A major roadblock in gays and lesbians getting the right to marry is the implication that they'll be granted full rights to raise children, but a great deal of people who are against gay marraige (who are wise enough to exclude religious implications, since no one cares about what God thinks anymore these days) are afraid that gays who raise children will raise them homosexual.

Has anyone yet thought of conducting an experiment where exceptionally young foster children are given into custody of gay, lesbian, and straight parents and their behavior and development is carefully monitored over the course of their lives? It's already upsetting to enough people that gays come out of straight homes, but don't we need to carefully study which household brings about which sexuality? If the results of the experiment follow no recognizable pattern, then it would be proven that sexuality of the children is NOT a result of the sexuality of the parents, and gays could be allowed to have kids.

I currently feel as tho I outgrew my only sources of pleasure. The thing is that I outgrew them all in a short timespan. I mean I had been doing these things for about 7 years, Playing Yugioh!, and Playing Video games, these were the two things that my life literally revolved around, and now that I don't find pleasure in them i dont know what to do.

You see, in my Sociology class today we were discussing volunteering and things of that nature and then the topic came up about how most people never do stuff for others unless it can benefit them in some way. This applies to celebrities and everyone else really. Celebrities seldom donate lots of money to the needy unless they'll get publicity for it. In general people don't want to do stuff unless it helps them in the long run. When "Extreme Makeover: House Edition" comes to town hundreds of people rush to go volunteer to build the house but this doesn't happen unless there is a tv crew present. Even this site proves my point that people need rewards to do stuff for others. Would you answer other people's questions if it wasn't for the points? Of course there are exceptions but most people are selfish. Why do you think this is?

I heard this one quote once and I think it's a good one to live by: "You haven't lived until you do something for someone who can never repay you.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the first death by anthrax that took place after 9/11.

Bob Stevens who worked for a tabloid in Boca Raton Florida was killed by weapons-grade, finely milled anthrax of high purity. The FBI said at the time that only highly placed people in the U.S. Government would have had access to the spores. They accused Steven Hatfill of the crime, and the news dweebs crucified him in the papers and on TV. Only problem was that Steven Hatfill was innocent, and unwilling to be the quick fix which would have prevented embarassing alternatives being investigated. There has been no progress in the case since. Hatfill is preparing a lawsuit against the Government. Odds makers in Las Vegas are currently giving 1.5 to 1 odds that he will die before the suit can be completed. What do you think?

Why are so many whites so hypocritical, saying they support equality and love minorities, yet they move away when minorities start moving into the neighborhood?

Why can't they just be honest like me and admit that they don't want to live near minorities?

Also why legally can landlords not select their tenants on the basis of race? If certain ethnic groups are more predisposed toward crime, would the landlord be wise to rent to those who are less likely to turn their building into a drug house?

How much farther are whites going to flee until they start standing up for themselves and saying enough is enough? Do they not realize the minorities are going to follow them everywhere because they are incapable of creating good neighborhoods on their own?
