they consider "being gay" as if it was a psycological illness which can be "cured" with rehabilitation, or a "addiction" that can be cured with rehabilitation... i find this idea so "retarded"...

yeah, you are right, maybe that's a better way to explain it than the way I did... I meant exactly that (I didnt make myself understandable) although I do think that it is not only that they are against "social progression", they are against society (or part of society) who are just looking for the same rights as the rest of the people this idea is exactly the argument the spanish government has used (which I agree completely with) in order to defend same-sex marriages after such huge and unfair "attacks" from the part of religious (Catholic, basically) groups: not to allow gay people to get married is to deny an important part of the society not to have and enjoy the same social rights than heterosexual people I'm including an article that has appeared talking about this law in the Spanish Parliament: Spain: Gay Marriage Will Soon Be Authorized Le Nouvel Observateur http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/042105I.shtml Wednesday 21 April 2005 The Congreso has adopted a proposed law authorizing marriage between persons of the same sex as well as adoption. Senators are also expected to give their approval. It is anticipated that the law will be implemented this summer. On Thursday, April 21, the Spanish deputies adopted a proposed law that should go into effect this coming summer authorizing marriage between homosexuals and adoption by homosexual couples. The law modifies the Civil Code by introducing the following phrase: "Marriage will respond to the same conditions and will have the same effects whether the contracting parties are the same sex or of different sexes." A total of 183 deputies voted for the law, 136 voted against it, and 6 abstained. The Socialist Justice Minister, Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar, had previously argued in favor of a text that, according to him, "goes beyond the barriers of discrimination (...) that affect the rights and freedoms and notably free choice in the pursuit of happiness, a fundamental unwritten right." Done Deal The text still must be submitted to the Senate, where it will, in all probability, be approved; so likely is it that, on Thursday, partisans as well as adversaries of the text already saw its definitive adoption, scheduled for June, as a done deal. The vote was greeted by applause and cries of joy from the groups for the defense of homosexual rights who were present in the hall of the Congress of Deputies and who had assembled in front of the Parliament building since this morning. Among them, one couple of two men already held up a sign: "Habemus Matrimonium." In counterpoint, in a communiqué, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church condemned "a radically unjust law, harmful to the common good." "The well-being of children demands that they not be manufactured in laboratories nor adopted by unions of persons of the same sex," the bishops believe.

that's why I wanted to see it: I love Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn is such a great actor... but what i said before: i've asked some people who have gone and they found the movie very "weak"... i'm gonna go anyway

The Charlatans UK - Songs from the other side

The Smiths - The singles (one of the best groups ever... in my opinion ;) )

Hi everybody, This movie has just been realesed in Spain and I havent heard very good opinions on it. Has anyone gone to see it? What is your opinion on it? thanx! ;)

right, Christian, this is exactly what I can't understand: apparently religion is devoted to help those people in need... there are a lot of people dying of AIDS in Africa and there is a scientifically tested method which would reduce that huge number of deaths which is the use of the condom... and the Catholic Church is totally against it (considering it almost a sin)... typical contradiction between morality and social help

Depeche Mode - Get the balance right

REM - Around the sun

Rialto (some more characters...)

download some concerts from the Hub and that way - at least - you will imagine yourself listening to him live ;)

First of all, I didnt say that you believed they all are Nazis (you said that about me) Secondly, nazi not only refers to the german political party (by the way, I know European History and I know what the political party called Nazi was...) but also (and I quote the dictonary entry from "Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary") used as a common noun to refer to: 2 DISAPPROVING someone who is cruel or who demands an unreasonable degree of obedience, or someone who has extreme and unreasonable beliefs about race

Rapture, The

Rammstein - Live in Lille, Paris (2005)

REM - Man on the moon

this is not what I mean and you know that... I think that stating that is simply demagogy... is it not a nazist attitude, for example, to say that all gay people bring the destruction to society and should be left apart because gay people are sinners (and these are Ratzinger's words in one of his speeches before becoming the Pope)?

thanx for the link, michael... it sounds pretty well

Rammstein (they just rock, specially live ;) )

The Weakerthans - Reconstruction site (didnt know this band and they sound pretty well actually)

Coldplay - God put a smile on my face

I havent ever been to any of his concerts but fortunately - and thanx to SUCH kind people here and in the Hub - I have been able to listen to him live and I imagine myself in one of his concerts enjoying SO much listening to him live... I hope it comes one day when I can fulfill my wish and dream of seeing him playing live ;)

I can perfectly connect (I'm connected there right now) what Calgarydave says is true: make sure you have shared content and that you have avaible upload slots. If not it won't let you either connect or download anything from people in the Hub
