Americans our day in time believe that "freedom" refers to complete access to whatever they want and wish for. The truth is, the founding fathers created the government as the Bible being the ultimate source of law. The Constitution was based on Biblical principles, which is why the liberals and democrats in Capitol Hill are doing their best to ratify each and every ammendment.

Complete access to whatever they want and wish for? That doesn't much relate to homosexuality. By that logic, we get what we get and we should not seek what we want. And the constitution is very un-biblical. Sure, some ideas may have been taken from it, but that does not mean that the bible is the backbone of our government nor is it a referance for our government to follow.

Pornography is a pretty scummy thing, but it is not evil. People should have the right to do whatever they want, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. When you start taking away the right to free speech on issues like this, you start to fall into a rut. Look at countries like Afganistan - their lives are based entirely on propoganda and highly-biased news from the government. With not freedom of press, things start to go downhill. And not everyone feels guilty about lust. It is a natural thing, and however people want to deal with it is entirely their business.

Heheheh... support, no. Use, yes. And if someone is stupid enough to light up, then they can kill themselves. Darwinism.

Bush is a poor speaker, but he sure gets his point across. Gore is a Bore, and is a poor speaker. Better yet, I never could understand the half of what he was trying to get across...

Gore is a Bore and a poor speaker? How can you call him a poor speaker as an insult when you just called your guy a poor speaker? And he's a politician. He is running for president. He was vice president. I don't think that what we need is a burnt-out, drunk-off-his-ass party animal in office. We cannot expect our politicians to be interesting and entertaining people. Though, I have found some of Bush's speeches quite entertaining.
Just sharing my political views. I think this is interesting, but will probably be locked as it is more suited to B&B; or something. The problem: What if we want debates and discussions that are non-EV, but don't want to deal with B&Bers;?
