re: Gay Marriage on the verge of becoming legal in France and Englandquote: At what expense? These are people's rights and lives we're talking about. What's a greater priority than that? With a stoke of a pen, no less. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I see any time spent by our Congress on gay marriage as a complete waste of time. the only thing worse is when they have congressional hearings on sports issues. and that pesky judicial branch I tell you Reply • Back to Top |
| According to Gallup, 3.4 percent of the U.S. population is either gay or bi. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. The economy effects us all. Let's focus on that before we get into social issues. Reply • Back to Top |

I also dont have any faith that congress will be "fixing" our economy anytime soon. We can't just shut down all other issues until the economy is roaring again. Reply • Back to Top |
| Are you comparing America to Europe using a gay marriage metric? I personally would like to see the federal gov out of the marriage business altogether, which would make gay marriage a moot point. I heard Zimbabwe and Nigeria are moving towards that using a tribal warfare method... Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Very few Americans are affected by this at all. I think we should focus on issues that deal with all of us, like the economy. The repeal of DOMA can wait. This post was edited on 2/5 at 6:58 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote: That's the only reason why I am not in favor of it right now. A fight over DOMA and the legalization of gay marriage will take longer than the battle over healthcare. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: So lets just pass it and move on. Right now it's a big distraction. Pass it and it goes away. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It'll be a year-long fight in the House and Senate. It will tie up other more important projects. Healthcare was a big fight. The battle over gay marriage will be even bigger. Why not wait until the steady march of socialism and progressivism finally takes care of the issue for us? This post was edited on 2/5 at 7:00 pm Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by Mickey Goldmill on 2/5 at 7:02 pm to Srbtiger06 quote: No thats not correct. Minorities have rights too. Its the responsibility of the majority to give equal rights to the minority. Under your reasoning, we would probably still have segregation in America. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Because it's not an issue of rights, you idiotic, Orange bastard. When marriage is recognized by the government, it is recognized as a tool to preserve and expand the nation by creating more citizens. That's why governments attach all sorts of bonuses to marriage (tax breaks, hospital privileges, etc.). This is seen in the West going back to the fricking "Athenian Empire." Most of the homosexuals didn't even want marriage until the '70s when their groups were infiltrated by Soviet agents who thought that they could destroy the West by destroying marriage.

Posted by Mickey Goldmill on 2/5 at 7:04 pm to RollTide1987 quote: Why though? Why is this going to be a bigger fight than healthcare which DIRECTLY affects every American. Can you say that 2 gay men getting married directly affects every american? No. The entire fight is ignorant and a waste of time. Lawmakers spending tons of tax payer money on fighting this in courts should be ashamed of themselves. Reply • Back to Top |
