Point proven. You can't stop thinking about gay sex. Hmm. You might begin to question "why". :whistle:

:hug: Thanks, Shel... unfortunately, I've had FAR too much practice, when it comes to this particular topic.

The problem with your argument is... we're not talking about gays having the right to procreate with one another. That's physically impossible, as you point out. (Although, gays have plenty of sex, and gay people can still have children.) The poll, and the argument, are about gays getting...

You poor misguided creature. The notion of "preserving the sanctity of marriage" is utterly absurd. To me, it's just another example of the 'circle the wagons' mentality where "the privileged" get to say, "I have something, and YOU can't have it! It's mine, mine, ALL MINE!" Good grief...

What a silly statement. Of course it's natural, or it wouldn't be. While you might not like it to be so, homosexuality exists in nature. And the last I checked, humans are part of nature. Even for those of you who argue the point from a religious perspective, answer me this: does your God...

Welkom, en groetjes vanuit de VS! (Mijn moeder, zij komt vanuit Brugge/Bruges... en ik was in Vlissingen geboren, maar voor meer dan 25 jaar heb ik in de VS gewoont. Jammer genoeg, aangezien u kunt zien, mijn Nederlands (zoals met mijn ASL) is niet zo geweldig.) :) It is good to "meet"...

Utter lunacy. You can chant your "That is not being mean, that is being safe" mantra all you want, and claim that you only have everyone's best interests at heart... but that fact is, Heath, you're just attempting to cloak your bigotry in religious rhetoric. Yeah, I know... big surprise...

Absolutely true. Just as not all deaf people want/are for cochlear implants, the oralist method, ASL as their "sign language of choice", etc. What is important to some of us here, however, is for others to see it as a valid choice for those who DO want it. If you don't, so be it. That's...

Well, you're partially right. I DON'T really understand much of what you've written. I DO understand the part where you say "I vote NO! Agree with CyberRed!" CyberRed proclaimed that gays and lesbians aren't deserving of their own reproductive systems, and that marriage belongs to people...

Well, of COURSE you're judging, EagleCherokee63, or you wouldn't have voted, and you wouldn't have bothered posting here. That said, I must respectfully disagree with you, CyberRed, and the other "No" voters here. (Slight caveat: I agree with an earlier poster that said that government...

So American and Canadian cultures are really sub-cultures of British culture, then?

All good! Speaking for myself, no offense taken! :) You don't seem to be the malicious sort at all. Plus, my guess is we're here (reading these particular threads) because we want to understand one another, as well as ourselves.

For many uninitiated hearing people, there is complete ignorance on their part that Deaf culture even exists. I've had several conversations with hearing friends who were astounded that there was such a thing, and I've done my best to act as an effective honorary Ambassador to the Deaf...

Exactly. Several ethnic groups have their own culture (African Americans, various Asian-American groups, etc.), as well as regional cultures (southerners, New Englanders, etc.). While accents might differ among these various groups, language isn't typically a part of their cultural identity...

My sentiments, exactly. When I first read that comment (that there is no gay culture), I was immediately struck by the irony that someone from the Deaf community would say such a thing, since great pains have been undertaken to get the Hearing world to see that Deaf culture actually exists...

CONGRATS, SJCSue!! Well done, you should be proud! :dance: :dance2: :dance: :dance2: :dance:
