Young people of this era will experience the bitterness of being the first generation to have declining living standards.

Living standards have been declining since the 80's.

"Radical Conservative"??? Please explain this. It looks like an oxymoron. In my experience "Conservative" is synonymous with "reactionary". I would be very pleased to discover some new approach to understanding that I wasn't aware of.

this is just COMMON SENSE at its basic finest point

unfortunately many people (including representatives and senators) dont have the ability to see this logic through their own bias :/
 
Though I disagree with their lifestyle, let them be blown apart for us.

We'll have to see how the military is affected by it.

Should our military copy Britain's military and its forcing soldiers to play homosexual, I could imagine a massive backlash.

Dude, you are just confusing me on multiple threads. What?

A pony and a new car would be swell, but I'll settle for an explanation of what you mean by the UK forcing its soldiers to "play homosexuals."
 
Yay for the Pink Parachute Brigade!!

Oh man the opinion section of the Fox website is going crazy. It is pretty funny. In fact this is my favorite comment thus far

Every little boy who has ever been molested by a man, was molested by a gay man.

Here are some of my favorites:

The Democrat Party is so done.....I mean toast. These guys will never get reelected except in the bluest of the blue States. This is the end of the Democrats.

Seriously homosexuals are all a bunch of wussys and will never make it past the first week of basic training.

Homosexuals are dirtbags


........ Some of the comments are so ridiculous it's funny. I lol'ed. Should I feel bad for laughing? :shrug:

"Homosexuals are dirtbags".. that just sounds like something Peter Griffin would say :lamo

It does make me thankful the conservatives on DP are among the more intelligent. Some of them. :mrgreen:
 
Bigotry is a dying breed in America. Gay marriage isn't far off.

America has sent a message today to the bigots of this country that they will not be tolerated.

I love that hypocritical attitude. "We're so tolerant for everyone. Unless you disagree, then you're a hateful bigot and we won't tolerate you."

True tolerance requires you to tolerate beliefs and cultures even if you don't think they're right.

I don't care about enforcing tolerance.. I care about freedom, rights, and liberties..

"Actually, it is. Tolerance means you don't tolerate intolerance. Just like Love means you don't love hatred."

Please, don't make ridiculous comments. You know exactly what I meant.

But on the off chance that you're retarded I will explain myself further. For instance, I believe that homosexuality is immoral and wrong. I also have gay neighbors. But I have never broached the topic of homosexuality to them, told them that they are going to go to hell for their lifestyle, or things like that. Whenever I deal with with them or speak with them, I am polite and courteous.

That is tolerance.

Obviously that definition needs to be amended by defining tolerance as tolerating other people's beliefs, attitudes, lifestyles, etc. that don't affect other people's abilities to enjoy their own. Tolerance as you're arguing it is by definition impossible. Tolerance also implies you not having to agree with someone to let them do their thing, and it's foolish to include people who hurt/damage others in that.

It's not a ridiculous comment. It's a valid rebuttal to moral relativism, which has been used to excuse far too many crimes.
 
We shall see what happens to our military now...I sadly predict it won't be a pretty picture if gays flaunt their sexuality like I expect and like they do in the so called gay pride parades.......A lot of gays will get beat up for checking out straights innocent or not.........On the beach gays that sit together, hold hands and kiss are very much endangered...........I am just glad to see I am not on active duty any more to see this...........Our military can never be defeated on the battlefield but they can from within...........I hope I am wrong but sadly I know Iam right.........As soon as the flaunting starts the incidents will start destrying morale and unit cohesion.........Stay tuned.........
