Since you are a lawyer, can you please show why this http://www.wealth4freedom.com/law/IRS-EXPOSED.htm is incorrect?
I normally do not believe stuff like this, but it is reinforced by the simple fact that every constitutional Amendment specifically authorizes congress to enforce that amendment, but the 16th amendment does not specifically authorize congress to enforce it.
eg...
section 2 here
Amendment 15 - Race no bar to vote
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
But no section 2 here...
Amendment 16 - Income taxes authorized
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
So congress was given the authorization to collect taxes, but no authorization to enforce such collections.
As such, it would seem that some legal trickery would be needed to transfer these levied taxes from the people in their "sovereign state" to the federal government which has no authority to involve itself in matters directly affecting the peoples of the individual states.
Of course it is easier to dismiss anyone as a kook when they questions the legitimacy of income taxes.
This view is, pardon the pun, rather shortsighted. When you're 70 or 80 and your sight starts giving out, do you plan on giving up using the web? Didn't think so.
As more and more web-saavy people enter old age, any business with a web page that isn't accessible is going to receive a rude awakening.
What the user does with the HTML is up to them. The job is to write valid markup. It is the users responsibility to provide themselves with the appropriate user agent to render the markup according to their needs.
Please back that up. The trend is towards less bandwidth usage, not more. Take a look at the recent redesigns by many high-profile sites - they are all reporting a major decrease in bandwidth usage.
The trend from overbloated sites utilizing html 3.2 markup. A clean valid xhtml page will increase in size tremendously when all the form labels, table headers and other addition "descriptive" elements are added. Look for yourself. Write an web form with XHTML and CSS, and then add in all the factors needed to make it pass priority 3 and you will have at least a 25% increase in file size. Teh CSS will also bloat because you are not supposed to rely on the "cascade" of CSS, you must explicitely specify background and foreground clors as well as give a textual description of presentational styles. Eliminating javascript forces uneeded round trips to the server for calculatiosn which should be performed on the client.
Based upon using table summaries, lables for form fields etc.... The WAI guidelines are very extensiveas are section 508's. The extra infornmation required to assist TTS and other alternative technologies creates extensive bloat.
All that should be a concern is using valid HTML. Nothing more should be needed to assist anyone. It should be up to the user and their user agent to render the delivered HTML appropriately. No developer should ever be required to compensate for any persons disability. The developers responsibility is to deliver valid HTML to the user.
Not to mention how absurd it is to assume that developers know about or understand the special needs of people. We are devlopers, not therapists or doctors.
The W3C should also consider the cost of bandwidth. By fully compling with their recs, each html page will increase in size from 25 to 50%. No problem when you are delivering a few thousand pages a month, but when you are delivering tens of millions of pages, that additional bloat translates into a lot of extra money on bandwidth.
Some of the Microtel systems come with an MSI 6390 board . The MSI Metis barebones ( $138 at Newegg also uses this board and I have used these boards extensively due to their tight integration, small form factor, high degree of reliability and stability.
For the price you get a good deal. $199 for a pc with OS, that is the same price as Windows XP alone. For $199 nobody should expect good 3d cars in the machine because a new 3d card designed to run modern 3d games costs $199. these machines are good for what they are designed for, inexpensive pc's to read email and browse the web.
Social Security should not be listed as a social entitlement, nor should it be included as part of the federal budget. It is supposed to be under it's own administration and not commingled alongside the rest of the budget. Then again, the US government has been raiding the SS accounts for decades.
I have used this Rip Vinyl with much success on audio tapes and it works pretty much the same with lp's. You can also use EZ-CD Creator's SoundStream to record from cassette or lp.
Cystic fibrosis is a perfect example here, a disease that frequently causes sterility (hence the gene cannot be passed on if it is reinforced) yet without screening programmes will not die out.
Frequently, not ALWAYS. The frequently part should give you a clue as to why it that gene has not beenexterminate.
Now take into account that civilization as we know it is a small part of the actual eveolution of man. The basis of evolution is that traits which are not conducive to procreation typucally eliminate themselves. Any gene that prohiited procreation would simply be unable to be perpetuated. It would not become a recessive gene, it would be eliminated very early on in evolution since the gene would never be passed in the first place.
I know I said I was done with you but I can't resist this, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. How will we become extinct? By not passing on our genes? Ah, so you think it's genetic now do you? Contradictions ahoy! If it is genetic then logically it would have to be a recessive gene (or gene group) so would be passed on unreinforced by heterosexuals anyway so we're never going to go away. Genetics 101 for the terminally rednecked:)
Okay, now I realize I am dealing with an extremely stupid person. Did your mom talk about the birds and the bees. How are you or you female lover going to create sperm in order to guarantee the continuance of the human species.
You see, me and my kind are what makes the human species possible. You and your lover cannot create a child in which to teach your sickness. if you weren't stupid, it would have been blatantly obvious that homosexuality cannot be genetic because homosexuals are unable to reproduce and pass the gene on. Failing to do such a thing guarantees that the "gay gene" quickly becomes obliterated from the gene pool. Do you understand this. Do you understand why it is impossible for a "gay gene" to exist.
Perhaps that is why you attempt to force your sickness on society, because you are unable to leave your own legacy. When society gets tired of gay people using politics to push their perversions, your kind no longer exists because you cannot reproduce.
You shoudl be careful when you preface something is as easy as "shooting fish in a barrel." it usually indicates that you either have not read what you are replying to, or you have not thought before you replied.
I don't know why I bother with people like you, you're sick in the head. You do not know the cause(s) of homosexuality, no-one does. It's not a choice, I can 100% guarantee that from experience which is more than you can say. You have no direct experience of it aside from a few weirdos (hey, guess what, there are weird straight people too!), you simply jump to a conclusion and in your smug little self righteous world that allows you to feel superior to a minority. You joined the Klan yet? You seem ideal material!
Kinda funny that I have a very satisfying heterosexual relationship, I have a beautiful child and a great job. Not the things a sicko obtains in society.
Yes, their are weird straight people. The world is full of sick people.
As for the 'no-one would know if you didn't force it down our throats' don't be so fucking pathetic. If I mention I was out on a date then it's obviously going to come up! Think of all the situations in life where relationships or social life are mentioned. A lot of my social life revolves round the gay scene so it's kinda going to crop up in conversation don't you think? Huh? Maybe?
And how is that different from dating someone at work where you have to keep your relationship a secret? Should I risk a high paying job because I am in love with someone. No, because my relationships should not be part of my career and my career is not part of my social life.
At 11, 12, 13, 14 I didn't feel the same towards girls as many of the other boys did. Do you know why? I hit puberty a little later.
You see, I know what happens at that age and when you feel a little different then everyone else. I also know that there are people who prey on those vulnerabilities to introduce you to "the reason" why you are different. My parents explained to me why and just as they said, everything grew the way it was supposed to and I became interested in girls in that way.
a legacy of a past age who's time is almost over.
Hate to break the news to you, but it is people like me who guarantee the continuance of the human species. You and your kind are unable to do this. The only one people who are going to become extinct are gays people.

The DSM is written by humans with limited knowledge of psychology and psychobiology. Hence, it's going to often prove to be wrong and require modification as discoveries are made. This isn't any different, really, than how the classical model of Newtonian mechanics was shown to be wrong, and we had to deduce newer models to explain things on a macro scale.
The DSM was never modified due to advances in science, it was modified due to political pressure.
Homosexuals didn't demonstrate any mental detriment and homosexuality was shown to be a natural deviation in sexuality, so it was removed from DSM.
A natural deviation in animals. It has also been proven that in animals such as dogs, a dog humping another dog is a show of dominance and not a display of sexuality.
As another poster mentioned, many, many species demonstrate homosexual / bisexual tendencies. In fact, some primates to which we're fairly closely related engage in homosexual relations all their lives except during mating seasons. There's also a well-documented case about a monogamously coupled pair of gay penguins at a zoo (google-search if you're interested).
Well there you go, primates have platonic relationships with the same sex until they are ready to mate and there are gay penguins so we all should gay. Monkeys throw feces at zoo visitors so I hope you don't mind if I throw shit at homosexuals since other animals do it.
I'm sure that our (yours and mine) concepts of right and wrong differ on many, many levels, judging by the nature of this post
If you are not ready to accept my beliefs against homosexuality, then how can you ask me to accept yours. The problem is that you are trying to force an issue into a society which others do not want forced into it.
As a polite hint for future posting, you don't have to tolerate homosexuality, but using the word "fag" just makes you look like an idiot, really. Throwing around derogatory terms isn't the sign of an educated mind; it's the sign of a hateful, sick, and IMO, uneducated one.
The use of the quotes shoudl ahve indicated something.
The exact biological mechanism of homosexuality has yet to be determined, and while I find the "gay gene" theory to be unlikely, it cannot be discounted completely. Let us also note that as populations increase to unhealthy levels, there is a natural tendency for normally heterosexual members to become homosexual. Natural population growth.
There is no biological mechanism for homosexuality, if there was, it would be a deviation from the same biological functions which cause heterosexuality. On a scientific level, heterosexuality is based upon the need for continuance of the species. Copulation is done for one of two reasons, to procreate or because it feels good. Homosexuals cannot procreate so the only logical answer is that it feels good. Fine, I do not have sex with my girlfriend to procreate, I do it because it feels good for both of us. As humans we supposedly have another level of sexuality which is not present in animals. It is called emotions and love and is probablyt he one thing which separates humans from animals. It has never been scientifically proven to be biological, but is commonly accepted as one of the reasons for the success of man as species. So it feels good to have sex with someone you are emotionally attatched to. There is nothing wrong with that, it is the basis of sexuality. The partner you choose is a voluntary choice and is a learned behaviour.
No one is saying that homosexuality is *good*. We're just saying this it *is*. It's here. It's not going to go away. And we can't change, believe me. I'm glad that this trend towards awareness has come, because let me tell you, growing up gay and not knowing another gay person at all was incredibly distressing. No one wants to think that they're alone like that.
Here is the reason why people like me who normally are indifferent beome vocal. Everwhere i turn, someone is trying to force the belief that homosexuality is proper upon me. As the movement has gained momentum, political clout and power, gay men are being more open about their sexuality to the point where they are making advances toward other men who do not want those advances made. Your movement has created people like me. As I pointed out, I was really pisssed when someone shoved a dick through a glory hole at me.
n the other hand, many heterosexual women seem enamored of the gay community because IMO, we know how to have fun and gay guys often take a lot of pride in their appearance (you'll hear no complaints from me), so maybe being gay *is* good:D.
It is because women are not threatened by gay men and can let their guard down in the same vein as they do with other women. The benefit is that someone potentially strong enough to protect them.
Invulnerable? I don't see that at all. Invulnerable in what way? Care to elaborate?
The weaknesses of a woman are typically the strengths of a man. The weaknesses of a man are typically the strengths of a woman. Combined, they have no weaknesses. If I have to explain this further, then you have never stopped to understand and appreciate a woman for her strengths and her feminity. If you have never appreciated a woman for this, then your claim of homosexuality is based on false information and illogical reasoning. Everything you desire in a relationship and in a mate are the strengths of a woman. It is really sad that you are so blinded by a lifestyle choice that you will never understand this.
No, look at your sentence again. There's no way anyone can get any meaning out of it, it's nonsense. Not just poor grammar (which I ignore, I never know if English is someone's first language or not) but utterly nonsensical.
Oh, "ass" got cut off when I pasted from a text editor. Hope that didn't confuse you too mucj.
Ah, a luddite with a computer, what a novelty. Copernicus demonstrated that the planets move round the sun but I assume you'd prefer to go back to the old theory that everything revolves round the Earth? After all, it was a change to the beliefs of scientists and you evidently can't deal with that concept.
Actually I have BA in Psychology and I own many computers, but let's not split hairs. If you or anyone could demonstrate that homosexuality had a scientific basis, I would listen to the proof. But there has never been proof. It is a social phenomena. It has been and always will be the political pressure which has forced legislation to accept homosexuality as an accpetable alternative lifestyle. Bear in mind that sodomy is illegal in most of the United States and in most cases is designated as "unnatural sex acts." I cannot say I particularly agree with the government interefering in peoples bedrooms, but that also goes the other way.
have no children but believe strongly that a good sense of what's right and wrong is essential to the healthy growth of anyone, child or adult. I have to ask though whether you think instilling the belief in a child that 'whites are superior to niggers spics and chinks' is 'right'? I certainly don't and I also see no difference between that and teaching them that 'shit stabbers and carpet munchers' are sick or mentally ill. By all means teach the facts but even I wouldn't promote it, as I said it's not a life choice. If someone is gay (and we usually know as a child) then dealing with it would be a hell of a lot easier without being told you're a freak.
Sexuality is a choice, race is not. Your arguement holds sway with the liberals who need your votes and contributory dollars, but it does not make it correct. You are not genetically homosexual, it was a decision one makes and it is my belief that it is not an appropriate decision for my children. It is my belief that it is not an appropriate option for my children to even consider. Your arguement about knowing it as a child is specious at best. Until puberty, a child has no sexuality. Anyone who equates a child's curiosity to sexuality is sick. Anyone who equates a child's playing with themselves as sexuality is a sicko.
Who's saying it's 'good'? We're a little different to the majority of society, that's all.
You are missing the point. Society doesn't care what your do in the bedroom, keep it private.
So are geeks, do you think geeks are mentally ill?
If they exihibit anti social behavior, then yes they are. I could point to the overwhelming oredmoninace of Aspergers syndrom in "geeks" to drive home the point if you want me to.
All I want is for people to realise it's not an illness, not sick, just different.
You cannot force people to accept what you want them to accept. Do you think I said anything which most people do not think? They think it, they just do not say anything as bluntly as I do. You made the choice of lifestyle and you have to deal with the conequnces of that lifestyle. You cannot force acceptance of something on people. Educate them. The current education is a lie, people are not being told the truth about homosexuality. So what happens is that a lie is told to people and they are coerced into accpting that lie.
If someone is gay they should be able to be gay without suffering prejudice because of it. It really is that simple.
Is it prejudice to force homosexual men or women to have a separate shower in the gym? What about in the bathrooms? Sadly many men have had overt unwanted sexual advances made upon them by other men. But we cannot fight back because we shouldn't be prejudiced. Do you know the anger that occurs when you use a public bathroom and suddenly a dick pops through a hole in the stall wall and someone murmers something to you. Normally I would beat the shit out of someone for doing that, but because now it is prejudice, I have to fear being accused and prosecuted for a "hate crime."
I spent the larger portion of my life not understanding what a women meant when she said she felt a man was "undressing her with his eyes." I never understood why it made them feel uncomfortable, until I had to provide IT services to gay people. One of them was eyeballing me in a way which would make feel a little uncomfortable if an unattractive woman did it, I had to leave and told the supervisor I did not appreciate a man staring at my ass and checking my crotch. I never approved of the homosexual lifestyle, but never voiced my opinion against it because it did not matter to me. unfortuantely your little drive for an unprejudiced world makes many gay men think they can try and stick their dick anywhere without fear of consequnces.
Until you started with the homophobic shit I have never mentioned either my gender or sexuality on slashdot. Why? Because it has bugger all to do with anyone else!
Nothing would have been said if the agenda was not forced onto slashdot.
But when someone comes out with the sort of redneck homophobic remarks you did I feel it's time to jump in and make a stand.
Hate to break the news to you, but it is not an irrational fear of homos, it is a disgust at the lifestyle. There is no phobia.
This is the point, keep your homophobia to yourself and
Keep your homosexual agenda to the appropriate places and I will not voice my opinion of the disgusting lifestyle.
I won't jump all over your ass.
The attempts by fags to jump all over my ass is why I am so vocal against them coming out of the closet.
Tell you gay friends to keep their sickness to themselves and there is no problem.
The 'homosexual agenda' is nothing more or less than a demand (and yes it is a demand) that we be treated with the same respect you demand in daily life.
Kinda funny that the only way someone will know you are gay in your daily life is to tell them. For soem strange reason I do not feel an overwhelming urge to tell everyone I meet that I am heterosexual. Why do you?
Get that through your head and stop behaving like a terrified child and you'll find things a lot clearer.
Get it through you head that many people consider homosexuality a sickness and if you want people to not treat you are a sick person, then keep your private affairs private. You can try to justify it as homophobia, but there is no fear. Stop lying to yourself.
Got nothing intelligent to say so you might as well check grammar and spelling.
Funny, the DSMIV doesn't define it as a disease, nor does the ICM10. Perhaps you have some medical source unknown to the rest of the world, the little green pixies perhaps? What would you do if one of your children is gay? 'Re-educate' them? Ostracize them? Think less of them? It's people like you that make coming out to your family so hard, you do realise people kill themselves over things like this don't you? It could be your own kids if you're not careful. And no, that wasn't a wish for it to happen,just bear in mind it could turn out that way.
Funny that the DSM-III and earlier declared homosexuality a mental illnes. Funny how politics decide what is a mental illness and what isn't.
Homosexuality is a learned behavior, there is no "fag gene." Unlike you, I go to great lengths to teach my children what is right and wrong. You seem to forget that I have a RIGHT to protect my child from interacting with people whom I deem inapprpriate role models. You and your fellow homosexuals have NO RIGHT telling my children that homosexuality is good. Unfortunately the homosexual community seems to make it a requirement to include their agenda wherever they see fit.
Actually, it's not in line with GLBT rights groups activist guidelines, we're supposed to make friends not enemies. In your case I decided to make an exception though:)
Actually it is my belief that people should leave their sexuality at home and not attempt to force it on others. My policy towards it is quite simple. Don't tell me what you do and I won't express my disgust over it.
I can testify that the former isn't in any way disgusting, I bow to your obvious expertise in the latter.
So you admit to having a mental illness. Oh wait, I already PREDICTED your response about necrophillia and beastiality.
I kinda pity you. You will never know the joys that a member of the opposite sex can bring to a relationship. You will never experience the complimentary masculine and feminine aspect of a heterosexual relationship. Both men and women have strengths and weaknesses, but together they are invulnerable. That is why men and women belong together.
I hope you don't include yourself in the category 'men', you're quite clearly the sort of pathetic specimen who should be kept in a sealed jar so people can come look and say 'Oooh, THAT'S what cockroaches evolved from!'
Looks like somebodies got their panties all twisted up. Does the fact that gay men fuck each other in the. Nothign like an anti gay comment to bring out the fags and carpet muchers.
Why do you care if two men want to suck one another off?
I do not give a fuck what two men do in the privacy of their home. I do care when they flaunt it and my children may potentially be exposed to it. I do not want my children to think that homosexuality is normal. I want my children to know that homosexuality is a mental illness.
Or does the fact that you start to feel a little twitching 'downstairs' disgust you? Are you afraid of your feelings? Is what you really want a good hard cock to suck? Would you like to join the orchestra on the pink oboe? I bet you would really, you're just too scared to face the truth!
The uber defense of homosexuality, claim everyone has an urge to do it. Sorry to bust your clit, but homosexuality is disgusting just as necrofillia and beastiality. But I suppose you will attempt to accuse me of getting aroused at the sight of dead people.
Bottom line is that if more people stated exactly what homosexuality is, the gay rights movement would stop dead in it's tracks and peoples choice of sexuality would stay in the bedroom where it belongs.
is there any particular reason why you woudl suggest shooring soemone because they pointed out that most men do not want to read about faggots fucking.
Maybe that in a forum mostly used by men, we have a total and absolute disgust of other men who suck another man's dick or to fuck another man in the ass.
I have been using MSI motherboards extensively and exclusively for many years and never have had problems. Out of close to 100 boards, I have only had one MSI 1 K7 board go bad and MSI RMA'd it no problems (with only 1 week turnaround).
Intel boards are not more expensive. An MSI board running an 845 chipset will cost more than an intel board running the same chipset with the same features. The cheap ECS type boards are not using Intel chipsets and as a result they do not have to pay the intel tax.
Low end Athlon chipset based (via KT333) boards from MSI offer more dollar for dollar than Intel chipset(845) based boards from either MSI or Intel and will typically perform better for most everyday tasks. I think part of it is that the VIA 4 in 1 drivers are better optimized for the via chipsets than the intel inf drivers are for intel chipsets.
Any federal database of any kind is an invasion of privacy. What guarantees are there that the federal DNC list will only be used by the list maintainers specifically for stopping telemarketers? There is none and as we all know, the US Gubment wants to link all these databases together.
Telemarketers, big deal. Hang up the phone. A lot worse things can happen than a telemarketer calling you. For example, no telemarketers could call which would indicate you are a pathetic loser with no money to spend.
Well that is typical of most Americans, sell your soul for a little extra convenience.
I also wonder how a federal DNC list would impact intrastate calls since the US Gubment has no authority or control over intrastate business. America is after all, "The United States of America" and not the "Federal Country." What about enforcement. Breaking a Federal law requires Federal police and federal courts to enforce the infraction.

A lot of my social life revolves round the gay scene so it's kinda going to crop up in conversation don't you think? Huh? Maybe?
And how is that different from dating someone at work where you have to keep your relationship a secret? Should I risk a high paying job because I am in love with someone. No, because my relationships should not be part of my career and my career is not part of my social life.
At 11, 12, 13, 14 I didn't feel the same towards girls as many of the other boys did. Do you know why? I hit puberty a little later.
You see, I know what happens at that age and when you feel a little different then everyone else. I also know that there are people who prey on those vulnerabilities to introduce you to "the reason" why you are different. My parents explained to me why and just as they said, everything grew the way it was supposed to and I became interested in girls in that way.
a legacy of a past age who's time is almost over.
Hate to break the news to you, but it is people like me who guarantee the continuance of the human species. You and your kind are unable to do this. The only one people who are going to become extinct are gays people.

The DSM was never modified due to advances in science, it was modified due to political pressure.
Homosexuals didn't demonstrate any mental detriment and homosexuality was shown to be a natural deviation in sexuality, so it was removed from DSM.
A natural deviation in animals. It has also been proven that in animals such as dogs, a dog humping another dog is a show of dominance and not a display of sexuality.
As another poster mentioned, many, many species demonstrate homosexual / bisexual tendencies. In fact, some primates to which we're fairly closely related engage in homosexual relations all their lives except during mating seasons. There's also a well-documented case about a monogamously coupled pair of gay penguins at a zoo (google-search if you're interested).
Well there you go, primates have platonic relationships with the same sex until they are ready to mate and there are gay penguins so we all should gay. Monkeys throw feces at zoo visitors so I hope you don't mind if I throw shit at homosexuals since other animals do it.
I'm sure that our (yours and mine) concepts of right and wrong differ on many, many levels, judging by the nature of this post
If you are not ready to accept my beliefs against homosexuality, then how can you ask me to accept yours. The problem is that you are trying to force an issue into a society which others do not want forced into it.
As a polite hint for future posting, you don't have to tolerate homosexuality, but using the word "fag" just makes you look like an idiot, really. Throwing around derogatory terms isn't the sign of an educated mind; it's the sign of a hateful, sick, and IMO, uneducated one.
The use of the quotes shoudl ahve indicated something.
The exact biological mechanism of homosexuality has yet to be determined, and while I find the "gay gene" theory to be unlikely, it cannot be discounted completely. Let us also note that as populations increase to unhealthy levels, there is a natural tendency for normally heterosexual members to become homosexual. Natural population growth.
There is no biological mechanism for homosexuality, if there was, it would be a deviation from the same biological functions which cause heterosexuality. On a scientific level, heterosexuality is based upon the need for continuance of the species. Copulation is done for one of two reasons, to procreate or because it feels good. Homosexuals cannot procreate so the only logical answer is that it feels good. Fine, I do not have sex with my girlfriend to procreate, I do it because it feels good for both of us. As humans we supposedly have another level of sexuality which is not present in animals. It is called emotions and love and is probablyt he one thing which separates humans from animals. It has never been scientifically proven to be biological, but is commonly accepted as one of the reasons for the success of man as species. So it feels good to have sex with someone you are emotionally attatched to. There is nothing wrong with that, it is the basis of sexuality. The partner you choose is a voluntary choice and is a learned behaviour.
No one is saying that homosexuality is *good*. We're just saying this it *is*. It's here. It's not going to go away. And we can't change, believe me. I'm glad that this trend towards awareness has come, because let me tell you, growing up gay and not knowing another gay person at all was incredibly distressing. No one wants to think that they're alone like that.
Here is the reason why people like me who normally are indifferent beome vocal. Everwhere i turn, someone is trying to force the belief that homosexuality is proper upon me. As the movement has gained momentum, political clout and power, gay men are being more open about their sexuality to the point where they are making advances toward other men who do not want those advances made. Your movement has created people like me. As I pointed out, I was really pisssed when someone shoved a dick through a glory hole at me.
n the other hand, many heterosexual women seem enamored of the gay community because IMO, we know how to have fun and gay guys often take a lot of pride in their appearance (you'll hear no complaints from me), so maybe being gay *is* good :D.
It is because women are not threatened by gay men and can let their guard down in the same vein as they do with other women. The benefit is that someone potentially strong enough to protect them.
Invulnerable? I don't see that at all. Invulnerable in what way? Care to elaborate?
The weaknesses of a woman are typically the strengths of a man. The weaknesses of a man are typically the strengths of a woman. Combined, they have no weaknesses. If I have to explain this further, then you have never stopped to understand and appreciate a woman for her strengths and her feminity. If you have never appreciated a woman for this, then your claim of homosexuality is based on false information and illogical reasoning. Everything you desire in a relationship and in a mate are the strengths of a woman. It is really sad that you are so blinded by a lifestyle choice that you will never understand this.
Oh, "ass" got cut off when I pasted from a text editor. Hope that didn't confuse you too mucj.
Ah, a luddite with a computer, what a novelty. Copernicus demonstrated that the planets move round the sun but I assume you'd prefer to go back to the old theory that everything revolves round the Earth? After all, it was a change to the beliefs of scientists and you evidently can't deal with that concept.
Actually I have BA in Psychology and I own many computers, but let's not split hairs. If you or anyone could demonstrate that homosexuality had a scientific basis, I would listen to the proof. But there has never been proof. It is a social phenomena. It has been and always will be the political pressure which has forced legislation to accept homosexuality as an accpetable alternative lifestyle. Bear in mind that sodomy is illegal in most of the United States and in most cases is designated as "unnatural sex acts." I cannot say I particularly agree with the government interefering in peoples bedrooms, but that also goes the other way.
have no children but believe strongly that a good sense of what's right and wrong is essential to the healthy growth of anyone, child or adult. I have to ask though whether you think instilling the belief in a child that 'whites are superior to niggers spics and chinks' is 'right'? I certainly don't and I also see no difference between that and teaching them that 'shit stabbers and carpet munchers' are sick or mentally ill. By all means teach the facts but even I wouldn't promote it, as I said it's not a life choice. If someone is gay (and we usually know as a child) then dealing with it would be a hell of a lot easier without being told you're a freak.
Sexuality is a choice, race is not. Your arguement holds sway with the liberals who need your votes and contributory dollars, but it does not make it correct. You are not genetically homosexual, it was a decision one makes and it is my belief that it is not an appropriate decision for my children. It is my belief that it is not an appropriate option for my children to even consider. Your arguement about knowing it as a child is specious at best. Until puberty, a child has no sexuality. Anyone who equates a child's curiosity to sexuality is sick. Anyone who equates a child's playing with themselves as sexuality is a sicko.
Who's saying it's 'good'? We're a little different to the majority of society, that's all.
You are missing the point. Society doesn't care what your do in the bedroom, keep it private.
So are geeks, do you think geeks are mentally ill?
If they exihibit anti social behavior, then yes they are. I could point to the overwhelming oredmoninace of Aspergers syndrom in "geeks" to drive home the point if you want me to.
All I want is for people to realise it's not an illness, not sick, just different.
You cannot force people to accept what you want them to accept. Do you think I said anything which most people do not think? They think it, they just do not say anything as bluntly as I do. You made the choice of lifestyle and you have to deal with the conequnces of that lifestyle. You cannot force acceptance of something on people. Educate them. The current education is a lie, people are not being told the truth about homosexuality. So what happens is that a lie is told to people and they are coerced into accpting that lie.
If someone is gay they should be able to be gay without suffering prejudice because of it. It really is that simple.
Is it prejudice to force homosexual men or women to have a separate shower in the gym? What about in the bathrooms? Sadly many men have had overt unwanted sexual advances made upon them by other men. But we cannot fight back because we shouldn't be prejudiced. Do you know the anger that occurs when you use a public bathroom and suddenly a dick pops through a hole in the stall wall and someone murmers something to you. Normally I would beat the shit out of someone for doing that, but because now it is prejudice, I have to fear being accused and prosecuted for a "hate crime."
I spent the larger portion of my life not understanding what a women meant when she said she felt a man was "undressing her with his eyes." I never understood why it made them feel uncomfortable, until I had to provide IT services to gay people. One of them was eyeballing me in a way which would make feel a little uncomfortable if an unattractive woman did it, I had to leave and told the supervisor I did not appreciate a man staring at my ass and checking my crotch. I never approved of the homosexual lifestyle, but never voiced my opinion against it because it did not matter to me. unfortuantely your little drive for an unprejudiced world makes many gay men think they can try and stick their dick anywhere without fear of consequnces.
Until you started with the homophobic shit I have never mentioned either my gender or sexuality on slashdot. Why? Because it has bugger all to do with anyone else!
Nothing would have been said if the agenda was not forced onto slashdot.
But when someone comes out with the sort of redneck homophobic remarks you did I feel it's time to jump in and make a stand.
Hate to break the news to you, but it is not an irrational fear of homos, it is a disgust at the lifestyle. There is no phobia.
This is the point, keep your homophobia to yourself and
Keep your homosexual agenda to the appropriate places and I will not voice my opinion of the disgusting lifestyle.
I won't jump all over your ass.
The attempts by fags to jump all over my ass is why I am so vocal against them coming out of the closet.
Tell you gay friends to keep their sickness to themselves and there is no problem.
The 'homosexual agenda' is nothing more or less than a demand (and yes it is a demand) that we be treated with the same respect you demand in daily life.
Kinda funny that the only way someone will know you are gay in your daily life is to tell them. For soem strange reason I do not feel an overwhelming urge to tell everyone I meet that I am heterosexual. Why do you?
Get that through your head and stop behaving like a terrified child and you'll find things a lot clearer.
Get it through you head that many people consider homosexuality a sickness and if you want people to not treat you are a sick person, then keep your private affairs private. You can try to justify it as homophobia, but there is no fear. Stop lying to yourself.
Got nothing intelligent to say so you might as well check grammar and spelling.
Funny, the DSMIV doesn't define it as a disease, nor does the ICM10. Perhaps you have some medical source unknown to the rest of the world, the little green pixies perhaps? What would you do if one of your children is gay? 'Re-educate' them? Ostracize them? Think less of them? It's people like you that make coming out to your family so hard, you do realise people kill themselves over things like this don't you? It could be your own kids if you're not careful. And no, that wasn't a wish for it to happen,just bear in mind it could turn out that way.
Funny that the DSM-III and earlier declared homosexuality a mental illnes. Funny how politics decide what is a mental illness and what isn't.
Homosexuality is a learned behavior, there is no "fag gene." Unlike you, I go to great lengths to teach my children what is right and wrong. You seem to forget that I have a RIGHT to protect my child from interacting with people whom I deem inapprpriate role models. You and your fellow homosexuals have NO RIGHT telling my children that homosexuality is good. Unfortunately the homosexual community seems to make it a requirement to include their agenda wherever they see fit.
Actually, it's not in line with GLBT rights groups activist guidelines, we're supposed to make friends not enemies. In your case I decided to make an exception though :)
Actually it is my belief that people should leave their sexuality at home and not attempt to force it on others. My policy towards it is quite simple. Don't tell me what you do and I won't express my disgust over it. I can testify that the former isn't in any way disgusting, I bow to your obvious expertise in the latter.
So you admit to having a mental illness. Oh wait, I already PREDICTED your response about necrophillia and beastiality.
I kinda pity you. You will never know the joys that a member of the opposite sex can bring to a relationship. You will never experience the complimentary masculine and feminine aspect of a heterosexual relationship. Both men and women have strengths and weaknesses, but together they are invulnerable. That is why men and women belong together.
Looks like somebodies got their panties all twisted up. Does the fact that gay men fuck each other in the. Nothign like an anti gay comment to bring out the fags and carpet muchers.
Why do you care if two men want to suck one another off?
I do not give a fuck what two men do in the privacy of their home. I do care when they flaunt it and my children may potentially be exposed to it. I do not want my children to think that homosexuality is normal. I want my children to know that homosexuality is a mental illness.
Or does the fact that you start to feel a little twitching 'downstairs' disgust you? Are you afraid of your feelings? Is what you really want a good hard cock to suck? Would you like to join the orchestra on the pink oboe? I bet you would really, you're just too scared to face the truth!
The uber defense of homosexuality, claim everyone has an urge to do it. Sorry to bust your clit, but homosexuality is disgusting just as necrofillia and beastiality. But I suppose you will attempt to accuse me of getting aroused at the sight of dead people.
Bottom line is that if more people stated exactly what homosexuality is, the gay rights movement would stop dead in it's tracks and peoples choice of sexuality would stay in the bedroom where it belongs.
is there any particular reason why you woudl suggest shooring soemone because they pointed out that most men do not want to read about faggots fucking.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Homosexuals engage in homosexual sex.
Amazing how people think it is okay to be homosexual, but the mention of what homosexuals actually do offends people.
Maybe that in a forum mostly used by men, we have a total and absolute disgust of other men who suck another man's dick or to fuck another man in the ass.
Intel boards are not more expensive. An MSI board running an 845 chipset will cost more than an intel board running the same chipset with the same features. The cheap ECS type boards are not using Intel chipsets and as a result they do not have to pay the intel tax.
Low end Athlon chipset based (via KT333) boards from MSI offer more dollar for dollar than Intel chipset(845) based boards from either MSI or Intel and will typically perform better for most everyday tasks. I think part of it is that the VIA 4 in 1 drivers are better optimized for the via chipsets than the intel inf drivers are for intel chipsets.
Telemarketers, big deal. Hang up the phone. A lot worse things can happen than a telemarketer calling you. For example, no telemarketers could call which would indicate you are a pathetic loser with no money to spend.
Well that is typical of most Americans, sell your soul for a little extra convenience.
I also wonder how a federal DNC list would impact intrastate calls since the US Gubment has no authority or control over intrastate business. America is after all, "The United States of America" and not the "Federal Country." What about enforcement. Breaking a Federal law requires Federal police and federal courts to enforce the infraction.
