From the standpoint of logic it can be argued that if one person can have love for two parents equally or for two siblings equally then the same should hold for two boyfriends or girlfriends equally.

Umm, my dad was my favorite parent as we had similar interests.  My older brother was my favorite for the same reason, not to mention my younger brother was a massive tattle tale.

This compersion is similar to the joy that parents feel when their children get married

Umm, you mean the evil parents that ridicule their child's partner for every and anything?  I'm sure you know the stereotypes about mother in laws.  If you don't, then you need to watch some movies and/or tv shows.  There are countless ones to choose from.

as such restrictions can be used to replace trust with a framework of ownership and control.

You said that about monogamy, but I'd say it's the complete opposite.

Most of the couples I know that have "open" relationships, one of the partners only grudgingly agreed to it.

One partner wanted to whore, while the other wanted a monogamous relationship, but only gave in to make their slut of a partner happy while making themselves miserable.

The precedent is already set though, with herpes back in the 80s.  You have to disclose, even if not asked.  So I don't see how HIV would be under different rules.

Even if there wasn't the precedent, people that are infected with a disease should always tell their partner before hand and use safer sex.

I played the demo of "The Run" and that made me decide not to buy it.

I'm guessing that's why so many games no longer have demos, because they let us know which games are rubbish.

NOTE:  I don't know you in real life, nor have I had any contact with you here.  This means my comments can only be generalizations.

A lot of people want relationships.  In fact, I'd say that most do.

You have to consider the environments you are searching for this relationship.  Night clubs are not really the places to find one, just a fuck behind a dumpster (skip).

Another obvious answer is; how desperate are you for a relationship?  That shows through as well.  Oddly, though not surprisingly, you are more likely to get admirers when you are in a relationship than when you are looking for one.  This is because you aren't in the desperate search mode.  Don't be the woman (not calling you a woman, just using the scenario) that turns up on her first date wearing her wedding dress and yammering on about all the baby names she wants for her kids?

Here are some direct comments after looking at your website;

None of your pictures have you smiling, at least not real smiles.  That's a turn off.

You should tidy up your website.  Sadly, people will use any typos to automatically label you as "thick" and therefore dismiss you.

You seem hostile toward what you call the "gay scene".  Most gays are not part of the media created gay scene, like you see in QAF or other series and movies.  The real gay scene is pretty harmless and vanilla; ie going to movies and dinner with a group of friends.

You are 39, but you want someone a minimum of 4 years younger than you?  This is so the 2 of you can experience life together?  I don't see what life experiences you and an 18yo can do together that you can't do with a fellow 39yo.  You want a young boyfriend, that is all there is to it.  Experiencing life together isn't a real issue.  I'm sure you'd agree if you were being honest.

Yet they deported that Australian man that lived with his long time American lover who had AIDS.

Soloway based the request to dismiss the case on Alcota's marriage to her U.S. citizen spouse, Cristina Ojeda, her deep ties to her community, the absence of any adverse factors and her activism against the Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law in 1996.

That is an odd stance to take.

Since I'm against the "war on drugs" (not for drug use reasons, but rather we should legalize and tax drugs), I can start doing heroin and the courts won't mind?

Sadly, gay animals are treated better than gay humans.

However, Obama has stopped short of backing gay marriage, saying only that his personal views on the matter are evolving.

Why does he insist on repeating this tired fucking old lie?!

He used to support gay marriage, that is until he decided to run for the US Senate. That is when he threw us under the bus to gain votes in the conservative southern half of the state.

His stance on gay marriage evolved as a political ploy to get votes, nothing more.

This concept has been proven several times.

Black centric African nations aren't doing themselves any favors.

The reason AIDS spreads so quickly in black centric African nations is that they have the insane concept that if your brother dies, regardless of cause, you marry his wife(s) and have lots of sex with them.

As a gay man, I resent my hard earned tax money going to African nations that hate me and my kind.  Sadly, that supposedly makes me a racist.

It's ironic that they are not forced to hold them if they don't want to, but they demand that churches that want to hold them can't.  The Quakers, MCC and many other churches fully support full gay marriage and want to do civil partnerships, but the religious nazis won't let them.

Religious freedoms are only for those that hate gays.

As we know, hating any other group is generally frowned upon by the public and illegal.

I've been playing Skyrim on xBox 360 since 2 days before release.

Bethesda seems to have forgotten what "quality control" means.  Many quests are screwed up in some way (Red Eagle quest keeps partially coming back whenever you get the book, crimson nirnroot quest doesn't count them properly as I have 38 but the game says I only have 12, etc, etc, etc), the graphics are wonky in a lot of places (talking to people that are nothing more than 2 short sticks,  or dead dragons that are pitch black of the abyss).  On top of this, quest items, many that weight massive amounts, aren't being removed from your inventory and can't be removed because they are quest items.  I have about 80lbs (or 80 kilos, however you want to view it), and growing, of quest items taking up space that could be used for carrying loot.

We (360 users) just got our first patch (3mb) and all it did was fix 2 problems that I didn't even know existed.  When I say "I didn't even know existed", I'm including all the people on the internet that have been talking about the game too.

I was disappointed in it as well.

They definitely were going for the mass market, rather than the die-hard Dr Who franchise fans.  I guess that's what happens to British stuff when it crosses the pond.

I wonder how much of it has to do with the BBC pushing Russell T Davies (creator/writer of QAF and many others) out of Dr Who, even though he's the one that brought it back and made it the massive success that it is.  From that, he created Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures.  The Sarah Jane Adventures sadly died with Elisabeth Sladen earlier this year.  The BBC can't take Torchwood away from Russell, but they do own all the rights to Dr Who.

As a side note, the Red Dwarf movie would have been made years ago, IF the creators would have agreed to do a total recast.  Hugh Grant was to play Lister.  I don't remember the rest of the recast, but Hugh Grant as Lister really sticks in my mind.

The bill passed Tuesday comes nearly a month after British prime minister, David Cameron, threatened to withhold aid from nations violating gays rights, sparking outrage in Africa where leaders interpreted it as "colonial" display of power.

If you remember the other article about this, it won't change how much money they will get, just which account the money comes from.

I'd do weighted exercises, on a machine, not free weights, that targets the other areas.

Stationary bikes, as long as you aren't swaying side to side as  you do it, and treadmills doing fast walking is good.

I added membership level; ie Lurker, Newbie, Hero, etc.

It shouldn't matter since I already included membership type; member, moderator, etc.

So no one should be denied if you are a registered member here and logged in.

Please check again to see if that is still the case.

If the gay element were removed from the case, I'm sure the jurors wouldn't have any problems finding him guilty of 1st degree murder.

EDIT:  I'd love to see the feds come in and charge him with bringing a gun on school grounds, giving him another 10 years and commiting a felony on school grounds (usually used for drug dealing, but hey) giving him another 25 years.

“religious liberty”

What does a gay couple getting married have to do with their "religious liberty"?!

Archbishop Dolan also came prepared to answer questions about the sexual-abuse scandal at Penn State University, which has reminded so many observers of the Catholic Church’s own abuse scandal. He said that the accusations against a former university football coach were a reminder that sexual abuse is a universal problem that affects most institutions.

But name any other institution that "institutionally" refuses to turn the child molester in.

Nevertheless, the bishops remain a forceful political lobby, powerful enough to nearly derail the president’s health care overhaul two years ago over their concerns about financing for abortion

That' religion for you.  They'd rather no one have health care than for anyone to have an abortion.

How does Bryan Fischer of AFA defend when people like my former preacher gets busted for drugs and banging young girls then?

Is he saying that heteros should be banned from adopting too?

As always, the site rules apply.
