					<description><![CDATA[@peter
I was going off of Bachmann&#039;s statement at the beginning of the post. Did you even read this post? She clearly said &quot;required.&quot;

@T. Bruce McNeely
That looks like a great course. While I am sure it is not the Homosexuality 101 bachmann fears, I think it be close enough to answer my question.
Also, please stop giving me more reasons to like Canada over the US. Moving is a pain in the butt.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I live in the Minnesota 6th, and have repeatedly apologized for Michelle Bachmann. Many of us do our best, but have been unable to convince others that being seriously defective is a disqualification for elected office.  Besides, it&#039;s not our fault - Janice in Toronto confessed that it&#039;s a Canadian plot up at #4 above.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow, how did I miss Derrel&#039;s China comment. I blame insomnia.

Anyway, there are a lot of views people have that are pretty bad. Suicide bombings, homophobia, racism, etc. &quot;Schools should not be allowed to even mention this lifestyle choice&quot; has to be one of the worst because it falls into the category of &quot;Schools should not be allowed to talk about [this thing which actually exists in the real world].&quot;

I bet dollars to donuts that Darrel would have no problems with schools &quot;mention[ing] this lifestyle choice&quot; if the mention involved Hell and burning and damnation and the way it is destroying marriage and this great christian country.

@T. Bruce McNeely:
But does Canada actually actively teach their children to go out and be gay, as the US is clearly going to be required to do?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Why do you Minnesotans keep voting for that mad cow?&quot;

It&#039;s the Sixth District.  It&#039;s a gerrymandered exurban/rural monstrosity filled with half-literate Republican white megachurchers whose parents moved there decades earlier when the Twin Cities started getting more black and brown faces.  Lots and lots of Ayn Rand worshipers who think they&#039;re Christians but instead follow the perverted social Darwinism of the (ironically enough) atheist Rand.

I know a guy who refs soccer games; 75% of the games are in the Sixth, and it&#039;s only there that he finds it necessary to tell loudmouthed parents and other alleged adults attending the games -- many if not most have the obligatory fishes on their vehicles -- not to cuss in front of children and hurl abuse at them.  Inner-city parents, by contrast, are much better behaved.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[. At least it is not in my 1945 dictionary


your logic is impeccable. A word you created is valid, because....you created it.
A word in present day dictionaries is invalid because it does not show up in a 1945 dictionary. I guess therefore neither the space shuttle nor the internet exists among a few thousand other things.

A measure of your intellectual prowess, for sure.

&quot;Global warming is a hoax, extortion and is a crime&quot;

I guess the evidence of vanishing ice cover in the north west passage, vanishing permafrost in Canada&#039;s north, rising sea levels, receding glaciers, falling pH in the oceans, rising CO2 is all a hoax. And therefore logically you believe in a sky fairy because: the absence of evidence.

I am astonished your brain can control the rest of your bodily functions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dumbass Darrel&#039;s deity doesn&#039;t exist.

Wow, that almost alliterated.

Anyway, it&#039;s funny how you troglodyte morons like to ignore actual scientific evidence that goes against your claims, and it&#039;s funny how you like to use a 2000-year-old book written by addled, scientifically-illiterate shepherds with hallucinations to try to support your stupidity.  Here&#039;s a hint, moron: the buy-bull and other religious texts aren&#039;t peer-reviewed nor do they check out in experimentation.  Why, do you suppose, creobot institutions such as the Disco &#039;Tute are widely derided and not used as scientific expertise?  Because they&#039;re not scientific, they&#039;re bullshit.

(And this &#039;gawdophobe&#039; business?  You&#039;re conjecturing that there&#039;s actually a deity for us to fear.  We can&#039;t fear something that doesn&#039;t exist.  Though if your deity did exist, he&#039;d be a petulant little shit.)

Oh, did you know AIDS is more prevalent among heterosexuals?

I suspect you&#039;re so homophobic because you think they&#039;re going to come and convert you.  Maybe I should find out who you are and send a shipment of twinks to your door and you can try to resist them, but you&#039;ll probably end up thinking &#039;Mmm, what lithe little bodies they have!&#039; or something, if I know how homophobes usually turn out to behave in secret.

Go fuck a sheep, since apparently you idiots think that&#039;s more okay than fucking a consenting human no matter what their sex is.  Though remember, &#039;baa&#039; doesn&#039;t necessarily mean &#039;yes&#039;.  I hear banjos coming from your direction and I don&#039;t know why some people around you aren&#039;t paddling.]]></description>

You might find it interesting to see how many countries who surpass the US in education also allow same-sex marriage.

Like your neighbour to the north, for instance. ]]></description>
