        Nothing wrong with being single (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 1:03:36 AM
        
        and I'm not demanding spousal benefits either, since I have no special role (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 1:06:35 AM
        
        By your reasoning... - R.L. - 4/21/2006 1:04:31 PM
        
        Not really - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:12:10 PM
        
        So - then you would be ok with gays getting spousal benifits if they adopt? - R.L. - 4/21/2006 5:29:28 PM
        
        Twenty years ago, we wouldn't be having this conversation - SDF - 4/22/2006 1:06:18 PM
        
        No, we'd be having the same conversation about race. - Mary Anne - 4/22/2006 4:53:18 PM

        Do you think that you turn a PROFIT with the tax breaks by adopting a kid? - R.L. - 4/21/2006 1:07:13 PM

        If he beats her up, he should be charged with assault, taken away, and never allowed to return - SDF - 4/21/2006 4:01:51 PM
        
        Gays already adopt. - tony - 4/21/2006 12:12:41 AM
        
        I didn't know that. A court decision was made on November 26, 1999. - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:35:18 AM
        
        so should single women not be allowed to adopt? (n/t) - SDG - 4/21/2006 12:12:05 AM
        
        No. (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:38:59 AM
        
        and if the single woman is gay? (n/t) - SDG - 4/21/2006 5:16:22 AM
        
        then she is still single (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:50:50 PM

        Because that is the natural means by which babies are made, with few exceptions (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:38:12 AM
        
        Most things people do today isn't 'natural'... why does this one example bother you? - R.L. - 4/21/2006 12:58:29 PM
        
        What makes you think homosexuality is natural? (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:34:20 PM
        
        Because it appears in nature. - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 3:50:34 PM
        
        That was my original point, it DOES appear in nature - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:54:24 PM
        
        While you assign them their "place", don't forget to shave their heads and tattoo numbers on their arms. (n/t) - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 4:33:07 PM
        
        Ironically, many of them are already doing such things - SDF - 4/21/2006 4:45:06 PM

    - Left-handed people aren't so offensive. - SDF - 4/20/2006 8:15:40 PM

        The degree of deviance that people are willing to accept varies somewhat, but not really that much. - SDF - 4/21/2006 12:53:10 AM

        Um, because human beings are more complex than that. - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 3:37:12 PM
        
        I don't think people are complex at all - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:42:46 PM

        It's not really hatred that I feel. It's disgust. Why are you willing to accept their bahaviour, but not willing to accept that I am offended by it? (n/t) - SDF - 4/21/2006 1:01:24 AM
        
        Be offended all you want. - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 12:54:16 PM

        I still think they should justify their sexual preference before encoding it in law - SDF - 4/21/2006 3:49:37 PM
        
        Why? And do you intend to institute a "test" for that too? - Mary Anne - 4/21/2006 4:00:24 PM
