    and stating a conclusion from a Gallup poll doesn't show compassion, or anything else, one way or another....
    I'm glad to hear that. But why would you bring that up in a thread about homosexuality?

    Teenagers don't get married, it is very unusual. Tell me, were teen suicides up or down in the 50's?

    To claim any correlation here is absolutely absurd.

    That's obtuse.

    It's not about the teens themselves getting married. As it says in the OP, it just makes them more hopeful about the future (or has the potential to). It's a general level of more acceptance & tolerance that matters.

    So now now you'll address the substance of my post when you think I'm wrong.

    Cowardly liar. Explain how I lied by thinking warranted means good. And recant your lie about my support of Trump. I did not lie about you, at worst, I misunderstood what you meant by warranted, but you never even explained it, you just had a melt down, called me a liar and cried that you were going to thread ban me and ignore me.

    You always do this when you get proven wrong. Why don't you explain it instead of jumping to conclusions and calling me a liar?

    It's really a modern conundrum that while only about 3.8 percent of the population are gay or lesbian, 50 percent or more of the population of liberals on discussion forums turn to be gay and lesbian. That's a very queer thing.

    That's what I thought Thingy.

    I gave you yet another chance and of course you don't answer. I know I am honest and you've shown again you're not.

    Is this also cause and effect as you claim above ?
    The thread has been won.

    You may all return to your homes.

    This is yet another example of how dishonest you are. The article actually says: may make

    The article makes no conclusions, just assumptions, whereas you dishonestly portray it as fact.

    You obviously think lying is warranted.

    The correlation seems well supported.
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    I didn't post a link....

    My point is that your 'cause and effect' implication is about the same as mine....a stretch, a far, far stretch.
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    No, but correlation is correlation.
