Opinion: Why gay role models matter
No different than having rheumatoid arthritis (mild) or downs syndrome (severe). Both are genetic issues. I wouldn't be ashamed to have those either. But I'm not going to sit here and say that it is a course of evolution that is sustainable or that my genes would be selected over time...they wouldn't. That was my point. People who attacked me earlier simply didn't understand the bottom line. And that is...we will never be 'normal'. No matter how patronizing these threads get. Hetero's will always look at us as freaks....no matter what they may tell themselves or their leftie friends.

Opinion: Why gay role models matter
Why do all of you assume I'm not gay? I just wanted to know what you thought. I am gay. I think it is a genetic defect. I also think Darwin would say the same. I don't have evidence...just my opinion. I wanted to know yours.

Opinion: Why gay role models matter
They should have the same rights. I don't believe it is a choice. The action is a choice. I don't care what they do.
My question was: What would Charles Darwin's opinion be? Obviously as it relates to Natural Selection.
Are there Naturalists out there that actually believe that this genetic condition makes the species stronger?

Opinion: Why gay role models matter
What would Charles Darwin have to say about homosexuality? Eventually the flaw will be eliminated. It occurs in nature but is a genetic defect. We don't have a choice on our genetic makeup. I don't care who you sleep with...but to teach that is is something other than a genetic defect is a lie.

City commissioner wants state to revoke nightclub's liquor license
"Schumm — who is a downtown bar and restaurant owner — also said he thought the city should take additional steps to prevent the building from being used as a nightclub by other operators in the immediate future."
Ummm...can you say Conflict of Interests??? How do you say what the building can or can't be used for in the future? For those of you that use and abuse the word 'corruption'....this is what it looks like at its tadpole stage.

Bid for recreation center comes in about $10 million lower than expected; questions grow over other cost estimates
We can't just bypass representative democracy whenever we feel like it. You couldn't get your council elected in an incredibly blue city and now you want to bypass the voters of Lawrence? I've agreed with your stance on this all along but we can't bypass our system based on our opinions. We need to let the voters of Lawrence feel the pain of their decision for anything to ever change.

Road work on K-10 bypass begins Friday; downtown and 23rd Street bridges reopen
yeah...other than the work is unnecessary. If you think it is necessary or if you think returning money means wastefully spending it.....then you need to revisit what 'idiotic' means.

Road work on K-10 bypass begins Friday; downtown and 23rd Street bridges reopen
....and you know this is not charity work from the Feds? Are you trying to say that Kansas doesn't get any money from the Fed for infrastructure? Republicans are just as irresponsible as Demorats. They just happen to look out for everyone...not just the ones who don't contribute. Either way...it is a waste of money. A trait that is dominant within the Obama administration. This is simply charity work. The road is not in need of repair and certainly not resurfacing.
