I had a good laugh the other day when someone in the chat room that I frequent said and I quote "America is less descrimitive then Canada." Unquote.
Is that so?
Seems to me that Canada doesn't have a president or a prime minister for that matter, who is trying to make same sex marriages un constitutional and pushing an amendment which states that marriage shall only be between a man and a woman, since that's what it says in the bible which was written before anyone was born by a white man with a tape recorder who watched God create the earth.
Good piece of Fiction in my opinion.
See that's what I don't understand because twenty to thirty some odd years ago someone got all bent out of shape because there was prayer in school, now I for one don't care if there is prayer in school, what gets me is that they make it so you have to separate church and state.
Which means no prayer in school, no holy symbols on college campuses and one town had to take down a large marble statue of the ten commandments, but it's okay to make a amendment stating a marriage is the union of a man and a woman.
How is that right? Schools, college campuses and any Government type buildings have to keep church and state separate, so how is our "president" able to blur that line?
But remember the US isn't descrimitive. I'm thinking that the person who said that either has been living out of the country, been dropped on their head one to many times when they were a kid, has smoked to much pot or drank to much alcohol and has killed off way to many brain cells.
Look at what the United Stated did to the people from Africa, brought them over on tiny boats in order to live in a life of servitude for fat, lazy, aristocrats that figured free labor was better because it allowed them to line their pockets.
The Irish came here looking for better opportunities and were either turned away or worked for very little money that hardly paid for food let alone a place to live.
The tribes that were here before the settlers even thought about coming here were moved from their land, killed and even hunted for sport simply because they were different.
A once proud nation is now scattered to the winds with some tribes no longer existing and how do we repay them?
We stick them on reservations, take their land and call it outs simply because of our greed.
Even the children weren't immune to this countries greed. Sweatshops hired them and paid them little. So many children had died because they were trying to help their family make better lives for themselves and it wasn't until someone brought it to another persons attention that it was stopped and a law was passed, but how many years did it last before someone noticed?
Now it's the homosexual's turn. We are the Africans, the Irish and the "Native" Americans, but we come in all races and walks of life. We are hated, protested against, murdered, beaten and raped simply because we love differently.
It is like the color of our skin. We cannot change it or be cured because of it. There is not one among us that simply woke up one morning and said, "Today and for the rest of my life I am gay, because I want to be thought of as a disease, I want the crap beat out of me at school, I want my parents to disown me, I want some kid to yell across the street that I'm gay, be called a freak, a faggot, a carpet muncher, and told that I'm going to hell because God hates homos. Yes, that's what I want!"
No one would simply get up and choose to live in constant fear that one day you're going to end up dead because someone hates you for loving someone else that just so happens to be the same sex.
No one wants to tell their parents that they're gay when they know that their parents are homophobic and their children live in fear that their parents will find out. So they put up a mask, date people of the opposite sex, keep who they are in the "closet" and pretend that they are "normal". Because they fear that their parents will disown them and cast them aside.
No one wants to go up to their best friend since first grade and tell them that they are gay only to have that friend tell them that they can't handle that and end their ten-year friendship then and there. Not even caring that even though they are attracted to the same sex, they are still the same person that the friend has known forever.
Do people think that the homosexual community wants those things to happen to them? That they "choose" to be gay so that those things and so much more will happen?
No! We don't choose to have our lives be miserable, always looking over our shoulders and wondering if someone will get offended and try to off us. We don't choose to have our lives turned upside down by hate crimes, but remember folks. According to all the closed minded people out there, we "choose" to have this crap in our lives. We "choose" to be called child molester and be told that we're recruiters.
Because the United States isn't discrimintive, so therefore, it must be our fault, because we "choose" to be this way.

Simple, it sounds like you're blaming all America... well if your going to blame present America (illegal immigration, war, etc) then talk about current problems. What has happened, has happened. It's done, it's over with, and it's taught in high school. Now for you to have true and total rights to whine about what America has done , then please build a time machine, and fix it. Other wise, whining about it will do nothing but make quick-to-judge people very piqued.
I wonder if you ever heard about the civli rights movement? Well, it's over. The only people that protest African Americans are the KKK.
I don't believe anyone protest and beats up people for being Irish in America anymore, I have never gotten an black eye, or beat up.
If you haven also realized, some Native Americans want to the stay on the reservations. That's because they don't want to change. You almost could relate them to the Amish people. They would like the "outsiders" out.
Now homosexuality isn't that much of a problem. I'm guessing in the next few years there will be a "rainbow" movement. Even though I'm straight, some of my friends are bisexual, and hell, I'll be joining in for this movement, because I really don't care what kind of sexual preference my friends have.

It's more or less explaining that the US isn't known for it's "open mindedness" and that maybe we aught to be in light of past events.
If you see this as whining then you aren't getting the entire picture of what I am trying to say. I'm not blaming the US as a whole, but pointing out that it needs to be FIXED.
Though everyone has their opinion and you are entitled to yours. I just thought I'd clear that up for you.

I'm sorry if I missunderstood what you said, I just couldn't make out what your standpoint was...
