I suspect that the average person subscribing to this network does NOT want to read flaming-hot articles that will burn out the phosphor on their screen from virtrolic hate (good phrase eh?) (pardon the crass generalization!) on the morality of homosexuality. If this discussion did take off, all that would occur is that there would be narrow minded pinheaded twits like, well, umm, gee, yourself, who would stand on their stack of bibles and biased books etc and spout about the inherent evil of it, and phrases like 'if God meant man to be homosexual, he would have allowed two adults of the same sex to procreate' or perhaps more likely 'Gee, look at all the horrid illnesses that gay people get...it must surely mean that homosexual people are damned!' That, my friend (?) is BULLSHIT! Morality-wise, I couldn't give a f*** about how someone else lives their life. If they contract some wild disease, I will NOT accuse them of ruining the capitalistic way of life that we lead, or proving to be another of them 'commie plots' or whatever you get so gung ho about. (Gee...I am getting more hostile as I go..soon I might be coughing and wheezing from the inevitable asbestos that I will be forced to don) Sigh. I have this strange feeling that there are some people who really DO argue for the sake of arguing. Not only that, but you are one of them. The worst part is you claim to back your comments up with research. I know that the 'printed' word is a double-edged sword, but you wield it with the cunning of a viper. This is NOT complimentary. I am reminded of the quote "Ahh Religion. What evils have been done in your name!" (or some permutation of that!). I think we can, in closing, safely adapt the quote for this situation; Ahh Research! What evils have been done citing you! Firmly ensconsed, Dave Taylor
