		<description>I had a look Leijah, what a laugh!

I love Mr. Cowans line about evolution &quot;Why should I believe it; I can think for myself&quot;

Talk about a contradiction in terms! What a buffoon.</description>

		<description>You should read the comments at the bottom of that &quot;oxytocin&quot; link.  Funniest thing I&#039;ve read all day - the original poster is getting crucified and doesn&#039;t even recognise it!</description>

Yes, we will seek the council of reformed alcoholics scribbling on a second-rate blog as a paragon of wisdom.... not.</description>

		<description>Village Drinks founder Neil Spring told PinkNews.co.uk: “I’m really very proud to host this lively debate about the issue of equality.

“I think that Melanie is a force to be reckoned with. It’s really good for gay people to have the chance to question her; even though I’m sure that her answers won’t satisfy everyone.”

Really? What profound insight. How inspirational!

		<description>Simon Murphy - I agree that any religion is a &quot;cancer&quot; on both individuals and a nation, but one must be careful to not confuse religion with ethnicity. You say that &quot;The whole idea of a &#039;jewish state&#039; is as sinister as an &#039;islamic state&#039; when you think about it&quot;, which of course it is - if you are referring to Judaism and Judaists rather than Jews. A Jewish State can be secular. I imagine that the prolonged adherence of Jews to Judaism probably accounts for the Judaistic influence in the affairs of the &#039;secular-democracy&#039;; but no more than the Christian influences in Europe or particularly America.

A Jewish State can have no religious affiliation, thus making it diametrically opposed to an Islamic State based wholly on religion.</description>

		<description>Simon Murphy: &quot;Unfortunately Israel has perverted the original meaning of zionism into a statewide campaign of land-theft and apartheid that their spurious claims of &#039;security&#039; do not justify.&quot;

I just don&#039;t agree. Bandying around words such as &quot;apartheid&quot; and &quot;land-theft&quot; clearly have no bearing in reality - unless one subscribes to the Marxist views of the Guardian and its far-left ilk - and just spur on idiotic views like that of Brian Burton, who portray Israel as a menacing warstate (probably along with America LOL) and lead people like him to hold and proclaim racist views such as his &quot;joke&quot;:

&quot;My Married Jewish friends Rachael and Bernard won the Lottery and Rachael said to her husband: &quot;But Bernard, what about all the begging letters?&quot; and Bernard said, &quot;Keep sending them dear, keep sending them.&quot;&quot;

Brian Burton is quite disgusting.</description>

		<description>Mike,
Promiscuity in my long experiance from 1960, has been on the mind of an awful lot of Gay cruises. Mind you, that is alright in itself as long as the promiscuios realize there is usually a price to pay. HIV/AIDS is once terrible price. Cruising for Gay sex is nothing to do with Gay romance and most are never sexually satified anyway. We all learn just a little in the passage of time, a lot of Gays lean nothing though.</description>

		<description>One of the arguments put forward when having a go at us is that we are too promiscuious.  So those of us who live in a monogomous relationship want to marry each other and set up a stable, formal and legal relationship just like anyone else. That is not undermining society, it is showing a clear sign to the rest of society that being gay is not all about rampant sex lives and  hedonism!</description>

		<description>Rob, first off mine was a quick search on Pink News for that article I remember reading, that&#039;s why my comment was that short, to point out how easy it was, you want more or better evidence look at Pumpkin&#039;s comment.

Re-red the comments after yours, couldn&#039;t find one that told you to hush, please say if I missed one but from what I could see, nope. So stop with PC, freedom of speech card, it&#039;s rubbish now if you want to discuss this like intelligent adults:

The problem with your point is the fact you say same sex couple shouldn&#039;t be able to adopt which is just completely discrimative, straight couples can without screening to make sure they are 100% ideal with the &quot;perfect balance&quot;, the dad didn&#039;t cry at Titanic and the mother never watches sports and yet you want to stop a same sex couple for not being this &quot;balance&quot;.

And what about a single pregnant women, her husband dies, what should we do? forced abortion, forced adoption? the poor baby wont have a balance so it&#039;s only fair to take the baby away from the grieving widow, or according to you it would be.

And then you ignored my comment earlier, what about the feminine guy thing? I am a feminine guy, what if I met a &quot;normal&quot; guy, wouldn&#039;t we be entitled to looking after a kid? with your logic we would be more than the single mother from the above paragraph, we could have her kid.

Please reply, I am quick sick of the delusional arrogant idiots who completely skip past my arguments, if you truely believe what you say then you would have no problem replying to the problems I brought up about it, if you don&#039;t reply your good as saying your wrong.</description>

		<description>Since 1948, fortress Isreal has now become agressive Isreal. Attack seems to be at the forfront of their defence programme. In the six day war for instance, Isreal devistated Ejypt&#039;s Air Force on the ground before the enemy had a chance to gather all their resorces. So, since Isreal had air superiority and a weapon the size of a suitcase that could be opperated by two men to destroy emeny Tanks. Isreal will never become a passive nation and everyone has had to learn to live with them. We in the UK had a similar problem !939 to 1945, we got over it with a little help from our friends and we have been agressive towards quite a few other countries ever since. This has left us open to internal attacks from Islamic terror units living and working here in our supposedly secure homeland. This Melanie Phillips is not a nice person but I feel safer with her than I would with an Islamic person.</description>

		<description>Vulpus_Rex,
Butt Naked? how common, surely you would wear your Eton top hat? It may be a hung parliament you know. Liverpool is not where I reside. Netley Abbey in Hampshire rather. We do have an Abbey that Cromwell knocked about a bit. My MP is a Liberal Democrat Chris Hune and I vote for him at every election. While we have this horendous two party system dogging the nation, people like you and me will always be indulging in political fistycuffs. Still Vulpus, I don&#039;t dislike you, only your political party!</description>

		<description>No 39: Voidal: &quot;Zionism is as morally right as &quot;gay rights&quot; in that Zionism is a belief in a homeland for Jews (religious and secular).&quot;

Indeed no-one can deny that jewish people deserve a homeland and that homeland is Israel. However their right to a homeland does not supersede the right of Palestinians to have their own fully functioning state. Unfortunately Israel has perverted the original meaning of zionism into a statewide campaign of land-theft and apartheid that their spurious claims of &#039;security&#039; do not justify. 

The whole idea of a &#039;jewish state&#039; is as sinister as an &#039;islamic state&#039; when you think about it - especially when you see how the religious jews in Israel are growing in influence and are now trying to impose their religious rules on everybody in the country regardless of whether they follow these rules or not - companies and supermarkets being forced to close on sabbath; civil marriage being illegal for both straight and gay people etc.

Israel is a country with religious roots. Therefore it is blatantly obvious that it behaves irrationally and without respect for people of different beliefs. That is the cancerous influence of any religion which is not kept firmly within its box and allowing the religion to pervert the secular democracy. Look at the US for furher evidence of the cancerous influence of religion in the Prop 8 campaign.
Melanie Phillips is a vicious racist and homophobe.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Er… Pimpkin, Either you don&#039;t read what I say, or you are mistaking me for someone else. Where in this thread have I mentioned political correctness? I rarely do, and NEVER say &quot;gone mad&quot;.
I avoid clichés like the plague.  

I suspect you are referring to &quot;Rob&quot;. &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, damn it. Sorry about that, I was indeed referring to Rob (comment 27), I just saw your post directly above mine and that &quot;N&quot; slipped in without me thinking. Hopefully Rob realised I was talking to him. I know you two are different people because I remember how confusing it was last time the two of you were commenting on the same issue. ;)</description>
