I am the General Manager for a hotel in Orlando, Florida. The hotel I manage has 1,500 rooms. On a normal day, our TV’s probably sell 30 – 40 gay porn titles per night. On gay pride, that number goes up a tad, to something like 60 – 70 per night. But when the Christian Conventions are in town, that number triples, sometimes even 6x the number goes up. Why do think that is?
I myself tried to deny, repress and stuff down my affections for guys for, oh, 27 years.
During that long, lonely time, if I had been at a Christian convention in a hotel in a large city, I might have found myself sorely tempted to view some gay porn.
I don’t find what you say unusual in the least.
Just because a gay guy is Christian, and mistakenly hounded by a sense of guilt for being gay, doesn’t mean he is not human.
After going into clinical depression, I was forced to come to terms with my sexuality and admit to myself that guys give me energy, life and joy.
Now I am proud to be a gay Christian, and my church body is gay-friendly too.
But meanwhile, so many, many men are absolutely tormented by their yearning to be with another guy. Even though they honestly think it is a sin, they can never get away from the truth of their feelings and longings.
Those guys who buy the gay porn would be so much happier if they just found a great boyfriend to spend the night with during that convention. I hope that, in time, more and more churches will realize that there is nothing wrong with that.
How would Marxist thought on the state and democracy interpret the political conventions (political practice) of contemporary legislatures within liberal democracies?
I never really agreed to much with pure Marxist theory, but I do believe in Trotskysm, and that is what I am.
Trotsky believed that, in order to establish a true nation ran by a dictatorship of the proletariat, the majority of people must have their say and thoughts govern, not an elite political class as under Stalinism (the worst form of communism)
Communism isn’t against democracy–a "dictatorship of the people" simply means that the majority of people dictate the nation’s decisions and core values, not a small political overclass.

Post this in R&S then sit back and have a laugh at all the angry christians
Is there a the relationship between sentence fluency and conventions? Is it valuable to know and practice the conventions of formal English?
It is my thinking that the conventions are there in order to make the sentences flow. Fluency means that the sentence structure, plus the appropriate vocabulary, help us unravel an idea effortlessly.
who, according to the third geneva conventions qualifies for prisoner of war status? How can you tell the difference between a prisoner of war and an illegal combatant? What is the relevance of this difference?.. Also, what privileges do prisons of war enjoy under the third geneva conventions?

Can anybody tell me the genre details of Sport based films? What are the codes and conventions of sport films?
Yes, and it’s very simple. It MUST be about a sport. If it’s about football, perfect. If it’s about computer programming, think again, buster.
For physical theatre in drama what are the main conventions?
check on google
I’m completely stuck so any help is fantastic. In particular I’m looking for techniques or conventions that create meanings concerning hysteria and corruption in the courts.
The Crucible Literary Devices

=========================
The play itself
Though there isn’t a lot of symbolism in the story, the events in the play itself are an allegory for the intolerance of McCarthyism. For a decade spanning the late 1940s to the late 1950s, the American government was intensely suspicious of the possible influence of communism on citizens and institutions. The FBI accused thousands of people of “un-American activities” and monitored many more; these people’s careers and personal lives were frequently destroyed. More often than not, there was little to no evidence to support the accusations. Nevertheless, the FBI and various government groups involved in monitoring or accusing individuals, such as The House Un-American Activities Committee, enjoyed widespread support from the American population.
