This is getting more pathetic everyday. Where is my country?! And you thought Sesame Street was going nuts.

    Nobody is ignoring you. I don’t rush to answers to loaded questions. I don’t have a simple answer for you. I know that people instantly lash out what they deem is inferior when they feel threaten. Homosexual has mostly been viewed in our history as taboo, so their community has been targeted through the decades. “Stay in the closet” is a threat, and they stayed in the closet out of fear. Where did we learn to feel that way if we didn’t learn it from society?

    Actually, the argument started with you not happy with me for congratulating a gay couple on their engagement announcement. First, you began with a comparison to communism, then it went downhill from there. I shouldn’t attack your faith. You just made it so easy, and I am an opportunist.

    My first time on Galt's Gulch, and the first message, the top of the list, is about homosexuals.

    When I was very young, homosexuals were put in jail for sodomy. Today I can't seem to get away from them pushing their lifestyle in my face -- even here!

    I'm sure I will be denounced as some biased, hate-filled bigot by people who don't have a clue about me or my feelings, but really, can we let bedroom issues stay in the bedroom?

    the only conclusion I will make is MOST child molesters are NOT homosexual-unless you can bring in stats to prove that child molesters molesters molest indiscriminately. even so, from the numbers you can deduce that most pedophiles are heterosexual. really, I just want to call them monsters. can we use that term instead? remember- it was some crazy article about how the schools were creating a separate bathroom for those who were transgender in Sweden or Norway. can't remember exactly-it was a post in here. we had lots of fun with it

    well that statement is also incorrect according to my stats on child molestation. 90% of molesters are male. the ratio of molested children is 2:1 GIRLS.
    I do not know about your last comments. It seems weird that Sweden an Iceland are pushing androgyny in their culture. remember that article about the school locker rooms?

    unfortunately, not surprising news. Clearly he was a predator. however, I said that the stats appear murky. First of all, in cases of child molestation, the overwhelming statistics are these. 90% of molestations are preformed by men. and, the number of girls violated compared to boys is a ratio of 2 to 1. Looking at just these, one could generalize that female homosexuals are not child molesters. That takes the sail out of your argument. Among males, there appears to be a disproportionate number of homosexual pedophiles. The stats on the number of men identifying as homosexual is roughly 2% of the overall population. This is where I feel stats breakdown. The actual percentage is higher. They are working off data where a person voluntarily is identifying with homosexuality. Not only would I suspect homosexual pedophiles to not share their sexual orientation, I will bet alot of homosexuals who are NOT pedophiles are not sharing their sexual orientation in surveys. so until that stat gets "cleaned up" we won't really know conclusively. I saw some articles, but they were all biased to one side or the other-you can just tell when reading the abstracts. Some of them would include surveys where homosexuals were asked if they had sex with a minor and they broke down those stats, without qualifying that the respondent was an adult when that happened. How many people do you know had sex before they were 18? maybe even 16? or 14? so that was murky too.Certainly, cases like Jackson and the catholic church are very visible. Ultimately, pedophiles are predators and their acts are of violence. Monsters!
    Homosexuality, although not the norm, is not violent or predatory by definition.

    that is just not accurate DK. perhaps you need to immerse yourself for two months so you can understand the culture ;)

    Sometimes their both masculine, sometimes their both feminine, sometimes their both androgynous. And again, regardless of appearance, or roles, it's irrelevant. I don't examine others' relationships that closely...gay or straight. I do know that some of my friend's husbands do ALL the cooking and some do most of the cleaning...shall we dissect the hell out of those factors....just for fun's sake? :)

    "If Oprah decided that Paula was a racist..." This is not for Oprah to "decide". If she's going to go judging Paula I hope she judges herself first.

    Mimi says that Oprah 'discovered' Paula, and is responsible for her success.

    If true...and Oprah decided that Paula was racist...then some of what follows makes sense.

    But (big 'but'): I haven't seen anything confirming their connection or relationship, and Mimi promised to back this up with links.

    As for now, the story takes a back-burner....

    Hadn't heard or thought of that, but might not be far off. She has proven to be a villain to America so why not Paula Deen too?
