It's more of you not reading the whole article as usual and/or leaving parts out. Really, is this the best you can come up with? I'm sure there is some real issue out there you can post about.
It's just to show how these idiot Democrats who are freaking out about the "Sequester", are tripping over themselves and their tongues over an "85Billion cut". The two dummies next to Maxine didn't even notice it was a slip of the tongue. :lol:

Ben Bernanke will make that up in just one month, by printing money out of thin air, which he's doing at the moment anyway.

Did you know that 80% of all US currency in use is $100 bills. Think that one over a bit.

Interesting, but it makes no sense unless you count all the US Dollars circulating around the world. I would have thought that nowadays in the US people are mostly using plastic money.

The US dollar is used widely in the Caribbean, Central and South America, lots of countries in Africa and I imagine in Asia too, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's more $100 notes outside of the US where they use less plastic money

yes, "all' currency means all US currency everywhere, but you're sort of missing the point. What percentage of $100 bills do you think most Americans carry? Who do you think is using all of these big bills and why?

Do you also "Get a Thrill Going Up Your Leg" just like Chris Mathews, every time you talk about Gay Marriage?

Amazing how quickly Obama forgot about the apocalyptic "Sequester". Nothing like switching the conversation to gay marriage to forget the "Sequester"

So what is Obama gonna demand next, after he forces Gay Marriage down everyone's throats; that every city must have a "Folsom Street Fair" for gay perverts?

After reading a couple of articles it appears that ยง100 bills are popular in the black market and could be used to launder money like in illegal trade in drugs, arms and human trafficking as well as large amounts of 'unreported' income. But they're also hoarded by people in developing countries where local currencies aren't as strong as the dollar.

Not sure that's the answer you wanted

No, but I do enjoy your uneasiness with it. I do enjoy those being on the wrong side of history/backward types/prejudice types, those people throughout history that have tried to keep people from having rights, not liking this.

Freedom is a good thing, it's good more people will be able to get married if they want to. Women's rights was good. Civil rights was good. Rights are good.

Civil Unions YES, Gay Marriage NO. First of all, a child needs both a female role model and a male role model to be able to integrate fully into society. Most Gays will never be able to provide this. Gays fail to provide either a mother's love or a father's teachings. How will children being brought up by gays deal with fellow students when they ask about their father or mother?

It's ridiculous to put children in this situation.

Why is such public filth like the "Folsom Street Fair" for gay perverts even allowed?

Why aren't gay people allowed to donate blood?

Why are there so many suicides amongst gays?

Why do Gay men account for well over 50% of ALL new HIV infections in the U.S. each year?

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men represent the vast majority of persons who have died of AIDS since it was first detected on... yes you guessed it... homosexuals.

Gay lifestyle is just too promiscuous to be trusted to allow them to adopt children. You would have thought that 32 years after gays first introduced AIDS, they would be a lot more careful in their risky sexual lifestyles, but obviously statistics tell us that this is not the case.

Liberals and Homosexuals may want to alter the legal definition of marriage, but they will never be able to alter the laws of nature

So as far as I'm concerned, YOU are the one that's on the wrong side of history and logic, not me. You are a Liberal and you don't know how to think for yourself. Thanks to your Liberal insanity you are self-righteous and judgmental, and on top of it you try to impose your personal convictions on other people.

Don't bother doing it with me because no Liberal will ever have any success in changing my mind, especially you. Like I've said before and I'll repeat once more, just go shove your useless liberal ideas where the sun don't shine.

Civil Unions YES, Gay Marriage NO.

The problem there is that civil unions are at the STATE level, not federal, and don't provide the same rights. One example, if someone had to be hospitalized in a state that didn't recognize their civil union, their partner might not be allowed to visit them in the hospital.

First of all, a child needs both a female role model and a male role model to be able to integrate fully into society. Most Gays will never be able to provide this. Gays fail to provide either a mother's love or a father's teachings.

So by the same logic, people shouldn't be allowed to get divorced either? Mandatory remarriage for widows/widowers? Plenty of straight parents fall short on love, teaching or both.

How will children being brought up by gays deal with fellow students when they ask about their father or mother?

I know a same sex couple who have been together for over 30 years and raised 3 kids (legally adopted by one partner) together. I never asked them about it - I suspect they passed as a single-parent family. Their grandkids don't give it a second thought - times have changed.

Gay lifestyle is just too promiscuous

Someone who's priority in life is a promiscuous lifestyle isn't likely to WANT to marry anyone, much less raise a family.

That didn't make any sense any of the other times you've said it. You're the one trying to inflict your personal views on other people. You have a problem with gay marriage, so if it was up to you, you wouldn't let gay couples marry. That would have a direct impact on their lives. Me, being ok with gays marrying has 0 affect on your life. So there is imposition on you whatsoever.

Gilsan there is so much drivel in your usual anti-gay diatribe that I could write a whole book rebuking almost every point you make. Just a few remarks, because life is too short:

Civil Unions YES, Gay Marriage NO.
It doesn't change a thing, because gays and lesbians don't need permission from the government to live together. Call it like you want.
Denying gays and lesbians the right to marry won't make them go away. Get used to it.

Fortunately, we are not in Zimbabwe, Cameroon, or Iran.

First of all, a child needs both a female role model and a male role model to be able to integrate fully into society. Most Gays will never be able to provide this. Gays fail to provide either a mother's love or a father's teachings. How will children being brought up by gays deal with fellow students when they ask about their father or mother?
I am happy to hear that you were fostered by loving, caring, undivorced parents - because many heterosexual couples are not really fit for the job, in fact they botch the mission big time and destroy their children's lives. But for some reason, you believe it's the only valid family model.
Therefore, I suppose single parents are equally disqualified in your eyes ? That's what you said: a female role model and a male role model, right ?

It was quite funny (and pathetic) to see those French demonstrators wanting to forbid same-sex marriage because it would supposedly be unhealthy for children :lol:

But there are parents living a same-sex relationship, and children living under the same roof.
If that type of family were so unhealthy for children, it would be outlawed, but even the bigots know it's plain irrational and doesn't make sense at all. Nobody can forbid that.

So they resort to exploiting children to promote their hate agenda => not nice.

As if they cared about the children. They don't.
Otherwise they would be a tad more consistent in their inconsistent claims.
I can't stand the hypocrisy.

Again, making same-sex marriage legal or not won't change the existing reality.

Why are there so many suicides amongst gays?
Because society doesn't accept gays, you are a prominent example. Even in the most gay-friendly nations, being gay is not easy at all.

People commit suicide out of despair because they don't fit in or have no hope.
It's like asking why some kids commit suicide after being bullied at school for years. You don't think gays are exposed to bullying a lot ?

Gay lifestyle is just too promiscuous to be trusted to allow them to adopt children. You would have thought that 32 years after gays first introduced AIDS, they would be a lot more careful in their sexual lifestyles, but obviously statistics tell us that it is not the case.
Is there such a thing as gay lifestyle ?
I know some gays/lesbians, and work with them every day in a professional capacity, and there are just normal people like you and me. They are not people living on the edge of society. You seem to confuse reality with your personal fantasy world.

So now AIDS is the creation of gays ? Utter nonsense. It's no different than the religious nuts claiming it's a punishment from God :laugh:

Liberals and Homosexuals may want to alter the legal definition of marriage, but they will never be able to alter the laws of nature
.
You should study nature and biology more, because homosexuality is part of nature... :tri:

On a final note, I would say that the 'mild' homophobia exemplified in this thread isn't that benign. Imho it is a form of hate - no less.

What's going on in the minds of homophobes would be along these lines:

Okay we don't like you gays very much. Well, it's not that we don't like you, we just feel a bit uneasy you know, nothing personal.
Unfortunately there is little we can do about it, because the public at large doesn't sympathize with our views any more. Also, we cannot put you in jail or exterminate you, because such practices have ceased a long time ago, over here at least. Not that we condone but you know, it's ain't easy for other people.

So please sin in private, don't live your difference openly, please don't make any waves. We don't want to see, we don't want to know. Please don't...
Just pretend you don't exist and all will be fine...


That's the problem: it's like you are not even human because you don't exist, in fact you don't have the right to exist because you are not worthy in the eyes of the homophobes and they can't stand gays and lesbian gaining visibility in the public eye :guilty:

In many countries, homosexuality is frowned upon or is a criminal act. So when you are a victim of a hate crime, there is nowhere to complain. Remember: you don't exist. Homosexuality officially doesn't exist. So there is no crime, therefore no victim.

You are only allowed to suffer or get killed in the most extreme cases. Or better yet, kill yourself. Yeah, that would be ideal.
Then we'll claim you committed suicide because of mental instability :lala:
Nothing wrong with society of course. But we could do without people like you.

This is more or less what the homophobes aim to achieve. They don't always realize it, because they are not being rational. But minorities of all sorts always get exposed to the worst abuses when they are deprived of visibility.

Hate stems from fear, and fear stems from ignorance.
Think about it.

You're the one that keeps bringing up the Gay Marriage thing. You don't like my answers, I don't care. It's my opinion and I believe I'm right and you are wrong. Why don't you bother to answer the stats about gays on my previous post?

If the Civil Unions don't grant them their rights then give them their rights, but to call it marriage is ridiculous. Gays aren't exactly saints as you and the liberal media try to paint them.

California voted against Gay Marriage, but the courts went against the people's vote. That's bullshit.

Heterosexuals aren't saints either, but you guys are always putting them down and putting gays on a pedestal.

As an example. sdsinc says; "because many heterosexual couples are not really fit for the job, in fact they botch the mission big time and destroy their children's lives"

Yet he doesn't say that gays do the same, no, no, gays are the perfect parents, as far as he, you, JB Lions and all the Liberal nuts are concerned.

So what the hell do you vote for if "your political system doesn't listen to the masses"

You guys no longer know what normality is, you are all brainwashed as far as I'm concerned. :td:

So if gays "do the same" as you say, why not give them equal rights? We're all just people. I'm not sure why some folks feel they're entitled to more rights than others :yell:

Aw, sad smiley from Gilsan.

Where in the world do you see anybody putting down heterosexuals? You just make stuff up sometimes.

She's a she, not a he btw.

And where do you see anybody saying gays + perfect parents? Anybody can be a great parent or a bad one.

If you're defining Liberal Nut as somebody who believes that people should have rights, I'm downright Nutty.

As far as listening to the masses, didn't we just go over this recently? Didn't I recently post a long list of current polls on this subject showing the majority of Americans being just fine with gay marriage. Yes, I did.

You guys don't defend family values anymore, you only worry about gay marriage. You always give examples of good gay families and bad examples of normal families. If it wasn't for normal families, no one in this forum would exist.

Who do you mean by "you guys"? People on this thread who don't see everything your way, or everyone you would call a liberal?

What do you consider to be family values? If mine are slightly different from yours, is my family not normal? If the topic of gay marriage comes up at the dinner table, and it's not outright condemned, does that mean when I'm reading a bedtime story to my child, that my family values are not as good as yours or that I don't care about them?

Did your family values teach you to insult people who disagree with you by calling them names? If I choose not to do that, are my family values less than yours?
