Children, children.

That's enough.

Reasonable discourse, please.

I don't care who started it.

(Why, yes, I did used to be a nanny. How could you tell?)

I think tom cruze is a nut job and won't watch anything with him in it, even though i used to love top gun

I don't feel like I am denying his free speech..

Mr. Card may demonstrate his bigotry in public till his heart is content, but he will never see another dime of my money. Freedom of expression is a two way street, and boycotting his works is my way of expressing my disapproval of his ignorance and hatred.

You may have used to be a nanny, but you're not a moderator.

Butt out.

I may not be a mod, but I do have a right to expect reasonable discourse here.

If you don't want to be taken to task for insulting other members, don't insult them.

Again - feel free to tell me what to do when you are a mod. Till then, I equally have the right to be left alone by holier-than-thou busybodies.

A Moderator has already requested (see above) starting a new thread in P&R if you want to discuss the rights and wrongs of homosexuality.

But even there you will not be welcome to fling insults at each other. You can consider this a first and last warning.

Return to the topic, noting the above, now.

I agree that it is unfair to criminalize them or discriminate them at work or in any other social instance. But if they are free to "associate" against nature, why shouldn't we be free to disagree with them and point out that they go against nature, even though it does not hurt anyone to go against nature provided you are consenting ?

This is the first lucid post I have seen in the thread among all that PC crapiness.

Karma for that.

I guess that Mr. Card is happy about all this free publicity. I, for one, will look for this novella and then make my opinion.

You did, and quite succinctly I might add. I had intended to reply to Quexos' post. Guess I got distracted worrying about my hang nail or some such world shaking event. :-)

I think you're confusing gay and EPUB.
