I said this as a rebuttal to Ron's claim that homosexuality was unnatural because animals don't do it. While his statement is wrong, I ignored that and was only meaning to point out that we don't behave the same way animals do. Maybe I didn't word it well. Sure. it's natural for animals to kill and we take great pride in rising about that instinct as human beings. Someone else already said it in an earlier post. You can't have it both ways. You can't take pride in the fact that you rise above animal instinct as a human and distinguish yourself and your morality through religion and the avoidance of temptation (instinct), and then say that something is unnatural because animals don't do it. Even if you're wrong about what animals can and will do. Edited to add. This is the question I should have asked: Ron, If gay couples shouldn't raise kids because same-sex animal couples don't raise kids (I don't agree with that, but never mind), Is it alright with you for different-sex parents to kill their children if they feel the need because animals do?

I'd rather live with risk than give away my freedoms or anyone else's. Being willing to give up your life for your country isn't always about joining the military. Sometimes it's also about being a civilian and being willing to give up your life to defend the principles of your society. Owned by Remi #?

So it should also be okay for humans to kill their children if they feel the need? It happens with animals in nature. It must be natural. Owned by Remi #?

Then they will want to adopt. I think its wrong, and I don't think they should be allowed to adopt kids. And bring those kids up thinking that its normal. I have no problem with what THEY want to do...however it will influence people who don't have the right to choose. I don't have aproblem with a same sex couple having the same rights in regaurds to each other...But I don't think they should be allowed to adopt... In nature those types of relationships in animals would not happen....It is not natural for two of the same sex to raise a child. It should not be allowed in humans. Totally mute point. Gay's don't have to adopt. Gays have kids now without legal recognition. Gays have kids now without adopting them. Legal civil unions would do nothing to change that. Owned by Remi #?

Yes. It's a seperate issue. But not because not enough want it. It's a seperate issue regardless of how many people want it. I meant that we aren't debating whether a man can marry a cat, we're debating same-sex marriage. If enough people wanted to marry their cats we'd be debating that instead. That's not the same. It's a seperate issue. I'd like to hear someone explain in clear terms why letting a man marry a woman doesn't allow a man to marry his daughter, but somehow letting a man marry a man would then mean that a man can marry his son? Owned by Remi #?

Well put. This is what I was getting at above, I just didn't have the ability to put it into words it as well as you have. Owned by Remi #?

Again.. by this logic, if it's legal for a man and woman to have a union then it's legal for a brother to marry a sister or a father to marry a daughter. We all know that's bullshit. If letting a man and woman marry means anything goes between men and woman, why isn't it implicitly legal for a man to marry his daughter? This logic JUST DOESN"T WORK!! Owned by Remi #?

Quade he has a vaild point...At what level do we no longer allow people to get married? Can a father marry his daughter or son? Can a brother marry a sister? I mean if you REALLY want freedom to choose...Then you would have to support these situations also. So do you support the right of a father to marry his son? Serious question and I'd like a serious response. Hi Ron

There are some truly GREAT people there.

Wonderful people. Just wonderful. The pics say it all. I'm on my belly in white. I didn't think to ask the others if they minded having pics posted, but I can't resist. Owned by Remi #?

I forgot to post last weekend: 2:11:at least 3 2 really bad landings: 1 botched PLF after a flat turn on my final to avoid another canopy crosswinding a landing into the same spot I had chosen. 1 badly timed flare on a downwind landing (low winds and the pattern had been decided on the plane) that left me trying to get my wind back long enough for people to start running for me. I grounded myself after that one. Saturday, New canopy, 1st Scott Miller canopy control course. Sunday, my 1st NSL 4-way meet. I had SO much fun doing 4 way that I think I'll concentrate on that skill for a long time. The pic attached is our 4th exit, 1 second after leaving the door and 2 seconds after leaving the door my fault. This weekend: 3:3:0 3 perfect landings and 3 fun RW jumps. Owned by Remi #?

This is off-topic, but since all the geeks are here: Someone just tried to hack my Yahoo account. I got an alert from them about multiple access attempts too close together. Does anyone know who to contact at Yahoo to get the offender's IP address? I tried responding to the alert but I couldn't. Owned by Remi #?

Great for Ethernet loopback. Won't help in this case 'cause he needed to loop a T1. Owned by Remi #?

Nah. If you want to connect the Ethernet ports of 2 devices then you need Ethernet crossover (1/3 2/6). If you want to loop an Ethernet port you need to short 1/3 and 2/6. If you want to loop or crossover between DSU ports for a T1 you need to short or cross 1/4 2/5. It's not a Cisco thing at all. It's the cabling standards for Ethernet and T1. I don't get the idea behind ethernet loopback for a T1. You can't connect one to the other, and looping just isolates the connection. Owned by Remi #?

QuoteI have one person telling me to switch 1 witn 4 and 2 with 5 Quote That's a T1 crossover. What are you trying to loop? The answer's I've seen assume you're looping an Ethernet cable. Owned by Remi #?

anybody else find that funny? I changed the name MENSA to Mensa. It varies with the member. Some members like the name in all caps, some in all lower case. I changed it to first-letter cap because I figured people would understand, but didn't want to confuse you. I'll try to stay with one syllables. That's even sillier than the "spelling" error. Better stop now before they take your pointy hat away. Owned by Remi #?

Hehe That is what I was planning on doing. Putting an ACL on the router and then hope they call when they don't have Internet Access anymore. I think that blocking the MAC address at the WAP would work better. You can't use ACLs on the router to block layer 2, only layer 3 (I'm pretty sure o'that) Unless you meant to block the layer 3 address and have both parties involved calling ya. Owned by Remi #?
