121. I'm a gay ATHEIST, but if there's anything close to a god, please don't let this dinosaur win the election. It's a NEW CENTURY Mr. M - step back & let the nation MOVE FORWARD !

122. She should have left him dangling out there feeling uncomfortable with his position. That uncomfortability is what tells you you have a weak position on an issue. She let him off the hook to continue with institutionalized discrimination.

123. As a woman who's best friend for the last 10 years was gay, and sadly passed away in October, I must say something. Gay people don't chose to be gay. They don't wake up in the morning and chose to have feelings for someone. Nicki was a beautiful woman, and a devout Catholic. I watched her struggle with her sexuality and religion for years and years, eventually leaving Catholicism to become a Methodist pastor. She was the first gay person I ever knew, and it really didn't affect me at all. I never stopped to think about what she did, or who she did it with, because it didn't affect ME. She somehow managed to form a connection to God, a love for herself and love for her friends, family and partner. I was, and remain, so honored to be her friend.
And I must disagree with "THAT is scary". Homosexuality is abudant in nature. Several studies have been done on the subject, and the information is readily available. However, homosexuality is one area that people will never truly agree on, one of the many grey areas in society. Nicki taught me that we have love and tolerance for everyone, even if they don't have love and tolerance for us.

124. Wow #115 (LOL)...
Whether you believe it or not... whether you want to, or not.... you are going to stand before the Creator one day and have to account for what you just said. And when you ask if your name is in that book He is holding.... He will say (with severe grief in his heart).... Depart, for I never knew you.
My heart feels heavy for you... sincerely... heavy.

125. Also, as a Catholic woman who does believe in God, I remain skeptical of the Bible. There are many wonderful examples and beliefs we should follow in it...however, it has been rewritten several times by men such as King James. Anything we do as humans, we cannot help but impart our own views and beliefs upon it. One translation to another could have been twisted or lost as the centuries came and went. We don't know what the original Bible said. Do I believe there WAS a Bible, with God's own words, once upon a time? Yes. However, I'm skeptical at best that the Bible we believe in isn't flawed by ourselves.

127. Retarded people shouldn't be allowed to get married either!! Only people who believe in the same stupid made up bullst that I believe in should be allowed to get married!! 1000 more years in Iraq, because staying in Iraq is saving this country.

If we were not in Iraq we would be getting bombed every day!!! I'm so stupid I actually believe this!

128. The second we get out of Iraq is the second the planes start flying into buildings again. You don't want 9-11 part 2 do you? We must stay in Iraq, even though all the hijackers where from Saudi Arabia, screw going after them, we must go after Iraq, the country that never did anything to anyone! 1000 more years in Iraq or we are all screwed in a major way.

129. Finally someone with some common sense. Everyone knows that the moment we leave Iraq is the moment the terrorism starts again. The war on Terrorism is a war that we can win. The War on Terror is something will we WIN!!! We almost got the War On Drugs defeated so I know it's only a matter of time before the war on Drugs and Terror are both wars of the past!!!!! Yeah I'm not a kook for believing this!!!! If you don't believe in Jesus you are going to HELL!!!

131. Why are liberals so hateful and closed minded? And on this site, they seem to generalize conservatives the same way they accuse the conservatives doing.

And one more thing, why is it when liberals/gays can not get the majority to agree with them or get the rule of law turned in their favor, they run to activist judges who rule with a political agenda instead of following the rule of law? I'll tell you why, becase they are sore losers. They live a life of no ethics. They care about nothing but themselves and their short term pleasures. They could care less about this great country or how they are dragging it into the gutter.

132. Ellen: What did you expect from the Sen. He doesn't believe in gay marriages so why would you waste your time and the viewers time? McCain is too old to be President. He speaks blah, blah, blah. Political BS. Ellen, we don't care what kind of pants you wear for the wedding. Just get married. Don't drag it on and on...You want McCain to walk you up the isle you had better get him a walker.

134. She has so much class. Rosie O'Dumbass should take a lesson. Everyone should give Larry and JohnMcCainforpresident a break. They are obviously mentally disabled.

135. I believe that everyone should have the right to live in misery, gay or straight.
