Not dancing around the question at all. I don't actively want my son to be straight or gay. I want him to be who he is. If he's gay I will not be disappointed, and I'll be proud if he feels comfortable being himself. If you don't understand that then it's not worth explaining further.

I know that this wasn't directed at me, but I hope my son lives in a world where he can be himself, as long as he treats others as he would want to be treated. If he's gay, I'll be ok with it.

1. Thanks 2. I think you're way off here. I'll leave it at that.

Who cares what people think, God is the one judging him dude, and God knows he's getting paid to be there.

1. Are you saying practicing homosexuality should land you in a psych ward, or just saying it's stupid to practice homosexuality? How would you feel if whatever sexual urges you felt would land you in a psych ward if acted upon (assuming those urges were practiced between consenting adults.) 2. Define skyrocket. I assume as others have mentioned that as it becomes more acceptable, more people who might have remained closeted years ago will be more open an honest with themselves about their sexual preference. I don't see this as a bad thing.

Do you find women sexually attractive? Do you find men sexually attractive? I personally find women attractive. I can't imagine thinking one day, hey, I'm going to have sex with a dude, because it's outside of social norms. Do you think that with all the bull **** gay people have to put up with that 10% of the population would willfully make a choice that goes against their biological nature? How about 70 years ago when getting caught in a gay relationship could land you in a god-damned psych ward? Explain bisexuality? Some people are turned on by women and men. It's not !@#$ing hard to explain.

**** happens, I don't need a God to blame for it.

If there is a god, I don't believe he punishes us, especially not for actions which are harmless to other people / beings.

He wasn't saying they shouldn't be rescued, he was saying the rescuers should be glad his taxes are paying their salary. He was already yelling for them

They probably spent too much at dumb starbucks before this.

Real question - are there straight people who feel like they made a choice (or actively are making a choice?)

Well, you've probably never lived through a Missouri August.

I'd like to see the folks saying that this is attention seeking or somehow throwing it in our faces try and walk in the shoes of a gay person for a couple of days. You can still get the **** kicked out of you (or worse) in a lot of places in this country (and world) for acknowledging being gay. There are lots of good reasons to come out, insulting / spiting other people really isn't one of them. Right, but you're talking about non-conference games, which don't hurt his draft stock as much as in conference games.

I'd go, I like a little adventure.

I didn't see that happen this year (didn't get to watch a lot of games) and didn't notice it in the SB, but if it was happening then I agree it should have been a penalty.

No bias on my part. The NFL confirmed that according to the current rules, if a receiver is running a route, he has the right of way, even if his route is designed to run a "pick". What the Broncos are doing has been confirmed as being legal by the NFL - it's not offensive pass interference if a receiver is running a route. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/22/nfl-confirms-wes-welkers-hit-on-aqib-talib-was-legal/

So you missed the part above (in bold now) or just felt like arguing? Now I feel like arguing.

I think the Bills did what we had to based on his inability to stay out of trouble while here. At the same time, I don't have any hard feelings towards him, I always enjoyed watching him run for us, and I'm happy for him that he seems to have found a place where he can be himself without getting into too much trouble. I also really like his after touchdown non-celebrations.

Agreed. This has been the Seahawks strategy all season. Cheat enough, and it will start to look normal. http://online.wsj.co...310500005285822 Edit: I also think Denver has found interesting ways "around" the rules (e.g. setting picks through routes) and I don't think a tighter called game last night would have made a difference, but it might have made it a bit closer. I also was not invested in who won.

I also think this game could have been a lot closer if the officials had been a little closer with pass interference calls. Obviously though, the Broncos just kept shooting holes in their own lower extremities.

Frank the TANK! Frank the TANK! Frank the TANK! Frank the TANK!

Yeah, I feel like I ate too much beef on weck. It's 1993 all over again.

The tickets are 2000$ a piece. Price gouging is expected and encouraged. By the way, this game is unpleasant.

Is there an update on this?

He's not at this point in his career, but 4 pro bowls is nothing to sneeze at. If he can get 4 or 5 more (a big if) in the next 6-7 years I'd say he's in the discussion.
