<content:encoded><![CDATA[Anonymous free speech is protected no matter what anyone thinks about the personality of the person behind it. What SJD  does with her anonymity is a hell of a lot more than what most do with it.<br />
<br />
Bringing up anonymity as a way to try to discredit anyone because you don't like what they are saying is just stupid.  If you want to discredit someone,  make a relevant point opposing the view that is upsetting.  If you can't come up with one,  than you have learned the age old lesson that the truth hurts sometimes.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA["on the dole, in which case you are relying on others to do the work."<br />
<br />
I'm sure the above was intended to be a jab at those less fortunate, however, it is also applicable to most corporations who pay minimum wage, less than full time and no benefits.  These corporate entities rely upon the taxpayers to make up for what they deem to be not their problem.  What's amazing is they do not seem to see the unavoidable failure lying in wait as they attempt to end social assistance programs, as it is these very programs they rely upon to subsidize their penny pinching business.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA["As long as the people who are having sex are adults, I don't care what it is they do."<br />
<br />
So what you're saying is it's none of your business what they do, unless they do something you deem offensive, right? But then that contradicts what you said: "there is no such thing as an absolute morality." If there really were no such thing then how could anyone ever draw the line and decide that something is offensive? You're not making any sense.<br />
<br />
As for the parade, I didn't say that that particular one was the one where they were sodomizing in public. Your reasoning (defense) behind their purpose for parading around half-naked is shallow, once again reliant upon playing up the victim card.<br />
<br />
What's the use in discussing why I believe it's evil? Since you don't share my religious beliefs, it's pointless. I'm not trying to convert anyone.<br />
<br />
Lastly, about schools teaching kids that homosexuality is ok, that's a verifiable fact. I've already posted a couple links in a post below, but it's rather easy to look that information up one your own using a search engine. The Constitution doesn't come with age restrictions; it applies to all Americans, including children. Apparently certain public schools think that they're above Constitutional law.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The laws appear in Florida and Michigan to regress 400 to 800 years in to the past effective 2011 to 2013. MI ceased to have hearings on laws, which should be rescinded since 2011. Florida likewise as has MI, reduced the time of hte orange light or terminated it completely to run down toddlers, school kids, handicapped, elderly, wheel chair folks.  Retirees beware and exit Florida and Mi as soon as possible. Both state altered their laws to protect big business owners.<br />
Stanford, UT of TX law school professors and federalist society proclaimed bulk of US states as an 1812 to 2012 illegal, ironclad monopoly for 200-years. Vermont wants to exit the 50 states if they are not allowed to decommission nuclear reactors (not built underground: 280 globally).Air Force states we need only 331 nuclear missiles, Congress approved at $65-million each, 5,113 to be modernized. Only 2% of each $65million reaches jobs or wages on all military contracts. Congress remains "clueless" and a "stalemate" to renige on illegal laws and spending.]]></content:encoded>
