Writing in bold doesn&#039;t make you right.

And your logic could go the other way.

It could be that 20 years from now the APA recognizes many homosexuals as suffering from a disorder and 40 years from now people will be wondering &quot;what were we thinking when we claimed it was normal?&quot;</description>

&quot;Just about everyone agrees smoking isn’t good for you.

Not everyone feels the same about gay marriage.&quot;

February 2nd, 2009 at 11:36 pm 

&lt;strong&gt;50 years ago, it was illegal for black &amp; white people to marry.  

30 years ago, smoking was allowed everyhere.

As time progresses, perspectives change.  In 10 years, just about everyone will ask &quot;How could anyone support excluding gay people from marriage?  I&#039;m voting for American values and to give equal rights to all.&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>The NFL/NBC, whoever.... They didn&#039;t allow the gay marriage bit, and they also didn&#039;t allow the pro-life bit. That&#039;s about as &quot;fair&quot; as they can be, methinks. 

The super bowl commercials are meant to be mindless fun (see the puching a koala one...). Let&#039;s just leave politics out of this one, I say. Anti-smoking ads are more public health issues than political one. 

Just my take...</description>

One year olds don’t ask questions about the content of Super Bowl advertising. If you think you’re having sensitive discussions with infants about controversial issues, then you are hallucinating, and should not be caring for children to begin with.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Wingnuts&#039; children must not be allowed to find out that gay people exist.  It is incumbent on all of us to keep this a massive secret worldwide so they can keep their children ignorant of this fact...

&lt;em&gt;Dynamo Says: 

And I’m sure Mr. toaster face sat down with his 1 year old and explained how perfectly natural 2 men getting married and raising a kid is. And then went on and explained how this behavior is justified by comparing dysfunctional straight couples.&lt;/em&gt;

One year olds don&#039;t ask questions about the content of Super Bowl advertising.  If you think you&#039;re having sensitive discussions with infants about controversial issues, then you are hallucinating, and should not be caring for children to begin with.

&lt;em&gt;Oski2005 Says: 

...probably the same reason they didn’t run the anti abortion ad, it’s a hot button issue while anti-steroid and anti-smoking aren’t quite the lightning rod issues that abortion and gay marriage are.&lt;/em&gt;

True.  Wouldn&#039;t be as big a deal if they had just said that.  They&#039;d still catch a little heat, but not as much.  However, they said they were refusing all advocacy ads, and then did not; they lied instead.  So now we don&#039;t know if they were trying to avoid controversy or were making editorial decisions because their program director thinks we&#039;re in the End Times.

&lt;em&gt;Shayne Says: 

Sure, but because impotent men like you think the most important issue on the planet is erectile dysfunction every little girl has to hear about your pathetic sexual problems about 10 times a day.&lt;/em&gt;

These conversations are really easy.

KID: &quot;Dad, what&#039;s that blue pill for?&quot;
DAD: &quot;It gives people boners.&quot;
KID: &quot;Hahahahaaa!  Boners!&quot;

Ditto for teh gays.

KID: &quot;Dad, those men said they&#039;re married, is that true?&quot;
DAD: &quot;Yep, those guys like to marry guys instead of girls.&quot;
KID: &quot;Hahahahaaa!  That&#039;s weird!&quot;

It&#039;s really just that easy.</description>

		<description>Counteracting prejudice and ignorance is hardly advocay. It&#039;s education. Refusing those ads is, essentially, anti-education, Hmmm... that&#039;s consistent.</description>
