Yeah, newsflash, homosexual's can have kids too. It's 2014 AD, not BC, cavemen stopped dragging women around a looooong time ago.
Then again, you watch the Flintstone's as if it were a history lesson.
Got a tip for us?

What has surprised me is we are over a 1000 posts, in and so far no one has put the blame for Tim Cook being gay on President Obama yet.
Exactly. Just like you won't give them a fair hearing either. You believe your bigoted religious garbage and think you have some right to judge others and decide what is right and wrong based on your book of fairytales. And we believe you're a worthless bigot for it. So there you go.
You can be born ignorant; and apparently can stay that way.
I do admire the fact that you refuse to eat from the tree of knowledge. Way to stick to your principles!
I design bridges...and I'm gay!
You better stop driving across rivers. You could be using a gay bridge...

Thats not a gay bridge.. That is rainbow road.
This is mostly an American peculiarity. As with a lot of social things, we Americans are infantilized on subjects of sexuality, equal rights, death, profanity on television, you name it...
Not saying that these views don't exist elsewhere in the world but the US is one of the few technologically advanced, first world nations that is behind on a number of things that other nations with comparable wealth/GDP per capita have moved well beyond culturally.
A lot of this traces back to the reintegration of religion into politics vis-a-vis Reagan's candidacy. Reagan was a Catholic and like Kennedy he feared that the Protestant majority in the US might not give him the election. So he purposefully pandered to/courted the Evangelical vote by enlisting the aid of another television personality, Billy Graham.
Since then, America has been sliding backward in terms of its intellectual maturity and we can't seem to handle even the very idea of debate where people constantly pull the religion/"this offends me" card to try to sidestep or censor debate entirely. Something that, in my experience, grown adults just do not do.
So there you are.
My point unclean foods were unclean before the ceremonial laws and science backs it up.
Ya as someone who teaches anthropology, this is wayyyy off. Many indigenous cultures incorporated sense of morality based on these abilities. And in fact, many of them did this much better than either early Judeo-Christian culture or our secularly based culture that we have today.
Making guns illegal, ...
1. is unrealistic
2. Would give the advantage to those who obtain them illegaly
Holy crap! When I first saw the article I thought that it was someones idea of a really bad joke or that someone had hacked MacRumors.
Well that it explains it! Now we all know where the obsession with being "thin and gorgeous" comes from. Edwina Monson! It's an Ab Fab thing.

So you want to live in a world where this kind of thing isn't news? Me too. Ask Tim, he's the one that made the statement. He could've kept it to himself wouldn't have made a difference either way to me. So in effect, it could be a "not news" thing but everyone is deciding to make it news. That being said I think it's stupid that people have to "come forward" Just live you life, who the hell cares what anyone thinks. This is America people are supposed to be free to do whatever they want.
I'm saddened at the fact that that is all you got out of it.
I don't know what "religious" means to you (but I infer by your tone, that's bad).
So let me cut to the chase: I believe the entire Bible. In it God gives HIS concepts for right and wrong. Unfortunately, homosexual behavior is one of those things. He also gives us the solution; what to do, when we do wrong in His eyes. The book is not about condemnation, but about forgiveness.
If you want more details, read it. Or don't. You are free to choose. No hard feelings. Cool?
Why should I listen to what you have to say? I don't think gays are horrible, evil people. But you think religious people are "worthless bigots".
Who sounds more reasonable? Me, or you?
Because it's obvious. After all he's married to a transvestite.What has surprised me is we are over a 1000 posts, in and so far no one has put the blame for Tim Cook being gay on President Obama yet.
You don't see anything hateful about comparing two gay people in a loving, committed relationship to prostitution and VD? You're blind.
Interesting. Apparently, you believe that those who are "educated", are the ones who have your own view.
I believe homosexuality is wrong, so I am stupid. And thankfully, we are dying away, so that the world will be a better place. (trying to make a point here)
There is good education, and bad education. Good education is, truth.
probably to prepare to make an announcement about a new Apple product designed for gays?
Honestly though... he's quote as stating why. Don't really need to explain it.
That's what I said. Do you remember that you're the one who challenged people to explain it?
It will be interesting to see what happens when he visits certain countries now. In many countries, gay men can be jailed or executed simply for being gay. As one myself, I would never take the chance to visit such places.
