"Think of the birds!" doesn't have much of a ring to it.

I remember a conversation I had in the late '90s in which I opined that
GWB probably wasn't half the man his father was. In that spirit, it is
only reasonable to observe today that Hillary is twice the man that Bill is.

If I see any in here, I'll ask them about that.

It is so easy to yank your chain too isn't it... Like I did not read the
thing myself. What an assbag.

This:

we thought we were acting freely, in fact there was a component of
compulsion that we were not conscious of.

One of their mantras is that "Government doesn't work." Once they get into power,
they set about proving that.

Thank God for google. Without it, I wouldn't know that you are either a
bacteriologist, a mortgage modification agreement, a boxer, or something
in Polish that I couldn't understand.

But I'll back off. Mortgage modification agreements frighten me. I don't
want to chance it.

Cannot prove it.
Introspection and retrospection proves that it is exactly
what I have done. No defense. I am responsible for what
I do regardless of considerations of free will.

Steve, you're trying to find a way to "prove" that homosexuality is a conscious
choice and one that can be reversed. The entire child molestor aspect of this is
unrelated. You may find homosexual relationships "perverted" - no one is making you
be in one. The fact that some portion of society finds homosexual relationships
"perverted" doesn't matter, as the participants in that relationship are not harming
each other or society. The same can not be said for a child molestor. And the
"consensual" part of the equation is the important one. The rest of your so-called
argument is simply gibberish.
