A strong majority, 63 percent, of Americans now say that same-sex couples should have a legal right to adopt a child, according to a new Gallup poll. About one in three, 35 percent, are opposed.
The result is the opposite of 1992, when Gallup first polled the question. Sixty-three percent said homosexual couples should not be legally permitted to adopt in that year. In 1998, that number declined to 57 percent. In 2003 and 2007, Americans were about equally divided on the question.
The recent poll was the first time Gallup showed a clear majority supportive of giving same-sex couples the legal right to adopt a child.
The strongest support came from Democrats (80 percent), followed by independents (61 percent), then Republicans (51 percent).
Young people were more supportive than older people. Among ages 18 to 29, 77 percent answered that same-sex couples should have the right to adopt, followed by 65 percent for ages 30 to 49, 59 percent for ages 50 to 64 and 52 percent for those 65 and older.

Freeping Since 2001 (Since 2001. Seriously.)ZOTTED in 2014 (ZOTTED 2014. Seriously.)
But it's for Resident Trolls. Newbie Trolls like Freeping Since 2001 don't enter the radar long enough before they get The ZOT.
Hmmm... Yes. There is worthy of praise, and there is worthy of ZOT.
Thank you so much again, O Keeper of The List.
Everything’s just fine here, thank you. And you? Still giving your BB ten fits? ;-)
Another breakout of troll rash the past week or so. They aren’t even subtle about it.
Poor babies just don’t understand the site.
Hmmm... Perhaps if they read the rules... Nah. They never go by the rules.
All is good here! I haven’t heard from my BB in a long time! I think he’s busy or maybe he has a girlfriend. LOL!
I hope he does! :)
Based on your receipt of the ZOT from FR, you would normally be sent a copy of the ButtHurt form.
However, based on the content of your comments pre-ZOT, it has been determined that merely the title of the form could be construed by you as some form of encouragement to continue your support for the homosexual agenda.
Therefore, you are being offered this instead:
Pffffft!
I disagree strongly with the points made by fs2001, but I didn’t see anything that deserved a zot, unless his opinion was enough to get it. Isn’t that kind of “DU-like”?
I say this after going to his posting history link.
Anyone who supports gays adopting children does not belong on this site.
We’ll find out in October. [big smiles] I’m looking forward to it.
Actually, yes, they are.
I know personally, I would hit it with any gender, species, mineral content, shape, amperage or voltage, presence or absence of a heartbeat, and I am a Superfreak.
Perfect response, once again. ;-)
Seems like I must have been through there.
To be clear, I strongly disagreed with his post. I also don't call them gay. I call them homosexuals. Period.
But I see this site as a place where people can respectfully disagree. That alone will keep out the unsupportable positions of the liberals. The reason is simple: Thay can't stay respectful because eventually they get their butt handed to them and they go verbally postal. And then they give a reason to be banned.
If we ban all dissent, this site becomes pretty boring.
Oh, and after reading this guy's posting history, his banning was very remeniscent of the banning of another long time member. I searched it:

The user is Robroy. Looks like neither of them got a warning.
What ever happened to just agreeing to disagree on an issue and moving on. On posts here we not only get just a partial glimpse of their point of view, but sometimes people don't even really clarify their core point very well, especially in a single post. I wonder what either of these guys would say about the subject that got them banned if you could drill into their motives for their point of view and, for that matter, allow them to fully articulate the nuances. I wonder if either of them really disagree with the rest of us that much. And to re-iterate, I read FS2001's posting history on this thread (and a few others). Even though I disagree with him on this issue, he was an asset to this site, if only due to his communication style. The really creepy part is that sometimes I'll play devil's advocate on an issue in a thread to bring out some interesting discussion. Looks like that would be quickly banned here before I even had a chance to explain what I was doing.
Retread perhaps?
LOL!!!
Well done, Colonel!
