02 Mar 13 - 12:14 PM (#3485498) Subject: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: TIA From Science Daily: "There is no valid scientific basis for denying same-sex couples the right to legal marriage, or to deprive them of considerable benefits of the institution, according to legal briefs filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by the American Psychological Association and other leading mental health associations." "The briefs cite empirical scientific evidence that demonstrate that "homosexuality is a normal expression of human sexuality, is generally not chosen and is highly resistant to change." Likewise, "there is no scientific basis for concluding that gay and lesbian parents are any less fit or capable than heterosexual parents, or that their children are any less psychologically healthy and well-adjusted," according to the briefs." "Joining APA in filing the Windsor and Perry briefs were: the American Academy of Pediatrics; American Medical Association; California Medical Association; American Psychiatric Association; American Psychoanalytic Association; and National Association of Social Workers. Also joining the Windsor brief were: the New York City and New York state chapters of the National Association of Social Workers and the New York State Psychological Association. Also joining the Perry brief were the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy; the California Chapter of NASW and the California Psychological Association." Science Daily |

That's the rather inconvenient thing about science. Because scientists are always willing to change their conclusions when new evidence suggests a need for such change, they do tend to leave bigots (who by definition ignore all that militates aginst their idee fixe) rather floundering in their wake. A lot of new evidence has surfaced in the nearly forty years since the mid 1970s and your information is well out of date. Knowledge, for instance, of DNA and genetics generally, is a quantum leap ahead of where it was back then, but you and your preferred sources of arrant nonsense haven't caught on, or caught up, and it is unlikely that you ever will.

It is a completely irrelevant mechanism for deciding the issue. The reason it's relevant is that two of the main reasons given for denying civil rights to homosexuals are that they have chosen to live that way and that their way of living is perverted. The scientific evidence presented by these groups shows that it is not a choice and that it is normal. |

Civil rights are a matter of agreement, not scientific measurement. For example we don't avoid legislation about trading just because it is voluntary. I don't deny people often use arguments based on scientific observations in these matters, but that doesn't mean it is sensible to do so. |

Once finished, there was the problem of finding an appropriate place to put it. They couldn't put it next to George Washington. Why? Because George Washington couldn't tell a lie. They almost decided to put it next to Richard M. Nixon, because Nixon couldn't tell the truth. The next possibility was to put it next to George. W. Bush, because Bush couldn't tell the difference. They almost decided to put it next to Christopher Columbus, because Columbus thought he knew where he was going, when he got there he didn't know where it was, and when he got back, he didn't know where he had been. The decision is still up in the air. They're trying to decide whether to put him next to Columbus—or Bozo the Clown. And funniest thing of all: they gave both Goofus and the wax dummy I.Q. tests.

06 Mar 13 - 03:11 PM (#3487182) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Matthew Shepard was a young, openly gay man, who was attending the University of Wyoming in Casper, Wyoming. The following describes what happened to him: Shortly after midnight on October 7, 1998, Shepard met Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson for the first time at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. It was decided that McKinney and Henderson would give Shepard a ride home. McKinney and Henderson subsequently drove the car to a remote, rural area and proceeded to rob, pistol-whip, and torture Shepard, tying him to a fence and leaving him to die..I suppose Wyoming (and a number of other areas around the United States) would qualify as a "locality" that Akenaton speaks of where "the vast majority of ordinary people . . . see homosexuality as perversion." I firmly believe that because of the hate-mongering and homophobia expressed by people such as Goofball and Akenaton, that they share in the responsibility for atrocities such as the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard and others like him. The so-called "scientific data" (not accepted, or actually refuted, by the vast majority of scientist in the field) that people like these two persist in spouting gives fuel to sick minds of sick people such as Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, Matthew Shepard's murderers.

06 Mar 13 - 07:07 PM (#3487284) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Bee-dubya-ell Untill the male homosexual health figures come anywhere near those for heterosexuals, I shall continue to assert that male to male sex is not to be encouraged as "safe and healthy". If it is not safe and healthy, then it follows that this behaviour must be dangerous and unhealthy.....unless you can come up with another explanation for the disparity? While it's undeniably true that promiscuous male/male sex is more dangerous than promiscuous male/female sex, the key word is "promiscuous". How this fact could be used as an argument against same sex marriage totally escapes me. If anything, it should be an argument for same sex marriage. Absent adultery or a "swinging" lifestyle, married people don't receive or transmit STDs, regardless of the married partners' genders. |

If you use and abuse your position to frighten people into having sex with you, there have been successful rape convictions in UK courts. So if the priests make an allegation of rape there could be a case to answer. Not that I am an expert on law but repeating the allegations by a leading QC. Your weaseling refusal to agree with your own comments didn't go unnoticed. They just appeared to show that even you are beginning to question your outrageous stance on equality and decency. You then blew it by saying you will carry on stating it, ,presumably without endorsing your own diatribe. Oh by the way. You lost. Miserably. Not a single political party with a hope of power either side of the Tweed supports a return to mainstream bigotry. So its just you and a few frustrated leaders of superstition.

The name of the mystery 'marker gene',..which you never knew...but then carried out an act, like you actually knew anything about it..but you never inquired further.... What the 'tip off' was for counselors, when to engage in pursuing probing, when homosexuality may have been the root of other marital problems....you never inquired further.... An accurate account of Dale Homosexual), my sound engineering mentor, and the problems he had with his father(indicative of a GREAT many homosexuals)...you never inquired further....

Multiple posters have told you to lighten up, with your twisting phrases of other posters, then arguing the twisted phases, as if WE had ever said them in the first place....but...you never inquired further.... YOU are a self absorbed, sick individual, who is still laundering out the FACT that you knocked up a chick you picked up, at a bar, or club..had nothing to do with raising the child, because, as you said, the mother wouldn't let you near them....I bet whatever fomented that position, you would NEVER let out, let alone honestly admit it to yourself...then you want to dictate who should be allowed to parent children..with NO fucking idea what it takes, and without one drop of experience...except what you 'learned' form other kids at some school you went to, and you want to be some sort of advocate, for something you've never had anything to do with...YOU are a FLAMING IDIOT!...and ANYONE who is stupid enough to listen to you, or take you seriously, is in serious question themselves! ...you never inquired further....because you never really cared...and still don't....you just want to be 'looked up to'..and you know why???...because inside that little man is someone who recognizes what a little man he really is.

When I opened my Earthlink browser this morning to head for my e-mail, the first thing that confronted me on the Earthlink opening page was an ad for an on-line "college" that read, "You, too, can be a Psychiatrist! Complete the full course in three months!" If Goofup feels he can actually bill himself as a "family counselor," I guess that could explain that!! $280 per hour!?? Oy vey!! Rates have gone up in recent years, but these days, real psychiatrists' hourly rates for the traditional "50 minute hour" generally run from $70 to $125, depending on qualifications (BA, MA, PhD). Real family counselors generally cost considerably less for an hour session. Don Firth P. S. What's that "quack, quack, quacking" sound I hear? |

Any other course of action (such as yours) is potentially suicidal. I don't need to "launder" anything because I don't have an "ideology," I have a well-thought-out philosophy of life that works well in the real world because it is based on the wisdom of philosophers who have gone before—and is well vetted by me before accepting. There is nothing "disappointing" about it because it works I believe it was Plato who said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." I don't know what you're talking about when you mention "your musical history of the composers." What does that have to do with the present discussion? Silly opinions? (Non)utopian pipe dreams?

And some of them happen to be homosexual, but since the law allowing gay marriage was passed in the recent state election, they have either gotten married or are about to. They have been together in civil unions, however, which was legalized in this state some years ago! Once again, there you are, making things up as you go along and twisting what others say to suit your own sick purposes. You regard me as some sort of "bleeding heart liberal" because I think what two people do in the privacy of their own home is none of my business—nor is it the business of perverts who, apparently, can't think of anything else!!

16 Mar 13 - 01:52 AM (#3490959) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Just to be clear: "....AND THE GENE IS..............??????" Goofup, it is no specific single gene, but a combination of genes—like many inheritable traits. It appears to be a recessive gene, and it also appears to be carried by some females of a particular line, and it is not believed to affect them as far as sexual orientation is concerned. It operates sporadically and has to do with the timing of hormones released to the fetus in utero. The actually physical organs of sex are established by the Y chromosome, which is carried by the father. Here is yet another example of your abysmal ignorance: "….and it falls under what race, creed or color?" The gene in question is independent of genes that determine race. Race is considered to be an anthropological category and often determines skin color and certain other physical characteristics. So "race" and "color" are actually redundant. Creed, on the other hand, is NOT genetic. That IS, indeed, a matter of choice. Are you really that ignorant? Don Firth |

16 Mar 13 - 02:52 PM (#3491178) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Some years back I ran into a woman I had gone to high school with. She was all grown up, of course. She was generally pretty attractive, tall, with a nice figure. She also had a nice singing voice, quite deep (probably contralto) and had sung in the school choir. Also early on, she wanted to be a ballerina and took some ballet lessons, but was eventually told that she was not really "petite" enough to be a ballerina. Tall, well-muscled, built like an amazon. We dropped into a restaurant, had several cups of coffee (as we used to do after school was out for the day) and spent some time catching each other up. It seems she was making some pretty good money at an unusual job. She got the idea when she saw a 1982 Julie Andrews movie called "Victor Victoria." The "McGuffin" of the movie was a woman impersonating a female impersonator. My friend was using her singing and dancing skills in a somewhat unconventional way. She worked up a song and dance act for "The Garden of Allah," a gay night club down on Seattle's First Avenue, where, at that time, all the pawn shops and porn theaters were located. Her act at The Garden of Allah was as a female impersonator! The manager of the club thought it would be one helluva snort for a female to impersonate a singing and dancing male female impersonator! Got that? It can get a little confusing. The fact that she had what might be called a "Junoesque" figure, and a fairly deep voice for a woman, helped the illusion a lot, and the customers in the place assumed that she was a male impersonating a female—and that she / he was damned good at it. Well, I guess you could say that. He / She had what you could call a certain natural talent! She was not confused about her sexuality. She eventually married and had a couple of kids. Also, she had gotten into computers early on, and last I heard, she had taken a job as a computer technician at a downtown business firm. Bright woman! Don Firth |

18 Mar 13 - 09:09 PM (#3491968) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth A Constitutional Democracy, much along the lines of Athenian democracy, wherein the Athenian citizens were well-educated in the democratic process (unlike modern Americans) and where, instead of elections, political leaders were chosen by lottery, served for a limited term, and were then judged on their performance in office by a jury of some 501 citizens (also selected by lottery, too big to bribe, and an odd number to eliminate the possibility of a hung jury). On the basis of that performance judgement, the outgoing political office holder was either rewarded or fined--and if they really did badly, banished from Athens. So it behooved them to keep their noses clean! Their equivalent of Congress was--6,000 citizens! Again, too many to bribe. Or "lobby," which is the same thing. Read First Democracy: The Challenge of an Ancient Idea, by Paul Woodruff. Excellent book. Easy read and very revealing. The major flaw in Athenian Democracy was that only men were citizens. Not women. But there were contemporary Athenian citizens who said that this was a major mistake, because Athens was wasting half of its intellectual power by excluding women from political deliberations. The title of the last chapter in the book is (if I remember correctly) "Is America Ready for Democracy?" Read it. Don Firth |

Being deceived is not evil in itself..because people, in general, try to make the best possible decisions, based on the information that they have to work with..if one is deceived, he's just deceived.... and given more accurate information, they would more than likely adjust their decisions........the evil belongs to those, who being self willed, set out to deceive another. That is quite another thing. Being as a great many people, have some compassion in them, may empathize with various homosexuals that they may have an acquaintance with..I too, have had associations both professionally and artistically with people who were homosexual....but because I was truthful with them, they were honest to me in return....in in that honesty, they have admitted things to me, about their homosexuality, that they would never admit to another, generic placatory 'so-called' activist!! In the course of my associations with a certain homosexual, who was, in my opinion, a musical and sound engineering genius....I was able to convince him to return to his father, in Sacramento, reconcile with his dad....who ended up taking care of him.... He died of AIDS, in his father's care. From his own admissions to me, and my studies, and sensitivities in dealing with him, though his fears and perceived sexual 'inabilities' toward the opposite sex, I have NO DOUBT whatsoever, that our resident Professor Wannabe Activist, has worked overtime in trying to delude others, as he hides from his emotional callousness, both in his past, and failure to ever come to terms with it!! Now he is trying to serve up more nonsense....but is probable afraid at taking a stab at his perceptions of Greek history....that he is wanting to duplicate.....and Good Lordy, in sort time you will understand WHY the Greek model appeals to him, so much.

19 Mar 13 - 03:12 PM (#3492283) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Of course. Goofup is claiming that the downfall of Athens and the First Democracy happened because, as we all know, all Greeks were "queer," according to people like Goofup (If that were true, then where did little Greeks come from?). The truth of the matter is that Athenian Democracy lasted for a good 200 years, and all in all, it worked quite well. It did have it's flaws. Women were not regarded as citizens of Athens, and Athenians kept slaves (usually people captured in Athens' occasional wars with other city-states). Many Greeks at that time said that a true Democracy should not keep slaves, and as I mentioned above, many said that to exclude women from deliberations and policy decisions wasted half of the intellectual power of Athens. Nevertheless, with those two exceptions, Democracy worked well in Athens. Education of Athenian citizens was at a very high level. Among other things, art, sculpture, music, writing, and drama thrived and evolved at a tremendous rate, as did philosophy and science. It was an ancient Greek who first said that the earth was round and gave a pretty good estimate of its diameter (he used geometry after measuring shadows cast at high noon in two separate locations a year apart on the longest day of the year). On the homosexuality issue, Greeks were no more homosexual than any other population. But the fact that they considered this kind of relationship as perfectly acceptable has stuck in the craw of people like Goofup, who are convinced that, no matter how much they advanced civilization and fostered the arts and the sciences, and produced some of the greatest thinkers of all time (Plato, Aristotle, and dozens of others I could list), they were all a bunch of "perverts." Homosexuality was no more prevalent then that it is today, it's simply that they believed your sex life was your business, as long as you didn't do it in the middle of the street and frighten the horses. Athens fell, not by internal corruption as people like Goofup would have you believe, but because they were invaded by Sparta during the Peloponnesian War and subsequently defeated by superior military forces. Shortly thereafter, Sparta and all its occupied territories (including Athens) was conquered by Philip of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, who went on to conquer and subjugate most of the known world by the time he was thirty. This ended the world's first successful Democracy. There was much wrong with Athenian Democracy as constituted, but there was also much right about it. And there is much we could learn from a system which was, in many ways, superior to our own. Don Firth |

Boy, am I relishing this moment!! Don posted: "Now he's trying to say, "Some of my best friends and homosexuals?" NOWHERE in my post did I even allude to that! (go check, it's just a couple of posts back). Your quotation marks are EXACTLY the kind of twisting of other people's posts, that you disagree with, exploratory tactical antics, for which you are famous(and not favorably) for!!! ..and that is just for starters! The fall of Greek's Democracy was not due solely to homosexuality, as you mistakenly thought, I was going to post. Not at all, but it was just a symptom, of yet, the greater problem!! Now, what was that 'S' word??? Something that is deeply ingrained in your make up.....and WHY you favor(mistakenly so) that particular Greek model. Does the word 'SOPHISTS' ring a bell?...as in 'Sophistry'???? In the Greek Senate, the 'Assembly' (Senators) employed 'Sophistry'..to wit, the ability to wrangle a debate, not based on FACTS, but their abilities to manipulate the language, and logic, to 'win' a debate. From definitions of Sophists: "[In the Gorgias and elsewhere] Plato critiques the Sophists for privileging appearances over reality, making the weaker argument appear the stronger, preferring the pleasant over the good, favoring opinions over the truth and probability over certainty, and choosing rhetoric over philosophy. In recent times, this unflattering portrayal has been countered with a more sympathetic appraisal of the Sophists' status in antiquity as well as their ideas for modernity." (John Poulakos, "Sophists," Encyclopedia of Rhetoric. Oxford Univ. Press, 2001)... From this site......though there are quite a few! ..and in the course of their Sophistry, they, for their self-aggrandizement they weakened Greece, and made it vulnerable. You have bullshitted with your nonsensical rhetoric, for far too long, citing outright lies, misinformation, (not to mention DIS-information), and done so purposely...as if, as you posted, liking our exchanges to a fencing match! Truth was NOT important to your end game...never was, and probably won't ever be. You just wanted to smear your way into your 'so-called' liberal 'activism' and you didn't care one iota if your posts even resembled truth, at all...it just had to 'sound rhetorically' on. ..and by golly, your last post gives yet another example of your brand of horseshit! Yes, it was the egocentric Sophists who weakened Greece. Finances were diverted from essential needs...but they sure made a name for themselves! From the word 'Sophist', and 'Sophistry' we get the word 'Sophisticated'...which in its definition means 'NOT GENUINE'!!! Gosh..sounds like somebody we know...The Professor! So to quote YOU!!!..."Fer Crissake, Goofup, READ A BOOK!!" Oh, and by the way....you and I went roundabout the issue of homosexuals being able to not be a homosexual any longer...look what I found in Yahoo News, just today..... "(Michelle)In 1990, Shocked opened up about coming out and having a relationship with a woman. But the born-again Christian's tune changed a decade later when she denied all gay labels. Shocked has since referred to herself as the "world's greatest homophobe," according to the Best of New Orleans blog. In a 2008 interview with LGBT publication The Dallas Voice, Shocked seemed to be grappling with her feelings." from the Huffington Post Si I guess she's wrong about herself, too, as you will probably SUPPOSE!

19 Mar 13 - 06:05 PM (#3492349) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth The early Sophists were extremely knowledgeable, and were professional teachers. It was later on that some would-be teachers gave them a bad reputation as pretending to have knowledge that they didn't really have. It was this latter group that Socrates was criticizing in The Republic. I hardly qualify as a Sophist of the latter kind. Other than music, I do not profess to be a teacher. But I am quite knowledgeable. Simple enough. I enjoyed high school, I enjoyed college. I stayed awake in class. And I generally took notes. And I am a voracious reader on a whole range of subjects. Furthermore, if I don't have the knowledge right at my fingertips, I know how to go about getting it. There is nothing unique about this. Any well-educated person can do it. You've got it wrong, Goofup. A person who is sophisticated is knowledgeable and worldly. What you are talking about is called a "pseudo-sophisticate." That's not me.

That is their own business, not yours, nor ANY political ideology's business. There are a lot of Catholic clergy who are celibate, too..you aren't frothing about that...and how about them there Buddhist Monks....screams, OH my God, they are celibate!!..quick 'fix' them!!

Why do you say things like that Don? Is it just that you dont want a serious discussion of the issue. I think thats what Ian and John P were getting at when they urged members "not to respond to my opinions lest it give me an air of respectibility". I simply reprint the latest hiv figures to show that the point I am making is still valid, every year the new infection rate among male homosexuals rises by approx 10%, regardless of imformation, education or vast amounts of money thrown at the problem. Only compulsory testing and contact tracing has any hope of stopping the epidemic. Fidel Castro instigated this course of action in the eighties and Cuba has the lowest infection rates of any country in the world. |

24 Mar 13 - 02:20 PM (#3494275) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this? I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify? I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Don Firth |

25 Mar 13 - 02:21 PM (#3494730) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth To set the record straight, in my freshman year, I took a course at the University of Washington called "The Bible as Literature" from Professor Paul Trueblood. We read large portions of the Bible, as whole works—the way those scribes who wrote it in the first place intended they be read—instead of the usual practice of most people these days of reading a few isolated verses, generally in an attempt to prove some spurious point. I KNOW the Bible much better than many ministers and pastors that I have met. I attend Central Lutheran Church here in Seattle—with my wife, Barbara (who is NOT "the 'Ol Lady," but a beautiful, intelligent, talented woman)—because I like the people and I like the pastor(s). They don't "preach," they teach a philosophy that is very relevant to today's world, and is consistent with the teachings of Jesus. For an idea of what I mean, read Matthew 25:35-40 (NIV). That encapsulates the essential teaching of Jesus. And this particular church works hard to put that teaching into practice. And they do not ambush you on the street and shove religious tracts down your shirt front. They quietly "evangelize" by their example. Nor do they believe the Bible is the "inerrant Word of God." Much of it was written for the times in which it was written and bears little relevance to today's world. Such as the "laws" in the Book of Leviticus. As some have said, "Even the Devil quotes scripture!" As to my own religious beliefs, that is between God—if there is such a Being—and me, and is nobody else's business!! You, Goofballupagus, are a FOOL. Here's a Bible verse for you: CLICKY. Have a nice day. Don Firth |

25 Mar 13 - 07:33 PM (#3494839) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth And as to Akenaton: That 79% of all new cases of HIV/AIDs are among male homosexuals is not at all that surprising. Akenaton uses this figure repeatedly as if it is unexpected, and—for some unfathomable reason—a rational for denying same-sex marriage. This 79% sounds quite large, but it represents a much smaller number of actual people than he is trying to imply. Legalizing and recognizing same-sex marriage, and thus encouraging stable same-sex relationships, would go a very long way toward reducing the amount of male homosexual promiscuity, which is the primary way in which the virus is spread. I fail to see any good reason why Akenaton cannot—or will not—see this. Don Firth |

26 Mar 13 - 03:51 AM (#3494967) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: akenaton Don, these figures would suggest that there is something intrinsically wrong with male to male sex. The "marriage" legislation suggests otherwise and attempts to legilimise the practice. Take up rates for civil union and homosexual marriage are so low and promiscuity rates amongst male homosexuals so high, that it can be taken as read that active male homosexuals have no interest in "marriage" or monogamy. The reason that the vast majority of people marry, is to provide a secure environment in which to bring up their offspring and build a family structure......this does not apply in the case of homosexuals, who will have no offspring. Society is now in the invidious position of having to provide a family to support the practice. I genuinely feel sorry for these people who will never find fulfillment in their personal lives, but the fault is not in anything I say here. You must look elsewhere for that. |

26 Mar 13 - 05:13 AM (#3494992) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity 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! GfS |

By saying this, I'm giving him credit for some intelligence. Whether he chooses to use that intelligence and recognize the truth of what I, and many other people, are saying is more a test of his character and personal integrity. Interesting statistic reported in today's news in relation to the fact that Prop 8 and DOMA are now before the Supreme Court: 81% of the American population now favor the national approval of same-sex marriage.

26 Mar 13 - 04:54 PM (#3495210) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth Goofballupagus, since you chose not to become a member and hide behind a made-up name, I can't PM you with this, so I'll have to post it in open forum. Just for the fun of it, I talked to an attorney friend of mine. This friend happens to be in a same-sex relationship with another attorney. They've been together for some twenty years that I know of, and they were married in the same church that my wife and I attend. I told him about your posts, harassing me and telling lies about me. I gave him the Mudcat URL and told him some of the threads to look at. So he spent some time browsing through them. He concluded that I have a pretty solid case for libel. He explained to me that "slander" applies to what is spoken about someone, whereas what is published—and posting something on an internet forum falls under the classification of publishing—is libel. And, GfS, things you have said about me in your posts are definitely libelous! Tracking you down would be no problem. Using an internet "handle" does not mean you are anonymous. You can be tracked down. Your IP (internet protocol) address is like "caller ID" and can be traced, the same way that Joe traced the post that you claimed I had written under your name on the Prop 8 thread, and established that it came from your computer, not mine. Dave said that if I wanted to sue you for libel, you had already posted enough lies about me to hang your ass from the highest flag pole—and he said he would be happy to take the case pro bono, then suggested that in lieu of a legal fee, when I collect damages from you, we could split the settlement. He'd enjoy nailing you, and told me, "If you want to do it, just say the word!" Ain't no big thing, he said. Lots of law firms are handling internet defamation cases. It's a relatively new field in legal practice and there's a lot of it going on, sparked by people who think they can hide behind a pseudonym and say anything about anybody, and no one can touch them. Not so! He referred me to this web site: Ve-e-ery interesting!! ======= It might be a good idea if others who inhabit this web site and are given to attacking others take note of the above item.

And regarding my comments about my first fencing competition, once again that demonstrates that you either can't read or you deliberately distort what people say.

I did, reluctantly. I expected to lose every match. Maestro Halberstadt said, "I think you might surprise yourself." Keep in mind that I was nineteen years old at the time, and I fenced in a stiff-legged guard position, leaning on a crutch, and could not lunge. So I had to first defend myself from my opponent's attack and hit him with either a riposte or well-timed counter-attack. Simple illustration thereof. I thought I would lose every bout. But I wound up in fourth place!! I--and several of the other fencers there at the time--regard that as a victory! Other fencers received the medals. But that evening, I received the congratulations.

How to develop a nearly impenetrable defense! Read and heed! Also, at Halberstadt's school in San Francisco, both Sal Giambra and Gerry Biagini (two of the country's best fencers and also two of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet) were very generous to me in the salle d'armes and gave me a lot of tips gleaned from their experience in international fencing tournaments (both of the guys were on the U. S. Olympic Team at the time). For example, Gerry told me to have a parry or parry combination pre-planned, then hold it until my opponent lunged (similar to what Nadi said in the recommended chapter), but keep my eyes fixed on his shoulder and the right side of his chest (assuming he's right-handed). I will also be able to see his right foot in my peripheral vision. When he lunges, I will see him pick up his right foot, his arm will straighted, and he will move forward—very quickly! That's when I go into my parry-combination, deflect his point, and fire a swift riposte back. He also said to notice any little mannerisms my opponent had and take advantage of them if possible. All of this things proved very helpful in future fencing bouts. That latter—noting my opponent's mannerisms or habits—allowed me to start beating a Seattle fencer who, until that point, had always beaten me. His mouth got dry when he fenced (he was a bit of a mouth-breather), so to alleviate that, he chewed gum. I notice that this made his mask bob a little bit. But a split second before he lunged, he would stop chewing. This was a tip-off. And suddenly he began losing bouts to me! He couldn't figure out how I got so good so fast! Nasty me! I never told him either! If you fence, try putting these little tips into practice. Don (step aside, d'Artagnan!) Firth |

I'm talking about your posts about the game you likened OUR exchanges to...or don't you remember? ..and I got a goodie for you......remember that link that threw you off the edge?...the one from the Bible that...wait, I'll pull it up........"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." Well, being as you think of us as fencing...here's why that one blew your shit away.....(wait..gotta' get it....) got it... Hebrews 4:12 says "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Touche! GfS P.S. YOU say I'm a 'hate monger' but you are either intolerantly wrong, or just generally full of shit. (Actually, I'm beginning to think you're a glutton for punishment!). |

No sweat, Goofballupagus. I did provide. That's one of your many problems, grasshopper. Without knowing the whole situation and what really happened, you make stuff up. By the way, how is your knowledge of the Ten Commandments? specially the one that begins, "Thou shalt not bear false witness...." Translation: False witness = LYING. As long as you're into quoting Scripture, think about it. Don Firth |

28 Mar 13 - 06:51 PM (#3496126) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Don Firth I don't really think of you as a fencing opponent, Goofy. I've fenced with some of the top swordsmen in the country, and even though I certainly wasn't one of them, I managed to do a fair job of holding my own with them. I wasn't a pushover by any means. Even now, after all these years, I could shish kabob you in seconds, and that's no sport at all You, on the other hand (as I note do most of the more intelligent folk on this thread—or on this web site in general), I regard as a joke.

29 Mar 13 - 11:41 AM (#3496390) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: frogprince "NOTHING would keep a GOOD man away from raising his child" gfs, I've asked before, with no response: what would you in fact do if the mother chooses to move away with the child? Would you chain her up in some hidden place? Would you kill her and bury her in the yard? Do you think you could forcibly take custody of the child and get away with it? Do you believe you could, and should, coerce her into at least staying in the immediate area? Do you believe that if Don had actually been a "GOOD man", she would have percieved that and married him? What is the practical, realistic alternative that would have satisfied your standards? |

My win, as we then adopted him from the local greyhound sanctuary. In he meantime, he has been invaluable in conversing with Goofus, and presumably from your last post, you as well from now on. At least it will prevent me from having to talk with you. |

29 Mar 13 - 03:09 PM (#3496454) Subject: RE: BS: Counselors on same sex marriage From: Musket Here in civilisation, we don't live in kennels. We live in huge fuck off mansions. Mind you, the good professor can choose between his bean bag at the side of the aga, his basket in the lounge or the rug in front of the fire in my study. Same sex marriage is a sore point for him. Very sore indeed since having his nuts nipped. However, he did tell me say to you the following. Woof! Woof! Grrrr Woof! Which translates as "Whilst ever we have a situation where gay footballers such as Fashanu commit suicide due to how Gay people are demonised, football is the poorer for it. Whilst ever you have to "admit" rather than state you are gay and hope for acceptance, society is the poorer for it. Whilst ever the HPA figures suggest the HIV fight is far from over, society acceptance and encouragement of monogamous relationships such as marriage on the same footing as any other person is a positive step in the right direction. And that would preclude your poison and hate being repeated and repeated in order to stigmatise people. What's that boy? No, no bark, he just farted. |

He assumes I think more of my dog than others, that I have kids and that taxpayers look after my kids. What any of that has to do with this thread is beyond me but as I have said before, his mental state is such that encouraging him does you no favours. Why stop at those random thoughts Goofus? Surely you would do better saying I was a closet gay or that I hang around schools with sweets in one hand and my dick in the other? My dog on the other hand thinks, well, I'll let him say it. Woof! Grrrrrrr Grrrrrrr. Woof! Really? I didn't think they had computers in padded cells? Well, you've analysed the sick twat I suppose. .. |
