No it is not
Yeah but in the US you can.

I support traditional marriages....
Does anyone not support traditional marriages, or is that a code phrase for "I don't support gay marriages." I don't see many protesting against marriage between a man and a woman.
Spend enough time on the internet and you will.
I find it fascinating that "The Giver" rates #11 (1990-1999) and #23 (2000-2009) on the ALAs 'Most Frequently Challenged' lists (for (very mildly) discussing sexual arousal in adolescents) and yet, when it gets made into a movie, it gets championed by some as advancing conservative values. (I've read the book but not seen the movie, so I can't comment on how reasonable this view is.)
I'm thinking they wouldn't like my take on the story.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
I interpret it as an allegory for the Garden of Eden story. The Community (with its absence of pain and want) can only maintain itself by evil means (e.g. infanticide and involuntary euthanasia) but to have citizens performing evil acts would also destroy its 'idealness'. The way they reconcile these contradictory requirements is by denying their citizens knowledge of good and evil. Jonas attempts to give them this knowledge, which, if he succeeded, would effectively expel The Community from their Eden, hence he is playing the role of the serpent.
There's two reasons no one complains about the movie. 1.) It wasn't remotely sexual. That part of the book was summed up in about two lines of G rated dialog. 2.) Only one person bothered to see it and is burdened with the memories of it.
Which is what, a euphemism for "slavery" ? Isn't that the GOAL of Capitalism??
Doing anything for free is by definition not capitalism.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha. Um DSL (digital subscriber line) uses twisted copper. You are lucky of you pull 20M. You should only be able to get a max of 13. Thats why you can't get Netflix. Centurylink is pissed because it can't make money on an dying 1980s technology. No one should be on DSL anymore.
VDSL or bonded DSL can easily handle 20M.
These organisms survive by converting methane into energy, enabling them to survive where there is no wind or sunlight,
The missed the part that makes this case unique. The organism could live with no wind, no sunlight and no cheetos!
Sure you could use store brand cheese puffs.........if you call that living.
Guess I have to go to 4chan now to read gay hating misanthropic posts.
