What a HYPOCRIT you ,   are Talula!!!!!!!!!!   (06.16.09)
62. #46Prove to me that the law of Genesis does NOT apply2gays.
Rueben ,   Israel   (06.16.09)
To say that gays are born that way would have to mean that their parents were born gay,and their parents were born gay, and so on,&so on. Everything produces after it's own kind. Do you get watermelons when you plant corn? Do snakes produce elephants? ALL of creation has been ordered to produce after it's own kind. You have to make a DECISION to change something to be different from what it was origionally intended to be.

Aida ,   Ca, USA   (06.16.09)
If you want to rally do so, but dont ask straight people to go with you. It is your decision who you want to be, but please, do so with the respect you have to have for the ones who are not gay. Respect yourself too

ilan ,   ta   (06.16.09)
sorry buddy, your argument couldn't be weaker. i could have said 60 years ago "after we allow the jews to have a country, what is next? a country for tall people? a country for fat people?" come up with something stronger that makes sense and doesn't show your lack of tolerance for people other than yourself.

so now issues are only worthy if enough people die? one isn't enough? one means nothing to you? sick.

the straight parade goes on everyday. walk in the street and you'll see straights parading everywhere. there should be a gay parade every month!
70. #62 the scientist
Lisa   (06.16.09)
really? to be born smart would mean the parents have to be smart- stupid people have stupid parents? Tall parents have tall kids, Don't compare apples and oranges by comparing watermelons and corn... Ever heard of chromosomes? There are things you nor anybody else have no control over. Being gay is one of them, treating people with respect we have control over- use it, LOL
71. 47 - wrong!
Man ,   The Earth   (06.16.09)
All things that were created by God are perfect! The most precious thing that God created and gave to man and woman is free will. The mankind(en masse) misuses this gift. They ignore Living God and His laws, so they remain ignorant in their darkness and become lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure etc. "Regardless of what" you would think, say and do, you will not be able to change God Creator, the only One Lawgiver and Judge, so you remain subjects to His Holy laws forever and unconditionaly. Now you choose!

gay israeli   (06.16.09)
It is such a fun city. But I don't live there anymore. I have usually lived in the periferies- yes, amongst the bigoted straights.
73. Stacey Maltin A perfect place for gays?
Ernie Kugel ,   Lakewood NJ USA   (06.16.09)
We Jewish people believe in the Torah, the original Bible. G-D tells the Jews that he will give them the land of Canan / Israel, which is our only claim to this beautiful land. However G-D does warn us not to do what the people from Canan have done Homosexuality, Bestiality, and serving fake gods. Because G-D hates people that do those terrible things, and G-D calls them an Abomination. So it is safe to say that this is a matter of national security. Now I know that some of us don’t fully understand, what is so wrong with Homosexuality, Bestiality? Well instead of trying to convince the rest of us that there is nothing wrong, why don’t you spend some time and join some classes at any Aish , Ohr Sameach, or Chabad center. Or any other religious outreach centers and all your questions will be answered.
74. #70Treating people w/respect&same reproduction are 2 diff-
You are scientif- ,   ically stupid.Rueben   (06.16.09)
erent things. Yes we should show respect to all,but the argument here was NOT about respect, it was about gay people being born gay.When G-D created Adam and Eve, he said it was VERY good. And he ordered them to multiply & replenish the earth. Not one time have I ever read where G-D said-"You know, just in case Adam and Eve don't like the choice of gender that I created for them, I will create a seperate Eva for Eve, and I will also create a seperate Steve for Adam. As far as your argument tall people producing tall children, and smart to smart----a seed will produce EXACTLY just like the one it came from.
75. Put them ALL on an island.They will eventually die off & the
world will be rid of ,   their ilk. Maurie   (06.16.09)
76. Wow, what an amazing ignoramus
usa   (06.16.09)
"The state of Israel was created in responce to the Holocaust " A jewish state would of came into being Holocuast or not. Homosexuality always was and will continue to be a perversion and an immorality. If one can not see a moral destinctions between gays and straight and both are normal, then a terrorist is a freedom fighter and then what's the point of being a Jew. Having Gay pride parades doesn't win you any friends in EU or America, they still want to chop up Israel into pieces.
77. What about beastiality pride parade?
(06.16.09)
What's next in moral degradation?
78. 77 , if you want , try to organise one and be an actor there
(06.16.09)
79. Talkbacks sickening
Proud Secular Jew   (06.16.09)
To all of you talkbackers who hate people because of their sexual orientation - don't you understand that you are bashing the very point of Zionism? What's wrong with Israel being a country that gives its citizens freedom? No Arab country does it, and even many Western countries don't have as vibrant gay communities as Israel. T here is no problem with having freedom in our dark corner of the world.
80. Rueben , had all the tall people tall parents ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.16.09)
But you show you "great" scientific "knowledge" by comparing snakes and elephants . And if a god created Adam and Eve , who created Steve ? If he thinks it's bad , why did he allow them ? It's their free will ? if my children try to do something wrong ," their free will " , i will NOT allow it
81. #70 cloning
Lisa   (06.16.09)
we are talking about accepting gay people as humans and members of society- not reproduction. Not every body on earth wants 20 children in today's society- . A person can be God fearing and a member of a religious community without children, right? as for smart to smart, 'you are scientifically stupid, Rueben': you are talking about cloning- this is the only guaranty that your offsprings will be just as smart as you- . Many parents of average intelligence have super smart kids- and smart parents can have absolutely dumb kids- or mentally handicapped children. Human procreation is a bit more complicated than planting tomatoes. Quoting God: 'multiply and replenish the earth'....the word was 'replenish' not over populate it.
82. I agree with Tahl #37. Bring it on!
Jake   (06.16.09)
Gay men? The more gays the merrier. (No pun intended!) That translates to more eligible bachellorettes, as far as I'm concerned.
83. #49 Bobbie, your post makes no sense
Jake   (06.16.09)
You need the hostile comments of an Arab to validate or invalidate your claim to the Land of Israel? That's ridiculous. And what exactly is a "child of Abraham" supposed to look like? Abraham did not wear a kippa , or tzitzis, and where is your evidence that he didn't have a ponytail?
84. #81 Hey Einstein, my original response to #46 was about his
Rueben ,   Israel   (06.17.09)
statement that gays are born gays.It's obvious you're to damn stupid or hell bent on taking a pound of flesh to anyone who doesn't agree with you. No way was I ever talking about cloning, nor had I even implied it, or thought about it. Hmmm, wonder if your view of yourself being an intelligent being got in the way of what was being said. And as far as over populating the earth-----------Well there again you have exposed the smallness of your comprehension faculties. If G-d said to replenish the earth, provision was already in place for ALL people to have a place to live. But then, you really don't know G-d or his Word----------at least you have zero demonstration of any comprehension of it.
85. #80 And yet Adams free will allowed him to hand all mankind
over to whom?Flawed ,   argument there.   (06.17.09)
86. #80 Since you don't belive in G-d, you have no right to try
quote him. ,   Rueben, Israel   (06.17.09)

ghostq   (06.17.09)
someone smart.
88. 86 Reuben: Amen, bro Irmo!
Rivkah   (06.17.09)
89. 86 , is that your answer ? very smart !!!
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.17.09)
Yes a non believer can ask you something , but as you can't answer seriously , you say no right . It only shows that you are WRONG , 100 % wrong .

A pretty girl, however it is not wise to be advocating dangerous sex practices.
