I didn't know this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teabagging -- !OP \_ You know, I think Jesus would hate most American "Christians". \_ There is one other small problem with Edelman's efforts. His very first reference in the paper is built on a source long known to be completely false. On the second page of the report on his study published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Vol 23, #1, Winter 2009), Edelman relies on the claims of porn industry trade publication AVN Media Network that says the online porn industry made $2.8 billion dollars in 2006. AVN also claims that the entire porn industry pulled in nearly $13 billion in 2006. However, it has long been known that the numbers presented by AVN are in no way verifiable. Forbes Magazine took AVN.s claims to task back in 2001 (after one of AVN's earlier reports of porn industry takings) and found the numbers impossible to verify. In 2001 Forbes reckoned that the industry could not have made more than $4 billion, a number far less than the $10 billion AVN was then claiming. A 2007 Boing, Boing article also discussed the unverifiable AVN numbers. \_ What does that have to do with his original research using credit card data? \_ Give Conservatives a break.

11/11 So if the LDS church bankrolled the Yes on 8 campaign, how the f can
they keep their tax-exempt status?
\_ Because LDS is a religion and gayness isn't?
\_ Because they didn't endorse a candidate from the pulpit.
\_ Way to go, useless distinctions!
\_ *shrug* That's the way the law works. Now, if you really
want to get their funding cancelled or cost them a lot of
money, get an openly gay friend to apply for a job with the
\_ job? in church? ha ha ha
Church; when they turn him or her down, sue for
discrimination.
\_ Are you still banging Good But So Very Bad Mormon Mom?
\_ Or the gay people could start a gay religion and get
tax exempt status! How about that!
\_ The difficulty here is that the Mormons have a world-
wide congregation and a mandatory tithing system; it's
really difficult to compete, monetarily, with this.
Bogging them down in repetitive lawsuits is an easier
way to drain their resources.
\_ AFAIK the LDS church didn't bankroll it, members did. See the
difference?
\_ Technically there is a difference, but it's a useless
distinction.
\_ Someone donates to and serves at the salvation army, and also
donates to the yes on 8 campaign, therefore the SA should lose
it's tax-exempt status? Riiiiight....
\_ Is this really true? If so, this *is* a huge difference. It
means that the MSM has been kind of slandering the Mormon
Church as well.
\_ Well, yeah. You have to read the whole article, it's always
relegated to the end.
\_ Wait, what article?
\_ Yeah, what article?
\_ Not one in particular, I've read 4 or 5 newspaper
articles on the subject. This has been true for all
of them. That's all.
\_ Which is political speech?
"God hates fags"
"Vote Yes on 8"
The answer to your question determines whether a religious entity is
tax-exempt or not
\_ Sadly it was probably Mexican Americans, Black People, Catholics,
Mormons, and people who think Gays Are Here To Gay Up Your Kids
that voted for Prop 8. It's hard to declare political war on
such a huge voting block.
\_ The LDS church wasn't just a voting block, they were the main
funding source (around 80%) for the Yes on 8 campaign.
\_ Isn't it that the LDS (or anyone that opposes gay marriage) would
lose their tax-exempt status only if 8 didn't pass?
\_ No, but the ads certainly implied that. |

released. Where'd that investment go?
\_ By the terms of emancipation, they could not own the
slaves to begin with. There was no more investment
here than there would be in purchasing uncontained

slaves (i.e., that slavery would be abolished)

IT'S WHAT PLANTS NEED! \_ http://yourmorals.org I thought I was a liberal but it turns out that I'm a moderate. On the 5 foundations (harm, fairness, loyalty, authority, purity), I am consistently in between. \_ This is an interesting test. I line up very strongly with liberals on fairness, purity and authority scores, but I have high loyalty and less concern for harm (like a conservative). I always have prefered the moniker "armed liberal" to describe myself, though, so this fits. \_ "Whether or not someone violated standards of purity and decency." How the hell do you answer a question like that without knowing what the standards of purity and decency are? \_ How *do* you answer it? Don't you think there is a standard? If not, you are probably a liberal. \_ Right, because only conservatives are decent. \_ A conservative certainly wouldn't have to ask what the standards of purity and decency are, would they? \_ Yep, they'd believe in the wrong answer already. c.f. torture. \_ If this is somehow part of your definition of conservative v. liberal, your definition needs some serious re-evaluation. \_ No, it is you who needs to do some serious self- examination. Conservatives have a legitimate reason to bash liberals for "moral relativism" and the sooner you understand why, the more you will understand about the debate. And I am a liberal, by the way, but at least I have bothered to take the time to understand what Conservative positions are grounded in. \_ So there's no moral relativism to being gung-ho about torture? There's no moral relavtivism to to treating terrorists differently if they are white and christian? You are confusing recationary xenophobia with something else. \_ Are these serious questions or are you just being rhetorical here, it is hard to tell. I see nothing in The Bible that prohibits torture, in fact there are parts that seem to indicate it is permissible. Your claim that conservatism is xenophobic precisely misses the point. \_ What does The Bible have to do with it? Torture being ok for brown and/or poor people but not for good decent folks is a fine example of having relative morals. Or do you think the republican party is going to start putting people in "stress positions" until they start talking about insider trading? \_ Don't confuse "the republican party" with conservatism. I know more than one evangelical in my family would have no problem with giving the FNM execs a serious beating. And other Wall Street types. I don't think their point of view is unusual. \_ The new testament is pretty seriously against torture.

And the New Testament references don't imply that it's OK for people to torture other people. -tom \_ This asinine insistence that "conservatives" have some sort of monopoly on moral certitude has no basis in reality. Some liberals have similarly inflexible morals ("All corporations are evil." "Profits are immoral." "Israel's actions in the occupied territories are war crimes." "The military should be abolished.") "Moral relativism" is a bullshit charge leveled against people who don't share your particularly restrictive morality while deliberately ignoring whatever moral code they might actually have. (Cf. Rick Santorum's assertion that legalizing homosexual marriage will lead to legalization of bestiality and pederasty.) If the question is "whether or not someone violated" MY "standards of purity and decency," then yes, that would be particularly important to me. If the question is "whether or not someone violated" Fred Phelps' "standards of purity and decency," I really couldn't give a fuck. \_ I have all the right to sodomize you as long as I have the power to do so. Yes! \_ See now, if that had been the question, there would have been no ambiguity. \_ Let's see what is the dictionary defintion of the word "liberal": # Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. # Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. It is not my fault that you have decided that the word "liberal" means something different than what it means to the rest of the English speaking population. The fact that "some (self-identified) liberals" do not fit the definition doesn't mean you get to twist it to suit your own personal agenda. Good luck on your newspeak efforts though. agenda. Good luck on your Newspeak efforts though. Do I really need to pull up the dictionary definition of conservative to make my point? \_ Nothing in those definitions implies moral relativism. It just implies having an open mind. Having strong ethics and morals does not mean someone is closeminded or a bigot. I don't think newspeak means what you think it does. \_ Yes, please. And while you're at it, discuss why the Right Wing Conspiracy continues to belittle people with fixed but opposing views as "liberal." *I* didn't decide on this definition or culture-war distinction; I prefer the word "progressive." |

\_ I'm not a fan of cheering death, but I'm
willing to make an exception for someone
as dispicable as Jesse Helms. It is at
times like this when I wished I believed in
hell.
\_ Yay, you rejoice in someone's death because
of their different opinion!
\_ No, Helms was a monster. Do you think
we should be respectful of Saddam
Hussein too? Sometimes the world is
better off without people. !pp
\_ Ooh! The new godwin. Helms didn't
dip people in vats of acid for fun.
\_ He would have if he'd gotten away
with it. Look, this asshole made
life really difficult for a lot
of people simply just because he
hated them. His passing is a
blessing, and the world is
better off without him. Sorry,
but it's the truth. Your moral
relativism isn't welcome here.
\_ Yah, you're right, a legislator
who has opinions you disagree
with is just as bad as a
murderous dictator!
\_ Helms fought hard to make
federal funds for needle
exchanges illegal. Because
of him needle addicts in
this country have
attrociously high AIDS
rates. In most other
countries public health
was considered more important
and the governemnts made
needle exchange programs
a priority as soon as the
dangers were apparent. Hell
even Thather realized that
was important. Forgetting
Helms rampant racism and
homopobia, his close
friendship with Pinochet
(so close the FBI were pretty
sure Helms tipped Pinochet
off when the CIA were going
after him), that alone
makes him a horrid little
man. Helms wasn't just
a politician I disagreed
with, he was an evil man.
Fuck him, his death was
welcome.
\_ Why is it the government's
job to fund needle
exchanges?
Why didn't you fund them
yourself?
Needle sharers getting AIDS
have only themselves to
blame. Or maybe you.
\_ It's the government's job
to try to contain
epidemics. Needle
exchange is cheap and
effective and a no
brainer. And even if
you think all junkies
should just die, they
will spread AIDS to
others. Oh, and
fuck you.
\_ AIDS does not meet the
criteria for an
epidemic spread, it
meets the spread
criteria for an
occupational disease
(like black lung).
But you know, don't
let facts get in the
way. In fact, the
handling of black
lung is a good model
for how we should be
handling AIDS.
-- ilyas
\_ "facts," eh?
According to
Duesberg?
/------------------/
How stupid are you? I am not claiming
HIV doesn't cause AIDS, I am claiming
AIDS does not behave like an epidemic
disease, it behaves like an occupational
disease. -- ilyas
\_ According to who?
\_ A disease that isn't
communicated except by
sticking needles in
yourself or having sex
isn't an epidemic.
\_ Or by being raped,
or by being born
to a woman who is
HIV+, and some
people don't have
any choice about
needles being
stuck into them,
such as in
hemophilia and
accidental health
care related
needlesticks.
\_ Needle exchs
won't stop that.
Do you have proof
it would? These
people do not
give a fuck. If
it's not needles
they'll probably
have u.sex. I do
think govt should
probably just let
people acquire
supplies legally,
and drugs too
actually, in a
structured way
to try to neuter
drug gangs.
Preventing public health _/
epidemics is one of THE most
things government does. Cheap,
painless, effective prevention
should always be prioritized over
moralizing about personal choices.
Yes, the government should try
to prevent addiction, however
the reality is there are addicts,
and those addicts are getting AIDS
via needles. It took over a decade
for enough states to start needle
sharing for it to make a difference
where if there wasn't the HELMS
AMENDMENT (see it even has his name)
we could have had serious needle
exchange programs within a year.
Programs that would have paid for
themselves 1000x times over in
almost no time by preventing
expensive AIDS care and loss of
productivity.
\_ right, because
the solution
to every
problem which
confronts our
society is
less
government.
We get it.
\_ AIDS via needle sharing is not
a public health epidemic.
Isn't it paradoxical to have
criminalized drug use and yet
on the other hand support them
with a needle exchange program?
I'd rather just legalize it
all.
\_ legalizing it would make
the public health problem
and the need for needle
exchange problems even more
acute. -tom
\_ No, because right now you
can't get needles legally.
They need to share needles
because they don't have
enough needles because the
government prevents them
from getting them without
a prescription. So now
you want a government
program to let people
exchange the needles they
do (illegally) have which
doesn't increase the # of
needles (and requires
participants to expose
themselves to arrest.
If you make them exchange
1 for 1, then they'll still
share. If you don't, then
you'll get used needles
being littered around.
The focus should be
on safe practices to
prevent nurses from
infecting themselves,
safe sex, finding an
actual cure, and getting
people off injection drugs.
Legalized drug distribution
in safe forms might help.
\_ Thank you, Ron Paul.

5/29 Required reading for the gay marriage debate: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/news/till_court_do_us_part/Content?oid=287931 Marriage is neither a religious nor a governmental construct; it is a *social* construct. -tom \_ Okay. I don't see the difference between religious and social, but I can see that argument. If it's a social construct there's still no need for the government to be involved any more than there is to be involved with BFF. \_ There is a religious (for some) and governmental construct as well. The religious one doesn't matter in the debate (churches can do whatever they want, it doesn't effect people who aren't in the church, and, unlike governments, it is easy to leave a church you don't agree with,) The government is no longer worried about enforcing the social construct. (At least not in this state.) But there are plenty of legal rights that are governmental. And yes the government is "by the people for the people" so is in concept a social contruct itself, but only so abstractly it's silly. \_ [thanks to whatever asshole stomped my changes] It's rather mystifying that you can't see the difference between a religious and a social construct. Among other things, social constructs are observed by people of different religions, and non-religious people. The terms "husband," "wife," and "married" confer different social status on the people holding them. Married people can sleep together in their parents' house. \_ Non married people can too these days. Married people can host Thanksgiving dinner for the family. Married people can both drive the rental car. None of these has anything to do with religion. For that matter, the major religions, including Christianity, have not traditionally endorsed marriage as we practice it today; traditionally, women were property. -tom \_ Yeah, but if that was the entire debate there would be no debate. The concern right now is that marriage has benefits that only the government can provide. Gay couples should be allowed those benifits as well. \_ I agree. But the government is just sanctioning a construct which exists separate from the government. -tom \_ Fair. And I do think it's strange how some people seem to think the christian faiths have a monopoly on marriage. \_ There are "civil unions" and "domestic partners" where participants can claim benefits similar to those for marriages participants. \_ Oh really? Have you tried it? -tom \_ No I'm not gay. \_ you don't have to be gay to try it. You also don't have to be gay to realize that only a miniscule fraction of marriage rights are conferred on domestic partners. -tom conferred on domestic partners. And you might want to try taking your girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant, getting down on one knee, looking into her eyes, and saying, "Will you be my domestic partner?" Let us know how that goes. -tom \_ You disagree with the majority of the CA SC. They said that the domestic partnership laws grant nearly all the rights of marriage. That was part of the reasoning for the ruling. \_ Nearly is not all. And those are only rights that CA can grant. There are lots of rights that are federal. Like say immigration, or tax law, or your status in other states. \_ tom specifically said "miniscule". -pp \_ Compared to what you get federally it is. |

5/28 I just learned that interracial marriage was illegal in 16
states until 1967. Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, and West Virginia. GO REPUBLICAN STATES!!! McCain #1!!!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24542138
\_ Two generations from now people will think the whole fear of
gay marriage is just as bizzare.
\_ Certainly the labeling people as in "fear" will be.
\_ Ok, if you want me to call you a bigotted idiot instead
I can do that for you.
\_ Not really. There are religious reasons for the latter and
not the former. Personally, I think the government should
stay out of marriage entirely.
\_ There were religious reasons cited 50 years ago as well.
And the government can't stay out of marriage entirely.
There are legal rammifications to marriage that you can't
magically solve by contract law.
\_ 1. There are no religious arguments that any major religion
can cite. People can always make sure their own
can cite. People can always make up their own
religions, but certainly interracial marriage is
not prohibited by the major ones.
\_ The "Curse of Ham" was used as justification against
interracial marriage. And see below. But why the
hell does it matter what one religion cares about
marriage? We aren't talking about religious marriage
we are talking about the state's concept of marriage.
You know, the state that isn't supposed to be
involved in that whole religion thing.
\_ Since there's really not any scriptural
evidence for Black people having anything to do
with Ham, let alone that you shouldn't marry
decendents of Ham, all that proves is that people
can make up BS to justify their stupid ideas.
That's not even remotely compareable to the actual
explicit scriptural prohibition of homosexual
intercourse.
\_ You filthy shrimp eater!
\_ Despite what you've heard, the New
Testement also forbids homosexual
Testament also forbids homosexual
intercourse.
\_ I haven't heard diddly. I was lucky
enough to be born to a family that didn't
think some crazy ass book from 2000
years ago should be used as an excuse
to deny other people their rights
\_ "A woman should learn in quietness and\
full submission. I do not permit a woman
\_ Ok, thanks for admitting you're
completely ignorant. Next time you
have no idea what you're talking about
why not just keep out of the
discussion?
\_ No, I think your "but my religion
says to keep The Gays second class
citizens" argument is stupid.
Your religion says a lot of shit,
why should it affect me?
\_ You made an invalid comparison
I pointed it out. Your bluster
does not conceal this.
\_ The fact that The Bible tells
you that gay marriage is EVIL
should affect me no more than
that shrimp are not kosher.
Why the hell are we basing
our laws on what The Bible
says? There's a word for
that. Theocracy. Last I
checked our constitution
specifically prohibits
theocratic rule.
\_ "A woman should learn in quietness and
full submission. I do not permit a woman
to teach or to have authority over a man;\
she must be silent..."
That's New Testament, too. Do you support
that one?
to teach or to have authority over a man;
she must be silent..."
That's New Testament, too. Do you support that one?
\_ All of my elementary school teachers were women.
\_ What if he does? This is a tangent.
2. We can avoid #1 entirely if government stays out of
it. There is no legal ramification to marriage that
cannot be resolved by contract law. Name just one.
\_ Immigration. Visitation rights for prisoners.
Health care for people who get it via being the
spouse of someone with health care (important if
you have a medical condition). Not to mention all
that messy divorce law, especially for people who
have children. Need I go on?
\_ Yes. Why can't these be solved by contract
law again? I see no unsolvable problems.
\_ Marriage provides rights that are granted by
non signers of the contract. I can't create
a non marriage contract that lets me file my
taxes as a married couple. I can't create a
non marriage contract that forces immigration
to treat the other signer the same way they
would if we were married. etc. That's not
contract law. That's rights the state has
decided are inheriant to married couples.
\_ You are bogged down in semantics. Just
because it is that way doesn't mean it
has to be that way. Other law could
resolve those issues. There's no reason
it couldn't.
\_ Other law. Non contract law. I'm
not sure why you have this hardon for
changing the name of marriage to
something else, but I'd say the
person with a semantic problem is you.
My main point is that marriage has
significant, non religious, non contract
rights assiciated with it, which is
something I think people often forget.
\_ http://preview.tinyurl.com/cud2h for a better list
\_ This guy's point is that you could have a
"cohabitation contract" which gives all
the enumerated rights/responsibilities. It
doesn't have to be a "marriage". Seriously,
suppose I'm a fat lame non-gay geek, and my
similarly fat, lame, non-gay geeky roommate
and I decide to give up on women and try
to forge an economic and social alliance
such that we can better take care of each
other? No sex, just, this guy can handle
my finances, make medical decisions,
visit me in prison, etc.? Why should that
be forbidden simply 'cause we're not
romantic partners? This "marriage" thing
under the law needs to be generalized to
not just hetero romantic/breeding partners,
and not just gay romantic partners, but
to anyone who can benefit from having even a
non-romantic domestic partner of either sex.
The only reason to deny this is religious.
\_ If you want to make something that has
the exact same legal benefits of marriage
in the eyes of the state, and you want to
call it something other that marriage and
get rid anything called marriage at the state
or national level, well, ok. But it is
basically marriage, whatever you want to call
it. I'm not sure what benefit you get by
changing the name.
changing the name. And the guy above said
there were no rights to marriage that couldn't
be solved by contract law. That's wrong. To
solve them you have to change a hell of a lot
of other laws to say "this right is granted
to a couple that has signed into a binding
whatever-you-want-to-call-it relationship".
The fact that someone can ignore such giant
benefits as marriage immigration and tax
laws means they obviously have never thought
just how big of an advantage married couples
have in the eyes of the state.
have in the legal system.
\_ You're not thinking about it the right
way. Reread what you responded to. It's
also *very* important what you call it
because marriage has religious significance
that "cohabitation contract" does not.
You're not thinking ahead of me. You're
actually still behind me.
\_ No, I know exactly what you are saying
I just think you are wrong. There is
nothing inheriantly religous about
marriage. Changing the terms will
not change any signifcant group's
minds about the issue. Domestic
partnerships, cohabitation contracts,
whatever you call it, people still know
it is "marriage".
\_ Well, no. It's not. Even today many
people "get married" twice (once
at the courthouse and once in
church) so the difference must
matter to them. I don't think
anyone has a problem with gay
people willing each other property,
for example. The term 'marriage'
means something in particular to
many religions quite apart from
whatever the law says. This is a
case where the legal definition
reflected the societal norms of a
Christian nation, but it is no
longer appropriate for the law to
be involved in, or recognize,
marriage. I think you would find
a lot less opposition if there
wasn't an insistence of legalizing
wasn't an instistence of legalizing
'gay marriage' which conjures up
images of a gay priest, gay wedding,
gay honeymoon, and adopted gay kids.
If gay people want to 'get married'
the law has no grounds to be involved
in their religion and should not
be able to stop them , but if it
wants to deny them their rights
as human beings that's a problem.
A happy resolution is if the
gov't stays out of the marriage
business (e.g. marriage license)
entirely. It's NOTB.
\_ Saying that over and over won't
make it true. -tom
\_ sex is bad. - motd not getting laid guy
\_ Why am I not surprised that
you want the government
involved in yet another
aspect of our lives - our
love life no less?
\_ Red herring. You're not
suggesting less government
involvement, you're just
suggesting that the
government change what
it's called. -tom
\_ Not entirely. I think
"marriage" as defined
by the government
should be dissolved.
There is no need for
divorce court, for
marriage certificates,
joint income tax
filings and some other
constructs. Others
should be handled
with power-of-attorney
and contract law. I
am not merely
advocating we keep
marriage as-is and
rename it. It should
be (as a government
construct) abolished.
\_ You can go live your
libritarian fantasy.
The rest of us actually
live in the real world
where some of these
things matter. And
I hope you never fall
in love with someone
who isn't a citizen.
(Or have children.)

"being in love"
grants rights?
Any rights
assigned by
marriage are
arbitrary and
be assigned
without marriage.
\_ saying that over and over again makes
it true - !tom
\_ And ever since this was fixed, racial relations have been perfect!

read stuff like "god put the races on different continents
because he wanted them apart" ... the fact that that was a

virginia judge writing in the 60s and not a 1920s klansman
in BF, Alabama. The woman n the Lovings case died in the
last couple of months.
\_ Don't you think it's an improvement that a black man can walk
down the street with a white woman and not be killed for it? -tom
\_ only if you're pro Negro
\_ Which has precisely nothing to do with the laws changed.
\_ An interesting assertion. Any evidence? -tom
\_ In which state did Obama's parents get married?
\_ Pakistan outer territories i believe.
\_ "There is no legal ramification to marriage that cannot be solved
by contract law". Um, what? Can someone explain how "contract
law" can give a gay couple the right to inherit unlimited amounts
of property taxfree from their partner or transfer unlimited
amounts of property with their partner tax free? Or get the
social security benefits or federal pensions of the surviving
partner?
\_ You just assign those benefits with a contract other than
a "marriage contract". Just because some other things (like
SS) are broken doesn't mean they can't be fixed. "Gay
marriage" isn't the problem. The problem is that so much of
our law involves "marriage" to begin with. It's an outdated
construct not relevant to modern society except for those
who choose to practice it for religious purposes. Instead
of "spouse" you can substitute "assignee". You don't have
to get married at all in theory.
\_ Please provide some support for the assertion that
marriage is "an outdated construct not relevant to modern
society." Extra credit if you can manage to do it without
circular argument. -tom
\_ How about the fact that gay people want to do it and
that many people are vehemently opposed to allowing
them. Clearly marriage means something to many people
and means something else to gays. Since it excludes
gays, the construct is outdated since gays are people
with rights, too. Instead of creating a new construct
which includes gays and calling *that* marriage why
not eliminate marriage entirely? Marriage is not a modern
concept and the increasing number of cohabitating couples
who never get married attests to that. I am surprised to
find you on the pro-marriage side of the fence. Why are
you so adamant about co-opting the term marriage which
already has a clear meaning in a well-meaning attempt
to extend the rights of marriage to gay couples when
there is no real reason to use the term at all
anymore except in a religious context? I mean, why
should "married couples" have the option to file taxes
together or separately, but "unmarried couples"
cannot? At least the government is starting to see
how stupid *that* is by eliminating the marriage
penalty. I can't really think of any non-religious
reasons that marriage is still relevant in the modern
world.
\_ Effort expenditure: A
Argument advancement: F
Extra credit: F (circular argument used).
The reasons for marriage are mostly non-religious.
You've been presented in this very MOTD with numerous
examples of non-religious reasons why marriage is
still relevant and you've ignored them, as you're
sure to ignore any other fact which fails to fit
with your absurd notions. I'm done here. -tom
\_ I think you are ignoring the facts. Cohabitation
is 10x more common now than in 1960. The circular
reasoning here is yours. The only reason "the
reasons for marriage are mostly non-religious"
is because the (outdated) law makes it that way.
If you subtract religion from the equation then
what reason is there to "get married"? If
it's not about religion then why do the
majority of couples get married both in a
church and in a civil ceremony? If the laws were
changed to reflect modern society then there
would be no non-religious reasons to "get
married" but as it stands currently people are
*forced* to "get married" which is why gay
couples wish to do so. If they DO NOT then they
are denied their rights and *THAT* is an issue
as we are becoming an increasingly agnostic
society instead of the Christian society these
laws were based upon decades ago. You should
not have to "get married" to enjoy *ALL* of the
rights assigned to marriage. Why would you
force people to do so?
\_ "You're talking a lot, but you're not saying
anything." --David Byrne
\_ You're just not listening because it's
not what you want to hear. Answer me
this one question I have asked twice
now:
"Why do most people get married both in
a church and in a civil ceremony if
marriage does not involved religion?"
marriage does not involve religion?"
\_ First of all, I don't think it's clear
that "most" people get married in church
and in a civil ceremony. Do you have
any evidence of that?
Second, marriage is important
*culturally*; marriage is the transition
from one social status to another, and
in some cultures, it's done in the church
because that's where it's expected to be
done, and often there is a social cost to
pay if you go get married by Elvis and
leave the family out of it. That being
said, there are plenty of cultures where
getting married in the church is *not*
expected, and people get married in
a redwood grove, or on a ship, or in
their backyards. You really have no
argument at all here. -tom
\_ I'm not concerned about what they
do in other cultures. I'm
concerned about the US where most
people are married by a priest
even if it's not in a church. Sure,
not everyone is. Most people are.
Even in non-Christian cultures marriage
is often a religious ceremony. To
play marriage in the US off as a
"social ceremony" and ignore the
religious significance is disingenuous.
Why does CA allow priests (who are
not representatives of the State)
to conduct marriages? Shouldn't it
just be performed by judges and
magistrates if it's a civil affair?
\_ In many cultures *within the US*
it is common to not do a church
wedding. The Bay Area, for example.
The US also allows ship captains
to perform weddings; does that mean
marriage is a maritime institution
that has no relevance in landlocked
states? You have no clue. -tom
\_ The ship's captain thing is
not true and, truthfully,
there is no reason for it either.
http://tinyurl.com/l7nqn
BTW, even in the Bay Area,
weddings performed by priests
are the norm. But you are
missing the point, which is
"Why give priests any power
over this at all?" They have
no other legal powers that I
am aware of.

Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental,

recognized by our country.s founders, and shared by
the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be
presented as an acceptable .alternative. lifestyle
in our public education and policy, nor should
family be redefined to include homosexual
couples. We are opposed to any granting of special
legal entitlements, recognition, or privileges
including, but not limited to, marriage between
persons of the same sex, custody of children by
homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or
retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or
civil penalties against those who oppose
homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief
in traditional values.

of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its
authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to
withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from
cases involving sodomy."

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8RS115O0&show_article=1

\_ Why pick on Iran? How about Saudi Arabia? How come we have
no issue with Saudi chopping people's hands off, gauging eyes
off, and stone women to death? In fact, we love Saudi so much
that we outsource our torture to there.
\_ The difference between the USM and Iran being that the worst
that happens in one is they kick you out, in the other they
execute you. So yeah, you make a highly valid comparison.
\_ samething can said about WW2. We only put Japs into
concentration camps, not gas chambers. Thus, it makes us the
good guys. Now, get back to your own drinking fountain.
\_ To point out that the USM also ignores the existence of gays
in its ranks is not the same as to suggest that the USM
executes gays. It is possible to draw parallels in parts and
yet recognize differences in the whole: the USM is not Iran.

throw you a bone. Do you see any difference
between an organization looking to recruit
students and a foreign head of state
attending a forum? I mean, other than
their clothes.
\_ Well, the claim isn't that they're
precisely the same. In 2003 a majority
of the students voted to have ROTC on
campus. The president says there should
be a forum for all ideas, yet ROTC isn't
allowed. What is recruiting other than
presenting your ideas and asking people
to sign up?
\- ROTC isnt an idea. An ongoing
recruitment program is different
from a one shot speech. [BTW, I'm
not sure what I think about ROTC
on private campuses which get public
monies, so I'm just saying the
comparison is bogus, not anti-ROTC].
\_ I think it is quite clear that if
you take the public's money you
need to take the public's
responsibilities which includes
having the military around trying
to recruit if that's one of the
strings. The Feds use highway
funds all the time as a stick for
totally unrelated State bashing.
If that is ok then it should
certainly be ok to pull Federal
dollars from a school that directly
opposes something harmless like
ROTC.

8/31 This is why Edwards can't get elected:
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/r_m
In a recent speech, John Edwards told Americans to sacrifice their
inefficient cars, and specifically, to give up their SUVs. But the
presidential hopeful is driven around in a Cadillac SRX Crossover,
which guzzles gas at 15 miles per gallon. His spokesman says that
he drives a hybrid SUV in North Carolina, but reports say the
Edwards family has a regular SUV and a small truck as well.
\_ He can't get traction because he's so obviously a fake and he's
also pushing his 'rich vs. poor' thing during the best economic
times the country has ever seen. Class warfare is dead.
\_ Yes, if you're rich the economic times are great. It's the
third gilded age.
\_ Yawn. The poor have never been better off. The middle
class has never been better off. The rich are always
better off so their status has nothing to do with
anything. I'm not even close to rich and everything
is peachy. What's *your* problem?
\_ The middle class income has been going down for about
six years now. You probably didn't notice. And an
overwhelming majority think we are in a recession
right now.
\_ And if the media told them they were doing great
they'd think it was a boom time. That same
majority can't even define recession unless they
think it means lowest unemployment rate in the
western world.
\_ Ah, "the media" controls what everyone thinks.
I understand where you are coming from now.
\_ Paul Graham once noted that while income disparity
increases, 'lifestyle disparity' decreases.
The poorest citizens of the world have access to
things people even 50 years ago would consider
unattainable luxuries (cell phones for instance).
Bank account differences are somewhat of a red
herring -- they are important but they aren't a
good measure of 'inequality' because of the
diminishing marginal utility of money. -- ilyas
\_ The poorest citizens of the world are still
starving to death. Don't get too full of
yourself there.
\_ There are the poor wretches who had the
misfortune to be born in NK, or some parts
of SE Asia or Africa. I don't think the
root cause there is economic per se, or
rather the economy is fucked because the
places are run by thugs. I was talking
about places like India or China. But,
discounting the 'ultra rich', consider how
similar people's lifestyles are in the
States. Compared to, say, one hundred
years ago. Upper middle class increasingly
distinguishes itself by brands rather than
'novel things' unavailable to lower stratas
of society. The same engine which increases
income disparity also provides the Honda
civics, ultra-cheap computers, cell phones,
televisions, etc. Actually the issue
isn't just that money has diminishing
marginal utility, it's that progress
continues to raise how much 'lifestyle' you
can buy on a limited budget. One way
the current trends can end is income
disparity continues to increase, but it
stops being relevant because goods become so
well-made, cheap, and plentiful, that
material scarcity gets essentially
eliminated. Sure, some people will still be
significantly 'richer' than others, but
what practical effect will that extra money
have? Perhaps there will be a market for
'brands' or 'original works of art' or
doing very expensive things 'for the soul'
like funding wacky grand research projects
or going into space. People are too hung
up on money. I have a number of friends
who are significantly more wealthy than
me, and our lives are scarcely different.
The difference will only get smaller.
-- ilyas
\_ The televisions and clothes may be
similar but the important differences are
in things like working hours, vacations,
health and health care, and real estate
related issues (ghetto vs. nice place for
children). In general I agree the poor
are still mostly better off than before.
\_ In my experience, the 'well off' that
work tend to work harder and longer
than minimum wagers.
\_ In my experience, the "well off"
retire much, much earlier, like
in their 50s. The middle class
retires in their early to mid 60s
and the poor never retire. That is
probably the biggest difference.
\_ Yes of course, the question being
what happens to the these
differences as time passes. Do
the rich retire earlier today
than 50 years ago?
\_ If hypocrisy kept politicians from getting elected, there would be
no Republican elected officials at all.
\_ *laugh* Or Democrats either. The blindness to the flaws of the
party you don't dislike is just amazing. I really do laugh
every time I see one of these "my guys are all angels and your
guys are all stupid and satanic" posts here or on various blogs.
\_ Nice to see you are so easily amused. You obviously have not
thought very hard about the word hypocrisy and what it
means. There are plenty of things to dislike about Democrats
but not living up to their ideals is a Republican speciality.
\_ Nice to see you are so easily amused.
\_ So bribery, theft, lying, hypocrisy and abuse of power are
a part of the Democratic party platform? Thanks for
clarifying. I understand now.
\_ I guess it depends on how you define "bribery and
theft." Do you mean taking tax dollars from one person
and giving it to another? Then yes, it is part of the
party platform. If you mean something else, please
provide evidence that Democrats are more likely to
engage in it than Republicans. And you keep throwing
out that word "hypocrisy" without any notion of what
it means. Go look it up in a dictionary and get back
to us, m'kay? How many Republicans vs Democrats in
Congress have been indicted in the last 10 years?
\_ If you can't see the hypocrisy of some very high
profile Democrat politicians, then you're just being
a politics homer/fanboi. Politicians are a bunch of
bums no matter what party. -not pp
\_ No one said the Democrats were angels. That was
a straw man you are responding to. They have just
not been as bad as the Republicans, at least
recently.
\_ We have to vote for our lizards so the other
lizards don't get elected. -- ilyas

\_ That's because it's not a filibuster. It's just the Senate

\_ BBZZZZTT.
\_ From the Washington Post: "The Republican success, using
the power of the filibuster, came after a marathon
all-night debate on an amendment to the defense bill. The
52-47 tally left Democrats eight votes short of the 60
necessary to force a vote on the measure."
Facts are such bitter, stubborn things.
\_ No need to be snotty. I actually hadn't heard it was a
filibuster. Thanks for the correction.
\_ Which is part of the point. Almost noone in the
media is willing to admit this is a filibuster.
\_ When Democrats do a filibuster, it's because they
hate America. When Republicans do it, it's
because they support the troops. I hope that
clears things up.
\_ No, the Dems are filibustering something that
we know the Pres would veto, so if they can't
even muster cloture, they can't override the
veto. So why waste the time pandering to

\_ The dems are not the ones filibustering
here. I think you are unclear on your terms
\_ Yep, I mistyped. I know that the
filibuster takes place with the minority.
Replace "are filibustering" with "are

\_ Dude, not being able to muster cloture MEANS
FILIBUSTER. That's what a filibuster is,
refusing cloture. The senate, unlike the
house, has slightly different rules so you
don't need to stand up at the podium and
read from a phone book, but refusing
cloture filibustering. The dems don't have
the votes to get around a veto, true, but
that is an entirely differnent issue. Why,
pray tell, won't the republicans in the
senate let them vote on the bill let it
go to the president to veto or not.
\_ Oh and also, the vote is on an amendment
to bill. (A amendment to a bill that it
is strongly related to I'll add.) If the
president vetos the bill he has to veto
the entire bill. A veto that may not
be politically feasable to do.
\_ Why bring attention to a policy that
over 2/3 of the voting public agrees
over 3/4 of the voting public agrees
with? Is that a serious question?
\_ Overriding the veto has nothing to do with
it. Nice dodge, though.
\_ Why does it have nothing to do with it?
It's legislation that Bush has vowed to
veto, and he's proved that he will veto
something like this (when they tried this
with the last appropriation bill for the
war). So unless they can muster 2/3,
it's pointless. -emarkp
\_ Again, do you really think it is
pointless to show your support for
a policy that an overwhelming majority\
of Americans agree with? You dismiss
a policy that an overwhelming majority
of Americans agree with? You dismiss
the anti-war opinion as the "moveon
crowd" but the truth is half the
country wants out of Iraq now and
another 1/4 wants out soon.
\_ Yeah, instead of wasting time
debating stuff the country actually
cares about, Congress should
follow the model of the Republican-led
Congress and spend their time
debating gay marriage and
flag-burning amendments. That
wouldn't be pointless at all! -tom |

6/14 I can relate having known a few guys who were not just slightly gay
but just down right effeminate who sexually have as much straight
sex as any guy out there. I mean it's all relative. psb may actually
BE gay, but if his sexual relationships have been 80% straight and
20% gay then it just shows he can relate sexually to both genders
right? I think thats pretty cool myself. I often think that if
more macho jocks had at least one gay experience they might be
more romantic and all around just better in bed. I'm sure many
might disagree though. I would love to have sex with a guy

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/15/obituaries/15cnd-falwell.html?_r=1&hp&
oref=slogin
Falwell finally does something to make the world a better place by
dying.
\_ will there be hookers in heaven for him?
\_ Liberty University is in Lynchburg? Is that appropriate or ironic?
\_ Ah, the hatred of the left is always so sad to see.
\_ There are plenty of people I dislike that I'll gladly give
dignity in death. Falwell was much beyond that. Falwell
was a religious facist who justly deserves his place with hell.
Good fucking riddance to a powerful man who blamed AIDS on
society accepting gays as people. Good fucking riddance to a
powerful man who blamed 9/11 on feminism and atheism. Good
fucking riddance to a man worked hard to destroy my fundemental
religious and moral freedoms. Burn Falwell burn.
\_ Though the right is chock full of hate--more so than the left
ever has been.
\_ Keep asserting it, it's a nice security blanket.
\_ Especially when it's true.
\_ I don't know if you can really say that. "The left" has
massacred lots of people over the last 100 years. Maybe
you meant to say "the left in the United States" or
"the left today." -lefty
\_ I was talking about hate, not deaths--but you could argue
that the Christian invasion of the New World and Africa
was an activity of the "right", and that caused more
deaths than the left's recent activities.
\_ Well, I am not going to get into all that. Colonialism
has probably killed more than Communism, true. But the
point is that the left has had plenty of hate at times
in the past, so your claim that the right [today] is
more hateful than the left has at any time in history
is a pretty extreme one and wrong, imo.
\_ Agreed, as is the hypocrisy of the right.
\_ Well, hypocrisy on any side.
\_ And the hatred of either.
\_ The left hates Falwell because of his hate, not because he's
black or poor or jewish or short or fat or tall or skinny
or whatever.
\_ You make a career out of demonizing certain people, don't be
surprised when those people don't like you.
\_ On AIDS:
AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals.
On the Antichrist:
[He] will, by necessity, be a Jewish male.
On the separation of church and state:
The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the
devil to keep Christians from running their own country.
And, of course, on the September 11th attacks:
I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the
feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying
to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the
American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America.

3/19 I was watching this really gay guy dancing in Tchaikovsky's ballet
with my girlfriend and it was a) quite a torture and b) it turns
out that this really gay guy is Barishikov and he's *not* gay and
that is totally fucked up. No wonder people hate classical music.
\_ Are you a homophoebe? Are you jealous that those guys have bigger
pecks and penis than you?
\_ Barishnikov fled the Soviet Union and gave up everything in his
life to be the greatest in the world at what he does. He's more
of a man than you'll ever be. Read up on him, fag-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryshnikov
\_ the greatest in the world at being a fag maybe. ahahahah!
\_ It's funny. Reading the above post, I thought Baryshnikov
resembles the character portrayed in the film White Nights which
I saw 20yrs ago. Only after reading the wiki page did I realize
that he was actually the actor playing that character in the
film. -- OP
\_ I'll take the bait. Ballet is only one category of classical music.
I hate ballet but I love Chopin's piano pieces, for example.
Besides, Tchaikovsky was supposedsly gay.
\- i like lots of classical, some opera, but i hate ballet too.
it would be improved if men wore mumus. when i went to see
swan lake there were they a large number of teenagers sitting
in the row behind me ... the girls were clearly dancers but
there were all these boys who were super into it ... i think
they were proto gays. i think some women pay just to see the
men's asses and package. it was horrible. i started texting
\_ Why don't they just go watch the Chippendales? Cheaper,
and I assume the guys are better looking?
\- maybe they dont feel guity/dirty and they
like the stupid story. there is nothing worse
that thinking you're at the lake scene 90% of
the way through when you realize you're at the
other lake scene 40% of the way through. etc.
"help me" to friends. that really pissed off my companion.
actually maybe i was texting "help me" at the intermission in
tristan and isolde and texted "kill me" from the ballet.
\_ Without opera, there would be no metal as we know it, and
without metal, life would not be worth living. Go opera!
\_ Was that the T&I from like 8 years ago? God, that was
dreadful.
\- this was the dredful T&I last yr. the only reason i went
was 1. i liked the person who invited me 2. to
to see the DAVID HOCKNEY designed set, which was
pretty neat ... but not for 5 hours ... in german.
http://www.hockneypictures.com/tristan.htm
btw, you run into some interesting people at the opera:
sat next to george shultz for one act [then he left?],
also old chancellor heyman etc.
\_ Nutcracker: fell asleep 15 minutes in, woke up 2 minutes before it
ended. Victory!
\_ Finally saw Nutcracker for Xmas 2005. Actually enjoyed it. Still
have utterly no interest in seeing it or any other ballet again.
On a similar note, saw Rigoletto outside in SF Civic Center;
couldn't make it past Act 1. OTOH, saw Don Giovanni at the Met,
and that was pure gold. Hm, do you think I'd like Wagner?
\- The Ring is kind of a fascinating spectacle and if the sets
arent pretty cool, you've been ripped off. and if you like
mythology or D&D/LOTR type fatasies, it's a pretty good
story. But man, some of them, liek T&I, nothing happens ...
the only think that happens in the long last act of T&I is
story. But man, some of them, like T&I, nothing happens ...
the only thing that happens in the long last act of T&I is
a ship arrives and people die. I am not exaggerating. Avoid
Russian Opera at all costs. safe operas to see: mozart,
carmen maybe, aida maybe, fidelio, the ring, maybe some
more verdi, masked ball not too bad, die fledermaus maybe,
barber of seville is ok but NdF is much better. maybe a few
others, but most of them are in "kill me now" territory.
and some of the productions have a serious WTF factor ... like
the chubby middle aged jeanne d' arc last year who was
burned at the stake [thank god, it cant go on much longer]
and was turned into a little asian girl.
Russian Opera at all costs.
\_ As someone who dates a ballet dancer and who knows a lot of male
(but mostly female) dancers from her circle of friends, you are
missing one of the great reasons to watch ballet. Forget about
the men. Watch the women. There are far more of them and they
all have beautiful bodies. Even if you do not appreciate the
art and its difficulty, how can you not be interested in lots
of beautiful and athletic half-naked women? Ballet originally
appealed to a prurient interest before it was elevated to a
fine art and it still does. Dancers are perhaps not
full-figured like Anna Nicole Smith, but lots of them do have
figures despite the emphasis on being thin and bony. In a
professional company, they are typically over 18 as well, so
don't worry about that. Plus, they are surrounded by about 50%
gay men, which is a good thing if you think about it.
\_ Sorry, but child-like women in child-like pajama-style
clothes doesn't excite my prurient interest. I'll just
flip through penthouse or playboy or watch network TV.
\_ You're an idiot.
\_ You're an idiot.
\_ I thought female ballet dancers all have daikon legs.
\_ Meaning what?
\_ Ugly legs that look like daikon.
\_ Yes, dancers all have ugly legs. That's the point
of the whole thing - to have ugly legs. Are you
fricking kidding? The whole point of ballet is to
have beautiful legs and show them off. The tutu
is specifically made to show the entire leg and
to have nice lines. Dancers are not gymnasts.
Strength is important, but appearance is more so.

up total and percentage of hours for each state, and maybe
compare men vs. women, dems vs. reps, new yorkers vs. texans,
gay congressman vs. lesbian congresswomen, etc.
\_ I don't understand the metrics of this. Congresspeople
spend a lot of time in meetings with their staff, meeting
with lobbyists who get past their staff, meeting in the
secret underground Senate chambers, flying back and forth
between their district, calling donors, lots of flying
back and forth, is this 'tracked' in the "2-3 day working week"?
I don't think so.
\_ There's a bit of a misnomer there. Congress was in session 3 days
a week last year, but that doesn't mean every member of Congress
fucked off and played golf the other two days of the week. (*)
Of course if what you want to track is sessions of Congress
attended, you should see if there is if the Congressional roll call
records are available online. I actually think this is an
interesting idea. If you find the data you need to make this go

recount while Y doesn't, and then Y ends up losing, does Y have
to pay?
recount while Y doesn't, and then Y ends up losing, does that
mean Y is now responsible for the cost even though (s)he didn't

11/5 wtf is this?
http://www.pollingreport.com/2006.htm
Can someone explain the rapid turn in polls? Don't tell me it's
GOP TV advertising; but it would be the only principal reason.
\_ In case you haven't noticed for many polls out there you need to
add +10-15 points in favor of the R. This is because conservatives
in general are very hushed about their intentions and they don't
like to take polls or talk to pollsters.
\_ The same reason why you never hear anyone claiming to be R
in SF even though 1/5 are registered R. They'd get beat up
or ridiculed if their friends find out. It's worse being R
in SF than being a gay man in Tennessee.
\_ The same reason why you never hear anyone claiming to be R
in SF even though 1/5 are registered R. They'd get beat up
or ridiculed if their friends find out.
\_ So you think the open minded liberal and friendly folks in
the SF area would physically assault someone for being R?
\_ Absolutely. SF is tolerant to anyone liberal. That's
why you never hear the other 1/5 of the voice. They're
scared of liberals.
\_ No just SF. Many parts of the south bay as well.
\_ That goes for exit polling too, apparently. In most countries
exit polls are used to see if the election was fair. For some
reason, in the United States conservatives don't like admitting
they voted for their candidates. Either that or the election
is not fair, which can't be possible, right?
\_ Elections have been rigged in this country before either
of the current parties existed. That goes without saying.
As far as exit polls go, yes, I believe there is a difference
between some small third world country doing exit polls and
the US spanning 3 time zones with exit poll reports coming
out from the east coast before the west coast polls have
closed. It isn't that hard to tweak the numbers and there
is a very partisan reason for doing so (to make late voters
not bother). As far as talking to exit poll people, no, I
absolutely don't have the time to waste talking to some exit
poll taker for whatever media outlet. There is no value or
requirement to do so in order to support my candidate so I
wouldn't do it. I don't 'admit' to having voted for my
candidate(s). I just 1) don't care to spend my time telling
you and 2) don't think it's any of your business anyway.
\_ Yes. Because polls are a measure of who is being polled. In
tight races with small samples it only takes a small change in
the pollees to shift the final numbers a significant amount.
The pollees to shift the final numbers a significant amount.
That's why I've said for years that polls are useless. In a wide
margin race you don't need one and in small margins everything
falls within the margin of error so there's no point to it. |

It may be entirely true but I'm really bored with unsubstantiated allegations being tossed around to destroy people's lives without so much as a "and here's a single voice mail that shows it, and I have more". But oh boy, he did say he'd take a lie detector test which are known to be worthless. He wouldn't need the useless lie detector test if he actually revealed any of his voice mails. It's all very fishy and annoying. \_ It's not a good year to be a hypocritical social conservative. Yes, yes, accusation != conviction. \_ In politics accusation == conviction. \_ But he's not a politican, he's a pastor... ah right... same things these days. Go go, United States of Megachurch! \_ If it wasn't politically OP wouldn't have called him a social conservative instead of a pastor. \_ "these days" as opposed to what 8 whole years ago? The trend in the nation is away from church doctrine and has been since at least the scopes trial. If you think otherwise, you are delusional. -an agnostic. \_ And if you haven't been paying attention to the new trends in who holds the reins on morality and what they're saying, you've been under a rock the last 10 years. \_ The reins of morality have always been held by the same people. What has changed? \_ The sad thing is, no matter which way this pans out, it'll be bad for gays: accuser is lying -> "look at the horrible gay agenda!" accuser is truthful -> "look at how they corrupted a good, good man!" \_ Well at least they weren't married. |

10/6 Oops, looks like the lurid IM messages ABC revealed with Foley were
with an 18-yr old, not a minor:
http://passionateamerica.blogspot.com
\_ First of all, this is yesterday's news. It is also yesterday's
news that the messages occurred both before and after the
kid's 18th birthday. -tom
\_ I've not seen anything with proof that any lurid messages
happened before his 18th birthday. Can you point me there?
Also, the salacious details that are being used as ammo happened
after the 18th birthday AFAICT.
\_ Gee, no one has to prove anything to you. The fact that
Foley resigned is sufficient proof. -tom
\_ Maybe he resigned because he was trying to bang an 18
year old guy? He isn't a Dem from the north east. Where
he's from that sort of thing isn't ok even if legal. You
have no idea why he resigned, just conjecture. There's
also an issue of power here similar to Clinton with his
intern and every exec who has ever banged his secretary.
It really does matter how old the page was and when Foley
said what to him but I'm not surprised that someone looking
for the truth would get brushed off. The truth is just
never as fun as making shit up. --someone else
\_ well I'm sure the attorney general and the congressional
ethics committees will be sure to consult with all
the anonymous MOTD cowards, to be sure we get to the
truth.
Yes, my conjecture is that this is a big deal, or
else a self-righteous twerp like Foley would never
have resigned. Anonymous coward's conjecture is
apparently that no messages to minors exist,
everyone who is saying there are messages to minors
is lying, and Foley resigned because he's a man of
such high moral standing that even the appearance of
impropriety was unacceptable.
Occam's Razor. -tom
\_ Asserting things doesn't make them true. -tom 9/28/06

\_ If you think this is going to defuse the scandal, I've got an

what really happened. ABC seems to be playing up the lurid
emails for ratings (putting politics aside), and
dishonestly connecting the minor-status of the page to the
IMs.
\_ uh, like yesterday's post, age of consent is 16 in DC. In DC, it's
legal for a 50-year-old to have consensual sex with a 16-year-old,

wings and can fly.
\_ Hello to David Dreier.
\_ Are you kidding? The hypocrisy of politicians is legendary.
Republicans in particular. The most anti-gay of them are
gay themselves. The most anti-corruption are taking bribes.
The most 'pro family values' are the ones with mistresses.
The anti-substance ones are addicts. And so on, and on, and on.
And even more so if they're religious.
\_ Mmmm mmmm!! I love the smell of a good rant in the morning!
\_ and the former co-chair of the House Caucus on Missing and
Exploited Children regularly engages in cybersex with high school
students
\_ Paging Andrew Sullivan.
\_ Wealthy white males without children. I read somewhere that more
and more gays are turning to the Republican party. It really
represents their interests better than the Dems do. 25% of gays
(lesbians included) voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, and the
numbers are creeping higher: see Log Cabin Republicans.
\_ "Really represents their interests?" Are you insane? Have you
READ the Republican Party platform?
\_ Reclaim the Panama Canal! Woohoo! *bang* *bang*
\_ Their priorities are not what you think they are. Their
priorities are often national defense, small government
(which is *supposed* to be a Republican ideal), lower
taxes, big business, etc. Think Merv Griffin here.
\_ sorry, "keeping my sexual preference legal" trumps all
of that.
\_ is it preference or born like that?
\_ That's your own personal opinion not shared by all
gays and lesbians.
\_ right, and some poor blacks vote Republican, too.
The stupid ones. -tom
\_ Such tolerance from the left. The Republicans
are, after all, the party of Lincoln.
\_ I'm sure blacks voted Republican in 1860.
(To the extent they were allowed to). Let's
try to keep the discussion within the
most recent century. -tom
\_ What makes you think you know what's best
for poor blacks - all poor blacks, in fact?
That's the main problem with liberals.
They always think they know what's best
for you.
\_ Ah, right, and the conservatives are
constantly responding to the needs of
the people. You're a moron. -tom
\_ Conservatives prefer to let people
respond to their own needs and
not call them 'stupid' if they
have different priorities.
\_ URL? -tom
\_ Stupid because... the dems would make them not
poor? Or maybe not black?
\_ Stupid because the dems don't view poor
people as self-evidently lazy, criminal, or
both. Stupid because Republicans constantly
attack social programs intended to help the
poor, because by conservative ideology, the
poor just don't work hard enough, so all they
need to succeed is fewer social programs. -tom
\_ So you actually believe people are poor
because they're lazy? Please look at the
a documentary called Rebels With a Cause
and The Weather Underground. A bunch of
young leftists tried to help out the poor
and for whatever reason (pride, resentment,
etc) the poor simply rejected help from
a bunch of rich yuppie kids. There's a
saying that Republicans are Democrats
that have yet to be robbed, and there's
a lot of truth to that.
\_ uh, no, I think that the conservative
ideology is that the rich are rich
because they worked for it, and the poor
are poor because they don't work hard
enough. That ideology has no connection
to reality. -tom
\_ I think the opposite is true. Democrats
are Republicans that have yet to be
robbed. Once they are robbed then
see how quickly they are against gun
control, light prison sentences, etc.
\_ You got that saying backwards. Carry on.
\_ Like Clinton's welfare reform which kicked
how many people off the lists and put caps
on how much help someone is allowed? Or
like how Dems are opposed to school vouchers
because the fewer crappy public schools
there are the less the teacher's unions can
give to the Dems?
\_ Intended to help them, perhaps. They did
pass that prescription drug plan so they're
not as different as maybe you'd like to
think. Anyway, this would be more useful
if we chose one specific program that
Rs attack and Ds support (or vice versa) and
discuss the merits. I guess school vouchers
is one. I used to be on the fence for that
but now I think they'd be good. I know
enough people who do home-schooling that I
see a lot of potential for innovation in
private education. Maybe you can offer some
other examples. I've grown to be very wary
of giant grabby bureaucracies which is what
large government agencies or school systems
become.
\_ The stupid and poor ones have more to gain from
meager tax cuts, because any amount will
largely affect their lifestyles.
\_ yeah, I'm sure removing the estate tax and
the capital gains tax will have huge impact
in Harlem. -tom

jokes about priests the boys, but that's a different issue.
\_ More helpers that are around priests are male. Historically, it's
been seen as an acceptable choice for same-sex attracted men to
enter the priesthood (and thus remain celibate). However I've
heard that it's a problem now--the seminary has enough gay men that
they're getting sexually active with each other.

Affirming justices cite case law defining due-process-derived "fundamental rights" as ones that are "deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition" (1977). In the 2006 opinion: "The right to marry is unquestionably a fundamental right. The right to marry someone of the same sex, however, is not 'deeply rooted'; it has not even been asserted until relatively recent times." Dissenting: "Simply put, a history or tradition of discrimination - no matter how entrenched - does not make the discrimination constitutional.

closed off unlimited contributions to political parties, 527s

your use of "Republican" and
"Democrat." I think the terms

article's argument is that they don't
compare relative populations of
religious baby-producers and secular
baby-busters. I'm willing to bet
that the baby-producers are both a
smaller segment of the population, and
overwhelmingly immigrants of color.

attitudes toward politics has a
genetic component, in other words
children tend to inherit the

about genetics, and you just
avoided everything that I said.

\_ Wow. "[T]he data suggest an
interplay of both *genetic*

[emphasis added] Whatever
you studied in college, I
guess it was neither logic
nor reading comprehension.
The article also said
"people's attitudes toward...
politics," so your argument
that it's not about politics
is also patently wrong.
Do you have anything to say
beyond lies and obfuscation?

three ppl are participatng

commenting about the
same article, and
claims about what the

\_ Your question is seriously flawed, and
already probably caused a boatload of
confused discussion.
\_ What do you mean by "heritable"?
http://m-w.com:
heritable 1 : capable of being inherited or
of passing by inheritance
inheritance 1 a : the act of inheriting
property b : the reception of genetic
qualities by transmission from parent to
offspring c : the acquisition of a
possession, condition, or trait from past
generations
Obviously it is not 1(a). Are you talking
about 1(b) or 1(c)?
\_ This correlation also applies to education levels, and hig
standard of living. Cf. Europe and Japan.

3/6 http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/what-did-i-tell-you Hollywood blogger says: a) "this year's dirty little Oscar secret was the anecdotal evidence pouring in to me about hetero members of the [Academy] being unwilling to screen Brokeback Mountain" b) I told you so: Crash might win because of homophobic Academy voters c) Crash and Brokeback "both good, if flawed, films" d) There was "hardly at all" any controversial political statements d) "The forces that hate Hollywood salivated for Brokeback to win Best Oscar", but oh well \_ As someone with connections in Hollywood (including members of the Academy) let me say that a) and b) seem very unlikely given the prevalence of gays in Hollywood. It didn't seem to stop them from voting for, say, "Monster". As you know, "Brokeback Mountain" has been well-received by Hollywood. I think this blog is full of crap. \_ blog entry: "I found horrifying each whispered admission to me from Academy members who usually act like social liberals that they were disgusted by even the possibility of glimpsing simulated gay sex." Okay, granted it's a blog, but it has a lot of history behind it and cred to lose. Who are you and how reliable would you say you are? I can understand if you don't think it's worth it. \_ I would say I'm pretty reliable given that my girlfriend works in Hollywood. Her boss won a freaking Oscar (producer) and is a member of the DGA. Her officemate was a screenwriter for "Walk The Line". I think this blog person is trying to stir up shit. If the Academy was that biased they would have never nominated it. Hollywood is full of gay people. Even though some of the members are older and more conservative I really doubt they are homophobic. Are you telling me they won't vote for Dreamworks movies, too, because of David Geffen? Or Digital Domain movies, because of the VP (a lesbian)? Titanic did pretty well! Come on! Next thing I'll hear is that they are biased against Jews! --dim \_ Props to you for ID'ing yourself. Turns out blog author is also columnist for L.A. Weekly: http://www.laweekly.com see bottom-right. Could be she's totally wrong, after all it's all "anecdotal". Natural hetero aversion to watching man-on-man romance shouldn't be enough to sway sophisticated academy types from voting for it if it truly deserved it. \_ The major complaint I've heard about BB from people in Hollywood is that it's boring. I think some people want to champion it because it's a gay film and the reality is that there are some people who might have said: "I am not voting for that because it's a gay film", meaning "Just because it's a gay film doesn't mean I like it" and not "I refuse to vote for it because I hate gays." \_ There's a difference between supporting the concept of gayness, and wanting to watch a movie fairly graphically (for Hollywood) depicting gay sex. But I don't really think that's why it didn't win; it didn't win because it was subtle, and Hollywood hates subtlety. -tom \_ It's not about 'wanting to watch... gay sex.' People don't want to watch serial killers and yet 'Silence of the Lambs' won. If it was about gays then why did Hoffman win for 'Capote'? I am not really sure what the 'Hollywood hates subtlety' line is getting at, BTW. Hollywood appreciates subtlety a lot more than the average theater-goer does. \_ Your analogy needs work. People are far more comfortable with depictions of violence, even extreme violence, than they are with sex - heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise. That said, the sex scene in Brokeback was pretty damn tame. \_ It's not an analogy. It's an observation that you don't have to be comfortable with the subject matter (or want to watch it) and yet still praise a movie. There are some disturbing movies I'd never want to see again that I can still find merit in. It's not supposed to be 'most entertaining movie' or 'movie most people would like to see if given a chance' or 'movie best suited to repeat viewing'. It's supposed to be the best movie. Again, if there is a bias then why did Ang Lee win? That's pretty good evidence that there's no bias. \_ no, it's not. \_ Yes, it is. The movie won several awards, so obviously people in the Academy had no problem voting for it when they feel it deserved it. \_ You're begging the question. If we assume that Brokeback is at least as good as, say, Titanic (which it's much better than in reality), and Titanic won 11 Oscars and Brokeback won 3, there must be some bias going on. Personally, I think the bias is that the Academy has no taste, but it's entirely plausible that there's a bias against the gay theme. -tom \_ Tom, are you a closeted gay? \_ Are you asking for a date? -tom \_ This sounds too stupid to be tom. --dim |

2/13 "Marriage Brings Wealth, Divorce Steals It"
http://www.livescience.com/othernews/060118_wealth_marriage.html
It's more than about combining assets in a marriage and splitting the
assets in a divorce.
\_ What ever happened to BDG?
\_ This matches my experiance. Division of labor is also a big
win in my house.
\_ ...from which it follows that gay marriage will increase the
overall wealth of society, since more people will be getting
married.
\_ Unless many gay marriages end in divorce. [Disclaimer: Not a
statement on gay marriages as such (and in fact I am pro-gay
marriage), but just pointing out a logical flaw.]
\_ That's a good point. I guess it depends on how much the
positives of marriage and the negatives of divorce cancel
eachother out based on the fraction who get divorced. Of
course the same is true of straight couples. I'm guessing
it comes out significantly ahead for marriage with some
divorce vs. no marriage or divorce, both for straight and
gay couples. Of course, there are much better reasons to be
in favor of gay marriage, but I like to point out these things
since it's the party of greed who is most strongly in
opposition to gay marriage, in spite of the wealth it would
generate for society at large.
\_ This is easy to deal with: just don't let gay people get
divorced. This will help build society's wealth, while also
preserving the traditional heterosexual institution of
divorce.
\_ So that's how those Mormons get rich!
\_ Well, is there research on the relationship between children
and wealth? My guess is negative, and very.
\_ Huh, another argument for gay-marriage.
\_ Agreed. I'm happily married but unhappily parenting.
\_ There's a conflating factor, which is that people often get
divorced because of money. "For those who got divorced,
wealth began to decline about four years before divorce and
bottomed out the year prior to divorce." So it is probably not
the divorce that causes the loss of wealth, but the loss of
wealth causing the divorce. -tom
\_ Maybe, I don't think there's a lot of evidence for that in
the article though. It could also be that your wealth goes
down when your marriage is on the rocks. -jrleek
\_ Could be, but I think common sense would show Tom's
scenario more likely. There's no real reason I can
think of for wealth to decrease just because a marriage is
going poorly.
\_ Normally finances are the direct cause of marriage problems
and lead to divorce. Want to know how a couple could get
into financial problems? Take a young couple with a $30k
wedding + honeymoon, so they start out life in debt. Then
she quits her job when they having their first kid. You
can all see where this leads.
\_ Eating out alone more often because not wanting to eat with
spouse at home? Cost of marriage counselling? Decrease in
work performance because of bad mood, hence lower bonuses
and raises and promotion? More impulse shopping?
\_ Don't forget the cost of a mistress/beau.
\_ "Wealth begins climbing again in the year of the
divorce, but not by much." Then why does wealth begin
to increase after divorce?
\_ Throwing yourself into work to avoid depression/dealing
\_ closure?
\_ Divorce lawyers are expensive.
\_ This is a stupid study. It's done on 21 to 28 years old who don't
have much money to begin with: "After divorce, men had 2.5 times the
wealth of women, but this seemingly large disparity worked out to
only about $5,100, on average." At this stage, little things like
paying a divorce lawyer can eat up the few thousands dollars of
have much money to begin with: "After divorce, men had 2.5 times
the wealth of women, but this seemingly large disparity worked out
to only about $5,100, on average." At this stage, little things
like paying a divorce lawyer can eat up the few thousands dollars of
wealth.
\_ 21-28 year olds shouldn't be marrying. Marriage shouldn't be
allowed before 30. 35 would be even better.
\_ You work in the fertility biz?
\_ I didn't say "no kids before 30." I said "no marriage
before 30." I don't want to hear anyone complain about
high divorce rates when they're marrying off their 17 year
old daughter.
high divorce rates when they're marrying their 17 year
old daughter. I am yet to be convinced that pregnancy
out-of-wedlock is more dangerous than wedlock out-of-
pregnancy.
\_ Wow. That's not a point of view you hear every day.
\_ Hahaha. What's "dangerous" about it?
\_ I meant to say "harmful", not "dangerous", but the
strains of marriage are not helped along by feelings
of obligation and resentment over an unexpected
pregnancy, not to mention financial strain. There is
no reason other than social stigma for marriage to
be the necessary response to a pregnancy. Outside
of pregnancy, I posit that people are ill-equipped
to make a life-without-end bargain in their 20s.
\_ Well the kids -> marriage thing is about the
kids and being responsible for them, and trying
to provide a family. No pregnancy is truly 100%
unexpected and people make choices when they
decide to fuck each other (and not abort). Anyway
since divorce exists, obviously it's not
life-without-end now is it? Society doesn't seem
to care that people regularly break these pledges.
\_ I care. </skywalker> Divorce sucks for all
involved. A breakup, if it must happen, is
hard enough without legalities and such. We
seem to be talking at cross purposes here.
The dysfunction that can arise from entering
marriage based on obligation is what I was
talking about above re "harm".
\_ Fertility is still very good in the early 30s. It is not
until after 35 that it really starts to fall off. |

YES $30 dollars, that means I have the power to waste $30 per click even if I'm not interested in that company. So I have a suggestion for all of you bored Green Peace liberals with nothing else to do. Search for Republicans and start clicking on "Republican Dating" or "The Republican Store" or any site that supports the GOP. Now that you are empowered to bankrupt their internet funding, spread this message to all of your hippy friends now! \_ Sorry, it didn't work that way many years ago when I was at a ad based company. I'm certain it doesn't now. No one is paying $30 for a click through. They would pay $30 for an actual signup with a real CC# attached though. For the click throughs (which were measured in $/1000 clicks in my day) we only got paid for real clicks after the logs went to a third party service for 'cleaning'. You can't honestly believe you're the first person to have ever thought of inflating someone else's costs with fake clicks? Anyway, as a philosophical/political thing, if your philosophy was so great you wouldn't need to try 'dirty tricks' to win. Your philosophy should stand on it's own merit at the ballot box. \- if you want to cost the Rs real money you have to be less lazy. one thing you might do is see if the cash checks for 1cent. if you get pre paind fund raising englvelopes from them keep sentind them 1cent checks [i get free checks]. that's a suggestion that doesnt involve leaving the house. you might also put like glitter in the envelope. i assume that is not illegal. yes, i know this doesnt cost them real money but it might deliver psychic satisfaction. i also realize it may not be the R machine processing these checks so you will have to decide if it is appropriate to fill the office of a R contractor with hard to get rid of glitter. anyway, this is after about 30 seconds of thought. i am sure i could come up with something better, but yeah, there is a no free lunch aspect to this. i certainly have no problem mailing empty prepaid envelopes back in cases of unsolicited junk i dont like. i guess you can look at their return addresses and subscribe them to gay vacation advertising lists etc. \- oh, you also may be better off trying to disrupt a small unit ... like say infiltrating the BCR etc. \_ Having spent a summer working on ads analysis at Google, I can assure you that the cost-per-click can get outrageously high. However, you're unlike to be able to take advantage of this because (a) you won't be able to find out which keywords are expensive without alot of work and (b) Google has a many smart people working on detecting clickspam and they've gotten very good at it. --darin [ reformatted - formatd ] |

6/30 ausman why do you work at a gay company? You seem like a normal
straight guy in real life, are you gay?
\_ Would it bother you nearly as much if he worked at http://ass.org?
\_ Would it bother you nearly as much if he worked at http://match.com?
\_ Why wouldn't I want to work at a gay company? If you are
really that interested in my sex life, email me.
\_ Are you saying that this company wants to have sex with
other male companies?
\_ What's the big deal? Isn't gay company money still green?
\_ Are you afraid of gay people? |

6/30 Help. Many people in my company suspect this HUGE figure is gay (Steve
Jobs), but we don't know for sure. He's one of the sweetest guys around
but lately he's been ignoring me. In fact I sense a strong hostility
from him, especially at recent meetings where he
dismisses all of my ideas, openly. I suspect it might
have something to do with the Propaganda Remix Posters I use as
my screen saver (http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/PhotoAlbum1.html
To be more specific, there are quite a few gay related posters,
such as the ones below:
http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/.Pictures/gays2.jpg
http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/.Pictures/gays5b.jpg
http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/.Pictures/gays6.jpg
I have nothing against gay people, I just use these posters because
they're sarcastic and anyone with any intelligence would probably
find them funny. However, I suspect these posters may have something
to do with his recent change of demeaners and hostility towards
no one but me, but I don't know for sure what the root of the
problem is. What's the best way to find out, and to correct this
misunderstanding? ok thx.
\_ Maybe he's a Republican. There are gay Republicans.
\_ change this one more time and motd dies.
\_ it's "demeanor". maybe he thinks _you're_ gay.
\_ You know, if you don't want trouble at work, you shouldn't use
provacative screen savers. Both sensitive homosexuals and
sensitive religious people could find these offensive. Why are
you surprised that someone got offended?
\_ No gay man would be offended. They're funny as hell.
Overly-sensitive religious types who "got it" could be
offended. I do agree, though. I wouldn't put these up
at work, unless I worked at Top Dog.
\_ I like the implicit assertion that there is no such thing
as a gay idiot.
\_ When it comes to sarcastic jokes about homosexuality,
they're pretty well-attuned
\_ Or an overly sensitive religious republican gay idiot for
that matter.
\_ I used to work at a company where there's an RCS script called
/usr/public/blowjob. The header said it started of as
/usr/public/blowjob. The header said it started off as
"getHeadRevision". Then it was changed to "getHead", and then
eventually "blowjob".
\_ Um, yeah what the screen saver guy said. I work at a gay
company and I asked five coworkers if they would be offended
by the above screen savers. Four laughed and said are you
kidding me and one said he would be offended. So if you don't
want to upset people at work, try to keep your politics off
your screen saver. As for how to rectify things, I would say
there is no easy way to do it. You could try putting an HRC
sticker on your monitor, though that risks offending people
who are opposed to gay equal rights and the probable result
that some might think you were "outing" yourself. The easiest
thing to do would to bring some gay friends around work and
make sure your boss sees you with them. You *do* have some
gay friends to bring around work, right...? -ausman
\_ Let's say I bring my gay friends to work, how the heck would
the director (which we presume is gay) know that they're gay?
I mean, you can tell occasionally but not all the time. -op
\_ hopefully he can figure it out..
\_ What's the point of having a screensaver with a modern monitor
anyway? Aren't monitors pretty much immune to screen burn now?
\_ Turn on the DPMS screen saver to save electricity instead. Or
better. Turn off the monitor and the machine when you leave
work.
\_ Turn on the DPMS screen saver to save electricity instead.
\_ Or better still--do both.
\_ Which company is it?
\_ I would agree that having political messages open for all to
see at work isn't a good idea. To ammend the relationship -- just
back off and give it a little time. Tempus dolorum diminuit. |

6/24 Libertarian purity test.
http://www.bcaplan.com/cgi/purity.cgi
Feel free to post scores/interpretation. -- ilyas
\_ Alarm bells should go off in your head any time some ideology starts
trying to measure and compare the "purity" of its adherents.
Reasonable people do not measure their politics or philosophy on
a linear scale.
\_ Dear GOD, man. Is being a geek an ideology too? They have a
purity test. How about being gay? How about you get that
stick out of your ass? -- ilyas
stick out of your ass? The 'purity test' tradition is
an ancient part of Internet culture. -- ilyas
\_ 16. It called me a "soft-core libertarian", which I guess
is true in the same way The Princess Bride is soft-core porn.
If you score zero (meaning you approve of the current U.S.
system of government), it calls you a Nazi nut.
\_ Ditto here, with 30 points. The test is bunkum, as it makes, as
as with most such silliness, no allowance for shades of gray.
Plus, "anarcho-capitalist?" Nobody who calls him/herself a
libertarian that I know of would describe themselves as even
close to that. Bzzt, sorry, try again. -John
\_ It may be bunkum to you, but I find it useful as an estimate
(it's unbelievably fashionable among some people to proclaim
social liberalism and economic conservativism). For
\_ Does that make the stance any less valid? I don't see the
problem with "mind your own busineess and be responsible
when spending other peoples' money". -John
\_ Sure, but that quote you have in quotes is uninformative.
I have found when talking politics with my friends that
almost everybody sounds the same (reasonable). This is
because people have a tendency to not start with the
more controversial components of their beliefs when
discussing politics. This is why tests like this are
useful. John and I might sound superficially the same
when we start talking, but there's a huge difference
between a 30 and a 76. -- ilyas
\_ Why is it uninformative? I find that, no matter
how many shades of gray you have between extremes,
there's always a tipping point at which the majority
of educated individuals making up the center bit of
any bell curve will no longer see a certain bit of
politics as matching a given quality--this being
something like "responsible", "frugal", whatever. I
refuse to be drawn into a discussion of "one should
always do xyz", where "xyz" is some predefined
action like "cutting taxes by 50%". I believe that
it's the duty of said educated individuals to make
decisions and choices based on a well thought-out
moral and ethical foundation, and in careful
consideration of a particular situation. Otherwise
we could replace the constitution with some all-
encompassing decision matrix, couldn't we? I just
happen to have come to the conclusion that what I
put in quotes above works for me in most
situations. -John
\_ It's no more uninformative than that test is
an accurate measures of your political beliefs.
What I put in quotes above works for me most of the
time as a common-sense litmus test for most
political issues, while still letting me take into
account the particular situation. And frankly I
haven't found a "determine your political color"
test yet that I didn't find in any way valid or not
full of horseshit. -John
\_ That's because a real political test would
be extremely long and read like a philosophy
paper. At any rate, the 'purity test' might not
be a serious political test, but you can't compare
the information you get from it to your vague
platitute of:
"mind your own business and be responsible
when spending other peoples' money". Don't forget
to mention something about not eating kittens.
-- ilyas
paper. -- ilyas
\_ Why not? It's a basic "gut test" for looking
at politics, as opposed to an attempt to
simplistically quantify a wide range of topics
in a binary manner, which simply doesn't work.
I have a few fundamental ideals that I believe
in, which I consider when analyzing various
political situations. I find that gives me far
more satisfying answers than "should we sell
the federal government? Yes/No (if you answer
No, you need to work on your answers.)" -John
\_ Why not? Because that line has a wide WIDE
set of interpretations, many in conflict
with each other. At least with yes no
answers you get a rough idea of where you
are willing to bite the bullet. With what
you said, I get _no information_. -- ilyas
\_ Ilya, we're arguing on two different
levels here. Of course my tenet is no
more than a "wide" political ideal. You
will not be able to divine how I will
vote on Prop X. from it. However, I
think it's entirely fair to state it as a
basis for making political decisions, as
opposed to a bunch of absolute answers
to nonsensical questions with no context
given whatsoever. To be honest, I think
that people who claim to have absolutely
sure and immovable convictions about such
topics without even bothering to consider
surrounding "real world" factors, border
on fanaticism. -John
calibration, my score was 76. Point about libertarians
vs A-C people, the test ought to be more properly called
the 'anti-government purity test.' If it wasn't obvious,
this wasn't a serious test, much like other purity tests.
A real test would be a moral philosophy test. -- ilyas
\_ A 76? Did you say we should abolish everything? I only
managed a 17 and I consider myself a conservative with
libertarian tendencies. -emarkp
\_ The only things I am _sure_ the government ought to
be responsible for is the army and the justice system.
I am also thinking about dbushong's idea of 'commons
rent,' which the government collects and uses to maintain
the commons. For instance, charging individuals
proportionally to the pollution they cause. -- ilyas
\_ What about government funded basic research? We
are still benefiting today from basic research done
at the Royal Society two hundred years ago, or for
that matter from Archimedes' research that Syracuse
paid for two thousand years go. Were they all
Looters as well? Are you a Looter?
\_ We're also benefitting from having wiped out the
Indians and seized their land.
\_ 7 -moderate
\_ 38 -nivra
\_ another 16. I hadn't remembered what a bunch of nutcases
the libertarians were. I *like* having regulators inspect
elevator safety, and don't trust the "marketplace" to take
care of that in the long run.
\_ 17. agreed.
\_ 12. Which system of philosophy advocates chemical castration and
utterly transparent financial records for all elected officials?
'Cos I'd vote for that. --erikred
\_ I find it ironic that the anti-government party uses a government
owned statue as its symbol. I got a 22, btw. -ausman
\_ 20. I am intrigued at how these guys expect some of the schemes to
work. I have heard of some of them but I'm not clear on for example
abolishing the state altogether and having private law and money.
Seems like this would involve joining private security groups, which
would probably end up being bullied by larger conglomerates. Anyway
libertarians seem to ignore certain realities such as environmental
concerns. Air and water pollution, and open space preservation for
example. Private entities might conceivably run a place like
Yosemite, but to maximize their profit they might do undesirable
things. I wonder what the monetary value of such places is. If
enough people interested in outdoors pooled resources they might
conceivably claim ownership I guess. But in general the wealthy
would be able to wield more power such as blocking the public from
various lakes etc.
As far as international involvement goes, sure it sounds good to
withdraw from everywhere but kind of ignores the possibility of
foreign states bent on empire. -- a moderate
\_ Did you read my post about 'commons rent?' Commons are an
acknowledged problem for _me_, I am sure it is for other
libertarians. -- ilyas
\_ No offense intended, but from the discussion above, it's apparent
that this is more aptly called the ilyas Purity Test.

6/10 http://csua.org/u/cbk (wapo) Finally, we drive that final nail in the coffin of the libidinous, treasonous PBS. \_ Oh, I read that as treasonous PSB. \_ Oh, I read that as libidinous, treasonous PSB. \_ Less PBS funding, less children's shows that promote diversity. Translation: Less PBS funding, less toxic exposure to my kids on topics such as faggots and AIDS. This is definitely good news for the Religious Right. All Heil GWB, bring them on, and God Bless. \_ Yeah, because Sesame Street was the prime target. Sure. Please apply for the job below, because you seem to be qualified. \_ Would it make it better if SS _were_ the prime target? \_ No. Though SS has declined dramatically in quality in the last 5+ years, it's not exactly leftwing drivel. \_ Oh, I read that as treasonous PBS. \_ So to what, other than Bill Moyers (who may be leftwing but to call drivel is your own failing), would you object? \_ There is too much left wing drivel on public broadcasting. They got all these brit shows like Red Dwarf, HG2G, Antiques Roadshow, etc. They need to put on more quality programming like the 700 Club. I mean, Dr. Who is definitely gay and that whole Tardis thing is just obviously phallic. \_ I want to think this is a troll, but since it's williamc, i'm never quite sure. \_ No, it's not a flame, we're all serious here. Especially you. Down with Wall Street Weekly! \_ It's cute when you try to be funny. :-P \_ Wasn't this just about the dumbest thing the Republicans could have done, politically? I mean, what with all this hugely wasteful billion-dollar pork everywhere and a trillion-dollar war that nobody wants, they decide to kill a very popular and very visible $500M program in the name of "cutting costs." Way to go guys, I hope you enjoy President Hillary. \_ Hillary is unelectable. Come on, after the previous election, it's clear that this kind of stuff doesn't sway enough votes. They vote on gay marriage and stuff, and how the candidates look. I guess it all depends on what candidate the pubs come up with next time. \_ Rudy? \_ Powell? \_ jeah right! \_ McCain \_ Destroyer of the 1st amendment. \_ Could you give a reference or some context for that? I'm not as savvy about McCain as I'd like to be. -mice \_ Think "McCain-Feingold" restrictions on political speech. As in "congress shall make no law..." \_ Huh? \_ The votes of the republicans on that sub-committee do not reflect the opinions of many republicans. Personally I feel that PBS is the most unbiased source of information currently available (I'm mainly speaking of things like the NewsHour, Nova and Frontline) on television. \- for the cockroaches in power, "fiat lux" is not especially desirable ... like televised hearings on judges, john bolton etc. and when they want to be on TV, its easy enough for them to get airtime. --treasonous psb |

6/2 After 1950, 5 Presidents have been Democrats and 9 presidents
have been Republicans. What does that say about Democrats, that
they've sucked not just in the past 10 years but in the past
5 decades? That they just can't seem to get their acts together?
-Disillusioned Democrat, now Independent
\_ They controlled Congress for most of that 5 decades. You know
that Congress thing, I'm sure you've taken Civics. I'm assuming
you're familiar with the separation of powers thing?
\_ yeah, they should make sure their brother is the governor of
a key swing state. -tom
\_ Please don't tell me that you believe Jeb Bush rigged Florida. I
know you're obnoxious and rude and sometimes stupid, but I didn't
figure you for a conspiracy nut too.
\_ I am sure that if Al Gore Sr. were governor of Florida,
the election would have gone differently; voter rolls
wouldn't have been purged of black-sounding names, for
one thing.
In any case, what's so special about 1950? If you look at
1960, or 1945 (end of WWII), Democrats and Republicans
have held the presidency about an equal amount of time. -tom
\_ Because numbers are fun to fuck around with. The question
itself is deliberately misleading, and was posted by one
of our stealth motd posters. I simply assumed it was a
troll --scotsman
\- a pretty smart observation about election 2000 was
\- a pretty astute observation about election 2000 was
"when an election is that close, all theories are
true" ... i mean you can claim it was a sunny day
true" ... you can plausibly claim it was a sunny day
and the young hedonist democrats and homosexuals all
went to the beach.
\_ The DNC in Chicago was the site of one of the most heinous cases
of police brutality in the nation's history. The Dems of today are
not the Dems of 1950-1974. Get used to it. |
