"Am I Gay?" - it will keep the tabloids guessing I guess- more fodder for the telivisio-industrial-complex

come on - it's a business - it's all about the money - if you want the past purity and glory of years gone buy you'll have to start a strictly amateur league.
Do it sooner rather than later, before some bright spark claims the game as their intellectual property

Of course the answer is encrypt everything - https: is your friend - something Kim Dotcom should already have been aware of

The thing about this film that seems to be forgotten is that it's really seems to be an Egyptian domestic political play - it was made by Egyptian Coptic Christians to provoke Egyptian Muslims - sure it was made in the US and most of the push back has been towards the US - but I don't see how that is in the Copt's interest, it was probably unintentional - unless maybe the purpose was to have the US come down on their side against the new Egyptian govt.
And I'm sure the film's not representative of all or even most Copts, as much as the people killing in the film's name are representative of most Muslims

I think that when the Tea Party wake up and realise that it was them that Romney was talking about as the 47% things will get really interesting ....

Lilith - it's not that long ago (my childhood) when being a bastard was a really big deal, a source of great shame, thank goodness for the 60s/70s and all that

hmm - reading the current Marriage Act, I didn't realise it is illegal in NZ to call someone a "bastard" (unless they actually are)

I wasn't actually angry, I just pointed out he was unlikely to get either of my votes - I'd previously written him nice note explaining how marriage equality was a family friendly thing to do (at least for my family)
Mind you he's catholic, and used to run the local Catholic hospital, there might really be a bishop calling his vote for him, we constituents may have been pipped by his religion here

hold your nose and write him a nice note (a bit like the not so nice one I just wrote to my National list MP)

I'm continually being confused by these competing ideas coming from the antis:
"Gay marriage changes everything, it will destroy our society"
"Gay people already have all the rights of marriage in civil unions, it's a tiny change, why bother"
Really I guess we're really arguing about a word "marriage" - who gets to use it, on the right we have people who want to use it as a type of apartheid, separate but equal, they're putting up walls around their lager to protect against the majority who accept and love their gay friends and family ... and now the gays want to move into the neighbourhood, buy the house next door, start a family, send them to their schools
Of course it's about more than a word, it's also about adoption too - something no one's really talking about - I bet they see a future with a bunch of Modern Families moving in next door - guess what - there are gay families with kids everywhere already, they're already next door - they don't just happen when two guys adopt ....
