[quote]Have people forgotten how to discuss topics? Or, have people completely lost their civility on this site?[/quote] “When once the forms of civility are violated, there remains little hope of return to kindness or decency” ~Samuel Johnson Coincidentally I was sent this quote today, so I thought I'd post it. And yes I think some have, but only because once they get into a heated exchange, many lose their head. I'm guilty of it myself. (Right whip :-P )

[quote]To some extent true. We can't be robots. You can still be logically and compassionate as well. They are not mutually exclusive. When it comes to decision making, you should not base it on emotions. It makes for bad decision making quite frequently.[/quote] So indulge me, put yourself in that situation, or in a similar one.

[quote]and that's exactly what you DON'T want to do. You do not rely on emotions for truth. Emotions have a way to lead us astray. Never, never depend on your emotions for truth. Follow the truth in spite of your emotions.[/quote] If we don't use our emotions as well, then we've lost any sense of humanity. Yes, use logic and all, but also be compassionate, etc... You don't show care to your family just by using logic and whatever, you also have compassion, emotions, etc...

Oh, and a bit off track for a moment, but I just wanted to applaud you for your debating and all. I respect your opinion, even if i disagree with it, and It's been fun to debate, and to sharpen our minds.

[quote]Humans are not animals. Humans are far above animals in every way.[/quote] But humans are primates, and primates include various animals, so at the very least we are in close proximity to animals. Something else to mention, and part of me is saying I shouldnt bother given how similar you are with KFC in views, but if you acknowledge evolution, and that we evolved over time from our earlier ancestors, and that they relied on instinct, we at one point were animals. <

[quote]Knock, knock, SilentPoet... Humans are not animals. Humans are far above animals in every way. Humans have free will, operate on choice, and have intelligence. Animals operate on instinct.[/quote] But my point isn't that they're like us. The point is: If your God is almighty and powerful, and yet homosexuality occurs in the natural world, as a gene no less (Which is a pretty important building block I might add), then what can you say but hey...

[quote]Here's another piece of data that will probably raise your hackles. Empirical data show proportionately speaking, a far higher relative incidence of molestation among homosexuals in contrast to data for heterosexuals. This is true in schools, the workplace and other settings.[/quote] First off, i cannot find the quote. I googled it and checked other search engines, nothing. Secondly, please, if you can, provide the exact numbers/data/evidence. And not something that could be cons

[quote]The natural design of the body rejects homo-sex, especially male homo-sex. The rectum wall easily ruptures during the sex act which is why disease is so easily transmitted. Be honest...do you really believe this is a natural act when it destroys the biological function of the rectum? Using the rectum for sex is harmful. Empirical evidence shows that females engaging in unnatural sexual practices are nearly as damaging and their lifespan is shortened as well.[/quote] If you want t

"It's "ignored" because it isn't being portrayed as a big deal, which in reality it is. What did they know, and when did they know it?" Something else which the article doesn't say, is what were they there for? Why bother going? I honestly believe that Bush was already set on going into iraq by then. Also, but please tell me how Loca is backing her party?

It isn't even the mega stores. I worked at a local grocery store here where I live for almost a year, and I would go to bag the customer's groceries, one who had brought their cool little black or white tote bag, and I'd get a tap on the shoulder as I started to put their stuff in the bags. "Excuse me, but you have to put them in the bags we provided." Mmhmm, more than a few times I felt what you felt, but, for the sake of not losing my job, i complied. Then apologized to t

[quote]Have you ever heard the chant "We're here, we're queer, and we want your children"? So, yes, children are in the crosshairs of the homosexual agenda. They are activley seeking to have sex with children legalized. And the focus on children as sexual targets is not at the fringe of the homosexual movement. I've already stated their goals as per their platform in 1992. Then a year later, 7 demands were made at the "Gay" march on Washington that today have pretty much been met. So, t
