I don't claim to understand it, but in England at that time, males (upper class) had homosexual relationships in high school, then went on to be "normal" heterosexual men afterwards. See Robert Graves, Goodbye to All That. I don't understand it, but I am not sure all those people were gay in the way we understand it.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an ex-muzzie but apparently she is very anti-Christian.

You’re absolutely right! It was hip at one time to say, “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” Truth is, we shouldn’t trust anyone who doesn’t want children. I’m not talking about people who can’t have children or want to hold off before having them. I’m talking about people who vote NO to creating the future. They don’t have a vested interest in it, so they shouldn’t be trusted.

>> People with children have a greater stake in the future than ...

You’re speaking on a sensible level that is sadly enigmatic to half the adult population including a few heroes here.

Keynes called himself an immoralist.

He was a big fan of the “Parable of the Bees”, which advocated immorality as being good for society.

Alright, let 's just say it. keynes' economic policies sucked and keynes sucked little boys.

While the fact remains that Ferguson apologized for his comments due to possible well intentioned motivations that could exist and his criticism based on the perceived sexuality of Keynes, the general point he made stands.

Keynes did not have children and had questionable interests in preserving the future saying, "In the long run we are all dead."

A lot of liberals are proponents of eugenics too.

Got a link for that?

The anti-Christian part, I mean. It's well-known that she was onto the pedophile Prophet's racket.

We take a longer view of things: what is good for our children’s children as opposed to: “In the end, we’re all dead.” An evil idea, which has always been the nexus of their goals and beliefs.

I've said the same thing here, a few times.

Keynes' famous remark about the predictably bad effects of his stimulus spending in the long run was that it didn't matter because "in the long run, we're all dead".

Well, if a family is not part of your scenario, you will predictably have something of a present, as opposed to a future, orientation.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And he raped little boys while on vacation as per his lover Lytton Strachey. Roosevelt knew about this or he was a bigger fool than anyone could imagine.

So gays are responsible for the current deficit ? How about Republicans that claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets who don’t love their kids enough ? What a load of crock.

Heteros are better at economics because of sexual orientation?

No, because they have a vested interest in the sucess of society present and future. Homos reject normality at even the basic levels.

He’d have done better to mention that single heterosexual people have this problem too.

That argument is generally accepted as correct it’s only when you apply it to the protected class that it is rejected.
