lol, sorry if I seem "tense" on the issue of same-sex rights and things like that. I've been talking in American chat rooms too much lately; they are considerably more "hostile" toward me than here at the wonderful Canadian Content. Because of that, I think I might leap to defense too quickly sometimes.
lol

My brother is homosexual, he has a Masters of Divinity, and he works with the Anglican Church part-time giving lectures on the treatment of homosexuals in the Christian church.
I should explain he has been celibate for years, as he sees a conflict between his Christianity and his homosexuality. It is a very hard road he has chosen, and I respect him for it.
We were watching an episode of Six Feet Under in which a homosexual was beaten to death, and a right wing "Christian" (HA!) group appeared at the funeral with signs condemning the guy to Hell, along with all other homo-fornicators.
Now, I hardly consider myself an innocent, but I said to Bro....."these guys don't really exist, this is a smear on the religious right"
He showed me their website.
Talk about an education.
I thought I was past being shocked at just about anything.

I like Americans, I admire their nation, but man can they ever be weird on subjects like this.

A note of caution, in reading the terms and conditions and the site rules:
Be sure to clearly indicate if you are going to provide a link, by way of anecdotal proof, to a discriminatory Web site. My interpretation of the ToU, while I am no moderator or administrator, leads me to believe that this would be admissable only where there is plently of warning for what the person is in for.

I wiil, if you wish, e-mail my brother and get the site.
This is vastly off-topic (my fault) so if you want me to supply this, PM me, and I will PM you back.
(Nod to Five Paradox)
As well, I really don't want to promote these idiots, or, for that matter, hand the lefties ammunition.

I'm sorry, Hank, this was last Spring, and it was a place I only wanted to go to once.
What website were you referring to?

It's really a shame that people that really do exist. With all due respect to supporters of the Conservative Party of Canada, I think that it would be a relatively safe argument to say that those kinds of people somehow reflect negatively upon the Conservatives in the eyes of many mainstream Canadians.
As to why this happens, I'm not quite sure; I consider the Conservatives right-wing. But those "other people," I would consider über-right-scary-we-should-deport-them-to-the-Antarctic-for-acts-of-treason-against-humanity kind of scary.

Although I need to say I think that "mainstream Canadians" are completely wrong when they believe "those kinds of people somehow reflect negatively upon the Conservatives "

I agree completely.

I just hope that this big phoney gets less MP's than the NDP and lose in his own riding. That would make my day.
I hate the guy with such a passion. The way he treated the people who worked for Jean Chretien was disgusting. He will deserve every ounces of humiliation he gets.

Hey Jerry, welcome.
Sorry to tell you this,
Paul Martin is not going to implode the Liberal party like the PC days of yore (ah Kimmy where did we go wrong). He will lose but not by as much as the polls lead us to believe. Reasons being generally the majority of people do not know exactly who they will vote for until they have to mark the circle beside the name. (I know I am one of them…. Stupid hardliner Con in my riding makes it so much harder.)
He will lose the leadership unless, like FivePara says, he secures a consensus in the other governing parties, and is defeated in a week (Oh Boy……).
