Yes, a sexually-reproducing population of 100% homosexual individuals would die out (assuming they were completely unwilling to engage in heterosexual coitus merely for reproductive reasons).

But then, that's never been the case, has it. Nor will it ever be. Homosexuality will continue to exist in the population of every species at some stable level, despite your protestations of "biology and science" or "sand is food."

A trait does not have to be beneficial in order for it not to be a flaw. Traits can exist that are completely neutral.

The attractiveness of certain eye or hair colors are strictly cultural constructs, that have changed over the ages.

And at that, I'm going to take the advice of James Hamilton below, and end this, as it serves no purpose to continue this in the face of ignorance.

I do believe that scene is the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.

"The one wrapped, swaddled by the snake" is in fact, the serpent offering the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The sword wielding figure is the angel banishing them from the Garden.

Archbishop Nienstadt believes he gets to lecture to all the rest of us.

And yes, lecture us is exactly what he is doing. Despite his declarations of a desire for "respectful dialog" he has refused to do anything but issue dictats to the state of Minnesota.

With all the gerrymandering and Representatives choosing their constituents that goes on under the current system?

I can't even fathom the outright war that would go on during re-redistricting under your proposed system.

Ryan had his own smirk all night, as if he were thinking "toss out all the facts you want, old man, I'm going to keep lying and get away with it."

Posted on 10/11/12 at 10:00 am in response to Bachmann, Graves introduce Graves to voters — in their own ways

Perhaps Michele should remove the beam from her eyes before accusing someone else of lying.

Posted on 10/11/12 at 02:11 pm in response to Bachmann, Graves introduce Graves to voters — in their own ways

I've seen nothing to indicate they're attacking the United Way per se.

They're accusing Graves of lying that he was on the board, when he actually served on a board level committee for the annual fund drive.

You know, legislators HAVE tried you approach. They've tried to grant
some of the rights of marriage to gay couples legislatively, without
calling it marriage. They've tried to grant health insurance benefits,
they've passed the "last wishes" bill, ensuring that a surviving
partner has rights to claim the remains of their partner, they tried
to ensure that couples will not be denied access to one another if one
is in the hospital.

All of those...

you mention the once a decade redistricting: that census is taken in April, when school is in session. The students are counted where they are living while in school (on the day of the census),

By barring them from voting in their college town, that district is getting undue representation, and their hometown is being underrepresented.
