If its not the way we eat or the way we have fun or the way we don't go to church, its some other minor/inconsequential thing that annoys the hell out of you reds. Hypocrisy is great isn't it? Usually it's the liberals that are so worried about what other people are doing. Why do you types get riled up when someone wants to lead a prayer before a football game that 95% of the people would agree with? Just don't participate if you don't want to. Why does the #$% hit the fan when a Christian group wants to use a school room for a bible study, when it's perfectly fine for some chess club or , gasp, a muslim group to do so? Funny you should mention complaining about the way you eat...isn't it Amy J that wants the government to force people to eat healthy? Ever hear of any "reds" whining that you shouldn't be allowed to eat bacon, or smoke cigarettes, or do anything else like that? That's the kind of crap that "blues" come up with. You stress over someone who chooses to smoke, yet you go out and do "extreme" things that are much more likely to put you in the hospital or end your life early. Liberalism is all about telling other people what to do. Brian

Ted, Why would a six year ask? And if he/she does ask and your afraid to tell them its about sex I would prefer to do it on my own schedule, not on the schedule of Viagra advertiser. then all you is tell him/her its medicine for adults. Pish. If only I had your worries. Are you suggesting that I lie to my kid, because a TV station / advertiser put me in that position? I definitely don't live in the kind of world you evangelical types live in......however, that doesn't make my world less real. I am not an evangelical, but if they were complaining about the Viagra ads (stations and times they run at), I definitely agree with them. There is a world parents want to have for their kids, a safe world, and it could be the reason why people, when they marry an have kids turn Republican. That's why the gay marriage stuff was so important. The libertarian in me says: "Fine". But as a parent, I say "But keep it away from my kid". Joe
