It was the Republicans exploiting a century of Democratic Party racism. The racist Robert Byrd wasn't an aberration, he was your average old-time Democrat. Strom Thurmond was racist too, and Democrat, but he switched to the party of non-racism once his attitude changed.
Oh, yes, do remember that historically the Democrats are the party of racism and segregation, while the Republicans are the party of equality. The supposed Democrat switch to being the saviour of the blacks was the greatest political turnaround in history. But all they did was introduce more modern forms of racism.

All of those countries have/had elections. The problem is that only one party is/was allowed to run in the elections.

He can't write any more. No amount of compensation will convince Tolkein to do anymore work.
So why should the copyright still exist on his work?
1. There are many loopholes in the prohibition on ex post facto. They can still screw up your life for something you did long ago.
2. An amendment to the Constitution can change anything about the Constitution.
It's probably a felony in all states.

The only pairs that are valid Battleship coordinates are D3, D8, E4, D4, B2 and C2.
That being your only calls, the only thing you could sink is a patrol boat at D3-D4, D4-E4 or B2-C2.
Pretty much for life.

I want it to tick over for every lie he makes.
No, this isn't specific to Obama, they all do it. Obama's just most famous for it because Alito called him on one lie during his last SOTU.

Obstruction of justice is what got the Palin guy jail time.
He'd have skated with probation if he had just admitted it.

Back to the old Democrat race-baiting method, any criticism of a black by a white is by definition racist.
