You miss the point on this one... A Christian has lost his right when he must do what the government demands him to do for the sake of others. The Government is not telling the Gay (or a Muslim in the other case) to go where they would be welcome. No. It is the Christian that has to submit his rights. The Government should not even be involved. The gay should go to where he knows that he will get the serve that he expects. To go where he knows that he will be rejected is throwing his right in the face of others.

Submit? That's an odd way of putting it. Do you feel you are submitting and losing your own identity because someone has a freedom like you do? It's almost impossible to debate any issue on homosexuals on this website. You are all old and unchangeable and will eventually die. Homosexuals have been around since the documenting of our societies. Guess what? Homosexuals got equal rights today and the world didn't end. Now if we could just do something about the corporate greed, racism, terrorism, white collar crime, government infighting and spending, ISIS, extremist groups, poverty, wars, holy wars, murder, guns, massacres, hunger, Ebola, climate change, extinction of animals, rape, torture and beheading, we could do some good. But it's the gays that are ruining this country, right? Marriage between two people that love each other is ruining our society. Take a good look around and you will see what's ruing us and it's not gay people.

Unfortunately, the government is already interfering with religious values. There is a Christian Marriage Chapel refusing to conduct homosexual marriages and have now come under scrutiny of the government and the IRS with threats. The only option for this enterprise is to change their tax status.
So much for a "Government, of the people, by the people and for the people"! Our personal freedoms are vanishing daily thanks to our overbearing and bloated Federal Government.
How is your freedom vanishing when they are allowing gays to marriage? I don't see anything being "lost". It is just expanding theirs to be equal to yours. Would you like it if a "Christian Marriage Chapel" refused to marry you and your wife because they didn't like your ethnic background? You would just go to another chapel that would. There is no "loss" of freedom when you expand the rights of other Americans. ANd you are not REALLY comparing muslim extremists to gays, are you?

You do indeed state the obvious. I would take it to the next level, and make abortion mandatory for any woman receiving welfare. Doing this could hopefully reduce the cycle of dependency prevalent in the country, and another positive would be reducing the propagation of low information democrat voters.
And who should pay for all these abortions? C'mon, another "freebie" to the welfare recipients. They can go out and have all the sex they want without repercussions. That will be a lesson well learned.
Keep preaching the "Hate" all you good loving Christians. Fine example.

Michele loves the gays, obviously.

It's a double standard. Sex with a minor is wrong. This young man had sex with this woman on several occasions and now wants to sue; bollocks

As far as your analogy we all know sexual energy of a teenage boy and girl are very different. Men and women's sexual peaks happen at different stages in their lives.
Teenage girls more emotional, boys all you have to do is look it.
Now in the long run as I see it, from this point on this boy may from this point on may be attracted only to women older than he. Even if slightly older.
Bit is that necessarily a bad thing in the long run?

Boys may reach their sexual peak earlier, but women mature faster (physically). No matter how you try and explain it, morally it is wrong. Let kids be kids until they have to grow up. Wish I could have a "do over".
Talent? She has talent? She was born into an acting family. She got her start in movies because her director dad was chatting with Spielberg at a movie premier and Spielberg thought she would be good as Wendy in Hook. My favorite movie is Se7en because it ends with her head in a box. She couldn't act her way out of that box.
So it's "hot" when a young man gets taken advantage of by his teacher. Every guys dream, huh? But when a man takes advantage of a poor defenseless underage female (who has a crush on him) it's perverted?
It's called marketing. Coupons have always been used to lure in customers. No one ever has to PROVE the character behind the coupon to use it. And to get a percentage off your meal to pray in public? I know a few cheap atheist's that would do it in a heartbeat.

Do you know anyone with a Cat suffering from symptoms of depression or are prone to severe risk taking ? They may be signs of Toxoplasmosis.
How can I tell if a cat is depressed, let alone know if it's been taking risks? And when have you known cats not to take risks? I'm confused.
Looks like we ARE back in the wild wild west.

Artz, my intention on using the term "Boy" was not intended to degrade nor demean you. If it did please accept my apology.
You don't have to apologize. You used a word. This isn't "Good Times' and boy isn't a "white racist word". It's a word period. So freaking tired of all the politically correct morons. Everyone is discussing the Gaza Strip and he comes up with abortion. Talk about hijacking a thread. Tell the "boy" to start his own.

I have a really close friend that moved from Chicago over to Valpairaso,Ind
He seems to think its a great improvement..He aint to happy that his 3 daughters all live back in CHicago, though..
Valpo is a very nice area and quite removed from both Chicago and Gary Indiana. Probably why the crime rate is so low. Nothing for the gang bangers to do.

That is exactly what my plans are. I love this city but the violence has gotten out of hand. No one is safe anymore. Time to find a peaceful place where crime isn't the norm.
