Yes, IMO, #3 is almost too good to be true. She’s been my desktop background since I found the pic a week or so ago.

[ETL]

Well, I hope it was a good experience. :)

I can’t seem to find which clause of the Constitution delegates that power to Congress. I’ll keep looking...

[Mrs. Don-o]

ETL, that's offensive and kinda dubious in the practical sense as well.

If you had a problem with out-of-control heterosexual impulse --- say your sex drive was was getting you in trouble at work and at home --- would you be cured by looking at pictures of hunky men?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Exactly.

Or to help retarded people learn.

Just as examples.

We are truly living in Absurdistan.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Didn’t you get the memo... freedom to practice living in accordance with moral issues must thoroughly be stomped.

[central_va]

would you be cured by looking at pictures of hunky men?

No you think about baseball.

[Dilbert San Diego]

OMG my heart skipped a beat at the sight of these girls. OMG, this is a good start at conversion therapy. Make your imagination run as you think about them as a companion, girlfriend, wife.....

I would think any truth-based examination of the issues would show that these liberals are heavily cherry picking at best, outright lying at worst.

“If you don’t agree gay is okay, we will clobber you!”

[DiogenesLamp]

Opponents of sexual orientation change efforts, such as Reps. Ted W. Lieu and Jackie Speier, both California Democrats, say being homosexual is not a disorder or illness, and efforts to change one’s sexual orientation are wrong and harmful.

Well they are Democrats, so that means they don't know what they are talking about.

[HiTech RedNeck]

People who have had serious family/abuse issues need more reflection than that. This is the kind of thing that is examined and addressed in these therapies that the liberals are trying to shriek down.

[ETL]

Sorry, Mrs. Don-o. Not sure what you’re saying, but I’m sorry anyway. :)

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s like they have shown antidepressants to be “harmful” — not considering who is going to be most likely to want to take them in the first place. If it ain’t perfect it has to be from hades, goes the thought process.

[hecticskeptic]

Reps. Ted W. Lieu and Jackie Speier, both California Democrats, say being homosexual is not a disorder or illness...

I agree with them.... to classify it as a 'disorder' is wrong and simply inaccurate. It's a perversion and it's sin.......

[ameribbean expat]

sounds like someone’s afraid they could be forced into treatment...or might lose 80% of their staff.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And what does that get anyone but an academic picky point for you to crow about?

Drunkenness is a sin yet we do not talk that way about alcohol addiction therapies.

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

[Secret Agent Man]

Repubs are standing against nothing, and for nothing.

They are worthless. They are happy to let us slide along, they think it’s a done deal the pendulum will shift a repub into the presidency. They just want to be the dictators.

It is truly, truly sickening. Nobody stands up for anything decent anymore.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Maybe that’s because everyone including those who are complaining about it are not bothering to stand up for God, centrally, first.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yeah, I feel that way, too. It does seem that Cruz is a brave soul, though.
