Sushi, I can't help it if homosexual activist Judge Walker wanted to overturn the votes of over seven-million Californians.
Sushi, you do know Judge Walker is a homosexual activist judge, don't you?

Sushi, of course I have.

No? -Didn't think so.
Moderator: You can't say "No? -Didn't think so," until a reader has had a chance to reply to you.

Your argument is getting weaker by the minute.
Sushi, you're projectin' again.
I'll put it to you this way since we don't agree on the meanings of words: How are homosexual behaviors not deviant?

Madverts, I thoroughly enjoy where it deviates from the norm. -Wouldn't change it for anything. I just don't demand that it be elevated and recognized as normal... because it's not. I don't put my personal selfishness on society.

And, sorry, your claim - your opinion - of 'deviant behavior' is not a rational answer.
Sushi, before we can have a rational argument, we have to agree on the meanings of key words such as what constitutes 'normal' and 'deviant' behaviors.

Cleo, five cities... thirty-five cities... I don't care to go into my efiles and wade through it. People were warned... their government chose to call it 'propaganda'.
Every aspect of US foreign policy with respect to countries that are not exactly friendly has had The Bombs propped up in the corner of the room.
Again you are correct, Cleo. The US was the only nation with nuclear weapons and we threatened any nation who didn't do our evile bidding.

Sushi, I don't know what I've said that makes you believe I'm Christian. I do admire what I understand true Christians to be.
I'm largely conservative. Most folks who've invested in themselves, their family, and their country usually are. They start off as liberal but as they work for those things, I've mentioned they usually become more and more conservative.
I'm liberal - no, even libertine - in that I don't care what you and another guy, or a number of other guys - want to consensually do with each other as consenting adults (chronologically anyway) behind closed doors. It doesn't take anything away from me that you're havin' a good time. Please just keep the noise down after 10 PM. That's the traditional time for bein' courteous in the evenin'.

Peace, I'm against deviant human behaviors bein' promoted as normal... and with the government's stamp of approval.
I don't care if an adult swears an oath to another human bean or his right hand. I'm enjoyin' myself right now enjoyin' a communion of sorts with you and other members of the JT Olympics. We can't allow ourselves to be distracted from sharin' our quality time with each other as we do.

Cleo, as you acknowledge, civilians were warned to get out of the cities. I believe five cities were warned so the Japanese government couldn't pin down exactly what city would be hit on what day.
And, no, I don't care if you thank the US a little or in whole. The fact is many Allied nations and partisan civilian populations won Dubya Dubya Two.
Cleo, put on your thinkin' beanie: Since 1945 - for over sixty-five years (on 9 August) - no atomic or nuclear bombs have been used militarily or to promote a religious armeggadon. Dya think those two bombs've had anything to do with it? I believe it has.
(Of course, the apocolyptic 'religion of peace' leaders in Iran - for one - say they intend to change your world with a couple. Duck and cover, amiga.)

Peace, of course two women shouldn't marry each other.
'Marriage' is between one man and one woman, silly.
Basically - as with their male counterparts - I don't care what two (or more) consenting homosexual women want to do to each other.

Sushi, a childish argument: Most members of society who oppose homosexual marriage must be (those evile) 'Christian's', 'conservatives', or both.
Most of the citizenry in Hawaii oppose homosexual marriage and they fall into neither of those categories.
But you can keep on shovin' people into those preconceived boxes you have. Then you don't have to put much effort into thinkin' about it.

Madverts, a childish position: A member of a society who opposes homosexual marriage must be homosexual only he or she doesn't know it.
Ya can'ts lose that argument.

Peace, no. I wanna bone both of 'em if they're my type. But then again, maybe I'm deviant. I think most men would so maybe that's the norm. It's good to be normal in that regard.

Civilians have been regular victims of was (sic)
And they always will be. Always.
Back to our story: I believe it was Sir Winston who declared 'total war' in Dubya Dubya Two... maybe it was Hitler, but I think it was Churchill.
No?

Sushi, it's not a 'civil rights' issue.
That's where you're bein' manipulated.
Most American blacks would like to set you straight on that...

No... Some behaviors are different because they deviate the norm. Normal behaviors are normal.
Or are you tryin' to change the definition of 'normal' as you are tryin' to change the defintion of 'marriage'?
What angst? I don't care about consenting adult homosexuals unless they or any other group or their supporters try to fundamentally change my society.
I do find two men swappin' spit in public physically repulsive? You don't? It doesn't threaten me or cause me your 'angst'. It's just repulsive.

You're right. It served the Allies no purpose to say why they should get outta Dodge. The Japanese were workin' on their own bomb and they weren't braggin' about it either.
All I remember about Colonel Tibbets is that he had no moral qualm about droppin' the bomb and I believe he remained unapologetic up to his death. Maybe you would've, too, if you lived in those times and experienced what he and others did.
So... Maybe you can answer what Cleo chooses not to: Has any good come outta those two bombs bein' dropped sixty-five years ago?

If the Japanese want to smoke, that's their business.
I don't wanna micro-manage the simple pleasures of foreigners.
It's legal in my country for those of age and should remain so.
