    So......

    For countless centuries, gays have gotten the boot from just about every religious organization...

    Now they're kicking back. Justice well served, I'd say. Christians definitely need the gays to kick them, to restore the balance. And don't bitch and whine about it. It's about bloody time someone punched your power-hungry noses. You're no longer in charge of the world, the world no longer cares about you. Deal with it. And stop the whining, it makes you all look pathetic, as well as ever so slightly retarded.

    Well in that case it's about time to sue the gay only dating portals who are then most likely also breaking the law, isn't it?

    I get adds all the time telling me to date Muslim women whenever I do research on a Muslim faction for my my mod or whetever. Surely this is discrimination - but who cares?

    While I'm sure it is the minority of angry gays with an agenda, much as HoreTore shows, it's nonetheless another example of gays demanding special treatment because of so called 'discrimination'.

    Why can't we just have 1. Heterosexual dating sites 2. Homosexual dating sites, and 3. All Purpose dating sites???

    Now apparently the only fair way is to have 1. Homosexual dating sites, and 2. All Purpose dating sites?

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Rhyfelwyr and Husar you miss the important distinction .
    E-harmony advertises that it is open to all potential customers with only 3 exceptions .
    You must be over 13 , you cannot be currently married , you cannot be a convicted felon .
    It doesn't list poofs as one of the exceptions so by discriminating against a customer on those grounds it is a perfect invitation for legal action .

    I think it is about time that Gay sites allowed heterosexual dating. I want my pick of the litter.

    Who cares? Don't use the feature if you don't like it. It's amazing how much trouble people spend on this issue...

    Do you think the same thing would happen if I tried to use a gay dating service? Do you really think E-harmony would've been better off if the put a "Straights only" clause in?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    These kinds of things cause more animosity and discrimination than they solve. And you are right christianity is now on a downward tumble after an independent dating service is forced to cater to gays.

    There was no fight here at all.

    If you used a gay dating service that claimed it accepted all customers yet then refused your application because you were not a poof but it didn't specify that it only took poofs then you too could claim discrimination .
    Simple isn't it .

    So, perhaps Strike chose the wrong melon to mess with in this case, you clearly know this because you are not an idiot Tribesman.

    I believe Striks over-arching theme of argument is that the law is an ass which is used by those persons in society who should not be allowed to live (lawyers) to really piss people off and ruin all attempts for social cohesion for the sake of a quick buck.

    Then again it may not have been.

    Oh and Horetore, you are A-class comedy these days, the strength of your poison is legend.

    Troll much? It's funny that I hear much more of this fundamentalist crap from atheists than from Christians, contrary to what you seem to be asserting.

    Militant atheism is all the rage these days.

    Anyway, I take back my earlier statement now that Tribesman has explained the situation more clearly. Although I would say that it was a bad system to begin with. Also I question the motives of the one gay who logged onto that site.

    "The group"? What?
    Simple Rabbit , which group is E-Harmony a part of ?

    Also I question the motives of the one gay who logged onto that site.
    Well according to the class action they seem to have refused serviceto up to one million customers , other law suits against them have failed ....like the person who was refused because he was still married , but that was because being married was one of the exceptions they listed on their membership requirements .

    Straight Christians seeking straight Christians. My, the outrage!
    Ah but Louis that is where they screwed up , they said they make no exeptions apart from the 3 I mentioned , they say you don't have to be certain race , religion , ethnicity or follow certain views its a service open to all except the underage , married or criminal/sex offender .They didn't list gender orientation as an exception for eligibility for membership

    Ah their lawyers spotted that one , it carries a rider .
    You can book a date with little teenagers as long as the jurisdiction both of you are in considers it to be the age of consent . So you might want to hook up in one of those good Christian countries down south or join the FLDS.

    Thanks. Didn't know about their 13 year old rule. Was kinda creepy when I read it.

    Since you're a guy, a lesbian should not show up on your search results.

    Maybe I should call Exxon a group and not a company and then act superior when people don't understand me.

    Oh, and "simple rabbit"? Ha! What's the matter, did calling me silly all the time not work? Go ahead now and act like insulting people all the time makes you look smart.
