You are attempting to minimize the danger of homosexual behavior by pretending there is no relationship between HIV and AIDS--which in one breath you admit, and in the other you deny.Let me try this...

Better explained because...it's more convenient for anti-capitalists? That's really the only way in which anthropogenic global warming fits better. You also can't explain warming on Mars and...

You may want to look up the Holocene Maximum. It is well known that there was a warm period in the northern hemisphere until ~ 5000 years, and this is also mentioned in the IPCC report. It is...

Ooooh sorry, wrong answer. While the blood transfusion part does describe you, the scenario clearly says that although you have HIV, you do not have AIDS. HIV causes AIDS, but not always. At the...

HIV and AIDS are used synonymously in most reports including those from the CDC. The reason is that HIV causes AIDS. Whether you say "72% of AIDS cases came from homosexual male behavior" or "72% of...

noreply@blogger.com (Bob Ellis) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:28:00 -0500

Seems to me that a conscientious representative would vote "Present" all the time when voting negative so they could always record why they voted no.Otherwise it looks like quibbling.

As I said earlier, a 'Present' vote is a no vote, with an explanation as to why you object to that vote. It is NOT an indecisive vote.

Speechless enough, I hope, to perhaps read why God destroyed the planet in Genesis 6, what he said in Genesis 9:6 about the sacred nature of human life, and take the time to think about what it means.

It's like the lame claim that she "cut funding for teen moms" when what she actually did was reduce a huge increase to a merely large one.Which goes to show how desperate they are.
