Please don't forget about F&F. It seems to have gotten lost with these other scandals.

In answer to Wandered...absolutely not. There are avenues of redress in place for just that type of discrimination. Just as if I am a conservative commander and I have a flaming liberal as a subordinate, I am not allowed to use that as part of my evaluation criteria (nor race, or religion or...). And if i was going to give someone a bad rating, I'd better have substantial documentation and quantitative evidence to support that rating or my Senior Rater and Reviewer will eat my lunch.

I think they hang on to Tamara because she is the only lib they could find that was half-way decent looking when compared to the conservatives females she would be required to debate. With that said, I wouldn't touch her with someone elses. That attitude is enough to turn any male off.

Also in the 50's we didn't have free birth control in Jr & Sr high schools, sex education from 5yrs and up, condoms out the yin-yang everywhere, and a lack of morals as a nation. No excuse now for even getting preganant in 99% of the cases other than laziness and knowing that you can always use abortion as a form of birth control after the fact.

Thou shall not kill, steal, treat others as you want to be treated, etc..." Hmmm! Busting my head here trying to think of Philosophers and thinkers that were present before Moses was given the 10 Commandments. And please state examples of that horrible track record that Christains as a whole have towards human rights. Then I'll compare that to all other civilizations and ideologies and see who really has that horrible track record. Christains have faults like everyone else. Don't stereotype and judge all on a few.

Ever notice how most of the laws passed are done so in a way that leads to massive litigation in the public and private sectors of the economies. Maybe that is a reason lawyers should never have been allowed to serve in congress. They should only be advisors to congress.

Opps that 2000 yrs not 200.

Hey dumba$$, you should read that link you gave.. Christians never recognized same sex "marriage" of Sergius and Bacchus and never called it marriage you idiot. Their relationship was tolerated by the church. You have yet to rpove my claim false. One instance in 200 years does not a redefine what a marraige is. As I said before, "arrogance disguised as intelligence is most unbecoming."

"there is no basis for any state to restrict contractual rights to any other requirement than "consenting" and "adult."" Except when what the adults are consenting to is against the law or in the abasement to the society they reside in or when it puts the public at large at risk or when their contractual agreement affects the community in an adverse manner, or when the community has to pay for the results of their actions...

"People get to use words how they want." That is the most illogical statement on this post today. Where did I say I owned the word? I merely said the word is well defined as... quit trying to deflect by name calling. If you can't argue the meaning then S T F U.
