My guess is most of them could give a shit whether you accept them or not. They wanted the civil right to marry and they got it.

Sorry, but the fact that this is such a protested subject, and such a political hotbed right now, only shows that I am FAR from being in a small minority on this subject. Funny how when left up to activist judges and politicians - queers get their way. But tell me, in ALL the states where it's left up to VOTES by the citizens - tell me why so many all of a sudden think like I do? Sorry, but when left to votes, queers and their supporters are still in the minority.

Here's a way to do it that is not censorship in the least:
1.) Somebody puts a post in the thread that has nothing to do with the subject of the thread, but is inflammatory and designed to prompt replies on the same off-topic.
2.) You take that off-topic post (and its replies) out of the thread, and open a brand-new thread in an appropriate forum. Put that post as the OP, and any related replies as the replies they are.
There. You have INCREASED the visibility of that off-topic post, by providing an all-new thread with its own title RELATED to the (off-topic) post, with space for anyone to read and post all he likes.
That's hardly "censorship". In fact, it's the opposite: You have INCREASED the visibility and access to what the person said. Both for him, and for the people who want to reply to him.
And you have also increased the accessibility of the original thread, by preventing it from getting buried with irrelevant, off-topic posts.
The more I think about this, the more I like it.
Can it be done? Say, upon request of the original creator of the thread, and AFTER the moderators have looked it over and judged that the off-topic post is really diversionary?
Sure, it's more work for the mods, as if you all didn't have enough already. But I believe the results would be very positive - more so than a lot of the work you have to do here.

My sister called me a short while ago after talking to one of our cousins in Germany. It appears that both the bombing and camp shooting are the work of one male domestic terrorist, a Norwegian citizen who is currently in police custody. Several Islamic terrorist groups have attempted to take credit, but their claims have been discounted.
Looks to me like a domestic issue not unlike the Oklahoma City bombings.
Bush is only responsible for the rise of international terrorism since 2001. Therefore, he can't be the cause of the attacks in Norway.

Right along side the conservative faction still wanting to play the "blame Islam" every time a tragedy occurs.
i think we can wait before judging, it may be islamic radicals who did this, but no evidence yet, and we should wait.
At least one Islamic terror group quickly claimed the attacks were “revenge” for Norway’s engagement in Afghanistan, but last night Norwegian police said the attack did not appear to be the work of Islamist terrorists.
The man arrested in connection with the Utoya island shooting was named last night by the the justice ministry as Anders Behring Breivik, a 32-year-old Norwegian national. Investigators believe he was also involved in the bombing, but have not ruled out the possibility that he had accomplices.
A suspect in the shootings, and the Oslo explosion that killed seven people, was arrested. Though police did not release his name, Norwegian national broadcaster NRK identified him as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik and said police searched his Oslo apartment overnight. NRK and other Norwegian media posted pictures of the blond, blue-eyed Norwegian.
A police official said the suspect appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organizations at all." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police.
"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said. "This seems like a madman's work."
The official said the attack "is probably more Norway's Oklahoma City than it is Norway's World Trade Center." Domestic terrorists carried out the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, while foreign terrorists were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

It appears it was a Norwegian man working alone. He set the bomb and then went to the island to start killing people. The latest report was 80 dead on the island. Norway is a no gun society so this killer was the lone armed person. He seems to have just hated the government. This was well thought out and I suspect he planned to escape and the blame would have been put on muslim extremists, in the case of Norway the religion that cannot be named extremists. He fooled me along with many others. Unless he's recently changed his name to ackmed.

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
now you can expect world wide gov't security to be looking for more WHITE ALQueda. or just White angry citizens in general. See how the gun laws aren't strong enough in Norway even. We just can't let White men walk the streets. I'll post some white people's Hate filled writings to prove it. (hope the gov't doesn't read this forum or my post). We can't be safe with all these potentially dangerous angry EXTREMIST white males, Animals. Tim McVeigh and his Crew, all those serial killers... white males. Wait a minute I shouldn't broad brush it will hit me eventually.
