Comments on: TABOR, Question 1 drop in polls http://mainecampus.com/2009/10/27/tabor-question-1-drop-in-polls/ The University of Maine student newspaper since 1875 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Hannah http://mainecampus.com/2009/10/27/tabor-question-1-drop-in-polls/#comment-8190 Hannah Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:30:28 +0000 http://mainecampus.com/?p=3724416#comment-8190 I glanced at the "About Us" section of MassNews.com, and I found this: "The Original Massachusetts news was founded as a hard copy newspaper by Attorney J. Edward Pawlick in 1998 as a conservative alternative to the Boston Globe, after he had retired from a distinguished career as the founder and CEO for twenty-five years of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly." Tell me, why should I trust a news source which outright admits that it has a conservative bias? Not to mention there are spelling and grammar errors galore on that website (it spells Massachusetts as "Massachusett's" in a few places, for goodness sakes!), and those errors further detract from its overall credibility. You'll have to provide me with a more trustworthy source than that if you want me to take you seriously. I glanced at the “About Us” section of MassNews.com, and I found this:

Tell me, why should I trust a news source which outright admits that it has a conservative bias? Not to mention there are spelling and grammar errors galore on that website (it spells Massachusetts as “Massachusett’s” in a few places, for goodness sakes!), and those errors further detract from its overall credibility. You’ll have to provide me with a more trustworthy source than that if you want me to take you seriously.

I'm not trying to put down people who are gay, you just asked me for statistics and I found some. and I normally prefer logical thinking rather than statistics, rather graphic ones at that, so I gave you one example of proofs.

I believe this is an important definition, because the best place for rearing children is with two individuals, both inherently part of creation, whose gender differences help each child learn different, important concepts. You'll not I do not comment on stability of gay relationships, though I could have. The differences of the gender is whet makes this important.
