YEah, reminds me of the days when we were all "SEPERATE BUT EQUAL"... ,
when "those XXXXX could still go to their own schools and take their own
busses...".


Go grind that ax someplace else - this has nothing to do with r.a.m. and trying
to convince folks that gay and lesbians are their own "race" is just plain
stupid.


How was it then that they were "second class" ???


Bright one, no one here suggested you have to ride "busses", no one here called
you names, in fact, you are the cross-posting nit trying very hard to get a
flame war started, by insulting as many folks as you can. _Great_ way to make
your point.

stuffing you down into the bit bin Later, dude. Come back when you want to
debate like a grown up.

Bush said 'God' told him to go for Iraq....
(Or get Saddam, or whatever the phrase was)

And people belived him !!!

That just blows my mind, sorry can't understand that at all.


Personally, I would rather have a spiritual leader than a religous leader, and
when it comes to global statesmanship, I actually prefer neither, or a man that
keeps his faith in a particular set of teachings private to his circle of
family - I don't see why Reagan's belief in astrology was frowned upon but Bush
II is commended for sounding as pulpity as he can manage. A deeply spiritual
leader is not a problem to me - but the same type of 100% surity in his
religion is a trait that both Bin Laden and Bush share. Bottom line: when you
think "God" *truly* supports your views and thinks less of the "unbelievers"/
heathens _______ fill in the blank, I think it should be pointed out that every
other religion thinks the same. Someone is wrong, or God is a sadist. I
prefer to think that at a minimum, 50% of humanity has guessed wrongly in
regards to "God".

From: "George Z. Bush"


Take comfort. All of the people didn't believe him.....the more than half of
the
country that didn't vote for his election in 2000 are now convinced that they
had it right the first time.

George Z.

Make up your mind, you can't have it botheways. It's either "all of the people
didn't believe him" or "the more than half of
the country that didn't vote for his election in 2000."

They wish to marry persons of the same sex. That is not possible.


Of course it is, it happens in other places right now.

The end result to all of this is that any governmental perks given to
"traditional married couples" will be dismantled and I have to agree with it as
a logical progression of the current situation.

TMC's get certain perks, such as tax breaks and survivor benefits, based on
thousands-of-years-old religious ideas - the next step is to alter the idea
into a modern partnership, open to all and with matching benefits to all. What
it won't be any longer is a *marriage* in the traditional sense. The evolution
of this will continue, as next, single people will decide they don't want
married folks to get additional benefits that they themselves do not earn. No
amount of constitutional one-liner alterations will control this natural
progression and in the end, a hundred years or so down the road, our great
grandkids are going to wonder what was so special about the quaint old notion
of "marriage".

I believe that you have confused what is possible with what may be
desirable. While you may believe that gay marriage is not desirable. It is
undeniably possible.

A parallel can be drawn between a state of war and gay marriage as war may
not be desirable, in this world it is most eminently and quite apparently
possible.

Try to remember this differentiation between that which is desirable and
that which is possible.

Marriage definitions vary even among religionsl, and certainly among
cultures. A libertarian view might be that the proper role of
government is to register civil contracts, and leave the definition of
marriage to churches that perform it.

From personal experience, I wish it was as hard to get married as it is
to get divorced.
