I think the fundamental argument is mostly based on religion and cultural "norms" across the board. As far as I know (granted, I'm and admitted simpleton idiot), this is the first time in recorded history that being gay is so widely and openly accepted. Not just from the "Christian" point of view, but it seems MOST societies in history have put a taboo on same sex relations. For better or worse, I guess one could say. These types of "norms" in society don't change easily without a lot of resistance from the traditional points of view, I suppose... It threatens long held belief systems. Rightly so as it is opposite of the past way(s) of thinking. This does not necessarily prove to be "logical", per say, but it has been the "norm" for many thousands of years. At least from a societal acceptance point of view.(IMHO) actually, homosexuality has often existed in history sans opprobrium - in much of ancient greece, for example, it was an accepted practice, no doubt in part given the tremendous population pressures there (many people, not much food)

wise sir do not grieve it is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning for every one of us living in this world means waiting for our end let he who can achieve glory before death when a warrior is gone that will be his best and only bulwark

the ancient roman argument against gays in general was that they sapped the military spirit necessary for empire and threatened the ability of the state to increase its population (and thus the military strength required to maintain said empire) they also thought is was very greek, and thus doubly ghey

plenty of homophobia in cultures outside the kkkristian one

i doubt that religion was the key motivator - more like simple, murderous anger - "you killed somebody we love, so now we want to kill somebody"

a true objective hazard for climbing in that there part of the world, no? thankfully there are fewer zealots such as these in the andes and in the alaska range, for them that want their big, big mountains, minus the crazy.

last one almost involved kenny goign to jail, so who could turn down another?

standing offer to one and all to replace/tidy-up stone soup bolts - would only make the route name more proper - most of the bolts are plenty fine, but several weren't drilled deep enough so have too much thread exposed - the only squishy-fucked one is the one bryan describes at the bottom of the rabbit-hole

my advice to all young sportsters: "remember kid, if ya can't beat'em, at least hurt'em...and, if ya can beat'em, what the hell, why not hurt'em anyway?" this may explain why i rarely played a full basketball game before fouling out

do you need to have seen a massive car-accident to know that you probably ought not try to drive through it while the cops n' medics n' firefighters are combing through the wreckage n' trying to pull folks out?

shoulda brought my kids over that day - had'em out at beacon in the day use area in that huge field - never seen 2 kids n' a dog so retard-excited to be racing through head-high daisies - like a scene out of da wizard of oz. my children would have descended on your raspberry's like egyptian locusts though

no way to train round here for the grim reality of kalifornia-heat!
