I wasn't debating you. I'm being technical, and not taking you to a debate. I agreed with your posts, and I just stated that the voting results are not a poll. I agree overpopulation is a problem, and there are schools that do really well in big cities. When I say big cities, I mean big cities in Iowa too. Don't misjudge what I mean. Take some of your own advice. Again. Most people I know take what I mean the first time I say it, sorry for the dialect handicap we have.
Freakin Des Moines voted Kerry. I'm surprised the other little counties pulled enough votes for Bush to gain 13,000 more votes.
Note that all the lighter blue states are barely won by Bush, (20 states)
While the darker blue states are 70% to 90% voting Bush. (10 states)
Darker the red, the more Kerry the state voted. (21 including DC)
I find it odd that the people who voted for bush overlooked this horrible war in Iraq and all the lies that got the country there, failed to see that he put the country at a greater terrorist threat, and overlooked many of his failed policies and fiascoes in order to what? Make sure that they don't have to see two men kissing?
I think that it is also amusing that the "heart of the country" who are supposed to be so god-faring and just have no problems with all the death going on in iraq (probably cause it's only muslims dying for the most part) and are so eager to stop homosexuals from getting married. Turn the other cheek folks. You know what they say about men who fear homosexuals that much.

I think thats what the rest of the world wonders too.
I can not understand how anyone would vote bush.
unless of course your main quam with kerry is he is a "homosexual lover" youre 28 cant divide 9 by 3 and get paid 6.50 an hour at a dead end job.
Here is the perfect example of a Bush hater that really lost it:
Man! A Total loser!

Perhaps Dubya got some "free" votes, just like he did from that electronic voting machine in Ohio.

Right, turn the other cheek. Exactly what Jesus taught in the New Testament. It's funny that so many "God-fearing" people who think abortion is an abomination because "all life is precious" don't have a problem with the mass murder of over 100,000 innocent civilians in Iraq.

Personally I don't care if they all do each other in their own home. All I care is that they don't make a big deal about being gay. I don't really care if someone likes to love animals on their farm. I do want Marriage to be a man and woman, but a civil union or something called Gay Marriage should be made to pacify the people who really care about titles.
I don't see religious people as not accepting gays. My friend's cousin (an adopted child) was accepted at his sister's and his wedding (to opposite sexes/ Their own weddings). He wasn't outcast from family or religious events.
Tell me how 2 women or 2 men are supposed to have children? Scientifically it just doesn't make sense. Yeah adopt, and then? The kid grows up and he is tossed around mentally because he/she doesn't have the normal parents. If you don't believe it will happen, just go and check out a play ground when kids talk to each other. It's not pretty.
Anyhow, Iowa had this judge that took a case to divorce a lesbian couple. The judge shouldn't have even looked into the case by law because Iowa doesn't recognize lesbians as marriage. The judge wasn't voted out. People do forgive. You just don't hear about it.

whats f**ked up is i am totally straight and yet im offended.
you act like you respect gay people but yet you equate them to
sheepf**kers...how judgmental you are.
you need to be a GOOD christian and leave the judging up to god.
I'm not judging, I said I personally don't care if there are other people who love animals... There are people on farms that love to do stuff to cattle and sheep. We are supposed to accept them all. I don't need to know they did that stuff is what I said. I don't respect people because they are gay, I respect people because they have potential to do good.
I also didn't equate gays with sheep lovers. There are both in Iowa, and I am to treat them as I treat straight lovers. I don't really care how people live, I also wonder if they even have to say anything. Do they feel embarrassed in the bathroom? I have no idea.
I leave the judgment up to truth, aka god.
Gay doesn't make a person bad, they can do good works for others without having to perform anything sexual, which is sexual abuse if it is straight anyhow. Seriously, I shouldn't have to explain it.
So you think sheep lovers should get put in the slammer? I think they'll die from some horrible disease anyhow.
What about gay sex? I don't think that can be healthy. Niether is smoking, so I guess leave them to it if they want it so bad.

well you should explain it because i have no idea what you said.
do you mean that someone can be a good gay person so long as they dont have gay sex?
but anyway, this is what i mean by judgemental.
the last time you met a straight couple, has the vision of the 2 of them screwing ever popped in your head? have you ever equated their existance as a couple with them having sex? or do you just see them as a couple, and although you know they DO have sex, the thought never really crossed your mind because you dont really care? you probably wouldnt care right? i know i dont.
so why is it that the term 'gay' instantly invokes a vision of 2 men screwing in your mind? im repulsed by the image as well...but i am also repulsed by the mental image of really fat people screwing...so guess what? i dont think of it.
and if you HAVE to think of people screwing to make a mental connection to the word "gay" try thinking of two hot lesbians, and you may not be so repulsed.
