Well, I can't say I ever expected to see a moral majority homophobe sporting a pavement avatar on an internet message board. It takes all kinds, I guess.
I really hate you people. You said something incredibly stupid, comparing the insurgency today to what was happening in the past, WHICH IS PLAINLY WRONG, then when called otu on it, you resort to the "YOUVE BEEN READING MATERIALS WITH AN AGENDA FOR LAST FEW MONTHS LOLOLOL".
No, idiots, they are called FUCKING FACTS.
You cannot say with a straight face that "and I'm not so sure temporary insurgencies and setbacks are worse than what was there when the US had no presence there except some bases in Saudi Arabia..." when it's SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
Were 1000's of US soliders dying at this time? After all, you say you're not so sure if it was worse back before our invasion.
Gay people don't chose to be born homosexual. You can argue all day that they still choose to particiapate in "deviant behavior," but the fact remains that their actions don't harm anyone. In fact, not living the way they were born to would result in significant harm to their well-being. But I doubt that matters to someone like you anyway. Just quit trying to logically justify your homophobia, because you can't.
