Silly thread. You're all talking about depression like it's something more than a mood... - Cancer Marney, TSM resident psychologist

I don't personally know even one homosexual couple which has adopted a child. AFAIK most tend to have their own from previous relationships. I'd be interested to see the actual numbers of adoptive homosexual parents, and perhaps some longitudinal research on their children.

No.

Well, it obviously has nothing to do with morality or God. It's just that the benefits given to married couples by the state are a recognition of the fact that traditional nuclear families are the foundation of our society and contribute to our population, and therefore their creation and continuation ought to be actively encouraged.

After considerable thought, I'm against it. Partner benefits/recognition? Sure. Church ceremonies? Sure, if your church is happy with it. Civil unions? No. Marriage? No.

Announcing that he's a "metrosexual" didn't help.

What the hell? It was obviously sarcastic, since he's pretty liberal himself. He was making fun of an exaggerated stereotype, not being a bigot. When did you get so PC?

Excellent page, although calling O'Reilly a vagina is an undeserved disservice to vaginas.

That is SO much fucking more than I needed to know. Between being forced to agree with SpiderPoet, and crossdressing wrestling fans, I think I'm about to vomit. No. If you're a guy, don't EVER put anything on your face other than aftershave. Ever. I don't care if you're gay or straight or bi or whatever kink you can think of, if you're a man have the decency to look like a goddamn man. This also means that if you have long hair, get a goddamn haircut.

Wow... I pretty much agreed with almost all of SP's last post. Shit! I'm breaking out in hives!

Huh boy. Y'all sure could've fooled li'l ol' me.

How so? He did cheat on his first wife... Anyway, I'll be interested to see what tomorrow brings.

... Um... it's from The Onion.

Saddam Hussein Rules over Cell with Iron Fist "Saddam is a very powerful man with a larger-than-life presence, and when he's in that cell, there's no mistaking who's in charge," said a special-forces officer who commands the watch of Hussein at an undisclosed location in Iraq. "We gave Saddam a small bag of nuts. While he was asleep, the rats got into the nuts and ate some of them. In retaliation, Saddam caught one of the rats' young, tortured it, and left it strapped to the wall with dental floss for days. Then, after it was dead, he stuffed its severed head with nuts and paraded it around the cell to warn the other rats." "But Saddam will also be kind to the vermin and occasionally toss them an almond to fight over," the officer said. "In this way, he teaches the rats both to love and to fear him."

Like, say, trying to start a fight with the Russians at Kosovo? Fucking psychotic egomaniac... oh well, 4 down, 6 to go.

You people are hilarious. It's the French. THE FRENCH.

Take out the 12th gun I'm legally entitled to carry concealed from my underarm holster and shoot him between the eyes.

Not even in his dreams...

Difference is, Chave agrees more with that criminal's anti-American sentiments than he does with law-abiding citizens of the United States who want to preserve their constitutional rights. Hypocrites don't need to be consistent.

I disagree with you, Sass. I thought the joke I quoted was pretty darn funny.

Oh I know. That they'd deny it to their law-abiding countrymen is the sad part.

I hereby present O'Reilly with the prestigious Weasel Award. The statuette is made of high-grade tin so it's easy to bend in whichever direction the wind happens to be blowing, and represents a weasel crouched in an attitude of cringing surrender, but with fangs bared in order to bite the hand that feeds it. It is set on a flimsy base of utterly transparent plastic. Previous proud recipients include Gerhard Schroder and Jacques Chirac.

Chave has been posting in this thread; it wasn't really a revelation.

legal guns =! illegal guns Edit: Stephen beat me to it.
