You do know that it was "The founders of democracy and modern medicine" who were the first openly gay society. Right? That your healthcare and government systems were founded by butt fockers. Ain't that a hoot.
BUT BLUE SAFFRON IS CNN HERO !!!
BLUE SAFFRON IS MY HERO !!!!
FAREED IS HERO OF A RAYPIST NATION.... INDIA.
Fareed Zakaria, read my lips. Your biased bigotted reporting has been met with disdain. Your logic is flawed. Your facts are wrong. Your journalism is unethical. You present yourself as a CIA agent. You are a plagiarist. YES, FAREEED, YOU ARE A PLAGIARIST. Is that how you passed your college courses? Your diplomas should be taken back!!!
See my comment below. Fareed should be fired by CNN. He is taking CNN down with him in everything including ratings.
Americans aren't the first to allow less than 1% of their men to butt wrangle each other openly. Ancient Greeks were openly gay.
America is just the first to allow said sodomites to legally wed in church. Just as Jesus said would be. And they laughed at him. Some threw rocks.
"America is just the first to allow said sodomites to legally wed in church."
Well, America wasn't the first to allow SS marriage in church; in any case, that wasn't Americans; that was the churches.
If one is married in a church only, their marriage still isn't legal. A liscense from the state is still needed to make it valid.
And SS marriage is not legal in all states, anyhow. So there's that.
Yea. We knew that.
How bout them Pats!
There that's better.
We said "Go ahead and marry each other" and less than 1% of all gay men said OK.
Pats schmats I say.
Thuper bowl Thunday. Oh joy. Jesus thpoke with a lithpse and they made fun of him.
Jesus is always the topic for conversation among true Christians.
Funny that the Center For Disease Control (CDC) keeps track of gay men.
Jesus loves us all. Even gay people. There are many Freedom Fighters of gay folks in heaven. Stands to reason.
12.5% of the CDC are secretly gay. Ain't that a hoot. (Shrug)
Jesus loves gay people but his dad has laws.
BLUE SAFFRON CAME, HE SAW, HE CONQUERED.
THANK YOU, BLUE SAFFRON!!!!
FREEDOM IS US !!!
Wow!!! So many freedom fighting outfits in India. WOW!!!
Hinddooos must be pulling their usual "suppress the minorities routine" on them. After all the protesting, they took matters in their own hands. So there we have it.

Fareed Zakaria, read my lips. Your biased bigotted reporting has been met with disdain. Your logic is flawed. Your facts are wrong. Your journalism is unethical. You present yourself as a CIA agent. You are a plagiarist. YES, FAREEED, YOU ARE A PLAGIARIST. Is that how you passed your college courses? Your diplomas should be taken back!!!!
I would investigate how he passed his courses in college. He probably was a plagiarist in school.

After it was all over and Noah lowered the ramp of the ark for all the
animals to leave, he told the animals "To go forth and multiply."All the animals left except two snakes who lay quietly in the corner of the
ark."Why can't you go forth and multiply?" demanded Noah."We can't," answered the snakes. "We're adders."
At least the snake Eve used didn't need batteries.
Fareed isn't a spreader of AIDS you know.
IF THESE WERE THE TIMES OF NOAH :
And the Lord spoke to Noah and said: "In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind ofliving thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build Me an Ark."
And in a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for an Ark. "OK," said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints. "Six months, and it starts to rain," thundered the Lord. "You'd better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time." And six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall.
The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark. "Noah," shouted the Lord, "where is my Ark?" A lightning bolt crashed into the ground next to Noah.
"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best. But there were big problems. First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans. Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system. My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.
Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince U.S. Fish and Wildlife that I needed the wood to save the owls. But they wouldn't let me catch any owls. So no owls.
Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or a hammer. Now we have 16 carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls.
Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind. Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being.
Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the Proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.
Right now I'm still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I'm supposed to hire, the IRS has seized all my assets claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax. I really don't think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years," Noah wailed.
The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. "You mean you're not going to destroy the earth?" Noah asked, hopefully.
"No," said the Lord sadly, "Government already has."
...and The Word actually states that God "felt regret" after drowning virtually ever single man, woman and child on earth.
Anger is expressed hurt. God has feelings too. And violent people hurt God's feelings.
God has big feelings for us don't you know?
Shrug. God, it can be argued, is ostensibly the biggest mass-murderer of all time. And relied on men's LUST for his close relatives to repopulate the world.
"Just as in the days of Noah" when but a few people survived God's great wrath is what Jesus said concerning the times we are now living in.
There is NOTHING funny about it, Bob.
The earth "became filled with violence" during the days of Noah. God abhors violence, it says.
"Men inflamed with VIOLENT lust for one another", it says. Things that do not please our God.
After the Ark had landed on Mt Ararat, the survivors
went forth. After a while, one of the wives noticed her father-in-law
sitting on the ground and chewing animal hides. Every now and then,
the father-in-law would chew a particularly hirsute hide and make a

The wife asked her husband what his father was doing, to which the
son replied, "What can I say, there is Noah counting fur tastes".
That was punny.
One day, God speaks to Noah. "Noah", he says, "I want you to build
another Ark."
"What, like the last one?" asks Noah.
"Yes," replies God, "Except this time, I want it to have 14 decks."
"And shall I lead all the animals into it, two by two, like last
time?' asks Noah.
"No, this time I only want you to lead fish into it".
Noah is a little puzzled. "Just fish?" he asks.
"Yes," says God. "In fact, just carp."
"Just carp? Why carp?" Noah quizzes.
"Well," says God, "I've always wanted a multi-storey carp Ark!"
This is a groaner, Rawr.
We are all going to die by the sword of Jesus Christ don't you know.
Are we going to die or not? Because your messages on this subject is mixed, at best.
You argued with me yesterday when I said "life has a 100% fatality rate."

And the Guy said, "Can I ask a question?"
"Go right ahead", God said.

Then he asked, "God, what is a million dollars worth to you?"
God said, "A million dollars to me is a penny."
So the man said, "God can I have a penny?"
And God cheerfully said,

"Sure!...... .just wait a second."
God "felt regret" after killing virtually everyone with a flood and gave mankind the Rainbow. A solemn promise to never do it again. His son did not.
"Do NOT think I come to bring peace into the world" said God's son Jesus Christ. "I come with a sword" he said.
Fear Jesus Christ, not the government, or die. So says The Word.
And you think Jesus is your buddy. He is not. He is God's assigned executioner of warring men and loose women.
The rainbow was an affirmation from god that he would never again destroy the world by flood.

Genesis 9: 12-13
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: ...
Three churches – Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian – worked together to sponsor a community- wide revival. After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another.
The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained 4 new families."
The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained 6 new families."
The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our 10 biggest troublemakers!"
Best one yet.
