Rainbow Flag Will Fly Over Montreal City Hall During Olympics

I've been a liberal all my life, learned my politics from my father, and what I want from government, mostly, is to leave me alone. Leave everyone alone. Stop trying to manage.
Conservatives, to me, are the managers, the rule-writers, the roadblocks. It was conservatism that needed to be overcome for womens rights to happen, civil rights to happen, gay rights to happen. All men are created equal- that's the liberal philosophy in a nutshell.

Don't confuse real conservatives and real republicans with RINO's....

RINO's and Progressives are the same - they're both authoritarian.

If it matters, it was conservatives/republicans that manifested the first Civil Rights act that democrats promptly shot down, and it was republicans and conservatives that backed womans suffrage and that was shot down.

Democrats of yesterday and some even today are blatantly racist fools that hate woman but only pander to woman and minority groups for their votes... They subscribe to the idea that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. That's why they divide us all, so they can choose which groups they want to outnumber the other groups, of course most "groups" today are special interest groups.

I would say that these ideas have been around for a long time but Lyndon Johnson perfected the formula..... The problem is that most "progressives" view this as progress but don't realize that all these people are being used just so some wanna b aristocrat can find his or her way into a seat of congress.

Cool story, bro. "Side with communists." You, sir, have positively no idea what the **** you're talking about.

But you can do a lot of things like call me an idiot or tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about but cannot elaborate as to why I may be.

You cant write a dissenting paragraph dissenting my assertions can you?

So who really doesn't know "what the **** they're talking about"

Would you like to have a debate in the debate thread?

Say so and I'm down.

Businesses buy businesses all the time...

Hell, half the time a business buys a business it's to rid competition and they just shut that business down and take their plant assets and inventory and distribute those goods into their own business.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Those who grow and then sell a business walk away very profitable.

Spoken like a true progressive that has no original ideas..... I suppose that "progressive handbook" would do no good for you in a debate.

BTW, do you know how to write more than one paragraph that doesn't include personal attacks? - I'm sure that would be rather of a feat for you.

Umm that's what the OP is about. Homosexuals being arrested for ANY reason in Russia. In protest of these laws Montreal will be flying the rainbow flag for the duration of the Olympics.

They're not being arrested for "ANY" reason.

That has got to be true, seeing how that Bush rode into town on a horse of a smaller government, yet oversaw the biggest post war government increase.

I wouldn't put them in jail (and if anyone tried I would be highly opposed)..

However, gays should know that their activities and their lifestyle offends A LOT of people and they should recognize that before they go about getting "frisky" in public - I only expect common curtsey or mutual respect from homosexuals...

And the truth is that many homosexuals completely agree, they know they're a minority or a fringe group of society and actually respect that.

Homosexual behavior displayed in public is on par with some nut walking down the street in a red shirt with swastika - it will offend people...


Personally I don't get offended very often (if ever), but I know there are plenty out there that do and homosexuals going out of their way to make a political point or who's aim is to just antagonize people is wrong, immature and childish.

It's one thing to be gay but it's an entirely different scenario when gay activists go out of their way to push the gay agenda or issue.

Christians are not FORCING their faith on you in any way shape or form.

Also, I don't agree with any religious fundamentalists or fundamentalists in general - the only "fundamentalists" I agree with and adhere to are the patriots.

Furthermore you don't have to be religious to be offended by homosexuality.....The simple fact the act is unnatural pisses some people off.

That's wrong Mr. Nick. It is natural, it's just not normal.

It's not natural and it's not normal...

Homosexuality is a psychological problem... Much like Body identification disorder, compulsive swallowing, OCD etc...

Homosexuality is just accepted because homosexuality (for the most part) is no threat to the homosexual or to the general public if the sex part is practiced safely...

Homosexuality is no more normal than Autism or Munchhausen Syndrome.

You ever see a "gay pride parade?"

It's the most disgusting anti-social event I have ever seen.

These clowns certainly flaunt their homosexuality...

I wouldn't really expect a progressive to really understand that considering that is considered "acceptable normal behavior" by many.

I didn't say it was normal, clearly heterosexual would be the norm. But it is indeed natural, scientifically, and to deny that one would have to be blinded by religious ideology.

I have a gay brother who has never participated in a gay parade, nor would he. Some people, gay or straight will do all manner of things repulsive to others.

NO, I'm not an evangelical...... Furthermore this has nothing to do with religion and what is socially acceptable.

You pro-gays love to blame Christianity for the alleged "bias or discrimination" against gays yet you turn a blinds eye to all other religions that forbid the action such as Islam...

It's obviously clear that you just don't like Christianity....

Yeah and those who do "repulsive" things in public are usually held accountable for their actions - it seems gays get a free pass.

Repulsive doesn't necessarily equate with illegal, or even wrong. Watching someone eat lobster is repulsive to me. Watching a drone missile strike a car and blow it up is repulsive to me.

Yeah well, a buddy of mines grandmother lives on the "gay pride" route and he told me his grandmother went to go take the trash out (before noon) and she saw two guys in the gangway one of which was shoving a bottle in the other mans ass...

That is repulsive and anti-social...

Then I have had my own experiences.... One time was trying to get to work but the gay pride parade caused a traffic jam and all these gay dudes started whipping out their dongs and rubbing them all over my car...

I call that type of behavior "repulsive" and nasty...

Of course if I got out of my car and punched one of them in the face I would be charged with a "hate crime" because in this progressive society anyone who rubs their **** and balls on another mans car should just tolerate it.

Lets also not forget these gay pride parade idiots get so wasted they puke everywhere and tear up peoples property and even screw on their lawns...

These clowns are anarchistic assholes.

I don't think you've seen me supportive of gay pride parades have you? I only took issue with your insistence that being gay is not natural. Or that because you declare something repulsive, everyone else agrees with you. Though with respect to the two guys in a gangway, that is just disrespectful for public display. My gay brother would tell you that.

Gay is not natural, but I suppose "repulsive" is a objective term depending on your environment...

That it exists in nature is precisely what makes it natural. That you don't like it notwithstanding. A four leaf clover is very abnormal, but its also very natural. This is not debatable Mr. Nick. I understand your angst however.
