I don't know what inane, liberal college you learned your history lessons from but if you think homosexuality is good and normal for a nation you are as sick and depraved as the people that practice it.

It would be really nice if some on this forum could carry on an intellectual debate without ad hominem attacks. FYI, 476 AD is a date commonly given for the fall of the Roman Empire. Many reasons are given, including the rise of Christianity, financial woes and barbarian intrusians. Of course breaking it up into two regions didn't help. Could not see where homosexuality had any impact, and if it did, it did so under Christianity.

Lighten up Francis

I never claimed homosexuality is good, I'm just pointing out that the poster was wrong. Homosexuality was normal in ancient Rome and they thrived. Slavery and gladiatorial games were also normal, those things weren't exactly good either

But regardless of the rightness/normalness/wrongness of such things that's just the way it was.

Liberals have to tell lies and use historical revisions in order to prop up their positions, we Conservatives (except for the Creationist/Iders) don't and shouldn't, our positions are more than solid enough that we don't need to resort to such tactics.
