Yes, it was the case you were stating. No, slavery is not the same as being gay or w/e more LGBT stands for, who claimed it to be?

Many people. And that was my main point. Is not the same. 

Now that being said, no person should be mistreated. Like beat up, harass or what not. 

According to the word of God, Homosexuality is a sin, but so is lying, stealing, fornication, adultery, being proud and all that. 

The mistake some people make is that they mistreat a gay person just because he's gay. While the fact is that he is a sinner just like someone that lied. So they are all the same. 

And being all the same, god asked to loved them. Not by mistreat them but by being kind, forgiving them but also telling them the truth. Love tells the truth, but as well when you tell the truth it should be in a caring way, it should not be to condemning, but warning.

Problem being that seculars don't give a rat's ass about what some religion says. Somebody deviates from the norm = reason to mistreat. In some cases lying, stealing, fornication especially are a thing of pride for people. But the moment somebody is of different race or sexual orientation gives bigots reason to express their lost love when they were children.

And religion have their freedom of speech. 

So you will always end up with a dilemma. 

The only way secular will solve their issue is by banning all religion and creating one according to their standards. 

But by then freedom of speech will no longer exist nor freedom of religion. 

P.S. Lying and stealing is a thing of pride? What if someone claims they was born like that? They was born Adulteress, they was born liars, etc etc

No way being a fag is a lifestyle choice. A guy that is half up another's ass won't suddenly marry a vagina at forty. There are men however, that live in denial and try to have straight relationships and there are men that could become through some sort of sexual-abuse. It's purely contextual, but in general men are born gay.

The is a huge difference between a fag and a dyke. If a man is gay, you can bet that he only wants the 'D'. Women are more fluid with their sexuality, many young women have bisexual or homosexual phases that they grow out of, many college-aged dykes end up marrying men, I'd say far fewer women are born lesbians compared to men, but women are more likely to experiment sexually. I also would say that women are far more likely to become homosexual through sexual-abuse than men.

The trannies however... there seems to be a 'fashion' in certain subcultures to considers oneself 'trans'. It's pretty insulting to the people that actually suffer through life with the disease of transexuality. They live hard lives with incredibly high-rates of suicide, depression and other mental illnesses. The whole 'normalisation' of 'trans' is trivialising their plights. People are quick these days to automatically go for the transition; hormone therapy and genitalia mutilation. Why not try to take it one step at a time? Treat the depression first, treat the mental illness first and if their lives don't adjust through that therapy, then transition. If it is true and gender is just a mental state of mind, then CBT should help them ease into their own sexuality rather than diving off the deep end into irreversible medications and surgery.  1/5 of transsexuals regret transitioning!  These people need help and they need to be understood! It's great we are moving towards a more accepting society but acceptance means nothing without understanding.

They didn't lie. They used 'alternative facts' 

Apparently, it's being investigated by the NOAA now.

Factcheck: Mail on Sunday’s ‘astonishing evidence’ about global temperature rise
The House Science Committee claims scientists faked climate change data—here's what you should know

Article names “whistleblower” who told Congress that NOAA manipulated data Allegations in a Daily Mail article seem more office politics than science.

Michael Mann, climate scientist in the crosshairs, says fake news must be fought

Sorry, climate change deniers, but the global warming 'pause' still never happened

Sensational claims of manipulated data in the Mail on Sunday are overblown

I think Turks have done that to this site a few time. Haha, there is a reason why they're nicknamed 'Turkroaches'.  It is such a graet nation to observe as it exists in a vacuum alone, unique culturally and politically.

Trump-  ''so obnoxious , karma might see him reincarnated as himself'' Frankie Boyle

I hate it when comedians foray into political journalism and abandon their main ability; 'comedy'. I'll be dead and buried when Frankie fucking Boyle actually has any moral integrity to chastise anyone on ethics and morality.

Frankie Boyle on Trump

How can he expect to escape ridicule? Being on reality TV is the closest he ever got to reality. His children look like a teen movie about Wall Street vampires directed by Uday Hussein. He has cultivated a square face that’s the shade of a banned food colouring and the muscle tone of a coma patient. He looks like aliens came to Earth and made a human costume after seeing one commercial for a car dealership. Really, he seems like the sort of person that a competent leftwinger with a humane alternative offer should be able to beat at the next election. Sad, really, that the only way Bernie Sanders could return in 2020 is as a glass sliding about a ouija board.

 

[Fulham Broadway 17,335]

Of course, presidents always enter office with something to prove, it’s just rarely their sanity.You look into Trump’s eyes and you see the fear and confusion of a man who has just been told he’s got stage-four cervical cancer.

Melania Trump has a look that I’ve never seen before, the eyes of someone waiting with increasing impatience for Stockholm syndrome to set in. The look of a woman frantically trying to unlearn English, appalled to find that this only makes her understand her husband more clearly.

What too many people don't take into account is that they're satirists. The things they're making jokes on don't have to tell the whole truth because their main point is to make a joke. Sometimes they bring up good points, sometimes they're just after laughs. They can take a stance on something, but all comedians take sides on issues.

They 've done it to the blog of a jockey friend of mine, Nico Tsergas, too.
Nico woke up one morning and he show a portrait of Kemal Ataturk's where his page should have been.
But he fixed it by the end of the day, or wordpress had it fixed.
Putting "Daily maily site hacked" in google will indeed show you two or three cases, including last week's.
I wonder why it cannot be fixed.

Well, maybe.
Despite the antics DM is regarded as a heroic newspaper in Greece because their reporters stayed in Athens in 1941 when the German army invaded and they wrote some fiery pieces about the resistance.
I wonder how their site makes money though. It's a huge site.

They make money with ads and subscriptions, all online outlets monetize their sites this way. Media nowadays is a different animal to what they were during those times so that heroic Daily Mail is long gone. I admit I read the Mail when I'm bored and just want some quick and pointless entertainment, however it would never be my go-to place for reliable and important news.
