Professors arguments unsupported
By Tigran Kesayan | Feb. 10, 2008Last Friday there was an extremely biased, highly misrepresentative and clearly false argument presented by Professor McCarthy as he denied the genocide of Armenians in 1915. It is important to note that an overwhelming majority of the information presented in McCarthy's lecture came from his own research - the same research which has been called "carelessly written, often misinformed, and shamelessly following a Turkish nationalist agenda" by prominent scholars such as the International Association of Genocide Scholars and the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies.

No evidence for Armenian genocide
By Tufan Gokirmak | Feb. 10, 2008Regarding Tigran Kesayan's Friday letter, apparently Mr. Kesayan has never been exposed to Dr. McCarthy's work before - otherwise he would at least know that his name is not James McCarthy but Justin McCarthy. If you don't even know somebody's real name, how can you question his scientific work?

Religion and public policy shouldn’t mix
By Ashley Carnifax | Feb. 7, 2008After reading Benjamin Burwell's column on the Marriage Protection Amendment, I stared at it in disbelief. I'm not at all surprised that there are people who still think it is okay to discriminate against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Procreation does not define a marriage
By Theresa Sumrall | Feb. 7, 2008To claim, as Burwell did in Wednesday's column, that marriage is defined and given meaning by a couple's ability to have (heterosexual) sex - and subsequent offspring - is absurd.
