Yes! There are medical reasons to have friends and family members with the patients unless the patient is in ICU. There are hospitals they provide sleeping facilities(couches) for friends/members of the patients to stay with them overnight, like hotelrooms for approx. $20.00 = my own experience (prices may vary from hospitals and clinics)
I don't understand Arnie - you're saying that Elton john is a paedophile? Could you clarify please because so far you're not making a lot of sense.
I'm not saying this - so don't try to make something out of this! - Search your heart At least my statements make sense - though not a lot of for you -
But you are arguing that anyone should be able to visit at any time (That is how the law would have to read if partners would be able to visit)...Sorry, but you don't want neighbours, friends, etc visiting at all hours. That just doesn't help the patient. Thats besides the point. The current civil union legislation takes care of that Incidentally, that is only one part of the legislation. Now answer SE's question as its much more on topic
Read the Bible or in other words the 'Book of Life' page by page, letter by letter, then you'll perhaps understand. For me and my family, I'm not going to have the doors opened for the anti-christ (I'm not saying that I never sin). For you - take it or leave it - its a choice you have to make - I rest my case here and give it up to the Lord.
Well, the bible is 2,000 years old.... Things change. We don't see that many stonings these days... Either way I still fail to see your point about elton john being a danger to kids.
Most christians don't follow half the things in the Bible as it is (especially those dealing with Food, etc) so you want to use one thing to further your case? I love that about people like you. Pick and choose the parts from the Bible you want to use while ignoring all the others. You may want to enter this contest www.mrhetero.com Seems right up your alley
Hard to resist not to answer As a famous and honored person before, - he may be considered as an idol and now giving an example like he has and is? and you tend to say thats alright for children? - the scripture says, you shall not worship any idols but which parents follow this commandment and teach their children accordingly? You were raised in a region were the rules and laws were mainly based on scriptures, this why you're able to have the freedom you enjoy so much, though some use it to spray venomous spirits around, looking from this angle, yes, that has changed indeed.
So worshiping an idol is wrong no matter what...How does his being Gay change that? I would think worshiping any celebrity was wrong Or would you rather have your kids worship Michael Jackon or OJ?
Man, Elton if you are on this forum, pop in and say hi Arnie, honestly I think you sound misguided and *scared* of homosexuality. I think you should see a therapist - honestly, this kind of irrational hatred is just weird... Who knows - you could be in the closet without even knowing it.
Agree, but those in question haven't had the chance to make examples for gay/lesbian marriages before.
I don't hate anyone then the spirit behind wrongdoings and I'm not scared either. I would treat homosexuallity/lesbian as a kind of illness. When someone gives up on this and let it go or even support it by law, whether it is govt or famous public figures, then I add on the label "dangerous lack of resposibility" It just takes common sense to find out.
You keep saying "common sense"...Since when is hating someone for who they are and labeling them with outdated stereotypes "Common Sense"??
I don't hate anyone then the spirit behind wrongdoings - thats what I posted just before Common sense again
This is just going in circles - I should have learnt by now that no one changes through a conversation over the net...
As for family values and outdated stereotypes, there have been homosexuals, pretty much since the existance of man and many other species have 'homosexuality' in them. Its nothing new at all.
I have my suspicions you may be but by starting this thread and voicing as much anger as you are, you are suppresing it. Just a theory though
