I'm sorry for all the insults, but for my money, nothing is more insulting than being told that when I think I'm making a free choice, I'm really just being an unwitting patsy of a shadowy cabal.

Furthermore, the parents have a deep moral obligation to set aside their own desires and do what it…

Ladies and gentlemen, Arsenio Billingham.

gee-man, fair enough and a virtual beer for you, on me. Even agreeing to disagree is a triumph of civility in these forums. :) (And I'm a worst offender, I know.)

Here come the gay slurs. Sorry, Anomolos is Spanish, I must have walked into the wrong circle jerk.
