Kneel down. Put your hands together. Offer thanks right this very moment to whatever deity you desire that that you are not 18 years old and gay and living in the state of Kansas right now.

This gratitude, it is a given. This is so much of a given you might not even need to hear why. You just say to yourself, oh my freaking God, I can only imagine.

[CholeraJoe]

the Bible is the absolute literal word of an angry fire-breathing football-lovin' Shania-lovin' war-happy God,

The author forgot NASCAR.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Hey Morford. Aren't you the one lecturing us that judges should be obeyed?

[dfwgator]

Whatever.

[yankeedame]

Offer thanks right this very moment to whatever deity you desire that that you are not 18 years old and gay and living in the state of Kansas right now.

(Gallic shrug) So? You're 18. You're not nailed to the place. Either move or shut up.

[cyborg]

If he feels so threatened then he should carry a gun. Otherwise STFU.

To the population of Kaliforney who agree with this article....

Go ahead and stay out of Kansas! We really don't care about your alternative/pierced/tatooed/diseased/drug using/homeless infested/high tax lifestyle.

Semper Fi

So I presume Morford considers that pedophile priest who caused all the ruckus in Boston to be a hero and a role model, right?

I mean, that *is* what his problem with Kansas is, that they don't allow adults to have gay sex with pubescent boys. And he can't even issue that the issue is hypocrisy because that pervert from Boston did all he could to win the "right" to "inter-generational" homosexual sex.

Funny how liberals will even bash you for being overly tolerant of them, isn't it?

Actually I do so every day, thanking God I am not gay. End of statement. Living in Kansas I could take or leave. Being 18?... ;-) never mind.

"And let's say you dare to give in to your lovelust and have consensual gay sex with a minor -- say, a gay 14-year-old boy."

Too bad. If I were that Mom, you'd be picking the glass out of your head with your toenails. What next, 12 year olds, how about six?

I really find this man disgusting.

[dangus]

>>These uptight colon-clenched Georgian parents<<

They only clench their colons when they have good reason to, Mr. Morford.

>>Be grateful you don't live in Kansas<<

Gee, Mr. Morford, just how many of your readers WANT to have gay sex with young boys?

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping Alert: Warning, this is a ripe one. I think it needs a wider audience, though. Maybe freepers is Kansas should let it be known what the homo-nazis (sorry, it just slipped out) think about the laws of their fair state.

Gosh, maybe I should move to Kansas. So what if it doesn't have any trees.

Let me know if you want on or off this ping list!

[King Black Robe]

So, being molested by an 18 year old makes a person gay? Poor kid. Sounds to me like Kansans are the ones who should be giving thanks. Keeping child molesters locked up sounds like a good idea to me.

[centurion316]

I live in Kansas and I, too, am outraged.

The guy who had consensual sex with a male 14-year old should be serving 30 years, not 17. The same goes for the guy who had consensual sex with a female 14-year old.

Society has an obligation to protect children from self-centered, immoral adults who prey upon them. Hanging, burning, drawing and quartering having fallen out of fashion; putting these monsters away for a very long time seems only appropriate.

There should be no doubt that one of the objectives of the homosexual crowd is to gain unfettered access to other people's children so that they can have their pick of the most desirable ones as sexual toys and playthings.

Grrrrrrr...

[Right Wing Professor]

Boy, Morford really has his frillies in a twist about this one, doesn't he?

[TheBigB]

Sentient well-souled bipeds who can speak in complete sentences

Well that lets Marky Mark out right there.

[Iron Matron]

They only clench their colons when they have good reason to, Mr. Morford

Like when taking a walk in san francisco.

[mountaineer]

I never can stand to read his columns closely enough, so someone will have to tell me if Missy Morford was true to form with this one: did he blame Ashcroft for something or say something vaguely homoerotic about George Bush?

[TheBigB]

He was probably making plans to head to Kansas to meet a few minors...now he's all disappointed that he can't go.
