  a lot of people are worrying about these uprisings, riots and violence being done----it seems everywhere.

  i've read how some feel that europe does not have the ability as a union to fight against this.

  is this like it was in germany prior to ww!!

  if china and/or russia side with the muslims, yes.

  otherwise, no, because the muslim world has no real military.

  ts, i'll give you a hint, gay unions don't cause homosexual behavior.

  i've said it before and i'll say it again. if people only realized how many married guys were out looking for men, they would realize heterosexual marriage doesn't prevent homosexual behavior.

  Nonconformity

  ugh, commonly people want everyone to be like them, ick.

  its a left over from our animal heritage.. humanness i think is defined by the ability to embrace difference, to learn about difference, to learn to love that which is different.. how do you change animals into humans?.

  provide them:.

  okay, thank you think, now back to the point. clearly there is a thin line that separates man from the animals. animalistic behavior is everywhere.

  you have to provide a safe place to dwell and an education to people to turn them into humans.

  christians are getting desperate. they can't convince people that there way is right so now they've gotten involved in politics to legislate their beliefs.

  what religion are you truthseeker.

  um, hell yeah, i enjoy the behavior. there is no lifestyle.

  i have no problem with you thinking its wrong, you aren't someone whose opinion will shape my values.

  i decide for myself what i think is right and wrong based on my own system of ethics or those who i respect.

  there is no god. the bible is garbage. those are my opinions. you are welcome to yours.

  i shouldn't be able to deny you civil rights because i think your beliefs make you a lunatic.

  you shouldn't be able to deny my civil rights because you think my sexual conduct makes me immoral.

  its easy, isn't it, i mean even a moron can understand this right?

  truthseeker, yeah, the world is for everyone, even gays.

  morals are a religious issue unless the conduct involves the harming of another individual or their property in some way.

  i think its immoral to smoke, therefore smokers should not marry.

  i think its immoral to take drugs, therefore drug users should not marry.

  i think its immoral to gamble, therefore gamblers should not marry.

  i think divorce is immoral, so divorced people should not be allowed to marry.

  i think cursing is immoral so people who curse should not be allowed to marry.

  i think overeating is immoral so overweight people should not be allowed to marry. (side note: you don't see many disfellowshippings for gluttony)

  so who decides whats moral.

  i got an idea, how about the individual deciding according to their own religious and spiritual conscience and thought. freedom of religion, its a brilliant idea. i wonder if we'll ever get there.

  sheesh
