Does anyone else smell the smell of Communism here? It was a Godless morale by which we arrived at legalizing abortion and where is "fairness" with regard to "respecting" the baby's right to be born? Yah, I know. ANy active concern for the baby trapped in the womb being religiously motivated, violates the so-called separation of Chruch and State. We must all be operationally atheistic; at least the State must be and it is the civic duty of Catholics

So let's make criminals out of kids because they don't believe homosexuality is proper. stop using populism as arguments. You don't make kids accept homosexualy among their school by stapling them as "criminal". You do by no educating them into thinking that being homosexual is something to either be shameful of, or something wrong. When kids will discovers that absolutely is different between an heterosexual and an homosexual - no more than th

2----Religious Expression—by targeting faith groups, specifically Christians, who hold traditional beliefs on homosexuality. you could also change "traditional" with "intolerant". If church supported that blacks aren't the same people as other, would preventing them to spread that belief be that wrong? Or Jews, or any other group?

Yet, the percentages of social, physical and health problems remain proportionately the same. The median male homosexual life span is forty years. The big selling idea in the Netherlands was to allow them to marry hoping they'd live longer and their health would improve. Nope, it hasn't worked that way. We can learn much from the Netherlands in this regard. It has been officially accepted, but I would like to have the say of an homosexual dutch, to ask

hahahahah, maybe. I'll work on that. Did you know that I'm a Pastor's wife? With a congregation of about 300+ I can confidently say I'd be VERY surprised to see even one that would support the ACLU. As he said, you should meet more christian. Which mean, the one who brainwashed them should not be the same man.

So would you expect every single dollar bill and every coin in this country to be eliminated because it has "in God we trust" on it? Stupid argument, filed with as many holes as the rest of your arguments. You suppose that "In God we Trust" is christian mandatory. Fact is, we are talking about the place of religion in our public areas.. No, I take it back. In the Governement's area. The Court of Law, the Official Governement Buildings... all tha

The same can't be said for homo-sex relationships which developed from a lack of moral restraint toward social norms and fidelity. Not all, but generally this sector of the population suffer from abnormally high levels of physical and mental health problems, repeated sexual diseases, alcoholism and drug use, suicide rates, domestic abuse, decreased life spans, child abuse and molestation. Most of these social problems suffered by the gay community is be

Ok, and what if I'm walking with a friend of mine who is gay, and we both get attacked. Will it be a hate crime for attacking him, but just simple assault and battery for attacking me? Actually, if you are 2 heterosexual who are attacked by people, hitting you down while screaming "Faggot", it will be a hate crime!!!

but you can't deny that plenty of queers (using this term as has been deemed appropriate by gay friends) have been harassed, threatened, beaten, and killed just because they were gay. Yes, and people BROKE THE LAW in harassing, threatening, beating, and killing them, suspeckted. And they should pay the SAME PRICE as if they hit a straight person. However, since the gay are a peticular target for hate crime (it is certain there are some "fag

I disagree. I think the majority believe that assaulting anyone is both illegal and immoral. The offender should get the same justice meted out no matter who the individual is that got assaulted. And that's where the fallacy of hate crime laws lies. They add extra punishment based on the offender's actual or perceived opinion, feelings or thoughts toward the person who was assaulted if that person is homosexual. I would not bet a dime on this,

how wrong you are here Amy, My friend Deans {may he rest in peace} grandson, Sonny got into a fight at the age of 15 just a fist fight, BUT he made the mistake of calling his opponent a "CHINK" while fighting, he was charged with assault, and further a hate crime which added TIME to the Assault. that is what a hate crime does multiply the time you get if convicted. I will make it plainer instead of getting 30 days because he was 15 or just probation, he got a year and

Me too. I see the day coming when even speaking out against homosexuality, condemning it as immoral, will be treated as a hate crime. The public more and more seems to be accepting homosexuality as acceptable, respectable, even good. It's in most if not all of the public schools even as young as kindergarten students are being taught that it's just an alternative lifestyle. The bottom line is there will come a time when it will be only the religious types who will stan

The prosecution cannot appeal. It is called double jeopardy and is another one of those nasty amendments in the bill of rights. Except if there have been a vice of procedure. If the court was judged hostile to the victim, I think it qualifies I tend to think not. If you are not going to convict someone of the real crime, you are not going to convict them because of an additional charge that in essence says "I dont

that's a whole lot of supposition. but maybe you might want to gamble YOUR FREEDOM on the off chnnce of getting a jury that thinks like you do. If you are going to by tried in your community, sourrounded by the people who goes to the same church than you, and hear the same speeches about how Homosexuality is a sin, a deviance.. Than I think you didn't had much to gamble. Not to forget the policemen who turn a blind eye to violence again

If they are going to let them walk in the first place due to percieved biases, telling them it was "a hate" crime, since they are already biased against the victims, is not going to sway them. No, but it can lock the defendant of such hate crime into an undefendable position. The prosecution could have more ground for appeal, if they think the offendant was judged unfairly by his peers. Reverse the field. If someone we

If there is a predisposition to allow a perpertrator to walk, slapping on additional charges are not going to change their minds. Some predisposition are open to interpretation. Slapping more charges on such perpretor will justly make it less likely that a population brainwashed by itolerance against homosexual won't allow someone to get out unpunished. Hell, these supplemental charges may even completely remove any way out of jail because of bi

There is the possibility that is some area of America, assaulting an homosexual, while illegal, is not considered immoral by the majority. Homosexualy, while legal, is considered immoral by the majority. Which means that if someone assaulting an homosexual is tried by a jury of his peers, he has a lot more chance to get out of the loop. Religious group could pressure the jury into findind the smallest technicality to allow the assaulter walk away scott free, just like white people who k

Africa being the exception, of course. Europeans pretty much fucked up the whole region with their colonies.

I don't want just a cloaking device available on ships. The point of my post was about having a whole "stealth" mechanic in the game, in which "cloaking devices" would simply sky-rocket the stealth value of a said-ship. But having a stealth mechanic would ask for highly-developped sensor-ships to prevent any sneak attack. It would allow small hit-and-run strike forces moving around the ennemy territory. It would give a purpose to have patrols (since range is a big factor, if you disperc
