Couldn't stay away, eh, Ryan? Well, at least you're only 2 paragraphs. Keep up the effort!
According to authors Darren W. Dahl (University of British Columbia, Vancouver), Jaideep Sengupta (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), and Kathleen D. Vohs (University of Minnesota), research demonstrates that women exhibit negative reactions to explicit sexual content in advertising.

Apparently, Capuchin monkeys don't have the same compunctions as Capuchin monks, whose order was established in 1520 to return to the old monastic way of life.
One wonders if the Capuchin pigeon is affected in the same manner as the monkey who shares its name.
Kaine: Bash away? you don't know the meaning of the word "bash", if you think that any of the people advocating gay marriage have been "bashing" anybody here.
You know what "bashing" is? Google Matthew Shepard - just one example of how intolerant society is.

Talk about sacred all you want - what matters is legal issues and human rights. And that is the responsibility of the state.
They freed the slaves around the 1860's, but it took a hundred years before they could sit in the front of the bus. It was still controversial to show an inter-racial couple on TV kissing in the 1970's.
I love the comment "I have nothing against it as long as you don't try to push it off on me." That's the same comment as "Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends are _______ (insert stereotype here)".
