Vote: no for same sex marriage
Hey man, I got my ring in a Happy Meal!
You are really sexy when you are forceful......Easy, Tiger.
Mr.Mohamed- Sufi is one of the nicest understanding folks one can ever find. Btw did you read my last post addressed to you? Please let me know if I need to be more clear then I will give it another try.
Thanks CW - that really meant a lot
You are an Angel 
Don't worry - I think that there is a glimmer of understanding between Mohamed and myself! A long way to go, but compromise is a long processSir,
Sufi was just mentioning figuratively "angel". FYI I am a happily married woman to a nice man.I am not gay - but I have absolutely no problem with people who are. It is a non-issue to me - I try to treat everybody equally, regardless of sexuality, religion or colour.
Countrywomen is truly beautiful, but I regard her as my 'little sister' more than anything elseI am truly honored to be your little sister. Flowers for my dearest brother.
Hi Lita

CW - You make me blush
MM- Life is pretty hectic after marriage. I have more responsibilities and loving it most of the times (well there are some times when I feel that life was a lot more peaceful being single)
Fisker - F%&k Off, you spamming little gobshite
Nothing happens to you, Mohamed, but the fact that he inserted his link about 80 times is a little excessive. If we are not harsh on the spammers, the forums will soon fall apart.
I have seen it happen on many other sites - you cannot have a good discussion because every other post is a link
Good stuff - they will remove it. I am not sure what time it is in San Francisco, but they will get around to it during office hours
I think that we have been here before, and we disagree - therefore, we must find something that we can agree about
Do you like cricket, football or any other sports?I like that - I support a team called Preston North End - I do not know if you have ever heard of them!
Where is your ancestry from - are you American or are your roots in another land?Egypt are a very good side - African Cup of Nations 2008
Al-Ahly - a very successful side (I checked that out on wikipedia
)As discussed previously, we disagree upon the gay thing.
As for football, I watched the final - it was a great match In fact, the whole tournament was a joy to watch.
I am looking forward to 2010 - it should be an interesting world cup.
Love is a beautiful thing - but that is a bridge too far
Kinda like imagining Pest's Momma - too much information.I agree GT, and Sufi you're not helping in the encouragement department. Hold onto your visuals for a while and let them get better acquainted. It's not your business at the end of the day. Have another ouzo and involute into the possibilities.
We are trying to appreciate a truly wondrous tale of love against the odds - shove your car insurance up your arse
My god tells me that moustaches like that are only worn by latent homosexuals.
Have you ever felt attracted to another man?
Did it disturb you to have sexual feelings for another man?
Because it is OK really. We all understand. And you do not need to attack others because of it.
You have no need to fear AIDS from another man unless you actually share bodily fluids. It is not like catching a cold.
Oh ? Sorry.
Just so we are clear - you think sex between consenting adults is wrong, sinful, dangerous etc.
Your opinions seem to come from your stupid religion - at least judging from what you have said previously.
So it is OK for you to attack people's sexual orientation - but not OK for me to attack your religion - which is garbage.
Although - I do not see how this is a personal attack.
I just think your hypocritical, judgmental religion is rubbish.
No attack on you personally.
I do not have a religion. I think they are all garbage - because they produce people like you.I did no such thing.
Like I said - you are just here to fight - that is what your religion does.
I follow lots of rules. One of which is "live and let live."
You should try it.
And you did not answer my earlier questions -
Are you ashamed that you have sexual feelings for men?
Because it really is all right.
Hey tonymac! While I agree with what you are saying "sexual preference" isn't the correct terminology, the term "sexual orientation" should be used. Additionally, it isn't correct to say "choices of sexual partners." I know your intentions are there and are very well appreciated by me.
People have different beliefs as to the origin of sexual orientation, but some terms clear up confusion.I don't think you're very well educated on a great many topics regarding sexuality, disease transmission, or disease awareness.
Here's a figure from the 2008 Report on the AIDS epidemic from the UN.
You can read the rest of the report here: http://www.unaids.org/en/KnowledgeCentr … report.asp
Please do some research and change your ignorant views.
However you still did not answer my question regarding the transmission. Let me number them for you, then you can respond accordingly.
1) You made these statements: "And also if you have AIDS or HIV; no one around is safe, and anyone could catch it; so, anyone like to have that." and asked me, "so, if you have a friend working with you or living with you has such disease; you are safe to contact and be near from him/her? "
I answered I would be safe. Now that I have explained and hopefully you understand how HIV is transmitted, why do you feel that knowing a gay person will put you at risk for HIV?
2) I already agreed that HIV is a high risk disease in the gay community. However, being gay does not mean you will have HIV, and being straight does not mean you cannot contract it. There are several diseases that are more prominent among certain demographics. So why do you believe HIV has been formed out of a punishment for being gay?
Ok. Now here are the rules. Answer these questions without any religious references. Be complete and as grammatically correct as possible.
Thanks!

0Ah! Mark has jumped into this fray.
Sometimes the approach is absolutely needed, . Well I have to go to work now. Ya'll take care. Happy arguing! Mohamad I'll check your response when I get back.
Still not sure what AIDS has to do with same sex marriages.
Did he ever answer the question?
One too many religious nuts in this discussion for my taste.
Spiderpam/Mohamed- It is a urban legend (myth) that blacks(especially African American) + homosexual men= AIDS. There are countless studies that have proven that Aids is primarily present in Heterosexual men/women. I don't know except for Sufi there is hardly anybody else who is able to get the point across here.
Mr.Mohamed,
Sir on the contrary what I said was that there are such stereotypes which may prove to be harmful in respecting each human being irrespective of there race, color, gender and sexual orientation. The reason I resorted to that equation was based on the previous statement by you (where you tried that approach which I felt may help me to similarly convey the point) and also Spidarpam's earlier statement together may lead one to incorrect conclusions. Btw when you say "approve" (do you subconsciously associate with those who agree with your view)? I already tried to explain earlier too but I guess I am not capable enough hence I already had spent way more than what I bargained for in explaining my position. Anyway let us all learn to live and let live.
PS: I removed the color fonts which aren't necessary for this conversation. I wish you the best and have a great day
Yeah earnest, pretty much. If he was one of my students, I would have failed him and excused him from my class
