Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father.
@15: Actually, studies say kids from lesbian households do best of all in terms of emotional stability, etc. If we're trying to send kids to ideal households, we should favor those that have doubled down on the mommies over those who have mix and match genitalia. Besides, how does keeping kids with parents like these seem better than letting them be legally adopted by someone like Terry and Dan? The fact is, there are more kids than there are stable loving homes full stop, leaving aside only recognizing families with two parents of the opposite sex. Would you really say these opposite sex parents deserve more legal recognition as a family than a loving gay couple who provide a stable home for their children, or that it would be better for this girl to go back to her psycho stepmom and dad rather than being placed with a lesbian couple with who are raising other happy, well adjusted kids?

Uh, Marijuana Is Never Harmful?.
"...and it's pretty close to it's natural state in terms of processing, unlike, say, hash. similar to opium versus heroin. or coca leaves versus cocaine." Apologies if I'm failing a sarcasm detection roll here, @23, but last time I checked opium and coca were both still drugs.

SL Letter of the Day: Hope Not Nope.
What's with the random defensive rage at another poster, @20? EricaP was addressing another commenter who DOES think there partner with another person is sexy, at last as a fantasy. I'm personally a fan of monogamy, but when you jump down someone's throat for having a different sexuality than you and tell them they're degrading themselves and/or trying to project their sexuality on everyone around them for asking an innocent question...well, have you ever heard rants by those super homophobes that are obviously closet cases? I think you see where I'm going with this.

What the Hell Is It With Mitt Romney and Dogs?.
It's really more the beating it to death and then proudly putting it on a spit while covered is blood that is horrifying than the fact that they were eating dog meat, 8. I mean, there's a difference between doing what you have to do in order to survive when you're starving and you have no tools to kill whatever you're trying to eat humanely, and a bunch of bored rich little sociopaths chosing to inflict a painful, terrifying, prolongued death on a domesticated animal to feel manly or because they get off on it.

Santorum for Number Two!.
Wait, the 'moderate' they think will pull swing voters despite the fact that they slid all they way to the right in the primaries paired with the total nutbar religious fanatic that makes the dominionist base swoon but that terrifies/disgusts/amuses everyone else? Didn't that ticket already not do so well against Obama?
