Why do the right wingers, ultra conservatives, or whatever they like to call themselves hate homosexuals?

As Christians, aren't they supposed to Love Thy Neighbor, be tolerant of others, Do unto others, etc., etc., or do they just use certain lines in the Bible to justifiy their own bigotry, then forget the rest?

Or is there some logical reason why they are trying to deny the basic rights and happiness of other people?

as we all know Bush went into Iraq for the oil - not to get more of Iraq's oil, but to prevent Iraq producing too much of it, thus adding to the coiffers of Big Oil...less oil, lower the supply, the higher the price...Chi Ching$ for Bush, Cheney, and OPEC!
How about we all invest in electric cars to cut the ******* off?

My husband and i are both in the military. We work at the same dining facility. A civilian co-worker one day commented on how about how fine my husband was. My husband came and told me.
I went over to the person, and stated to her (because i wasnt sure if she knew we were married), "Do you know that Sgt. Noone and I are married?" She laughed and said no. Another co-worker who was standing there said, "We knew." Everyone laughed about it. That was Friday. On Monday, she went to the Mgr. and told him that i grabbed her up (in a threatning manner), and told her that Sgt. Noone and I were married. This is a lie, I did not put my hands on her. Is that slander? Can I sue? I will be recieving a negative counseling statement, which can result in UCMJ action.
Any anwers are appreciated!!

Do you agree with Bush's actions towards Iran or do you think he should be handling it differently?

"Illegals are doing the jobs that Ameriacans won't do" is this huge assumption! How will we ever know if there are MILLIONS of illegals here doing them. Let's put that assumption to the test, send all illegals home, now, and see if those jobs don't get done. Who wants to bet what they are trying to say is "Legals won't do the job illegals do for the pay that the illegals work for"? Big difference! Any arguments?

Libs, can you defend your policies, such as affirmative action?

Can you please tell me how discriminating against someone now, to make up for discrimination of the past is going to help create equality?

In 100 years, will my grandkids have an affirmative action to make up for the affirmative action of today?

If George's two spoiled daughters were to have been on the front lines of the conflict (almost certain death) don't you think ole Georgie would have found another way; i.e. convert means, negotiation, more time for weapons inspectors to finish,
diplomatic, United Nations, etc.

Mexicans always talk about pride, but it's a very strange type. Mexicans want to fight if you bump into them in a bar, but their whole country goes down the toilet and they just shrug their shoulders and say nothing can be done. Real machismo would be to fight to improve their country, not just give up on it and skulk away.

In the past few weeks or so I've noticed many comparing the President of the U.S.A. to an ape and or other animals. Those of us who read and understand history knows this sends an eiree feeling from a dark past of evil. My first thoughts were when Hitler & the Nazi's did the same things with Jews & rats to an ready audience in Germany..and when the Southern Democrats showed pictures of Abraham Lincoln next to apes. The Nazi's and the Pro-Slave groups seem to have simular tactics as the Bush haters have.

Your thought's please...am I correct?

Obviously Al-Qaeda was a group created to fight Israel and the nations of the West, especially the US, through whatever terrible means neccesary. But why does Bin Laden twist Islamic laws and the content of the Qur'an in order to attack the US. Islam actually condemns most of his actions. Why is it still necessary for him to carry out these attacks, and why did his hatred of America reach the level it is at today? What could we have done to create his anti-American views, and are we still acting in that way? If the US stopped these actions would it make any difference in the way he acted toward America. Wondering what people have to say and why they feel that way.

This is more of a statement than a question. I saw and heard on the news about the two soldiers that were mutilated and murdered by Iraqis. It makes me mad because I feel it was unneccesary for us to be there. This all started with a lie from Bush about weapons of mass destruction when there was none. Why did'nt he use this type of force when Osama Bin Laden blew up the towers? Again, this is my opinion. Please give me yours.
