"I can imagine all kinds of stuff, but I live in the real world and have enough to deal with in my own life without sticking my nose in other people's business."

Concern over the declining moral health of the nation is no more "sticking my nose in other people's business" as concern over a declining business climate. The acceptance of "other lifestyles" and alternative families is going to bite us all eventually. Go read Theodore Dalrymple if you want a up close and personal look at what happens to a society that abandons traditional morality.


BTW, if your so pressed for time with "all you have to deal with" then why are you posting on this thread???



"Get your values from somewhere besides celebrities and politicians. You'll be a lot happier. "

I do, in fact. I get them from the Bible. That's why I have the moral sense to recognize the wrongness of this "chic" lesbian marraige abomination.

This is a "rock and a hard place issue" for the President and his comments were to be expected. He can't throw his VP's daughter under the bus and not cause a firestorm.

Aside from the issue of gays and lesbians raising children (which I believe should be discouraged) Mary Cheney's impending parenthood brings up another issue, that of the current trend of "child as accessory".

Whether it's Madonna buying African children, psycho Tom Cruise and his Stepford incubator, "Brangelina", Brittney Spears, or most egregious of all, Rosie O'Donnell, we now live in a world where children are viewed by the elites as pets to be acquired for cute photo ops, but abandoned on a whim for pantyless benders.

I have no idea what kind of mother Mary Cheney will be (I suspect she will be fine), but I do know that after 33 years of legalized abortion we have so devalued the lives of children that celebrities sport them like the latest handbag and probably value them less.

I'm not "pressed for time." I just pick and choose what and when I want to do something.

Frankly, I love watching you Holier-Than-Thou types do your thing.

And while I'm watching, I wonder how perfect your life is that you feel you're in any position at all to lecture others.

Values from the Bible?

Such as When to Stone Your Children. or When to Stone Your Whole Family , or maybe how to conduct yourself as a proper master of your slaves?

Did you follow this law and if it does not apply to you do you agree with it?

What if my sister in law and I do not want to marry each other? Are we violating your "values?" What if I already have a wife?

I know what your views are on religious tolerance from this Godly decree. Harsh.

Whatever you do...Leviticus 19:27-28 says

27:Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

How many stories like this have inspired your "values?"

And these are just a few off the top of my head. There are many more such exanples. Would you like to see?
