Nuke it from space? Maybe one ICBM (Inter-Collegetown Ballistic Missile) with a MIRV each for Ithaca, Berkeley, Boulder, Iowa City...

The “homosexual lifestyle“ is purely about sex. They will say otherwise, but its all about just one thing for them.

Like the article said..if a guy used a womans body part to make a statement the public outcry would probably be deafening. There’s link to the artist gal’s blog with a picture of one of the “artistic” creations.

Makes me cringe.

Logs, tar, feathers and a cat-o-nine tails! They work wonders, as experience has shown. However, members of our society no longer have the moral strength to exclude such vermin. To put it another way our society can no longer excrete.

Looks very much like one of the last photos of Lenin, who died of tertiary syphilis, unbeknownst to most of the poor shlubs in USSR at the time. Available on the net somewhere and photo is b/w, and appalling. Neurosyphilis was the diagnosis.

Speaking in favor of the late Mr. Holmes, first of all, he was tried and acquitted in the murders. And second, though he did have sex in two European porn movies knowing that he had AIDS, he did not give AIDS to any of his co-stars, and they are all alive today, which they would not have been had they contracted the virulent early version of HIV that Holmes had.

It remains a question of how he was infected with HIV in the first place, as though he was involved with a heroin gang, Holmes himself had a severe needle phobia and would have never used intravenous drugs. Clearly it was from his performance in a homosexual movie, and some homosexual loops; which seems obvious in that every other actor in the homosexual movie died of AIDS.

But as some wit remarked, Holmes should best be remembered by an unofficial epitaph:

“He burned the candle at both ends,
And in the middle, too.
But on his foes, and on his friends,
He left a puddle of goo.”

Wow, didn't know about the four murders. Guess he stabbed someone to death? ;')
