Ahhh, yep. James Garner. I stand corrected. Thanks. Great movie!

D'oh! James Garner, that's his name. I should've remembered it. You're welcome...and thanks for the name. And yes, it's a great movie. It's very funny.

Her name wouldn't be Ayn would it?

a friend of mine is bisexual and a rather strong republican, basically for the financial benefits for the rich. [being a liberal] we come across this argument at least once every week; i argue that poor people would be starving on the streets if there was an absolute favor of republican beliefs but she believes in social darwinism and all that crap. then comes attack on iraq and she argues they should be annihilated because they are brainwashed wastes of life with motives to destroy.
i guess its because her parents came from russia, aways from communism and jewish persecussion, with pretty much nothing and worked their asses off into a mansion.

...no.

The idea of a homosexual Republican doesn't sound as oxymoronic as say a homosexual Catholic, but then anything's possible.

The same catholics whose priests are notorious for assraping altar boys, and whose high rama-lama denounced making priests follow the sex crime laws as too draconian?

do homosexual republicans exist do we have any here ?

if so why are you a republican considiering they don't seem the most friendly when it comes to gay rights

is it because politically being gay isn't important to you ?

has bush's efforts to make gay marriage illegal in the constitution changed how you would vote ?

Bi, Republican.

There's more to my life than just who I choose to fuck.

Bush's position doesn't change a thing, since he's FAR better than Kerry could ever be.

There are a great many people, particularly in Western Europe and North America, who regard themselves as good, practicing Catholics while rejecting the church's stance on issues like homosexuality, abortion, etc.

I have to look no further than my own mother, who is able to completely reconcile defining herself both as a Marxist and a Roman Catholic (not that rare a phenomenon in Italy or Spain). She maintains a loyalty to the church while standing in opposition to many of it's positions on social issues.

What I want to know is not how your Marxist mother reconciles herself to Catholicism but how she reconciles her Marxism to her assumed belief in God.

What does pedophilia have to do with homosexuality?

Considering it would be male-on-male pedophilia, it has EVERYTHING to do with homosexuality. Apparently the Catholics' position us that forced homosexuality is perfectly OK, but consensual homosexuality is evil. Otherwise, why would the pope be against prosecution for the pedophile priests?

Officials in the Catholic Church have been criminally negligent in a lot of these cases, yes, but that is hardly cause to condemn an entire religion and the hundreds of millions of people around the world who follow it.

Or are you saying all Catholics are automatically pedophiles? I am sure you are not, but your overheated rhetoric certainly suggests as much. You're espousing sheer bigotry, and it's as tiresome and unwelcome as bigotry against gays.

So because the church's officials have essentially stated it's perfectly OK for priests to rape little boys, I'm "espousing bigotry" through "overheated rhetoric?" Perhaps if the church's highest official wasn't denouncing the idea of prosecuting priests for crimes that anyone else would get a serious sentence for, there wouldn't be reason for these observations.
