Folks who are otherwise civil, but fall briefly over the line, can be jerked back into appropriate behavior -- often they even apologize. But shame works a lot more effectively and broadly if the person who is rebuked is acting in his own name."One strategy used by some groups successfully is 'shaming.'
"Some housing co-ops post the name of any member that did not attend a workday or is behind in voluntary payments on a prominent board for posting announcements. Helps keep these infractions down.
"Shaming has to fit the problem and population involved and I can't think of a specific way you could do this but thought I would mention the idea."
In the traditional sense, marriage is a union between a man and a woman. So gay marriage would be anything, but, marriage in the traditional sense. This issue in today’s political stage may make it should traditional in that it’s a union between two people. However, practice has shown to be different, as most homosexual men involved in a so called monogamous relationship often times are having sex with several partners at one time, and in most cases this is done with the consent of the partner, hence the spread of AIDS in the 80s, starting in San Francisco. This is well documented and can be found with research.

Simple, you will be dishonorably discharged. The armed forces with not tolerate what you may consider OK.

The interests of Israel are not always beneficial to America as seen in Netanyahu's persistence in allowing the construction of illegal settlements. Lieberman is fanatical when it comes to Israel. Fanaticism is dangerous, whether it moves Gaddafi in Libya or Lieberman in America. Neither is to be trusted.

All citizens are equal in the eyes of the law (Well, of course if you're wealthy, that doesn't apply to you, you get away with murder!). Your faith, your beliefs, are not shared by all Americans, and you shouldn't expect them to be.If you don't believe in gay marriage, I will forever defend your right not to marry one. But you do not have a right that can be defended when you are wrong.

My Uncle served in WWII and passed away four years ago. His life partner, is now a surviving widower who is a retired US Army Lt. Col. and fought in two wars. Both of these amazing men served their country well and were together for 27 years. Do you honestly believe they are going to hell because they loved each other? My Uncle's partner was unble to obtain a copy of my Uncle's death certificate so that I could order my Uncle's headstone from the Veteran's Administration. Why? Because my Uncle's partner "was not a direct family member!" Are you kidding me? I praise Pres. Obama for having the courage to go forward with this issue.
Marriage is about CHILDREN Who is resposible for them who pays for them who takes care of them. Dose not every child desreve a father and Mother. Or is it about getting a talking pet. No one is ever very upset about a Divorce if there are no children. This is why the wife takes her husbands last name. It tells the world who is resonable for her children.
February 23 2011 at 4:15 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyPersonally, I do not have a problem with gays and lesbians being allowed to have legal CIVIL UNIONS. But calling these unions MARRIAGES, is something that offends me, deeply. Marriage is defined by the Bible, and probably every other religious doctrine that exists, as a holy union between a man and a woman. I am not responsible if some else violates God's commandments, but I do believe I have an obligation to uphold what marriage was intended to be, A HOLY UNION ORDAINED BY GOD. Unfortunately, we live in a place in time, where the powers that be are trying to remove God from all public view. A time will come when the liberals will wish that they had left well enough alone.

February 23 2011 at 3:14 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI couldn't post a comment after reading the story about Newt Gingrich's visit to the University of Pennsylvania. Was the Comments Section disabled so that nobody could comment on his infidelity? Newt was the "leader of the pack" in the charge to IMPEACH President Clinton! Does this maen that it is OK for Newt to cheat on his wife, but it was wrong for President Clinton? I guess it is a priviledge that comes with the Republican Speaker of the House title!!!
