I don't call them an empire any longer. I'm simply trying to say that homosexuality did not bring about the downfall of the British Empire.

And a big reason why these types of civilizations/empires didn't last.
I'd say the Roman Empire lasted quite well.

You think the USA will clock up as many years as the Roman Empire did?

Shall we make it interesting?
If the USA is in it's current position or better, speaking in terms of global politics, you owe me ten bucks.

I don't know exact amounts, I just know that we sent a number of soldiers of Iraq, of which there were a number of gay troops.
Probably a very small number. As long as they act professionally, I wouldn't expect any serious problems.

I wouldn't. As great as they thought they were and as huge as their empire was, their immorality (amongst other things) caused their downfall. The didn't last at all. They are history.

I don't think you know enough to say with any authority.
"For a man to be great, he must not dwell on small things, though he may enjoy them."
Thy mind, O Man, if thou wilt lead a soul unto salvation must stretch as high as the utmost heaven, and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss. Thou must commune with God.

My dad says gay people are not right. I have also seen that in the Bible.
