Representative Steve Simon (DFL Hopkins/St. Louis Park) says a proposed Minnesota constitutional amendment is largely about religion. He says if sexual orientation is innate as science is showing us, and not a lifestyle choice, then God created gay people. He asks how many gay people must God create before we accept that he wants them around.

@kimbocat40 Sorry sister, but you couldn’t be more wrong. My POV doesn’t effect what happens in Africa. The fact you’re too dense to understand its possible to not approve of something that someone does without attacking that person in some manner is sad. I was and still am friends with gays from high school, and I’ve worked alongside gays in my professional life. Funny how you cry for tolerance for everyone, yet can’t tolerate someone else’s POV and lay baseless blame on them bc you disagree.

July 7, 2011 at 11:07 pm
@theonlyweez Yep, you need to youtube things, go look a the videos in some places in Africa they chase people out of their homes trying to kill them because it’s so “immoral.”
Its a BOOK, why judge people because some ink on some mashed up trees says so?
Casual homophobes like you are the cause teenagers in high school are cornered and hurt, in some cases they feel like they are useless and evil, they become depressed and even kill themselves. All because someone’s father is a bigot.

@kimbocat40 Wow, I’m spreading hate by disagreeing with a lifestyle and people are dying because of the ignorance radiating from me? Don’t think so. I’ve never harmed or encouraged the harm of any homosexual, and disagreeing with their lifestyle does not translate to personal hatred. That’s another far fetched claim that’s used too much, asserting that anyone who disagrees either hates or is homophobic.
The immorality comes from the “few thousand year old book” you’ve already dismissed.
kimbocat40
July 8, 2011 at 12:23 am
@theonlyweez HOW is it immoral?
They do not hurt anyone. People should be allowed to do what they want if it doesn’t hurt people.
The only place that says it’s wrong is a few thousand year old book, which could of been changed by anyone at all. You don’t have any power of what they want to do so stop spreading your hate. People die because of the ignorance that radiates out of you!

Lol…..you said the MAJORITY of SOME people. Nevertheless, many people choose things that get them teased or harassed. An estimated 126,000 Christians will be killed this year for their faith. Who would choose that either?? Another quick question for you peeps….shouldn’t you also be fighting for siblings to marry, I mean….who would make that choice in the face of harrassment?? So if they do it….they were born that way right?? I mean….if it doesn’t effect you its not wrong. Right?

July 8, 2011 at 12:36 am
@theonlyweez Ya cause gay people just choose to be gay. Cause they wake up one morning and say ” hey, i want to be gay so i can be harrassed, be called names, and be treated differently” Now im not saying there are not people who are gay just for attention, but the majority of some people are truley gay and they can’t help it… Now i dont care what the bible says, it was written a long time ago and translated so many different times, so dont even bother throwing the bible down my throat.

@kimbocat40 Not sure what you want explained, how the arguments are flawed?
To the other 2 questions, God gave us many things we can use that can be used wrongly, we all have the ability to go out do wrong tons of different ways with what God gave us that can be used the way it was intended. Just because God gave us the ability to do it doesn’t mean that it is ok. What is wrong with homosexuals? They’re choosing a lifestyle that is immoral and refusing to own up to it.

July 8, 2011 at 5:10 am
@kimbocat40 Your point I was replying to was this… “Monkeys, dogs, rabbits, dolphins all have sex with the same gender,
they’re all animals not pressurised by human standards.
How is it NOT natural?”
I was pointing out the flaw in the argument. I don’t know where the 2nd part of your post comes from or how it applies to what I’ve said, but comparing someone who abstains from sex such as a priest, nun, monk, to someone who indulges in what some see as an immoral act of sex is also flawed.

@twosulcata It is my choice.
Homosexuals can do what they want without being judged by “god minded” people.

July 8, 2011 at 5:59 am
@twosulcata Science made everything.
My own mind has chosen to be athiest and I will never admit that god is real, I’d rather eat my own tongue.
Every breathe I draw is thanks to my parents having sex and the fact I have healthy lungs.
Every beautiful thing is the fact human eyes like symmetry and the fact the wind and rain has shaped the landscape.
Don’t you dare lecture me, it’s none of your business what I believe in as it hurts no one.
Homophobia does.
kimbocat40
July 8, 2011 at 6:33 am
@theonlyweez Yes and MY point is, that homosexuality hurts no one,
Why act like it’s evil when it’s not?
If its because gay people cant have kids, neither can priests,nuns or monks,
Asexuals don’t have sex and some peole find it impossible to reproduce. That must mean they are all also “sinners.”
theonlyweez
July 8, 2011 at 7:15 am

people r only afraid because thats how they hav been taught but if being gay is sin god will judge when the time comes. cuz quite franky nothing about u makes u better than them, we all lauge, cry, bleed, grow old and die. if the roles were reversed we would be cryin about how they treat us. the bible was not put here to create violence but as a record of history for us to learn from. n the bible many times its shown that a violent nation never lasts. so leave them alone, let god judge not man.

@kimbocat40 You may say God is not real, but I know very differently. Again He gave you free will to choose Him or reject Him. There will be a court of law where your knee will bow and tongue will confess who made you. And because He still loves you even though you reject Him, by his grace you will have to the day you die to search and find Him. Every breath you draw is by Him. Every beautiful thing you see is by His hand. Every cloud, every flower. God is everywhere. Man is w/o excuse.

Transparancy in the marketplace
The global monetary travel of capital
Then you’ll understand that he is trying to make a point with the short time that is given to him…I agree he is old but Ronald Reagan was really old too so please don’t use CAPITAL LETTERS TO PERSONALLY ATTACK SOMEONE it shows rabidness lol

100% gov run?
I’m confused on Ron Paul’s positions, he doesn’t seem to be pro government, yet he’s sort of going to a pro gov. policy… he hasn’t said if he wants a gov central bank, but I’m guessing he doesn’t…. He’s not an expert, though he talks a lot…?

@jrwel14 It’s always those with trust funds, multiple homes & millions abroad who say, “Tax me”. And since none of those has a W-2, you’d have to tax capital gains at 90% destroying the stock market. (Hey, that’s a twofer!) If they want to give away their money, I don’t give a rat’s ass. Just don’t pretend that this one-time “gift” will solve our problems or produce prosperity. Marxism demonstrated that wealth does not come from transferring money but from production. Bye

Warren Buffet, Donald Trump. There is a website of over 50 millonaires who wants the country to tax them.

Now, Leona Helmsley said that taxes are for the little people.

By the way, in 2007, the top 1% paid more than the bottom 95%.
The reason your “soak the evil rich” won’t work is that their income is not a W-2. It’s mostly inherited or marriage (Kennedy, Kerry, Rockefeller, Feinstein, etc) and mostly capital gains taxes at a lower rate.

If anyone is confused about why RP is crusading against the Federal Reserve just read up on what past presidents have said about banking institutions, try searching “banking quotes” and names like Jefferson, Jackson, Garfield, Madison, Lincoln and Wilson. Here’s a good example:
“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it’s issuance.” — James Madison

July 8, 2011 at 9:48 pm
@Jononutoob My point isn’t that an audit would politicize the Fed, but that it would make monetary policy ineffective because major decisions could be anticipated by Wall Street (and foreign financial markets) before coming into effect. You might see it as criminal for the Fed to withhold the names of banks, I see it as reckless to reveal them. Such revelations would surely bankrupt firms that needed loans because investors would not trust them. Great strategy for a double-dip.

July 8, 2011 at 10:19 pm
@Alexeiyagdonovich There are horrible consequences for our economy to stay how it is. Also please dont attempt to tell me that an audit of the Fed would politicize it. Do you want me to list the names of people who jump from jobs at the FED to Treasury? Or CEO of major corporations? The FED is independent in its profits but not in its policies. Also when Bernanke refuses to tell congress what banks they loan to I see that as criminal. That is OUR money, gone, yet to who? Nobody will tell.
