Unsoft's List

Ezekiel 16:49-50 describes the sin of Sodom as "not aiding the poor and needy" and "committing an abomination," it refers to two different offenses, as the list of vices in Ezekiel 18:12 makes clear when it distinguishes these two phrases.

I'm not particularly religious or particularly homosexual. As a matter of fact, you might say I have very-little-to-no real expertise in either matter. Still, it strikes me as funny (that's funny queer, not so much funny ha-ha) that political conservatives are typically much more willing to jump up and down pointing and yelling "abomination" upon discovery of a fellow who might enjoy the occasional homosexual union, but there is no equal predisposition among them to "aid the poor and needy".

An item in the Charleston Gazette Readers Voice from last week points out the failure of the Charleston PD to rid the west side of the same 4 or 5 hookers who've been working there for the past 10 years or so.

The way I see it, if those girls have been steadily employed in the same business location for more than a decade, west side prostitution has to be the most stable job opportunity in the Capitol City.
