Right on target -bullseye!
;-)
I got the impression that she was agreeing with specificity as to the author's general conclusion...
Or he may have studied history.
These people should learn about the ancient Greeks and Romans.
"these people" really could care less! Try DU if you wish to continue your liberal debate...
To go into more detail, by "these people", I mean those people who willing choose to remain ignorant about history.
I hope you don't include yourself in that group.
I include myself in the group opposed to the liberal talking points you consistently post in support of the homosexualization of society...
Any relation to the founder of the Church of Satan?
If you blindly oppose anything that you don't like you will become no better than those anti-Bush lunatics at the DNC.

We have learnd bout them Paul.They no longer exsit. They fell into oblivion because of their amoral/immoral scocial practices. Just like Sodom and Gammora.

On the contary, the city of Rome still stands as a center of power, but instead political power of yesterday, it is a center of religious power.
They fell into oblivion because of their amoral/immoral scocial practices. Just like Sodom and Gammora.
Sodom and Gammora were just two cities. the Roman Empire stretched from what is now England to just east of India. From south Germany to the Sahara desert of Africa.
Some of the roads built by the Romans are still used even today.
Large parts of Western civilization has it's roots in ancient Roman and earlier Greek culture.
Their art, their math, their science, their philosophy have been used to shape the world is to this day.
And up until around 300 to 400 AD the Romans were not against homosexuality.
I know this is hard for you to accept, these are the facts.
And all that's left of them is the ruins like the Roman coliseum and bath houses where they fed people to lions while their boy sex slaves fed them grapes while they lusted after blood, violence and homosexual perversion.
Same thing for ancient Greeks.
Those are the facts.
The city of Rome still stands.
Their art is still admired.
Their science and math is used today in a more updated form.
Their philosophy is still talked about.
As I see it, the works of the ancient Romans and Greeks still exist, and you just want to pretend they do not.
Note this:
"Other psychiatrists have gone a step further and suggested that persons who exhibit “homophobia” may need to be treated with anti-psychotic medications, with a program already implemented within the California Department of Corrections.
Shama Chaiken, divisional chief psychologist for the department, said, “We treat racism and homophobia as delusional disorders. Treatment with anti-psychotics does work to reduce these prejudices.”"
Anyone who doesn't see what these people want for us is either in agreement with them, or is in total denial. I think people should read (or re-read) "Brave New World" and "1984" and get a clue.
They want total domination with us, the normal people, as squirming little worms under their boots.
The great mathematics of the Greeks they learned from brahmins in India, for one thing. For another, even the normal Greeks and Romans were disgusted at the pederasty and sodomy of the perverts, and had laws to protect boys (and young girls) from deviants. They had to send boys to schools with guards to keep them safe.
If someone wants to support homosexual behavior by citing other "cultures", how about New Guinea? If they haven't changed their ways, they have young boys living in the men's longhouse being sodomized while the women do all - and I mean ALL - the work of food growing, while the men sit around - well, doing what I just said, hunting pigs occasionally, and I think they smoke stuff or ferment spit and drink it. Also, they have the charming custom of cutting off a woman's finger every time a relative dies, so most old women (should they live that long) have very few fingers, while they hoe the sweet potatoes.
They also never, ever bathe - not even once in their whole lives.
Of course, times may have changed with the advance of civilization. I've heard many of them are now alcoholics and drug addicts.
I guess their mode of life is just as good as any, right?
So if you make any values or morals based judgements you aren't sane? It is more sane to take another mans' genitals into your @$$ than to find that practice disgusting?
Yes, you're right, Our founding fathers talked about them to...
Benjamin Franklin: Constitutional Convention Address on Prayer
delivered Thursday, June 28, 1787, Philadelphia, PA
Mr. President:
The small progress we have made after 4 or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other -- our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own wont of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.
In this situation of this Assembly groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings?
In the beginning of the contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the Divine Protection. -- Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a Superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need His assistance?
I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a *sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings that * "except the Lord build they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall be become a reproach and a bye word down to future age. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human Wisdom, and leave it to chance, war, and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move -- that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.
*Franklin Quoted Jesus there. And there as well.
That is only one small example of how our founders warned us against turning away from God and embracing immorality.
I just hope Jesup and the other perversion advocates learn the truth..;-)
The Founding Fathers had a lot of discussion about Democracies and Republics, they expected the U.S. to last around 200 years, yet you cannot get your head out of the sand.
