From the Libertarian point of view, you can lead your life any way you see fit as long as you harm no one or their property. However, when an extremely small percent of the population can force the majority to change their beliefs and ideals, that is causing harm. Do what you want in the privacy of your own home and with whichever willing partner you choose. Marry your damn horse, I do not care. Just do not expect me to offer my support and change my lifestyle to suit you. I also have the right to live my life as I see fit, and if I do no harm, nobody should have the ability to attempt to correct me. Forcing me to make allowances for other's personal choices is not acceptable. There are still cannibals on this planet. Must I also accept their way of life without question? Who knows, judging by the link I supplied, there may be more of them than LGBTers.<br />Point is, we are all different. We should accept others for who or what they are - or not, but neither we nor they should have to change their belief structure just to be Politically Correct or to avoid hurting someone's feelings. If someone disagrees with your lifestyle, simply do not associate with that person. Do not try to force that person to see things the same way as you. That is not only unfair, but would lead to an extremely boring society if everyone thought and acted the same.Geoff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702402850031773761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-78285969747757589722014-07-17T16:08:10.883-05:002014-07-17T16:08:10.883-05:00I see that several people speak of the gay thing h...I see that several people speak of the gay thing here -- hell, it's a damn national sport/obsession ... as I joke: Never before have so many said so much about so few with so little information, fact, logic or reason ... and must fabricate nonsense.

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. If a Democrat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him. If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. A Democrat demands that those they don't like be shut down. If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. If a Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".Grumpy Curmudgeonhttp://grumpy52.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-68288987667335906982014-07-16T21:07:30.517-05:002014-07-16T21:07:30.517-05:00How can I become an illegal alien?

With Carney, meh. So what. I am sure that there are plenty of other despicable people at Apple or any other corporation, in the loose sense of the word (meaning ANY corporate body, e.g., the IRS/NSA)<br /><br />What can you really do? There are so many scumbags/psychopaths in power - I would be boycotting everything except Koch products. <br /><br />Look, the role of the free market is ... to be a free market of products. This mixing of politically-motivated boycotts into whether a product is good or not just isn't the right way for a market to run. Let the product die if it is bad. <br /><br />Of course there are limits - even I have them. Should Apple start promoting the idea of rounding up conservatives/libertarians for reindoctrination by the Gorpulant, that would certainly cross my line. Or, as 'progressives' often have in the past (in the Woodrow Wilson/Margaret Sanger era), they start advocating sterilization for the 'feeble minded' souls, another line is crossed. <br /><br />Meanwhile, let the free market work the way it is supposed - deliver a bad product, you go out of business. <br /><br />Use your votes in the ballot box as they were meant to do. Go out and vote. And may I add, vote Rand Paul. Ha!<br /><br />BTW, Stilt, lotta white people in that cartoon - was that 'racial animus' on your part? Ha! Sometimes I crack myself up ... sometimes.

The former secretary of state, who has been distancing herself from Obama, took an unmistakable jab at the current president in answer to a question about diminishing American clout in the world: “We have not been telling our story very well. We do have a great story.” Clinton said, “We are not perfect by any means, but we have a great story about human freedom, human rights, human opportunity, and let’s get back to telling it to ourselves first and foremost and believing it about ourselves and then taking that around the world. That’s what we should be standing for.” That’s a nearly identical criticism as leveled by many of Obama’s version of the national narrative.<br />-----<br />I fear this little pre-planned sound bite by the head of the Arkansas Mob will appeal to the hardcore female Dem's that think they found another false god to worship.<br />I'm holding my head and feeling waves of unrelenting nausea again ...Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531515666554867421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-68440502014344097832014-07-16T09:23:32.091-05:002014-07-16T09:23:32.091-05:00A job as a shark-suit tester would be good.
