    Are anti-Discrimination laws just?

    Anyone else want to take a crack at this? I kind of want to know how people can rationalize denying the rights of a private business owner to serve who he pleases. Anyone have an answer?

    My major in college was molecular biology. I myself cloned genes in class. In fact, I spliced genes from one organism into another - I think I know a thing or two about the science. What they might do is create a market for fetal stem cells which might encourage women to become pregnant for...

    Question About Rights?

    I can't answer all of these questions after you have muti-quoted them because the post is trashed - you know this. I am not in favor of the death penalty precisely because I fear innocent people will be put to death and it will be abused. Morally, I think it is wrong to allow a murderer to...

    Sex, sex and more sex.

    Is it with a different guy (or two) every day? That is why I said women can't understand men's sexuality. You guys really have no idea what your average man would do given the availability. Sure, we all know women enjoy sex. But, less than 1% of women would even contemplate what 90% of men...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    I bet nearly everyone in this thread thinks the military ought to ban proselytizing your religious beliefs. My attitude toward life in general is if you can't leave your personal crap at home stay there. As an employer, I don't want to hear anyone's crap. If you are in a bad mood, fix it...

    Are anti-Discrimination laws just?

    I know you can answer the questions. I was hoping to challenge others to attempt to address these questions analytically. I doubt many here would be able to or even try. Plus, causing others to experience cognitive dissonance amuses me.

    Now I'm lost, I can't find anything about the Constitution in my Bible.

    Sex, sex and more sex.

    Guys, let's not turn this into a nature vs nurture debate with regard to sexuality. Let's just say for the sake of argument that we could get women to be as sexually aggressive as men. For clarification (because I know women don't understand what that means) most men would have at least...

    Are anti-Discrimination laws just?

    This no doubt sounds like a stupid question. Pretty much everyone agrees that it is wrong to discriminate. But, does anyone ever ask why? If a person owns a business, do we really have a right to force that person to conduct business with people they don't want to? The Constitution...

    Sex, sex and more sex.

    I doubt if this were the case there would be many monogamous couples. Male sexuality is limited pretty much by their options until they decide they want a family, then it's limited by their conscious or ability to get away with it. Think about the fact that most good looking women have...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    Your argument is pathetic. What you are saying is that I must prove that all of my views are correct in order to prove that they do not come from religious dogma. Thinking people understand that it is difficult if not impossible to prove abstract political and social issues either way -...

    Sex, sex and more sex.

    Suppose for a moment that someone built a machine that could transfer male sexuality into the brains of females. And none of this stuff about social stigma or any of that garbage. Just suppose women would act like men normally act with regard to sex. What would the world look like? Would...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    You mean like the Boy Scouts of America, or like the parents who don't want a gay man supervising their 9 year old son on camping trips?

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    The fact that you would even need specific examples proves my point. Have you not read dozens of my posts? Examples of how I approach these issues are all over this forum. If you want to talk examples, give one example of me, or anyone else, quoting the Bible. You love to accuse people of...

    Question About Rights?

    The guy in the video is spewing BS. His very first point is dead wrong. Terrorists are not the same in the eyes of the law as a "person" accused of a crime. His quoting of the Constitution is a blatant fabrication. Yes, no person shall be compelled to incriminate himself. This is in regard...

    Question About Rights?

    Is this thread about Constitutional law or about the ethical question of whether or not enemy combatants ought to have constitutional rights? I do believe the rules for treatment of enemy combatants is different than those for civilian criminals. I don't even see the comparison. There is...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    OK I give up! For animals homosexuality is a choice - for people it isn't. Am I seeing it the right way now?

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    And here folks we have a perfect example. Notice that this person is wholly unable to even fathom how a person can hold Conservative views that are not rooted in religion. He can not even imagine that there could possibly be non-religious views regarding the social issues above. The only...

    The president who cried wolf

    The very bottom line on this issue is whether or not you want the Government in charge of health care. In other words, do you want the same people in charge of the DMV and the post office deciding what medical treatment you get? I can see it now, 6 weeks to see a doctor, then a 4 hour wait in...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    Those with deep religious beliefs are almost always Conservative - it would be hard not to be. But, one can easily be Conservative without being religious - in fact most are. By religious I mean deeply religious not just belief in God. Interestingly, most "reformed" (secular leaning) Jews are...
