If they think a judge will decide in Steyn’s favor on that basis, or allow a jury to do so, they’re truly living in a counter-factual world.<br /><br />If you believe that there are still anything incriminating that could possibly be found about the 1998/99 Hockey Stick, then you are seriously deluded. And I´d hazard a guess that Mann is quite happy indeed by having Steyn exhaust his funds.<br />Mal Adaptednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-82263608982835416812016-05-02T12:12:32.136-04:002016-05-02T12:12:32.136-04:00Well, it seems that once again, as usual, Tom is u...Well, it seems that once again, as usual, Tom is unable to answer questions posed to him.<br />This speaks volumes to the emptiness of his positions.

For some, there is no such thing as bad publicity, as long as people are paying attention to you. "Look, look, someone wrote about me!"<br /><br />And what a great point Mann had. Stop pretending that there is a debate about climate change. Who are you trying to kid? At best you are preaching to the misinformed choir, and what is the point of that? If you took a step back from your little war against liberals, and viewed this subjectively, you would see how foolish you appear. Like the proverbial child with cookie crumbs on his face, hand in the cookie jar, claiming he did not get into the cookies. I guess to some playing the fool is a small price to pay for attention.

So then why not just call it what it is - "politeness. " <br /><br />I get it. People hate to be reprimanded on their manners. And I agree that the government should not be making laws trying to force people to be polite. There will always be rude and uncaring people, the law won't change that.

That is, what persuaded you to whole-heartedly, and without any doubt or reservations whatsoever, to believe that it is a choice? It must be very solid evidence to make you so darn sure of yourself.<br /><br />As for homosexuals flooding conventions and shouting down speakers, and pressing for legislation (how dare they!) what is wrong with that if it was not a choice for them? In that case it would be similar to sit-ins and other protests for civil rights in the 60's. And I agree that it is not about "scientific evidence" to them, it is about what they truly and deeply feel, what is real to them. Yes it is about "power" to them. The power to be treated fairly, and nonjudgementaly. About "fear"? How about the fear drilled deep inside of homosexuals from a young age that they are freaks, sinners, faggots who can be bashed and laughed at, and perhaps dragged behind a pick-up. That is real fear.<br /><br />They have forced social workers out of jobs? I bet there were those that complained that the Emancipation Proclamation forced whip makers out of jobs.<br /><br />Can you give me more detail on how kids are "encouraged" to explore homosexuality? <br /><br />And yes, Tom, there are many kids who may flirt with the taboo of "being gay". But they aren't the ones who have felt it since early childhood, ones who have always identified with being the opposite sex. And Tom, I hate to break it to you, but many, many gays get married to the opposite sex and have a family, due to social pressures or the desire to have kids. But getting married does not change their gayness. <br /><br />One more question. I live, more or less, in the same neck of the woods as you. How is this issue always "in your face"? I never encounter it anywhere around (Unless I read your column). Where are you going, and how are you encountering this exactly? <br /><br />I am not trying to "shut you up", I am just trying for civil discourse. Since you admit that, at least for some, gays may be getting a raw deal, and unfairly getting mocked and demeaned, why wouldn't you act accordingly and be more empathetic to their struggles? Why just assume the worst about them all?

One p...I read the article and I'm unpersuaded.<br /><br />One point here is to counteract the overwhelming pressure the homosexual lobby puts on organizations like the American Psychiatric Association. Militant homosexuals flooded its 1973 convention in Washington to shout down speakers saying things they didn't like and strong-armed the APA to drop homosexuality from the DSM as a mental illness. Recently they've pressured legislatures for reparative therapy to be outlawed in California and New Jersey. it's not about science for them. It's all about intimidation.<br /><br />Now that the American College of Pediatricians has come out against hormonal and surgical alterations of children confused about their sex, they're being targeted. The homosexual lobby is not about science. It's about power. It's about instilling fear.<br /><br />They've forced people with traditional viewpoints on homosexuality out of graduate programs in social work and other professions. With their enormous influence on universities, they strongly discourage studies about victims of child sexual abuse and their propensity to become homosexual as adults. It's never mentioned though it's likely the biggest single factor. It doesn't fit the narrative. It goes against their "Me too!" piggy-backing onto the Black Civil Rights Movement which has been so successful.<br /><br />With their growing influence on public schools at all levels, kids are encouraged to explore homosexuality. Many of my former students of both sexes have declared themselves to be "gay" thinking it was cool to do so, and later married opposite sex partners and had families.<br /><br />Mostly, it's the lying and bullying I see from the homosexual lobby. It's that so few dare to defy it. That's why I return to the issue -- because it's alway in my face. They're constantly pushing it. I just respond. They more they, and you, try to shut me up, the more I'll write about it. Haven't you figured that out by now?<br /><br />I could go on, but those are just a few of the "points."Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-45994095646965264102016-04-27T12:09:25.046-04:002016-04-27T12:09:25.046-04:00http://www.livescience.com/50058-being-gay-not-a-c...http://www.livescience.com/50058-being-gay-not-a-choice.htmlPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045130020607684069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-49048274430503074742016-04-27T12:08:43.798-04:002016-04-27T12:08:43.798-04:00It is very puzzling to me why some people act like...It is very puzzling to me why some people act like there is no possibility whatsoever that people might be born gay. What facts and science is this being based on? If you want to dismiss scientific evidence that suggests people are born gay, and dismiss what gays have to say about the matter, and the struggles they have to endure because they are gay, then fine. But what is the compulsion to constantly be harping on, and taunting, these people? What is your fascination all about?<br /><br />I feel strongly about this issue because I had a family member, who after years of self-hatred and shame, and constant struggles to rid himself of his homosexuality, committed suicide in the 1970's. He was brought up in a religious household and could not not handle the guilt. <br /><br />Snarky comments, based on nothing but pure opinion, do nothing to help anybody. But they can really hurt tremendously.<br /><br />I just don't see the point.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045130020607684069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-61152876127658189212016-04-27T11:54:16.764-04:002016-04-27T11:54:16.764-04:00Tom Said: "I hope I live long enough to see ...Tom Said: "I hope I live long enough to see the day when it’s finally exposed for the power-grabbing hoax it is.
