That's the thing... I never made a choice to be heterosexual. I just always was. There's no "choice" that I could make that would let me be turned on by other guys, no more than I could make a choice to enjoy eating broccoli. I could choose to eat broccoli, but I could never enjoy the taste. It's gross to me.

I understand the thinking, but I've known too many homosexuals that have told me differently. And considering how disgusting the idea of homosexual sex is to me, "choosing" to be homosexual would be impossible for me. Could you make that choice? There have also been too many kids that I've known when they were very young, and I could already tell, and then sure enough, 10-15 years later, they turn out to be gay. Our sexuality is the strongest urge we have, and I can't imagine any straight person making a CHOICE to be ostracized by society, shunned by religion, and in general be thought of as a lesser person for the reason of... just because?

the article in itself really isn't bad, as that IS the attitude that Christians should take towards homosexuals. but Christians must remember that every single Christian is living a lifestyle of some sort of biblical sin, and Christians also need to remember that homosexuality is not a choice, as some would like to pretend. if it was, all of us would be able to remember a time in our own lives when we decided to be heterosexual.

how old were you when you decided to be heterosexual?

Your personal freedoms can't violate others' personal freedoms. I could care less if you're dumb enough to not wear a seatbelt, but the only person you're affecting is you (and your family if you die). But the other acts on your list affect others as well as yourself, which is wrong. But marijuana falls into the same group as the seatbelt, as long as it's used responsibly (same as drinking).

Maybe, maybe not. They might very well have kept him from spending 10 years in federal prison as well. I've seen enough entitled behavior from him to not find it at all beyond the realm of possibilities that he raped her. You could definitely be right as well, but I wouldn't want to put money on it one way or the other.

it'll never happen.

I personally don't have an issue with this memorial, but I feel like I remember you attempting to use the constitution to argue some religious practices that have been ruled unconstitutional over and over again by higher courts. maybe I'm confusing you with someone else.

You've tried to use that argument before when talking about unconstitutional practices performed at schools if I'm not mistaken?

So high school kids holding up "White Power" at a basketball game is cool, but this is not? You were big on the constitutional rights of those high schoolers, so I assume you're also squarely in the corner of these atheists as well?

This game is living up to the hype.

I felt that way about her after reading the breitbart piece you provided.

Both parties are full of idiots and megalomaniacs, leading them to believe that not only is their party's way the best way, it's the only way. The news media doesn't help either. Anybody who is caught working with the other side to try and get something accomplished is destroyed by moronic propaganda machines that mislead, misrepresent, or downright lie to push their agenda, but who have enough pull to ruin candidates if they so choose to.

I've read enough stories about her to know it. You know, the same way you guys know that all Islamists are bad? the vast majority of conservatives I know are not nuts.

the chick in charge is as nutty as the militant muslims she hates so much.

My dad lives there. might be a good day to take an out of town vacation.

Who will be next?

I hate to see it.  Regardless of what purists think, he was the best and most dominant ever when at the top of his game. 

If this isn't being misrepresented, I have a problem with it. The Daily Caller used The Washington Times as its source, so that is yet to be determined.

They've won 3 straight against the bottom of the big 12, but they're doing what they have to do. They're finally getting healthy.

A worthwhile and noble cause. Hopefully it helps.

That's funny stuff. It seems like there's a disproportionate amount of deniers on this board, for some reason.

His wife states he's crazy, but equal-opportunity crazy.  He railed against religion in the past, but mostly Christianity.  He was also against discrimination.  It doesn't sound like this is a religious shooting, as the media would want us to believe.

if he's deranged, a parking spot is as good a reason as a religion.  you know I defend the Muslim faith on here all the time, but I don't agree with the media jumping on their faith to immediately make it a religious discrimination issue when all of the evidence to this point leads to something else.

Is the wow that they were murdered over a parking space?  Or is it because the victims were muslim, which had nothing to do with anything?  Or is it because the media latched on to the muslim thing DESPITE it not being a factor in this?
