It's not illegal, it is between consenting adults, it does not necessarily mean that one partner has sex with someone elses, it does not involve children (EVER) and I would just like to know what is wrong with it?

Why do people on here, who no nothing about it, comment on it and make underhand remarks about people who choose to swing.

Brothels & gays have been swinging since time began. Swinging is no different to watching a porn movie or going to a peep show in London...

Maybe then, not getting the attention (negative or positive, it matters not to them) the attention seekers will crawl off & let YA return to the debating forum it was meant to be.

Nobel prize is one method of the illuminati to attract attention to those who support their agenda of global control. Then you have the oscar and amy awards, the most influential intellectuals awards, the times awards, the man of the year, the wall street journal awards and so on.

The Illuminati think they can fool people and all the time.

If we found Saddam, then why can't we find Bin Laden? When Afghanistan is much smaller country.

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" said Adolf Hitler, before ordering storm troopers to kill men, women and children in Poland so Germany could have Lebensraum, or living space.
Darfur cases keep repeating.
Why deny this?

On Oct. 5, a pre-dawn U.S. raid on Khalis, a Shiite city north of Baghdad, killed 25 people when U.S. troops called in airstrikes after meeting a fierce barrage while hunting suspected smugglers of arms from Iran to Baghdad. Village leaders said the victims included civilians, but the military insisted the 25 killed were militants.

What percentage of innocent deaths is acceptable in order to create democracy?

All of the Main Stream Media are ignoring the message Congressman Ron Paul from Texas is spreading. It is clear, once people hear his message via the activism of those already informed, that Dr. Paul's message of freedom and peace is what the people want. Therefore, as the MSM ignores his message, are they exposing themselves to the penalty of treason?

I realize the 1st Amendment exists as an escape clause for the MSM, but the fact remains, the MSM are the only ones who are ABLE to exercise the 1st Amendment. They have CHOKED any message that does not serve a neoconservative agenda.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to me that since the MSM is VIOLATING OUR ABILITY TO EXERCISE OUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, that they should face charges of, and suffer the penalty prescribed for, TREASON once Ron Paul is elected President.

What are your thoughts?

I was watching that I love New York show on VH1 (yes I am embarrased) and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a little man (dwarf) on it trying to get New York to pick him, and her mom acted like a complete bigot towards him and said that she would never allow her daughter to be with him. Later, she said something like " I am sorry but that's my first reaction, and I have to go with it".

In my opinion, New York's mom sounded just like any racist would when criticizing her because of the color of her skin. The only difference is that VH1 would have the decency to not have a main character in a show be a racist, yet it is OK for one to discriminate against a guy because he happened to be short.

Why is it still OK to be an outright bigot to someone simply because they are short? Why do tv shows and movies still think its perfectly acceptable to exploit and make fun of small people who are born the way they are just like someone of any skin color?

I think she will run on a more centrist platform to get elected. She will refuse to say what her policy would be about our continued presence in Iraq. If she becomes President, she will surround herself with people on the far left. The Iranians will see this as an opportunity to further their religious agenda of the hastening the coming of the 11th Mullah. They will silence their anti American and anti Israel rhetoric and the voices of moderation will begin to speak in Iran. They will invite Mrs. Clinton to negoitiate a comprehensive peace in the Middle East. She will send her husband and Bill Richardson to negoitiate with the Iranians. They will arrive in Tehran to a tulmultous and pro American welcome. They will negoitiate an agreement with Iran. As a result she will completely withdraw from Iraq. After the troops are all out the Iranians will accuse us of violeting the peace accord and attack and occupy Iraq. Ultimately this will lead to nuclear war with Israel and Iran.

With Bush baby's veto of Chip we now are the only civilized country on the planet where millions of children cannot get medical treatment because they cannot afford it. Every true blooded Republican must feel very proud. The cretin army brings home another glorious victory. .

Why is the US Congress debating a resolution about whether or not the killing of Armenians in turkey during WWI was genocide?

Why does it matter? It's not like the U.S. is going to do anything about it now because the U.S. needs Turkey.

Or am I misunderstanding the situation? Maybe it's NATO or the UN? I don't think so ... I think it's just the U.S.

I posted a question regarding this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071011/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq&printer=1;_ylt=Ai5UDa6dwy4ftmAy8brHJPUUewgF

Specifically, I asked if there is a formula of some kind being used by the US military that somehow justifies a certain number of dead Iraqi civilians given the number of suspected terrorists that are killed. This is a legitimate question, has nothing to do with national security, and is highly relevant to the current events taking place such as the killing of 9 Iraqi children during a recent US military attack. Yahoo is censoring questions that challenge the humanitarian aspect of the continuing war in Iraq? WHY????? What's going on here?

Polish police evicted several dozen black-clad nuns from a convent in Poland they had occupied for more than 2 years in defiance of a Vatican order.

Armed police officers jumped over the fence guarding the convent because the nuns barred the gate & locked themselves inside the building where they held hands & sang religious songs, police videotapes showed. The police did not use force.
"It is a sad case for the (Catholic) church and for those who disobeyed the church and ended in such a situation," Warsaw Archbishop Kazimierz Nycz told PAP news agency.

He said the nuns could come back to the Catholic community if they repented and obeyed the rules.

The 64 sisters of the Family of Bethany rebelled against their order when the Vatican decided to replace their mother superior, who had said she had visions and was in direct contact with God.
The nuns have defied an eviction order for two years and had to get by without electricity and water since April when they were cut off by the authorities. They survived thanks to local sympathisers who brought them food and supplies.

The deposed mother superior and an ex-Franciscan friar who had accompanied the nuns were arrested by the police in connection with the occupation.
