My point is there is no rationale discussion of things like this. I personally have not been oppressed and I am against anyone being beaten or discrimianted against because they are gay. But I am trying to explain to you why these statements are so toxic to a group of people. I would howver point out that Jews have been the subject of discrimination and worse for about 1600 years. Once again read some history. Read about the Crusaders who stopped on their way to the Holy Land to demand the Jews of one German town convert. When they would not the noble crusaders burned the town killing men women and children. Read about the inquistion; Read about the expulsion of the jews from one country after another. Then come back and tell me you think these remarks are no big deal. > > _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
