If you're already admitting that no-one is going to convince you that you're wrong, then you're already admitting that you are not at all open to any evidence that is presented before you, or any logical arguments that might come with it. If this is the case, you're admitting that your position has no credibility whatsoever in rational debate.
What?
What on earth are you drivelling on about?
I've heard the same arguments for years and I don't agree with them. So what more is there to say?
I'm just amazed that nobody's tried to claim its because I hate gays or something, that usually happens too.
Blagsybabes, a woman cannot sire a child, therefore a couple with two women in it cannot sire children. Go and look it up in a dictionary.
Someone presents some (new) evidence that is contrary to what you've been arguing, and the first thing you say is "oh there's no point, you're not going to change my mind." That just proves that you haven't and won't consider any evidence, and you're just going by your own predjudices. Frankly you're talking bullshit that you haven't backed up with any evidence.
And? I don't think most of his indoctrination is gone. Look at how he has been acting, things he has been doing and saying. He's sofar managed to piss off alot of Muslims, helping fuck up John Pauls work towards making the Vatican better.
He's making it go backwards to a hateful bunch of exlusionists. How rather similar to a certain other organisation he used to belong to.
Indoctrination like the HJ is hard to get rid of. It seems here, despite his Anti-Nazi parents (indeed, parents were often hated by HJ members if they had an anti-party stance, and it wa the focus of many HJ activies) he came out still quite well indoctrinated by the HJ.
Admittedly biology's not my strong point, but given that sire means
I'm kinda of interested how a woman can sire anything... A diagram would help.
What are you wittering about? He was actually only in the Hitler Youth for a short amount of time but was one of the few allowed out because he was in a seminary. It also ignores the fact that the allies managed to get rid of indoctrination quite well in millions of other Germans...
His policies have no relationship to Nazism whatsoever and he has continued the dialogue with the Jews and Catholics belief in the sanctity of life in regard to the disabled (a cousin with Downs was murdered under the Nazi's eugenics programme).
That nice tolerant "charity" the Christian Institute has come up with the following card:
It warms your heart doesn't it?
For the record, I agree with you on this (the main idea anyway), but unlike you I'm not so narrow-minded that I'll effectively say "I'm sure I could never be wrong". Given the right arguments, I could be convinced otherwise.
If your wife and you had an untimely end and your wife has, for instance, a gay brother, would you still want your children to go to a straight, unknown (couple or single person) rather than your wife's brother?
By the way, I don't believe that you hate gays at all. I am just confused as to why you think gay couples would be bad parents. Yes, you have stated that in your opinion, gay parenting is not an ideal - but you haven't said why they would otherwise be bad parents ...

A rare victory for tolerance and common sense!
Now let's hope the Catholic Church think things carefully and decides to abandon its two 2,000 year-old persecution of homosexuals once and for all.
Excellent news. I'm glad the government have had the courage of their their convictions.
Unless you feel toelreance should extend to religous freedom - obviously in some people's minds it doesn't...
You just posted it - 21 months from now is the point it stops.
So what?
I didn't know that it specifically meant male. Given that it does, what was Kermit on about?
Surely in a secular democracy governmental law should always be the law of the land?
Exactly. Argue that the law is bullshit all you want. But don't try and argue that certain people should get exemption from it because of "religious beliefs" because what's to stop anyone getting out of a law by claiming that it's against their religious beliefs?
In the meantime it is wrong and misleading to suggest that if somebody is not allowed to be prejudiced and discriminate against a certain group regarding the adoption of children, his religious freedom is being attacked. Child adoption issues have absolutely nothing to do with religious freedom or lack thereof. They are two entirely different issues.
Exactly. Next they'll be complaining about someone being denied the right to "practice their religion" by blowing up any non-believers, because some people hold that religious belief too.
Its not beyond the wit of man to put a clause into law which gives an exemption for religous bodies. Laws have lots of exemptions for religous reasons (and even some for non-religous moral reasons).
Fair enough, but when it's between human rights and religious rights one must take precedent, and in this case I believe it's been the right one.
IE I think that you are free to do something with a freedom. Yet if you have rights, you have rights.
Victory for common sense I say
It's not like the child will grow screwed up is it? Single parents can raise children, I know people who have disabilities raise children (by disability, I didn't mean Downs... But if one of the couple were in a wheelchair or something).
Hardly. No tolerance of relgious belief and no common sense in making laws which dictate how people behave. Change a culture, not a law.
TBH I think that it would be nice for them to take a note of female equality at some point.
