Ahh the completely unprovable "Homosexuality cause the fall of Rome" theory. Had nothing to do with an empire to big to control, reliance on Merc armies, lack of hard currency in circulation. No it was guys blowing guys that caused the fall of rome. Jumpin' Jeebus go back out to the barn and whittle wood and spit "backer" in a spittoon while listening to dueling banjos. I though I would get a bit more intelligent debate then "Rome fell cause of them thar queers"!

I guess BB subcribes to Robertsons theory that gays caused 911.
 
At least when The Danold posted that the dole was the cause of the fall of rome he could point to some historical writings that proved that point. The only place that you get an equation of homosexuality and the fall of Rome with any serious claims is from Gibbon's book Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. But that book was published in the 1770's and then carried foward by homophobes such as yourself through the 19th century (that is the 1800's). Rome actually fell more out of bad leadership (in the west).

Anyone see that Democratic debate for Gays last night?

Can you imagine the pressure? The fashion/style/and wardrobe alone?

I sure hope Edwards went ahead and got one of those $400 dollar haircuts.

And I hope Hillary wasn't wearing that pants suit.



Anyway, I guess this is a first. A debate on gay issues. We've come a long way. No way this happens ten years ago. Why, I can still remember Cons laughing at Howard Dean for signing a civil unions bill as governor. Now, no one except the most extreme knuckledraggers even has a problem with civil unions.

It's always the knuckledraggers!

were correct in the causes you cited they were contributors to the fall in 476AD....The Fall of Rome began with the periods of Caligula and Nero...the decline over the centuries was also caused by decadence and immorality that began with Caligula and Nero and many other emperors that followed...Only one attempted to restore Rome to the Great years pre-Caligula...he was assasinated after only a three month Rule...

By the way I am not a fan of Gibbons...and he did not place the blame on homosexuality he placed the blame on Christians and Jews!
