I've noticed that usually the most intolerant people were those that spout off about how tolerant they are and how everyone should be more tolerant. Everyone is (at least partially) intolerant. The main goal is to supress that intolerance, and to ac...  [Read More]

Their view is the one that does not infringe on other's rights. It's pretty clear why this is important in a country like the US, where not everyone is concerned about who marries whom. The view that should get government support is the one that prot...  [Read More]

It concerns itself with all civil rights, not merely those of religious people and atheists. Hm. Well, not with the civil right to disagree with another person. It's not 'against religious people' to allow homosexuals rights. That's like saying tha...  [Read More]

I'm not about to go click on Nambla's site to find out its exact legal status. There are associations that also have corporation status, even if it's an LLC and not an s-corp. Well, no, it's not on their website, it was on the wikipedia article you...  [Read More]

The ACLU defends NAMBLA and the wiki link I'm not sure how the ACLU can possibly defend an organization that explains in detail how to molest young boys. Even with their little 'disclaimer', it's astonishing that they'd defend a group that willingly...  [Read More]

Everyone has the right to speak to their personal option including the preacher. I don’t have a problem with one telling me who he/she is going to vote for and why. My problem is when they tell their congregation who they must vote for or they will...  [Read More]

They can do that now, but they lose their tax except status for doing it. Which I believe is fair. When I use to go to church I went for the lesson and not to hear the preacher’s political views. I vote the way I vote because of my beliefs and I do...  [Read More]

Why limit it to the PSP when the majority of people play it on consoles? That's what bugs me. Because the second biggest "Console" on the market is the PSP, followed by the DS. People prefer handhelds than the next-gen consoles....  [Read More]
