Brian's on a roll with thread titles.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

When you are a media junkie like I have been my entire life, you pick up on puns. It has made me so rich I still live in a trailer. Quite useful, like nipples on men.

That article gives the impression that AiG initially agreed to non-discriminatory hiring in order to secure the tax breaks, then decided to ignore the agreement once they started offering jobs. They also resisted the state's decision to rescind the breaks once their actions became known. That gives the additional impression that they agreed to the hiring practices knowing full well that they would not honor them, and only in order to secure tax breaks.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
