Good morning, just wanted to say you made some excellent points on that blog about stereotypes. Hope you are having a good week. Enjoy your day!

Hey... just thought I'd reply directly here since, as you stated, the blog faded into the sunset...

the fBC is female birth control and mBC is male birth control. I can really go apesmurf on the issues regarding the limited and archaic mBC, (essentially limited to 'paper or plastic' - either way its a bag) but I'll save you the boredome! :)

Thanks for the carrying the civility with me! The topic is soooo emotional. I don't get why folks feel that throwing epithets, extremes, etc around will change the other side's point of view - especially considering most adults have thoughtfully decided their viewpoint and probably won't change! oh well. Anyhoo - Thanks!!!!

Trick or treat!

LOL...I hadn't even thought of Swift...Good observation. Now there was a writer!!! Have a good day.

"TBK: Those idiots do appear to be praying. TW: So praying is idiotic? You might get some of our resident atheists to agree, but not too many others."

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I said those idiots are praying. I didn't say those fine people are idiots because they are praying.

Let me help you out with basic reading comprehension:

"Those idiots" (the subject of the sentence)

"appear to be praying" (the action/verb of the sentence).

There is no cause and effect here. The idiots in the picture......... do appear to be praying. That they are praying is not what makes them idiots. They're just idiots. And they happen to be on their knees, as well, praying.

"Well, by some interpretations, it's only a ritual impurity, even under Mosaic Law. But you're dodging the question. Why do so many Christians rant about Leviticus on homosexuality, yet ignore all the other "abominations"?"

Actually, I didn't dodge the questions. My first post on this blog basically said only hypocrites pick and choose the sins they are concerned about.

"What's your take on "equal application fo the law"?"

The short answer is "I'm for it" - but that is an over simplification

"From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time." -- F. A. Hayek

And as far as "unbiased" goes, only people who believe in nothing are unbiased....

I hope you can decipher my poor typing...

"that marriage is not a right, when SCOTUS has ruled otherwise."

If marriage is a "right", why ios there a marriage license (i.e.premission) required. One could argue that the fact taht "gay marriage" is not legal or "permitted" as is traditional marriage is in fact an un-equal application of the law.

And for the SCOTUS decison the key opinion is this one:

"The Equal Protection Clause requires the consideration of whether the classifications drawn by any statute constitute an arbitrary and invidious discrimination."

Tha tdecision refers to marriage as parto fothe civil rights of man but it does not mean that marriage is a right like the life lineberty and pursuit of happiness" in an of itself.

Marriage is a legal contract we have a right to enter into - the SSM has not been allowed going to comment about "unequal application of the law" versus "violation of right to marry".
