Todd, you have made this claim time and time again, and every time you do
it, you REFUSE to provide ANY stastical evidence, research or survey
results indicating that heterosexual couples are better at raising
children than homosexual couples.  Now this "marriage is for children"
crap.  This ancient claim is absolute bullshit and you know it (believe it
or not, just because YOU made this claim doesn't mean it's true; I know
the thought of you making an incorrect claim is nearly impossible fo you
to grasp, but any normal person has realized it for some time).  You
failed to explain why heterosexuals incapable of producing offpring are
denied marriage, and you know as well as I do that no state marriage laws
include the requireme nt of raising children.

You never surprise me Todd, always with your mindless assertions over and
over again and never with a shred of outside supporting evidence, and when
anyone else presents REAL evidence that contradicts your assertions, you
refuse to acknowledge it, or call it bunk without even looking at it.

I'm tired of putting up with your crap.  You aren't interested in anyone
but yourself, you've proven this again and again with your bogus
"arguments" and refusal to hold yourself up to the same standards that you
require of everyone else when it comes to making a case (see "Is NOW
primarily lesbian?").  You Todd, are a genuine bigot.  You aren't here to
present your case, you're here to tell everyone that you are absolutely
right, and if they disagree they are wrong.  You are no better than Daniel
J Karnes, Buddy Beaudoin and Fred Cherry, and as such, I will treat you no
better than I treated them.
