    Current mood: amused

    Little hipocritical of your past...
    I find this article particularly amusing. Seeing as how Greek society used to be based on homosexuality this is very funny to me.

It is an interesting article, and it is good that the fine is causing some debate and discussion over there. However, the fact that over 2,000 years homosexuality, only among men, was viewed as the highest form of love in Ancient Greek society, doesn't make a current Greek regulatory body hypocritical. They would only be hypocritical if the contradicted themselves, not if they contradicted people that lived 2,000 years before them...by that logic we are hypocritical by giving equal rights to women and abolishing slavery, even though none of us have (hopefully) denied a woman equal rights or held a person in slavery...not sure that's a conclusion we want to reach

I am sure you were not implying this, I just felt like being obsessive :)

peace

Actually we are hipocritical! Down with womens rights! Bring back the slave ships! We are our history! But for real, your right Don, and yes, you are being obsessive ;) hehe. But its all good. I still just find it amusing, then again I find human in many things that people would deem as being in bad taste :)
