I have never liked this guy, and now I find that he is -- or at least, was, fifteen years ago -- a fan of Atlas Shrugged!

    Wow. Just... wow. As a health care provider that has to deal with insurance companies, I tip my hat to him.

    No, you're right. I don't often agree with him, but I'll take a look at this link a little later.

    I didn't mean to say this twice. reply glitch. there is a chapter in a satire book written by Greg Gutfeld-I can't remember which book, where he discusses creepy looking/acting people end up doing creepy things so you might us well put them on a list now. if you google Gutfeld, "creepy" is an often used adjective for him. karma.

    I think this kid's parents are sick. But there's a pretty lengthy list of them already...so nothing new. IT'S DISGUSTING!!! Seeing this from the view of a parent..... it's bad.

    Damn right, especially the chicks in bikinis!

    Have you ever actually SEEN the video?

    Methinks Dr. Ablow is a sick, perverted man who has a little problem with sex... because whether you compulsively seek it, or compulsively avoid it -- and especially if you compulsively seek to force others to avoid it -- it's still an addiction.

    So... he wants to further broaden the already overly-broad definition of "sex offender" to include people who make a cute video of their kid. There's no nudity, no child porn, it's just a cute, somewhat-creepy video.

    If we're going to brand someone for life for being creepy and doing something that is in really bad taste, then it's not a giant step from there to branding EVERYONE for some real or imagined Fatal Flaw -- and at that point we are in a Police State where the population can be controlled at whim via their guilt and fear.

    Being a severely lax parent should not result in a life sentence.

    Yeah, pretty close.

    I try not to make fun of a PERSON who "is" something s/he can't help (such as mental retardation, for a good example). I know the scientific jury is still out on that re: homosexuality but the evidence is leaning pretty strongly these days.

    People who are intentionally stupid (i.e., Leftys) get no such respect from me!

    So in the case of the pictures -- yes, many lesbians aren't "pretty." I actually know one in my home town who is flat-out disfigured. I think they're painfully aware of that -- what woman wouldn't be? -- and it strikes me as horribly insensitive to call attention to it in public.

    Does that help? Thanks for asking.

    Please don't. There are good conversations on both. Duplicate posts are bound to happen once in a while? :)

    Two parents, who are obviously severely lax, among other things, is not "everyone". He was talking about ONLY them.

    So...just to be clear....the line is drawn right between Practice and Person... like this? Practice / Person. (Ex: The practice of smoking is disgusting...but the person who does the smoking...isn't. Am I getting warm?)

    She said some things about the PRACTICE of homosexuality. I don't have a problem with someone saying that this or that disgusts them. After all, smoking disgusts me.

    Has she ever made snide remarks about a PERSON who is gay or bi? That's where my line is drawn.

    Okay, deep-dive complete. It wasn't all that deep; I have other things to do today.

    Looks like he's a mixed bag. Which all of us are, on some level or other.

    The gay community hates him. But everything I saw from them was a gross misrepresentation of what he had actually said. Which is pretty common for the gay activists.

    I do disagree pretty strongly with much of what he has said, and I think those were the only things I had seen from him in the past.

    This is not the first time I've seen an idea that I really like from someone whom I despise. It's humbling. And good for us. Keeps our minds open, you know.

    Didn't Rand say some unsavory things about homosexuality in her early days. You must've forgiven her at some point.

    Yeah, reading H.P. Lovecraft is FUN -- but if you ever read THAT story, you'll have a serious squick about going anywhere near the sea for a while...
