Actually, Ake, I agree with you. The reason I've gone after Firth the way I have, is because he lies, twists and spins the truth, to further corrosion of the nuclear family, both in his personal life, and whatever influence he thinks he's peddling on here...and I find that destructive not only to, first the family, but also ennobling horrible standards and behavior, as if personal responsibility should be replaced with political diaper changing....the political agendas will NEVER replace, nor should ever be expected to replace family, nor family structure.
When counseling a couple, or a family, the counselor can usually spot which party is the source of discontent. They, no matter how slick they may avoid being found out, ALWAYS give themselves away. Men have different 'methods' than women, and this guy is a classic! Always 'justifying' bad behavior, and excuses for neglect...NEVER admitting to a screw up...it's usually always 'the other person made me do it' or I had no choice'..By the way, when counseling, homosexuals have their 'tip-off' as well, and very ofter, it has NOTHING to do with an expressed desire, for sex with a same gendered person!!...and here it is, and I've posted it before...THE tip-off, that a male(usually), is a homosexual, or has homosexual tendencies(and you can see it in some of the posts), is emotional immaturity....and their is a reason for that...and it RARELY comes from birth....HOWEVER, those that DO have 'inclinations' from birth, has to do more with the relationship with the mother's emotional state, in regards to the father, or even men, in general. This, in turn, sets up the receptors in the fetus's nervous system, as well as 'feeding' the emotions, frustrations, hostility, resentments and so on, being as they are sharing the same bodily systems.
It has NOTHING to do with genetics, and only the homosexual community claims that it does. Scientists, though influenced to look there, still have NOT found it...only 'markers' that seems to intersect on one particular gene....and even that, is on a miniscule percentage of homosexuals who claim it was from birth. The rest of them enthusiastically jump onto that bandwagon, as if it even remotely applies to them....and then the politicos scream bloody murder, claiming that it applies to all of them. It really is much ado about nothing, trying to cover their real emotions....but then, emotionally mature people CAN admit to their real emotions...can't they?

Regards Ake!
