And you can add homosexual priests, who adorn themselves with holier than though religious trinkets, preaching about morality while sexually abusing alter boys to that list. Quote: Originally Posted by smartorl Let us not forget the KKK members that sat in church feeling holier than thou only...

I'm hardly a "redneck." Actually, I work in a corporate office, living the American dream as a Financial Analyst--hardly a 'redneck' occupation. The mere fact that I oppose homosexuality doesn't makes me a 'redneck.' It just makes me a person concerned about morality. You ought to hear my...

For those of us participating in this discussion, we are well aware of his stance on homosexuality so there was no need to let us know where he's coming from. For those that see his posts elsewhere on this forum, it is certainly an in-your-face statement. Quote: Originally Posted by reefraff...

Apparently you're having trouble following this. He said, he wasn't, to paraphrase, an in-your-face homosexual. He clearly is, evidenced by his avatar. It is the defining characteristic of his that he wants to share with strangers. While we chose trivial avatars that are not offensive and...

Don't think this statement didn't go unnoticed. You say you aren't shouting from every corner or shoving your homosexuality down the throats of others, but you're sporting a gay rainbow flag which effectively does both of these. You are obviously craving attention and defining yourself by your...

Your quoted facts are terribly wrong--you are actually describing an incident where an African-American was murdered in Texas. In fact, Matthew Shepard was murdered in Laramie, Wyoming. The murderers pistol-whipped him and left him to die, tied to a fence. Yes, Wyoming did not have Hate Crime...

Acceptance of homosexuality is a sure sign of a society's decaying moral values. Look no further than the Roman Empire or Ancient Greece, if you don't believe me. I'm not a Puritanical member of the religious right, so don't try to pin that label on me--haven't been to a church in more than a...

Taryn, I'm admittedly the least experienced person on here, but I do know you don't want to add a Mandarin to a newly established tank, especially one this small. It will starve to death, according to the experts. From everything I've read, they should only be introduced to a large established...

Ever since I purchased my display tank, my six-year-old son wanted a tank of his own for his room. When I purchased a used 30-gallon tank for a quarantine tank, I became the not-so-proud owner of a damsel. Not wanting to put this evil little fish in with mine, my son got his wish. I purchased...

Below is a photo of the 55-gallon tank that is getting replaced. :-)
