It's probably because you're so damn hard to spot, did you know that there are no differneces between a gay man and a heterosexual man?

But the one which REALLY astounds me is that a party which has so many closeted homosexuals--Hello, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Richard Curtis, Bob Allen, Ted Klaudt, etc!--has long made an issue of gay rights.

All? No. Most? Betcha...
But are they really homosexuals or are they bisexuals? Or maybe they're just "curious." The point being, of course, is that it isn't the behavior that makes someone homosexual (if it were, then the gay rights groups couldn't go around whining about how they didn't choose to be gay). Of course, it's really no different than leftists who go on and on about respecting women and supporting feminism but then commit sexual harrassment in the workplace or commit adultery (Bill Clinton, for example).

First of all it is not an "unborn child", it is an "unborn fetus". And it is a part of the woman's body, without which it could neither exist nor develop. It does not become "a child" until it is born into the world.

But are they really homosexuals or are they bisexuals? Or maybe they're just "curious." The point being, of course, is that it isn't the behavior that makes someone homosexual (if it were, then the gay rights groups couldn't go around whining about how they didn't choose to be gay).

You're curious, and you make no sense. Homosexual is not about behavior, it's about "orientation". Just because someone is celibate, doesn't mean they don't have desires or fantasies, or that they don't masturbate.
Let's poll priests to find out how many do.
Those "lefties" who do as you described are no more than hypocrites...which is a label which can be applied to any of the politicos who were caught up in scandal. There are even hypocrites in this very forum, or didn't you know?

I agree with Chan here. He expresses my own feelings well about how honorary degrees demean the value of the work real students perform in order to get their valid degrees. I've never believed in granting one to someone just because they are famous or whatever lame reason is used to grant an honorary, "pseudo" degree.

You really do need to go back to elementary school and learn how to read!

What part of "The point being, of course, is that it isn't the behavior that makes someone homosexual" did you NOT understand???
