If parts of your body could give you tremendous amounts of pleasure, then it'd only be logical for you to figure out how to use those parts.

And yet millions of people never figure out how to use the one between their ears.

PHANTPM LORD should have been PHANTOM LORD. Sorry for the typo-o.

[Concerned]

Man! My typing is BAD today! typo-o should have been type-o. It would have helped, though, if I had used both hands to type.

The link leads to the Tar Heels Reader's Forum where you will actually find the guy's comments.

One of two toggling banner ads on the web page is: "WRONG EXIT...You Could Learn a Lot From a Dummy."

How appropriate!

What a sickening article from a sad excuse for a human being. Just think of the many kids who will have their minds polluted through gay adoption. It is frightening.

That is a common but misinformed myth. There is no evidence that gay men live longer or less than anyone else. Sexual orientation is not noted on death certificates, nor on actuarial tables.

Take off the blinders.

Medical examiners note the causes on autopsies.

Seems like I read that someone to took the time to scan the obits over a period of time in large cities. Most obits of gays are easy to spot. Long, wordy, windy, poetry, mention of 'partners', survived by 'Bruce', etc.

Definately shorter life spans.

Additionally, read in professional journals how the fields of architecture, design, etc, have been decimated by AIDs.

Hmmm. Thus arises the conundrum that I've yet to see any effeminate males wearing lipstick in insurance commericals.

The prices they have listed for the refurbished Rainbows are way high. I got mine for $225. And when paper bags start falling from the sky, cleaning the dust and debris from the air I will switch to a vacuum that uses a bag.

Until then, water filtration for me.

I see you are following the advise in the article...

If parts of your body could give you tremendous amounts of pleasure, then it'd only be logical for you to figure out how to use those parts.

[TC Rider]

It is my considered opinion that based on your post, no gays are dying earlier than straights.

Let's cut out all of that funding for AIDs research, AIDs drug support, AIDs housing, AIDs advocacy, etc.

We've obviously been boondoggled.

[TEXASPROUD]

LOL! Your bad today.

In a traditional heterosexual relationship, the man is the bill-payer, while the female plays a much more supportive role, like keeping the house.

But in queer relationships, who does what is much less clear. Everything is open for negotiation.

This guy is clueless about hetero relationships (go figure). I have yet to encounter a hetero relationship that wasn't negotiated, just like every other relationship.

Your comparrison is a fraud. Rapists and murderes are criminals. Two adults having consenting sex are not criminals.

Used to be. Criminality is not necessarily a measure of right / wrong. In today's world, rape and possession of a handgun fall into one category (criminal) while sodomy and murder of unborn children fall into another (legal). It has not always been so.

[Phantom Lord]

Comparing a rapist or murderer to an activity between two consenting adults is not a worthwhile analogy. It is wrong on so many levels.

[Britton J Wingfield]

I will always have a Rainbow. And I will never buy one new.

I will have to check that out. My vacuum is abotu to give up the ghost.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Until then, water filtration for me.

So you favor a bong over a joint?
