Hey, Rich!

quoting you:  "I realize that this is something "big" for you guys, the sexual life of other people, but it isn't for me.   

Are you a voyeur Jim?  Contradicts previous sentence.

Do you like to look in other people's windows at night?   Contradicts first sentence again..  

Just curious. ....aaaaaannnnnnd contradicts it a third time....


Don't ever change, Richard.  You are the 'House Band' here, providing entertainment to the punters 24/7/365.   Keep thinking up spiffy nicknames for all us Libtards.  Good for a larf!!

Not your hypocrisy the thread is  concerned about, Ricky. It's  Falwell's...

His church, his university call very specifically 'no sex outside of marriage.'  

And Falwell is involved in threesomes with his wife and a poolboy.    

That is hypocrisy...

You are right.  Falwell and other consenting adults should be able to have sex however they wish, without public scrutiny.  

But we are not shaming him for the sexual acts but for his telling others under his control/influence/power that they are not allowed the same privilege.

I don't see why you are not getting this simple distinction.

Jim, Thanks for the research.   The entire article puts my cherry-picked paragraph into a far more general context and very nicely states my argument that Democratic Socialism as practised in W. and N. Europe, Aus and NZ, Canada and a few other places is an admirable form of government.

Canada --- NATO Contribution..

"Canada is responsible for 5.9% of the overall contribution to NATO Common-Funded Budgets and Programmes. Assuming that the US continued to maintain its 21.7% of the overall contribution to these projects, an equal distribution by the remaining 27 members states would be 2.9%. With Canada contributing 5.9%, evidently there are other countries in the Alliance that are contributing less than equal amounts to NATO. Perhaps in answer to Paris’ question, Canada is, after all, “pulling at least its own weight” in the Alliance in comparison to these other countries, providing the 6th highest overall contribution to these projects."

Proportionally, Canada is pulling over double its own weight.....   

The 5.9% figure, by the way includes the annual contribution as a percentage of GDP plus all the NATO missions that Canada sends ships, planes and troops to.
