No Madam it is our responsibility as adults to point out when people are doing destructive things. When we tell the truth and speak our minds. We are being kind by caring about those who participate in destructive behaviors. By telling them their behavior is destructive we help them to grow into mature responsible human beings. We do not get pleasure from putting criminals in Jail but will do so to protect our children and responsible members in society. I advocate the removal if need be of people who pervert and destroy us as a civilized nation. To allow homosexuals to degrade themselves and others is irresponsible. To allow the homosexuals to commit statutory rape of our children by pushing their perverted ideas upon our young is irresponsible. Their behavior and their treatment of others is unacceptable. We will reinforce positive attitudes and behaviors and provide discipline to those who abuse us.

You and I have never really talked this out because there has been so much else to do. You make some valid points about the importance of putting people who make SAD displays in public, but I am a little uncomfortable about the idea of jailing someone who, for example, simply walked hand in hand with someone of the same sex. I actually prefer simple social discrimination to enforcing a law.

On the other hand, there are egregious behaviors that should not be tolerated - either SAD or heterosexual displays that are meant to be held behind closed doors. But more simple displays - I don't know. Attempting suicide is a crime (or it used to be) but when someone actually survives an attempt we don't imprison them, we get help for them.

Your thoughts?

If we get this talked all the way through, the result will make a great addition to our talking points.

Shalom.
