					<description>Hubris:

Thanks for visiting bubbasoundsoff.com and commenting.

I'm a little technologically-impaired myself and about all I can tell you is that my ranking on Technorati.com has continued to climb and more people are seeing my link because this matrix of url's is on my website.

From what I understand, you just post it somewhere on your website, either in a static location or as a post (which is what I did).  When someone copies it off your website they often comment or you'll get notification that a new link is coming in to your website, and I go to that website and cut and paste their url and edit one of the Viral Tag spots with their url.

Enjoy and good luck!

Bubba

					<description>Hi Bubba - thank's for dropping by.  I've bookmarked your blog for future reading :)

I read the above comments by Dobson with quite some amusement, tinged with a sadness that such views exist and assertions are seen to be valid by many people.

As a married mum (well in a registry office, so perhaps that doesn't count in Dobsons world view) to 4 children, neither my husband or I feels in any way threatened by same-sex marriages - if anything I'm pleased to see that gay couples are now able to choose to have their committment to each other recognised in such a way, about bloody time!

This one had me rolling around: "Some have been known to eat the same brand of peanut butter throughout childhood."

The point is?

ROFL!

And of course, ALL children produced from a heterosexual relationship are brought up in this way: "More than ten thousand studies have concluded that kids do best when they are raised by loving and committed mothers and fathers."

I could go on and on and on, but I've got pud to serve up :)</description>

					<description>First of all, I wanted to thank you for linking to this entry on my post. 
I really appreciated that, and am glad I had the chance to read this. 
Dobson has, like you said, many, many outrageous claims against gay marriage. Strangely enough, he dances around the topic, going on tangents with polygamy and such, while never really speaking about it. Maybe he's just too homophobic to hit it straight on? It seems to be the case...
He also manages to do the thing that gets me riled up more than anything else about the topic of gay marriage: he says God doesn't like it. Honestly, I'm Catholic myself, I have, and I swear this is true, completely read the Bible, cover to back, 3 times in my life. It doesn't seem like a lot, but I have actually read it, and not just skimmed it, and let me tell you, the only people opposing homosexuality are humans. Gods 10 commandments never mention opposing homosexuality. Jesus never says to condemn homosexuals. Actually, Jesus, who took in all of the people who were being ridiculed and shunned, would probably welcome homosexuals with open arms. I mean, he did say "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." So, when it comes to religion, I think the whole "God hates Homosexuals" deal is just a lot of stupid people making stupid claims. 
Besides, God is supposed to be omnipotent. How are humans supposed to understand him?

Also, this whole deal with children not knowing real, nurturing families? Strange, but there's a whole lot of families with drunk parents or parents who are constantly high on drugs, where the kids grow up with problems, but I don't see any bans on alcoholics or druggies getting married and having kids... and I think they do a lot more harm than a normal gay married couple who's adopted kids would. 
Besides, as society is, children would still be exposed to heterosexual couples, so they'd be able to see both sides of the spectrum anyways.
And, if people did make fun of them because they have two moms or two dads, then its those people who are at fault, and not the kids, and not their parents who want to give them a loving, caring home.
Also, psychologically speaking, there's this whole debate on whether growing up in a gay household can 'turn' a child gay. More and more studies are proving that a lot of people who are homosexual are like that because that's the way their brains are. That's the way their brains are wired, and that's the way they're born. Unless the children in gay households are already inclined towards homosexuality due to their internal wiring, the only thing they will get out of it is a tolerance for other people and an ability to accept others, no matter who they are. I don't really see that as a bad thing.

Sorry for the long comment, but... you know. It got me into thinking/writing mode.

Once more, good writing, and good exposing of this idiots contradictions and stupid way of expressing his homophobia. Let's just hope he's part of a dying crowd that will soon go away.</description>

					<description>An impressive dose of cold clarity thrown on Dobson's heated obscurantism - though personally I wouldn't have wasted light waves by reading him.

Who exactly is Dobson writing for? Liberals, intelligent people, or gays? No, he's writing for a fairly small number of hardcore religious lunatics who already hate homosexuals, feel the need for a few paper-thin arguments to bolster their position, and are immune to the reason which demolishes these arguments.

In other words, the kind of imbicile who Dobson writes for will never read your blog, and would discard your points as being provided by the devil. If he'd been writing for persuadable "moderates" who hadn't made up their mind, it would be different.

Unless I'm wrong, in which case the situation is more desperate than I imagined.</description>

					<description>The creepiest part of Dobson's anti-homosexual hysteria was his advocacy of little boys showering naked with grown naked men in order to compare their penis sizes and thus prevent the little boy from growing up to be homosexual.</description>
