    Well you have every right to beleive that and I accept the fact the you and I cannot see eye to eye on this topic. But as I've said before, I'm just giving my opinion. Your welcome to disagree with it.

    So you just don't think gay marriage is right? You don't mind if they get married?

    A *****, if you say something is one way, but let it go another way then you're feet aren't walking the same way you talk.

    That is what I've been saying all this time. But like I have said before, your free to interpret this anyway you wish.

    If you're just going to state that you believe in something, but take no course of action then do you really believe in what you're saying?

    Yes, I do. And with that this "enlightening" argument is over. Thanks for atleast listening to my point of view.

    This pretty much sums it up for me. Don't really have much else to say in the matter.

    YouTube - Philip Spooner - www.EqualityMaine.org

    In case you have trouble understanding what this older gentleman has to say, the most important part is this:
    "The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and ******* people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"

    Yes, unless you're going somewhere with what you're saying keep it to yourself. Do you really not understand how insulting your opinion is?

    Furthermore, your opinion isn't some precious gem. You're free to present it but it doesn't have any intrinsic worth. If what you're saying is insulting or ignorant don't be surprised by the backlash. And don't expect "Just my opinion!" to be an appropriate defense when someone calls you out on what you've just freely admitted.

    Allocating homosexuals into some kind of undesirable "other" is reprehensible even if you do it using nice words and a unassuming tone.

    If he believes homosexuality is a sin, but also believes that the church's influence should extend no further than the church, then there really isn't any moral conflict going on there.

    Personally i think there are far greater issues present than worrying over gay rights.

    But afterall, gay people are people, and as people they are entitled to all the liberties everyone else gets to enjoy. Therefore, if some dude wants to take it from the same dude for the rest of his life, let him do it. A lot of AIDS and hepatitis cases are born from gay sexual experiences so if there's two dudes married then the risks of spreading those diseases are reduced.

    And besides that, no dude here can deny that a hot ******* couple is just... yay =D.


    Oh and as far as Obama saying that he was going to give gays their rights, he has no clue what he's talking about. Gay marriage is a state issue, not a federal issue. States have to ratify it individually. But that's a whole debate within itself.

    Gay couples can't produce offspring, but they can however adopt children... unfortunately. Why would I say this no you ask? well because these children would likely be raised to be gay and most likely be made fun of in school because of their parents leading them to have a abnormal social life. Thats the way kids are theres no stopping it. Back on track now If society becomes gay majority how will the human race as a species survive if the magority is unwilling to reproduce? I'm trying not to bring my personal oppinion into this so please don't say that I'm a gay hater because of my comments or anything like that I'm not going to give away my position on that matter.

    Why would a child be brought up gay? It isn't a choice. It is how you are born. That's like saying, "they'll raise him to have blue eyes when he actually has brown eyes" And they wouldn't be made fun of. There are plenty of gay kids at my school, and I'm good friends with a few... they aren't discriminated against. You might as well make sure every kid has the same religion, political views, clothes, gender, eye color, hair color and personality... that way there's no chance of uniqueness and discrimination.

    And, not that it would probably happen, but if the majority or so of the population was gay, it is still possible to carry on civilization, using artificial insemination. Though I don't see that ever happening.

    Let's apply this idea to racism back during the separate but equal laws: Black children should not be allowed to go to white schools. I don't have anything against black children, but they would be made fun of in a white school, and that isn't something I want happening. We should have separate schools for blacks and whites. How great would the world be if everybody was under that mindset? It's pretty terrible, but that is what you are essentially saying.
    You can't fix a problem (homophobia) by avoiding it.
    Yes. Because that's definitely the way it works. Once gays are allowed to marry everybody will become gay!!1!11 **** evolution! I don't know why or how, but they will!!1!!

    Homosexuality is a choice I don't give a damn what any homosexual says or any straight person says I've known homosexuals that have changed its a choice. My point wasn't to say lets make everyone alike I was simply saying It could cause problems for the children they adopt there would be some understanding kids that would be their friends but alot of kids would label them as outcasts. I aslo never suggested segregation.

    You know you're argument is pretty bad when it all boils down to,"Think of the children."

    And since you seem to be trying to use it as an argument. Many children will use whatever they can to mock someone. It doesn't matter if it's the color of their skin or the color of their hair or their sexuality. This will never change.

    Yes so why give them another option? Apparently you are one of the many that reads onee part of something and bases an entire post to a segment of someone elses post because that was one of my arguments against it. Why don't you go read my all my posts and all of it not just partially then you can come back and comment.
