One tolerates a tooth ache. One tolerates a screaming baby in the store. These perverts don't want "tolerance" they want acceptance and they will get it if they have to have the courts force it.

I don't doubt the woman was irritating and wrong but this response article would have been a lot stronger with actual quotes and not fudging on the facts. I don't believe you find a study showing that homosexuals die 30 years early on average.

two that I knew did:

1) Aids at the age of 40 (bathouses in S.F.)

2) Suicide at 48 (aging chickenhawk - no more young lovers)

knowing them as friends is a waste - they're not in it for the long haul.

I completely agree with that article in its entirety except for this statement:

"The Scouts are correct in denying access to youngsters to openly homosexual potential Scout masters."

The author should have left out the word "openly".

Ah, yes. The Left can't win in the arena of ideas. So they've take to muzzling and censoring their opponents through name-calling, intimidation and physical threats. They're bullies, plain and simple. It takes courage to stand up to them but its worth it, since they can't win on the merits. They can't win a rational debate.

Exactly. In other words, "tolerance for me, but not for thee".

Good links and I'm glad you posted them but it didn't point to a study that I can scrutinize.

Disclaimer: I'm a physicist by education and i tend to think in those terms - "what was the study" "what was the sample" "what was the definition of homosexual lifestyle"

That's what a fast search grabbed- let me call an expert...

Unfortunately, none of those links has any hard data. One claims "studies have found" without any citations to specific studies or links to them, and the other two are fellow Freepers expressing opinions or repeating statistics they had heard elsewhere.

I'm not saying that they're wrong, just that it's tough to use that in an argument if there are no concrete links to verifiable data. It's easy to snipe at a stat with nothing to back it up. We do it all the time when some figure seems to be pulled out of the air to support one of the left's pet causes - "100,000 homeless people die on the streets of America each year!" "95% of minorities face on-the-job discrimination!", so it's good to have a solid defense for our facts.

thanks..and i would certainly acknowledge that risk factors - unprotected sex, crystal meth use etc absolutely lower life expectancy.

Thanks for the ping. (One for the list, guys!)

Funny thing is that people who want to deny that the "gay" life is unnatural, unhealthy, and immoral often want to dispute or deny statistics etc we present, but never - and I mean NEVER - present any arguments that support their position.

Not once. Ever.

Despite all the hi-tech stuff I've worked on over the years I still have the most fun with tube gear. I'm restoring a nice Hallicrafters SX-130 right now. Real radios glow in the dark! <g>

As a Cub Scout Leader, I had to take "Youth Protection Traning". Just a series of very common sense rules for adult interaction with youth. Check this out:

Knowing that this is required training helps me relax and not worry about my boy and his scouting experience.
