Hello Bill,   
      
    TR>> McGarrity is a good one for that. So's Lewis.   
      
    TR>> They'll spend several packet cycles denouncing anyone who dares   
    TR>> to oppose marriage between two same sex sodomites, putting it under   
    TR>> the `equal rights' thing and all that.   
      
    TR>> But when they want to inundate someone with the worst, most disgusting   
    TR>> insults they can think of....they go right into homo-slams mode!   
      
    TR>> So...for all their most strenuous defense of sodomites, in the end   
    TR>> they reveal their knowledge that its a sick disgusting life-style.   
      
    TR>> Hypocrisy at it's finest.   
      
    LL>> An agenda.  Everybody has an agenda.  I have an agenda.  They   
    LL>> have an agenda.  Everybody else has an agenda, too.  The difference   
    LL>> between me and others is that my agenda is not a hidden agenda.   
    LL>> The question is, what is it those with hidden agendas are hiding,   
    LL>> or trying to hide?   
      
    BM> I have no agenda.   
      
   No agenda?   
      
   "I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than   
   to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people."   
   - Walton Goggins, actor   
      
   Are you really such a person as the actor portrayed?   
   Is it even possible for any such fictional person to be   
   an actual person?  I think not.   
      
   Man is, by his very nature, a political and a social   
   creature.  He is a participant, not a mere spectator,   
   in this world.  How he participates is up to him.   
   But participate he must, if he is to be alive at all.   
      
    BM> What Richarson failed to comprehend is I had no issue with him being gay   
   if   
    BM> he was.  I stated it was his choice and his alone.   
      
   Nature or nurture?  Does man (or woman) have an actual   
   choice as to their own sexual orientation?   Is it   
   something forced upon them by the accident of their   
   birth?  Some, like Lady Gaga, would say yes, such   
   people are "born that way".  Others believe it is a   
   free choice, including one that can be changed if   
   one so desires.   
      
    BM> His agenda is to take other's words, twist them to meet his   
    BM> narrow-mindedness so he feels superior.   
      
   What did Jesus say in regards to those who are gay   
   and lesbian?  I remember a particular story about a   
   woman who was about to be stoned by an angry mob.   
   Supposedly for having committed adultery.  After   
   saving the woman from her fate, Jesus asked her   
   who she was with.  Ahd do you know what she told   
   him?  "With no man."  Jesus did not condemn her.   
   He did tell her not to do it again.  But what   
   that "it" happened to be is not recorded in the   
   gospel (flipping the bird at an angry mob only   
   makes an angry mob more angry ...).   
      
    BM> I've coined it the "Don Quixote Syndrome". He stated above I am good for   
    BM> that. Good for what?   
      
   That depends on your agenda.  :)   
      
    BM> In that I believe each person should   
    BM> live their life as they see fit as long as it's not hurting another?   
      
   That would be an agenda.  Imposing your own view(s)   
   on that of another.  Does the USA (or any other country)   
   have the right to act as the world's policeman?  Even   
   with the best of intentions?  Why, or why not?   
      
    BM> Last I saw that was Constitutionally proected.   
      
   Better re-read that document again.  For example,   
   slavery still continues to exist, as any prisoner   
   being incarcerated can attest.   
      
    BM> If Richardson feels as if he is being so injured over the lifestyle of   
    BM> another, he can always do what he preaches, ext.   
      
   The Constitution does protect the separation of   
   church and state.  In regards to same sex marriage,   
   the state has no authority to impose its own rules   
   on that of a religious institution.  Except for   
   Mormons.  The only religion the state said that   
   men had to limit themselves to one wife.
