Here is my Conservative rant of the day, week, month, probably year.
IMHO, this is going too far. But hell, this is my opinion.
I hope the posting Police doesn't arrest me for something I unintentionally do wrong by posting this one.
Nmysys, just so you know, here's the guidelines in the TOS that I think others have been referring you to in relation to your posts:
6. For press releases, newsletters, web pages, or other copyrighted content to be inserted into posts: Minor fair use excerpts of less than one paragraph (4 sentences) may be used if the content is publicly available on the internet. Please post a link to the content per the Fair Use Doctrine.
Pick your favorite 4 sentences and post 'em. It helps if you pick the 4 that most accurately represent the purpose of the story, but you can pick any 4 you like. Just beware that people will read the whole article and if you try to bias your quotes from your source just to support your position, you'll likely be called on it. I have the most trouble picking so few of snippets myself so best of luck to ya!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I actually had a long conversation with the 285RoadCrew and JMC about it after I posted it and I now think I have the picture. Old age makes it harder to grasp some of these concepts, but I have been working on it and trying to figure out what is required.

I'll be damned if I"m going to tell them I'm a male and I prefer females.
I'm going to keep my mouth shut. They'll just have to guess. :rofl
I notice there isn't any uproar over the Sexist Remark by Harry Reid. If it had come from a Conservative the server on this forum would fill up with complaints from Liberals.
You know the one, about the Senator being the hottest Senator in Washington.

:VeryScared:
Not even close - they are at the same end of the spectrum - they both represent a total government solution to the problem of individual liberties and freedom.
I would not be surprised if all clinical studies will be required to collect that data as well, as they currently do for race/ethnicity. The interesting thing is that as a researcher, you must record what the subject states. So if they say that are from Africa and are the darkest person you ever saw and they indicate Caucasian, then that is what they are in your study. Is there an "other" selection for Sexual Preference? Just asking.....
