I knew it was only a matter of time before atlantaski made my sig. Welcome to the hall. THis entry is particularly distinguished, because he also failed to make one decent point in his entire argument. Kudos!

gay marriages are perfectly fine if you're not affiliated with any orthodox religious sect. but a gay religious man is just hypocritical, because he contradicts his own beliefs. Other than that love is love and sex is sex. gay marriage is no big d.

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CALL OTHER PEOPLE IGNORATN FUCKS, just becauser someone has a belief that being gay is wrong and all you an say is shut the fuck up you ignorant bitch, than that its a bit hypocritical. People are allowed to have there fucking oppionon, and atleast he put out what he thought and WHY. most people just say Bush is an idiot and now hes tryin to change shit to make up for what he did. I don't find very much, some but very little that he has done wrong or badly in his term> He's not changing his ideas to get votes, he has stodd for this all along and it doesn't matter anyway. Thats beside the point. IT IS ILLEGAL BY COUNTY, STATE, AND FEDERAL LAW. Just because 2 gay judges decide its ok then well alright, america must be ok with it too then. Same as saying well I've murdered someone so i am going to allow this murderer to get off scott free. And america can't do anything about it, too bad its now deemed as acceptable. BULLSHIT

You are right, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. So why does everyone want to impose their beliefs on gays?

I need proof on that^^. And we are being imposed by Homosexuals. people always say that it is there business and that its not my place to worry about it. Well when they yell and throw gay pride protests, and riot, then its now my business, When a gay judge goes against federal law to decide thatsa its ok and everyone has to accept it, it now becomes my businnes to be concerned.

Same with the people who walk and talk like faggots and hit on me, teach my little siblings that its ok, and normal to be gay, almost like its the new hip life style to be gay. Sorry but then it becomes my place to tell em to shut the fuck up.

'but a gay religious man is just hypocritical' -jasmine

i dunno, when in the bible (specially if you look at original verisions of the bible) does it say you can't be gay? or that it's a sin?? and i dunno, it might actualy say that cuz im not religous at all and wouldnt know, but uh, i dont think it does.. and even if it did, people dont have to agree with everything the bible says to believe in it as a whole..

aside from that one thing i agreed with your point.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to bring in the old guys, but...

Millian and Berlinian ethics contradict you. The sole end that one can reasonably have to take away freedom is self-protection (protection of society). Society is entitled to interfere with people to prevent harm to others. The good of the individual is not enough.
There is a difference between harm and preference. For example, I might prefer that someone live in a certain way, maybe that they don't voice a certain opinion, but since they do not harm me, and have no responsibilities being contradicted by their actions, I cannot and should not impede them. This is the harm principle, and it is an institution to prevent what Mill calls ''The tyranny of the majority'', whereby government makes laws based on amoral issues, where the law restricts a freedom that did not cause harm to anyone. It is social tyranny, or the majority's influence regarding what is deemed ''proper'', that leads to this.

In other words, according to the greatest philosopher of political ethics ever, banning of Gay marriage is wrong. That is, unless someone can offer firm evidence that it is immoral. I'm still waiting for that. Anybody?

Oh, and I can't agree that it's wrong to preach tolerance, even if it is to relatives of yours. Let them make up their own minds. If gay people hit on you, and you take offense to it... I don't know, I really don't have anything to say on that one. I'd think it was a compliment, personally.

so far in almost any political debates the only persons oppionon that i respect is his^^^. He makes great points and actually has something smart to say, even if i don't agree. Most other people just say shit and act like they know when really they have no idea. And i still don't agree but once again you do make a great point, but immoral is different things to different people. It can mean little to nothing, or the world to someone. That is where our conflict lies. it comes down to that. Is where you draw the line. For some people is closer than others.

I love all the hypocricy as well. If two hot chicks are going at it, you all drool. But, oh, homosexuality is WRONG.

And 'religion says homosexuality is wrong...' Then why do so many of your priests want sex from young boys? Sure it isn't a huge number, but for being so 'holy', I'm shocked.

And last time I checked, there was SUPPOSED to be a seperation of church and state. I know it really doesn't exist that much. But whether or not religion finds homosexuality immoral should have no legal bearing on gay marriage. Because in an essence, marriage is a LEGAL CONTRACT.

personally i dont have a major problem with it, im not a supporter of either side really but i mean is it really that big of a deal if gay people get married? I know people out there are against homosexuality all togethor, and thats fine, but by not letting them get married your not really going to stop them from being gay, marrige is just mainly an abstract idea, i mean if they can get married what changes, they just get different legal benifits,
However the one thing i am slightly against is gay adoption. Im not basing this opinion on the bias that gay people would abuse the child, but imagine the hardship the kid would have to go through, like it or not the world is not a tolerant place and that kid (especially if it was a boy) would face endless torment in school. I dont think kids should have to deal with that for the sole purpose of equal rights

^dude you're crazy. Two chicks going at it is awesome.

I'm kinda curious where it says in the bible that homosexuality is wrong. The Episcopalian church has a gay bishop so it can't be that wrong.

Infantz16-uhh, who the hell are you to say whats right and wrong? Personally, I dont think i could be gay or lesbian(whatever) but its a right people should get to chose. Also, whoever said that let eme' get married, who cares if they cant reproduce, we dont need anymore children anyways(soemthing along those lines) i think that makes a lot of sense...And i have a question, how exactly do gay marriages affect 'straight' marriages? Does it make them feel insecure or something? I just dont see how.

for teh first time, i think i actually agree w/ the president on gay marriages...if a gay couple want to have a civil union, life partnership, or whatever they call it...fine, but no marriages. and i dont think gay couples should be allowed to adopt children either

word one time at halloween these life partners gave me and my friend all these gift things for free frostys to wendys..... but marriage is a sacred union between man and woman meant to bring each other closer to god, and you cant do that with 2 dudes.... but not all gay ppl are bad though.... only extreme ones that try to force all these 'rights' they deserve

'what does everyone think about george bush's ammendmant on gay marriages??'

Its not even his ammendment. He's just endorsed it. Typical....

Gay people need to come up with a different means of getting attention. Too much psuedo oppression. Its getting ridiculous.

the only reason homosexuals are pushing for gay marriage to be allowed is for the benefits it creates for them as a married couple. tax breaks and all sorts of other things. but the reason it won't pass hopefully ever is because nothing comes out of a gay marriage, like what can a gay couple do besides love eachother n have gay gay sex, they cannot create. they could adopt and ruin a childs life thats for sure which is one of the mere, i guess you could call it this, upsides. gays cannot pro-create and all they want is their benefits. Fuck them in a lighter phrase is what i say to gay marriage.

I have one big problem with bush wanting to ammend the constitution to specifically ban gay mariages (well actually i have a lot, but i'm only going to write one down). American society is based on a secular system. Bush wants to ban gay mariages (mariage being a legal issue, based on the legal rights people gain as a married couple) because of his religious beliefs. If this went through, you have to realize that Bush would not only be preventing gays from marrying by law, he would be undermining a major part of the constitution at the same time. After that, the separation of church and state would be a lot harder to define. If bush makes one ammendment to the constitution based on religous beliefs, what's to stop another from being made. by changing the constitution, it takes something that shouldn't even be a debateable issue, and transforms it into something that goes against what the american legal system was built on.

I am not defending Bush but I'm pretty sure he is not trying to ban gay marriage solely on his religious beliefs. a lot more plays into the whole scenario and you cannot fail to recognize that.

no i'm not a feminist, they bug me, i just don't see why they're arguing. but back on topic, how is it that much different? yes i realize blacks had zero rights, but they still had less rights as white people, just as gays have less rights than straight people. no matter how you look at it, blacks were discriminated against (to a MUCH greater and more sever extent) as are gays today. gays not being able to legally marry is discrimination. our societyis supposed to be tolerant and accepting, so why should gays be excluded from that?

gotta love nickskier....

anyways, as i said before, you cant even begin to compare african americans and gays. only reason you would do that is to give it more attention that it naturally brings to itself. then again like it needs anymore, lol. gay people have ALL of the same rights as straight, crooked, and curved people. they just cannot be issued a marriage licence. you dont need a marriage licence to be faithful to your lover, you dont need one in order to love your lover, and you definately dont need it to prove your love for your lover to others. only reason its being sought is because these people on to reap the same financial gains that a married couple can. its ridiculous. i have nothing against gays, but from a religious standpoint marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman and give that most of the USA is of christian upbringing you can only expect the outcome to be would it is. our society was built upon these same religious constructs so if its not like then they should go to canada or something.
