No kidding, Buttless just passed judgement on nearly everyone on the planet.

My dog blows himself any chance he gets. (when we aren't looking - he likes to hide in his crate to do it mostly). I imagine he does it because he enjoys it.

It doesn't matter Buttless, although I'm reasonably confident that I understand what 'rights' are I don't even know what the phrase 'gay rights' actually means.

The thing that pisses me off the most about the state of gay discrimination in this country is that the government makes laws forbidding gays to marry each other. To our government, marriage is, pure and simple, a contractual agreement. It is not a moral situation to be legislated against (as compared to, say, murder) because it doesn't harm anyone else. IMHO, the only possible objections against gay marriage are based upon religious strictures. Since our government is constitutionally separate from churches, where does it get off restricting a contractual agreement between consenting adults based on religious proscriptions? Is this not the very essence of unconstitutionality? Every other pair of consenting adults can enter into any other contractual agreement as long as they are of the age of majority...but not gays?

Isn't it true that siblings aren't allowed to marry either, even if they can't have offspring?

Removing barriers to gay people exercising their rights.

So, just 'rights' then.

Rights that everyone should be able to exercise, but gays can't. So hopefully, it will mean less and less as time goes on.

No species has been found in which homosexual behaviour has not been shown to exist, with the exception of species that never have sex at all, such as sea urchins and aphis.

Now I'm beginning to understand the origin of that commonly-heard expression "Christ was as gay as a sea urchin."

Homosexuals. They're the ones being hit.

Good point. Homosexuals don't deserve that. Nobody does.
