Lawyers, doctors, and dentists are high on the "gay" % lists.

If gay marriage is enacted, some gay men will inevitably give Aids to their wives. Will this be grounds for divorce?

Clinton & libs talking points:

Jefferson = slavemates

Lincoln = gay

the "run down the founding fathers" trick to make himself look less slimey

So? Why should normal people give a damn?

Because it costs $12,000 a year to keep each one of them alive, and you're paying some of that.

The reason why infection rates are up is they can get infected, go on antiretroviral drugs, have someone else pay for it and continue their lifestyle. Why worry?

I bet gay men find gay sex to be a pain in the rear.

Charlie?

Hitler and Stalin killed people. We are watching people addicted to bad behavior killing themselves. Big difference.

True enough. You're just sitting on the sidelines rooting for millions to die. Congratulations. You're a better person than Hitler and Stalin.

No one is forcing them to engage in highly risky, deviant behaviors. What happens to them is because they brought it on themselves. And they are bringing death to the entire population by spreading disease outside their (deserving) group.

No one forces people to drink and drive either and they kill more folks than people with AIDS do in America. Would you root for their deaths, as well as those that they kill? Presumably not.

Yet that is precisely what the lady lawyer is doing when it comes to homosexuals.

I'd be happy if they'd give up the bad behavior and thus save themselves. But, if you say that, they attack you, just like you've attacked me. Do I think the world will be a better place without people who prefer promiscuous, deviant sex over life? You betcha.

In your own view, what positives is the homosexual culture adding to our society?

Certainly on the cultural side they've added disproptionately to our society. As to in general, they hold many jobs in many walks of life that help society, including medicine. Same as the heterosexuals.

Or so they would have you believe. I think we'd be pretty much the same without them.

This is the same logic the pro-drug crowd uses, and it is just as irrelevant here. The sample sizes are in no way comparable. I saw somewhere that the life expectancy of a homosexual is in the 40s. Would that number hold up for people who drink? Didn't think so.

Do you think we'd all be better off without alcoholics and drunk drivers? Do you root for those folks to die in order to make a better world?

Do you think we'd be better off without politicians who lie to us at every turn? Would we better off without them? Do you root for them to die?

Do you think we'd be better off without fat people? Would we better off without them? They certainly disproportianately drain the medical budget of the country. Do you root for them to die?

Who else should we get rid of in order to make the planet better?

We pretty much would be but I don't see that as a reason to hope for them to die.

First off, I don't know if your figure of 40s is correct. Secondly, the proper analogy isn't to people who drink, it's to alcoholics and people who drink and drive.

I agree with you,there are many things that should not be forgiven until the perpetrators admit their complicity,rectify the damages done and ask for forgiveness.

The effects of silencing the news media from reporting the devastation wreaked on hemophiliacs is/was criminal.

In fact,the entire AIDS/HIV "tragedrama",which was almost solely due to the secrecy and lies imposed on every one who suspected or knew what was happening,is/was criminal.

It seems to me that the criminals and their agents should be relieved of a lot of the money they have,and which they use to perpetuate this "tragedrama".A couple of good lawsuits aimed at newspapers,television broadsacters,some medical associations,some education organizations,various "action" groups,such as Act-Up,Queer Naton,Glisn,Glaad,NAMBLA might put a squeeze on their finances.

Losing those lawsuits might have a double effect. The money would provide some restitution for the families who lost loved ones and at the same time prevent the "perps" from donating to politicians,who continue to carry out their bidding from public offices,inflicting serious physical,emotional and financial harm to Americans,in general.
