Morons of America unite!Yes, there’s nothing like outright displays of bigotry and hatred to get the attention of the news media. If nothing else, they ably demonstrate what the opposite of ‘tolerance’ is.

CNN.com - Tennessee county wants to ban gays - Mar 18, 2004

The county that was the site of the Scopes “Monkey Trial” over the teaching of evolution is asking lawmakers to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes against nature.

The Rhea County commissioners approved the request 8-0 Tuesday.

Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the measure, also asked the county attorney to find a way to enact an ordinance banning homosexuals from living in the county.

“We need to keep them out of here,” Fugate said.

Yeah, can’t have them gays moving in and raising the average intelligence level of the county residents as a result. They look ignorant enough already without having anyone to compare them against.

If I were gay, I would not want to live there. I hope they enjoy their hatred.

It’s stories like these that remind me that my European passport is an escape hatch for my family.

I find it interesting that they would call it a crime against nature.  Animals have same sex, sex A LOT!!!  So, it must be very natural.  Assuming animals are natural of course smile.

And what about the gays already living there?
Round ‘em up with guns and dogs - then stick pink triangles on their shirts?
What about the teenage gays - kick them out of home?

This makes my blood boil. Maybe it just proves that we are evolved from primitive creatures - except the primitive creatures have jobs as Rhea County commissioners. :disbelief:

This just further shows the total ignorance hatred and intolerance that religion breeds.

What is needed badly is a nation wide debate and i dont mean some cheezy Fox network thing but a real honest hardcore debate.
Another Scopes Monkey Trial part Duex.

Get 10 of the most eminent Scientist from various fields of research to argue the Evolution side.

Get 10 of whom ever the Creationist claim to know jack and have a solid 10 part mini series each part 2 hours in length.

Hell id pay to see that on PPV
