Well it’s a step in that direction because creating a family … creates a family! I’m really confused with your assertion that creating a family unit leads to the breakup of the family unit. It doesn’t make any sense to me. [/quotes] That is like saying homicide is ok because two homicidal maniacs can adopt a child. Not everything that has one adult or two and a child is a legitimate family. And nature is one poor justifying excuse to claim homosexuals who do so are doing so in any natural way. The vast mountain of species is never strictly homosexual and almost never has homosexual family units. Not that what penguins might do is an excuse for anything man does anyway.
Which empires are you talking about? It is hard for me to see how the existence of homosexuality would be a contributing factor to the downfall of an empire.
Rome and Greece but knowing how loath you are to consent to any idea contrary to your own these will be far too complex to be resolvable.
I don’t care what Nietzsche said about it – you just described the state of human civilization since the dawn of mankind.
I care that is why I posted it and most of academic mankind cares which is why Nietzsche is so popular and in so many libraries. Not caring may say more about you than me or Nietzsche. And not even in a single way is what I said the same in modern times as in history.
If you think the twentieth century is the bloodiest 100 years in human history I really have to wonder what on earth you are talking about.
The 20th century is what I am talking about. If you deny what I said then I think no words ever spoken would make the slightest difference. Might as well say "How can I claim the sun is hot?".
The stuff about the US being the only “great light on a hill” is merely subjective opinion from a person who lives there. I’d much rather live in Canada than the US. So what?
Nope, the US was attacked by Mexico won the war gave much of it back and forgave it's entire debt, is the only major nation to self condemn slavery plus go on to lose 300,000 men who died to free others they had never met, was attacked by Britain and defeated them, defended the freedom of others in Europe then left without keeping anything, was attacked by Japan and Germany defeating both giving back their nations plus rebuilding and protecting them for years, defended South Korea when invaded by the communist North and won but still gave back the North (that was benevolent but a mistake), defended South Vietnam for the same thing until you secularists took over but we still won (yes one) and left without keeping anything, freed Kuwait from Iraq and refused to invade Iraq or keep anything, freed Iraq and Afghanistan from homicidal terrorist lunatics then rebuilt both and at most kept a base or two. We have also been the only force capable of keeping Nazism, Communism, and Islam from conquering the whole earth. Invented countless modern marvels, first to the moon, constantly lead the world in many of the main categories of generosity and are one of the first on the scene of even our enemies when disaster strikes, introduced by far the most successful model of wealth creation in history, Actually I have to go but this list would have just kept on and on and no nation in 5000 years can match half of it.
