    Sex offender in neighborhood?

    The other problem with vigilantism is that it doesn't only effect the victim, but the family that, despite his/her convictions, still care for that person. Vigilantism is brouht on by ignorance and an over indulged sense of self-righteousness.

    Sex offender in neighborhood?

    I would mind my own business for several reasons... 1) no one knows the man's case or the evidence against him. More sex offender cases get plead whether the accused is guilty or not. 2) No one knows when the crime occurred. This could have been 10 years ago and he could have 25 years of...

    Should sex offenders be able to play (and win) the lottery?

    The problem with this is people see sex offender and automatically think the worst. People who don't know the story or weren't there for the trial suddenly think they know it all and go on some self-righteous rampage with pitchforks and torches. My boyfriend is serving time in prison for GSI...

    What are your cat's favorite toys?

    In Izzy's younger days, he was most fond of attacking my feet while I was sleeping. He'd play with any kind of loose string and adores my sister's teddy bear yorkie. Now that he's older he really doesn't get into the whole play time, but when I get the chance to visit my parents' (He's there...

    Homosexuality is a Choice: You are not "Born" Gay

    It must be so nice to be able to choose to just shrug off your orientation and do something else. What's the trick? I mean, I would kill to be straight. Of course I have never been able to rise to the occasion for a woman... ever, nor have I ever found the female form sexually attractive...

    Oh no, she said she chose to be gay

    Just as there is no proof that anyone is born gay, there is no proof they are born straight either so I don't know why you are even making such an assertion.

    Homosexuality is a Choice: You are not "Born" Gay

    I would say that there is no evidence that it actually works and ex-gay ministries have even said that the success rate is minimal. I would say that most psychiatric organizations with any validity disagree with your assessment and even suggest that reparative therapy is damaging. I would...

    Oh no, she said she chose to be gay

    If you're bisexual, you're bisexual.

    Oh no, she said she chose to be gay

    Honestly, I think the whole 'choice' debate is lead by people who have a limited understanding of the complexities within the realm of sexuality and the religious who can't fathom why anyone could or would be gay. As far as Cynthia Nixon 'choosing' to be gay, I would put my bottom dollar on her...

    Having a Baby outside of Marriage?

    Simply put, it isn't my business to judge the morality of another person's circumstances and choices. It is their life and their decision. Just be glad they didn't choose abortion.

    Humans or Animals

    Perhaps I'm just different in thinking that I, as a mammal on this earth, am no more important or special than any other life form: dog, fish, bird, insect, snake, etc.. Everything has a purpose. Besides, superiority isn't measured by intelligence and if we're going by the success of a...

    Humans or Animals

    Humans are animals (and children are simply feral) so I picked animals since it covers all bases.

    the legalization of same-sex-marriage

    Well there is also merit for polygamy in both the cultures of today and those of the distant past. I don't know what conclusion you are looking for...

    the legalization of same-sex-marriage

    I never said that the mere belief that homosexuality is wrong is intolerant, but supporting laws restricting or limiting the rights of homosexuals clearly, at least to me, is very much on the intolerant side. I don't agree with a lot of non-harmful things, but I also don't try to create laws...

    the legalization of same-sex-marriage

    Also, coming out of the closet isn't choosing to be gay. It is choosing to throw off the shackles of a life fraught with worry over who will find out and what they'll think of you, whether they'll still be your friend, mother, father or sibling. It's choosing freedom and life over a lifetime...
