As someone who has pretty well kept tabs on the movement, from the time they were proudly calling themselves Teabaggers(and I was dying laughing), there are two varieties of Tea Party politicians. One, the stupid ones, the blindly violent, ignorant, and obviously completely not at fault for what any of their rhetoric invokes ones. Two, the unfortunate ones, who thought they could actually accomplish something from a third party, and don't have the good sense to run screaming from the lot of idiots they threw in with. If you're a Tea Partier and you have sane goals, run for the hills and start something else, because the moment someone attached a bunch of tea bags in a corporate board room to protest taxes it was quite over. The tricorn hats with tea bags stapled to them were a bad sign as well.
Since Chris has made it clear that he does not want posts about American politics in SB2. I responded at length to your post in SB1. You are welcome to argue it there. It's probably too late for me to remember the house rules, but whatthehell, I try. BTW: I won't be reading any responses to this post, so if you are actually interested in a discussion rather than the yammer that some folks seem incapable of rising above, you'll have to follow me over there.

Why should I waste my time introducing you to CP? You aren't a programmer, you make no contribution to any forum except those where you post your far-left rants, and if you were are all interested in making a contribution to this site or actually being a member of the community, you'd know what I was talking about.

You do nothing but waste your time with your sad excuse for trolling. If you find spending your days trolling this board rewarding, more power to you. I chose to do other things with my life.

pussy. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I would welcome your pointing me to the study that proves that there is a gay gene. (I'm sure that an awful lot of parents would love to be able to test for gayness in the womb in order to rectify the error before it's too late.) Here's a clue: Researchers in this field, those without an agenda, believe that we are born just plain sexual - not homo or hetero. How our sex drive is channeled is a function of nurture at least as much as nature, except in very rare instances of some kind of endocrine malfunction where physiologically the subject is, in the vernacular, a chick with a dick or a stud with no pud.

Pretty sure that the are hundreds and perhaps even thousands of attributes that are genetic in origin for which there is absolutely no genetic test. Your response would seem to tend to suggest that because such a test does not exist that it means that those genetic attributes are not in fact genetic either.

Please provide a link. I would like to read up on that.

Ravel is a queer as a three dollar bill - therefore since Michele Bachmann's husband makes his living proving to gays that it's something they can be cured of, he hates her guts. Of course, at 17 and never having lived in the U.S., he actually knows little about American politics and less about Bachmann, but then he doesn't have to.

1. He's queer. 2. Michelle Bachman's husband makes his living deprogramming gays. 3. Ravel hates her guts. 4. He's 17. 5. He's never lived in the U.S. 6. He knows little about American Politics. 7. He knows less about Bachmann. If one of those statements is incorrect, I'll beg his pardon. Until then, :zzz:

I never promised you that I would shut up just because you realized what an ass you were being about having been thrown out of Soapbox 1. But I'll tell you what: I don't spend any time in the Backroom. Go hang out there with your boyfriend, Eric, and you won't have to read anything I write, ever. Or maybe you could ask Chris to create a special forum for gays, lesbians and transsexuals.

As you have proved over and over again. However, I have twice been dragged back into this thread after having reenabled get emails. For some reason, I don't seem to be able to ignore insults once I've read 'em. It's a failing, I know. My point is that I was leaving the boy alone and would have continued to do so, if you hadn't stuck your nose in. I am again disabling emails and so you can have the last word knowing that I'll never see it. I have also advised Chris that I think the entire thread should be dumped into the back room. The thread veers back and forth between personal insults (including yours) and discussions of American politics. which sometimes seems to be an Australian national pastime rivaling soccer.

Right for deleting my account because I down voted him? Is that how it works? Throw out those who disagree, those who criticise? The only rules I broke were those of the mobocracy. People put those kinds of rules up and I get smashing, Its just the way I am. :)

So, a researcher who believes that a tendency to homosexuality is genetically determined, has an 'agenda'? And, of course, a researcher who believes that solar activity has a greater effect on the earth's climate than does CO2 must have an 'agenda'. As must one who believes the contrary. What an 'agenda' driven world we live in.

Although in this case he IS wrong about point 2: "Michelle Bachman's husband makes his living deprogramming gays." Firstly, it cannot be done, at least not as human society currently stands. Not with prayers, not with Bible passages, not with 'Christian counselling'... Secondly, since Oakman finds reality unconvincing, and since he's so comically supportive of the Bachmanns, Marcus Bachmann himself has denied that that's what they do there.

Rather as Mr Gladstone[^] attempted to "deprogramme" prostitutes[^] in the mid-nineteenth century. He was an amateur, though, and his motives were much impugned. When one is a professional "deprogrammer", one's motive is up front - MONEY - and one's character thus remains untainted.

The key word is "belief" If any researcher in any field has a belief and then selects data, or creates it wholesale, in order to "prove" his belief then he is no scientist, he is a hack. I am quite sure that there are researchers who believe that sexuality is determined genetically, and those who believe that it is determined totally by environment. The ones I think should be doing the research are the ones who don't have beliefs, simply an open mind. I, for one, have no idea, what makes someone homosexual. Equally, I have no idea whether we are actually in a period of global warming or not. I, really don't care whether someone is a homosexual, though I despise whiny little queens and butches who run around making their sexual preference the be-all and end-all of their existence. And it seems to me that if we are dealing with global warming, we need to do what we can to adapt to it rather than use it as an excuse to transfer wealth from the West to the East.

Actually I formulated a disliking for Michele Bachmann long before I knew what her incompetent "pray-away-the-gay" quack husband did for a living. Homosexuality cannot be 'cured', and I could post many scientific journal articles supporting this, but that would be a waste of my time considering how intellectually lazy you are.

OK then, tell me what I am missing out on not being in such a privileged position as you are. Are there intelligent things Michele Bachmann says that miraculously never leave your country? Or do you have to be a pompous Randroid before they sound reasonable?
