re: The trajectory of the gay marriage issuequote: Cause I don't want someone from Oregon or Montana telling my appointed officials how they should run things. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: And I asked you to distinguish some individuals views on gay marriage and basically everyone's views on polygamy. Why is one okay and the other not? And stop calling it a civil rights issue. They're not even a suspect class. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Generally speaking, the quality is much better at the federal level. The same way Senators are better quality than the loony House. Narrow campaigns and rigged districts only allow for poor quality, imv. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: 100% spot on Reply • Back to Top |
quote: As evidenced by our wonderful federal government.  Reply • Back to Top |
quote: That's debatable... but the drastic difference in scope and power of the federal office isn't. They aren't "that much" better by ANY sane person's measuring stick. State level screw ups are limited in their ability to frick things up to a great extent. Reply • Back to Top |
| Marriage isn't a right, its a status for legalities. A pointless one at that. What does marriage give you in this day and age? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: quote:Isn't that the problem? Isn't this discrimination against single people? Get rid of the benefits, legalize contracts between consenting adults, don't force churches to marry anyone they don't want to, ????, profit. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Yes. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Taxes are most definitely the problem! Reply • Back to Top |
| Then don't forget widowers and widows. Marriage promotes stability which is inherently good for the country. There is a line to be drawn on governments stacking the deck for certain behaviors but it's not in front of marriage..IMO Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Even though more than half fail? Divorce is good for the country? Reply • Back to Top |
| Is interracial marriage a civil rights issue? Or is it an issue of contract law? If interracial marriage is a civil rights issue, then how is gay marriage not? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Because marriage between a man and women is a fundamental right and African Americans are a suspect class. Gay marriage has not been recognized as a fundamental right and gays are not a suspect class. As I stated earlier, although prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional, it didn't take away any right. It just restricted the use of the word marriage. So how is this a civil rights issues? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Why don't we prevent divorce? What's more unstable about married than unmarried homosexuals? Why do we promote other policies that generate resentment and instability? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: The homofascists will go the route of the Moloch worshippers: the courts. They will force gay marriage on the states. Then, as they've done in every country once they get "marriage," they'll start agitating for the ability to force churches to perform the marriages for them. Being that the Constitution already doesn't mean shite (see the HHS Mandate), the idiot population of this country will support this move to show that they are "tolerant." They will then get this. I will then move to either Croatia, Hungary, Poland, or Russia. Reply • Back to Top |
| Lol.....how does Adam and Steve marrying impact your life so much that you'd move out of the country? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: What a convenient definition that you just pulled out of your ass! quote: And neither had interracial marriage, before it was! Take a minute out of your day to argue with the 1960's bigotted version of yourself: Interracial marriage is not a fundamental right because marriage between a man and woman of the same race is a fundamental right. Marriage between two people of different races is NOT a fundamental right, therefore I must be right. quote: quote: This is kind of silly. Arguing that gays aren't experiencing discrimination because "they can't experience discrimination." Obviously the whole point of the argument is that withholding marriage from them constitutes discrimination. This post was edited on 5/9 at 10:30 pm Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
