sozo, most of us do not eat most raw meat because it is harmful. However, when prepared properly and from the right cut, steak tartare is delicious and healthy.

There is no “human right” to eat raw meat like there is with marriage, and gay marriage has never been shown to be harmful. Its only in your head that you have decided you don’t like it and no one else can like it either by the force of law.

There are many people, yourself included, that would deny others a basic human right, a right to pursue their own happiness and meaning in life, for no other reason than so you can impose your religious views on them, even if they do not agree. “Tyrrany” is the word for it.

Thanks bB. I notice someone else is using “sozo” — posting on another thread. I may have to change my moniker, though I have chosen to visit this site only on a very slow morning in the last several months, so I may not bother. It seems to have very little value in terms of intelligent, meaningful exchange. Reading it this morning has been rather depressing. It’s kind of like going to the school yard to watch kids through rocks at each other. We’ll see.

Can you give me an example of what you said above? If you mean that some think homosexuality is “unnatural” I see what you mean, except that the “real” conservative Christian argument there is not what occurs in nature as much as what God intended regarding males and females in relationship. Clearly it was God’s intention that mankind operate on a moral plane that is not required of the rest of nature.

If the issue of homosexuality is going to be argued on the basis of “natural”, it would be intellectually dishonest to ignore homosexuality in other species.

Could it be that the socially conservatives really don’t have an intellectually honest argument for the issue and are just hiding behind the term “natural”?

“the3rdpigshouse says:
Aug. 20, 2012 at 3:36 pm LePHil – tell me if Johnny or Frank is to be artificially inseminated???!! I think everyone would be interested in that family creation!”

Since “Frankie” and “Johnny” are both names that have been given to women, I sould suppose that either could be artificially inseminated.

What is your real interest in this? Your comments read like the guy who call Stephanie Miller’s show yesterday to say that “you girls like that stuff”, when the subject was “non-voluntary inter-vaginal probes”.

Why would the subject even be up for discussion in school? I went to school for many years and don’t remember a single lesson plan that touched on who lives at which kid’s house. Between divorces, deaths, fathers who have simply vanished, moms who move a new guy in every week, etc. the LAST thing any teacher is going to do is open up that can of worms on purpose.

what is “sychophantic”? a spoonerism linking psycho with sycophant?

“homosexuality is found” — I always love this turn of phrase. Lots of things are “found” in nature that we do not, as humans, embrace or condone. For instance, we do not devour our young , nor do we kill the male after he has donated his sperm as some spiders do. Most of us don’t eat raw meat. Since when do we look to nature to define what is right and good for humanity?

Nancy, time to let go of the hate and fear and take a trip somewhere where you don’t speak the language and everyone looks different, it will be very therapeutic for you.

3rdpig – stop using the words Marxist and socialist, because you have no idea what they mean. You obviously rode to school on a short school bus if you believe that the clown for the republicon party is any form of a patriot. Turn off fox boobs, it is making you stupid.
