      - Here's the full quote. I don't think he's doing it to get attention, he is talking about his own personal interpretation of Jesus' life - Roger More Feb 19, 10:37 15
        
        Oh of course he was doing it for attention. And his own personal interpretation of Jesus being gay is based on....? -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 10:53 14
        
        And the interpretation of Jesus being blond and blue-eyes is based on...? - Roger More Feb 19, 11:02 2
        
        I can understand feeling a connection, but that connection is there without Elton feeling the need for Jesus to be gay too. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 11:05 1
        
        It's what makes sense to him. We don't really know if Jesus was gay, or straight, or asexual, or human, or divine, or whatever -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 11:10

        if that's how you need to define him in order for him to have the most relevance to your spiritual life, why not? - znufrii Feb 19, 11:10 2
        
        No, but neither am I going to be the one to tell Jesus what he has to be in order to be relevant to me -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 11:19
        
        more broadly, from a religious perspective, who he was as an individual is not as important as how he is understood to be. -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 11:13
        
        *tags this post* - Roger More Feb 19, 11:03
        
        if he was straight, he would have turned the water into Bud Light. - TFox Feb 19, 10:57 1
        
        I'd like to think that if he had decided to turn the water into anything other than wine it wouldn't have been one of the crappiest beers ever made. - Stephen Feb 19, 11:09
        
        the 12 dudes who followed him around -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 10:54 2

  - i don't think any of it will work. first they'll have to change the name to "Stuff My Dad Says" which instantly makes it suck - poochinski Feb 19, 10:19 3
    - It could be "S#!T My Dad Says!" and actually bleep stuff. I doubt they'll go that way though. -- nm - TWuG Feb 19, 10:21 1
      - Shit My Shat Says -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 10:30

Tax question. If you itemize, you can deduct state income tax from your federal income tax, right? - ty97 Feb 19, 10:16 2
- You deduct what you've actually paid during the calendar year. Payroll withholding and anything extra you had to pay in '09 for your '08 return. You - MojaveMeg Feb 19, 10:23 1

  - that's an absurd statement. rioting at italian matches is certainly uncommon.... - x Feb 19, 10:22 1
    - thousands - Danedukenuuk Feb 19, 10:26
  - don't most soccer fans riot? :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 19, 10:15 3
    - not *inside* the stadium, usually... -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 10:18
    - you would too if forced to watch soccer -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 10:16
