It's vile, it's perverted, it's sick, and these militant, bigot, fags demonizing anyone and everyone who DARES voice a differing opinion has got to end.

The prior Miss USA ordeal will no doubt shed much light on the BIGOTRY of the homos and their supporters.
Well, I can't say that I like thinking about other people's sex acts at all, not just homosexuals but my parents, grandparents, my obese neighbors, etc. I also don't like brussell sprouts, but I don't deem those who do as sick. And I also don't think its any of my business. I also don't consider homosexuality as sick, vile, or perverted. I couldn't say that all homosexuals and those who support same-sex marriage aren't bigots, but I would say that most attempt NOT to be hypocritical and try to be good people, just like anyone else.

I think demonizing homosexuals is just as wrong as demonizing anyone.
Well, then I appreciate your calm, sensible reply, but we'll have to leave it at we agree to disagree, because I DO find homosexuality vile, disgusting, perverted and sick, and I'm in line with the majority of people.

It's not my intention to demonize homosexuality either, although I'll hold nothing back when describing it. Since sucking each others cocks and ramming them up each others butt holes is what they do, then that's what I'll say. I'm a little shocked you don't find that perverted... unless of course you have homosexual tendencies yourself... just guessing not accusing.

God makes it perfectly clear what he thinks about homos and their perverted actions, so it's not up to me to judge or demonize. God said their blood shall be upon them and they will surely die. I'll leave it at that.

But the homos and their supporters HAVE been waging ALL OUT WAR against ANYONE who DARE speak out against them with a differing opinion, and NOTHING has DEMONSTRATED THAT BETTER than this last offensive against the former Miss USA. Their BIGOTRY will be on stark display for all to see as Miss USA goes forward with her law suit. It's going to be a bad time for homos and their war against normal people.

What you have failed to do here, is acknowledge the crux of the story. Acceptance is a very difficult issue when the belief system of people are being challenged to the point of extinction. Opinions are largely benign until it's met with unreasonable challenges of the moral integrity of that individual. Core values are part of the quality of life we are afforded especially something as fundamental as marriage. Something most of us are raised with and respect and have embraced as the core structure of traditional family life. While it's certainly not perfect, especially in this increasing secular society where everything goes, it still represents a foundation of structure which essentially demonstrates the values of the moral majority of this country.
I understand your point but this is my take on it: Christians, Muslims, etc., and traditionalists don't like the idea of marriage being something other than between a man and a woman. They don't want to accept that. However, they don't have to. All they have to do is get married to one person of the opposite gender. Two people of the same gender marrying has no direct effect on them. You can hold on to the traditional family as the core structure of your values and homosexual can marry and neither has to exclude the other.

Says who? Who gets to corner the market on the definition of marriage? Christians? Muslims? Traditionalists? Why do they get to define marriage? What gives them the right? Because they are the majority? That is mob rule.

And not allowing same-sex marriages is discrimination by the government. If heterosexual can marry eachother, why can't homosexuals? It doesn't guarantee happiness but it does guarantee the right to pursue it. That's why its a right and why its an issue. Another reason why its discrimination is because there are homosexuals and hetersexual Americans whose religious beliefs are that they should be allowed to marry whom they love and not being allowed to do that is the imposition of one group's religious beliefs onto another's life. That violates the Freedom of Religion.

Well, let's find out. I'm sure there's nothing that Americans can't do!


Quote: Originally Posted by sidneyworld View Post

To create this entity in a child's life is completely compromising the rights of that child to be conceived and raised by a mother and a father. We do not own our children. By that's another story altogether. A huge story.
Well, since it happens anyway with straight parents, and homosexuals adopt or have children now, why not address this issue straight (no pun intended) on.

Quote: Originally Posted by sidneyworld View Post

It requires a license which, among other things requires that marriage is between a man and a woman. This issue concerns circumventing the definition of marriage. It's not an issue of the prevention of an individual from joining an institution who is simply NOT qualified to do so.
What group gets to define the criteria for marriage? The majority? Once again that is mob rule.

Quote: Originally Posted by sidneyworld View Post

So, you agree, being with whomever we please and raising a family is a human right. Is there any law which states that you can't marry whom you, as a heterosexual, please (as long as it harms no human being)?

Quote: Originally Posted by sidneyworld View Post

And this is not exclusive to homosexual couples with children. It's a phenomena in this country. The indiscrimate multiplicity of parents, having children through every imaginable dynamic. Children are conceived with complete disgard in this country. Married individuals having children outside the marriage. Teenagers packing together to bring children into this world. And a percentage of single parents raising their children which exceeds well over 50% in this country. There is no real political representation of children. Only when there is a marriage, and of course, that vow is as good as the total commitment by both parents too ensure that proper rightful representation.
Even when there isn't a marriage there is some legal representation for children.

Quote: Originally Posted by sidneyworld View Post

This issue isn't addressed well now. So, like I said, why not tackle it straight on.

And homosexuals marrying eachother won't change that. For those who believe in ensuring the integrity of a viable family structure on every level can still believe in it and practice it without being effected by same-sex marriage.

And to legislate that dysfunctional families can't have children is the same as legislating that homosexuals can't marry. Would you ever vote to support a law which bans man and woman married couples can't have children because they don't meet certain criteria?

I appreciate you civility. Its too bad not more of us who are all Americans can remain civil during our debates. Perhaps if politicians could, instead of wrangling over whose a marxist leftwingnut and whose a rightwing reactionary nazi, we could get something worthwhile accomplished in government?

Our Founding Fathers separated church from state, but they wisely did not separate God from state; they acknowledged God as the source of our rights, and, in fact, they were careful to place Biblical morality directly into our founding documents and laws, and into our values and culture precisely to help prevent a future of totalitarian or tyrannical rule in America.

Sounds like "Christian" to me.... Wow, it's even in the title of their faith: Judeo-Christian Did you even try reading the article? Guess not...

But in this country because you find someone's act or lifestyle in poor taste doesn't mean you get to discriminate against them.

That's okay with me since I hate "PC" as well and it IS what gay men do...

I don't find it perverted because I know many homosexuals and I think that they are just like everyone else except they suck eachothers' cocks, ram it up eachothers' buttholes, lick eachothers' muffs, etc. I like to do those same things, only with my girlfriend, so nope, I'm not homosexual, and I really dislike the idea of sucking cocks or hairy asses, so I don't have any tendencies to be one either.

Have you ever read Shaespeare? "Methinks you doth protest too much!" Not accusing...just guessing.

What about Freedom of Religion and those of us who don't believe in God or the same God you do?

I think this is an issue which will die out as not really being all the important, whether it was the homosexual community throwing a fit, or the conservative Right.

The Founding Fathers were deists, not Judeo-Christians, unless you speak of the environment in which they lived and not they're religious faith.

Judeo-Christian values is the name of the article Einstein. "Biblical morality" or more appropriately the Ten Commandments are pretty much common sense and can be translated to any number of religions. So show me the word "christian" in the Declaration or in any founder's documents and you have an argument. Otherwise you have no footing.

You're argument sounds like "I really don't like certain thaings! I wish they didn't exist!"
as opposed to A is true because of B, supported by C.

You're free to hate as much as you like, maybe you should care about homosexual sex quite as much. You're basically acting in the manner you accuse the 'gays' of acting.

Again, Colorado, marriage is not a civil or human right. It's a subscription with mandatory qualifications predicated on it's cannons, no different than the boyscouts, no different than a corporate charter, as a demonstration.

I am reminded here of an issue regarding woman's rights in this country and the compromise of safety protocols to allow women into the fire department. This was around 1975 I believe. The standard/minimum weight a firefighter must carry a person out of a building was 150lbs. It was lowered after NOW (National Association of Women) won argument of discrimination against women because of gender, and successfully had those safety protocols lowered. This was a critical compromise in the viability of the fire department's general standards as was originally mandated for the good of the common public.

What this demonstrates is the disproportion and defunct ideology of exercising one's liberty by challenging simple common sense when it critically affects the common public. In the case of Same Sex Marriages, on a legislative level, it compromises a segment of core values of those who embrace marriage and the sanctity of marriage being that between a man and a woman for the sake of another's belief that they are being singled out of such a privilege. But in fact, they are not. The dynamic this couple simply do not qualify such a union uner the auspices of marriage.

Colorado, I have a meeting I have to get to... I'll continue later. Thanks for the civility as well. I greatly appreciate that. We might not find ourselves in complete agreement, no doubt. But your diplomacy is well received.

Here's the difference: The boyscouts are a private organization. Corporations would violate Equal Opportunity. Marriage is a government status. The government should not discriminate.

It was lowered after NOW (National Association of Women) won argument of discrimination against women because of gender, and successfully had those safety protocols lowered. This was a critical compromise in the viability of the fire department's general standards as was originally mandated for the good of the common public.
Let me say that the "common sense" you refer to could also be said to have "physical evidence" supporting it.

How will government recognized same-sex marriages effect those who believe that marriage is between and man and woman? I believe that God doesn't exist and I don't go to Sunday Services. Does that effect your belief in God?

Same-sex couples aren't being singled out for a privelege, there are being granted the equality of sharing in that privelege.

As per your definition, not mine.

My pleasure. We'll argue more when you get back.

But in this country because you find someone's act or lifestyle in poor taste doesn't mean you get to discriminate against them.

Just because you bring the word discriminate into the debate with no prior discrimination present, it doesn't mean I or anyone else has discriminated against homos. You're spinning and using a buzz word to deflect. The issue at hand is the militant responses normal people get from homos and their supporters when they voice an opinion that's different from the homo agenda.

That's okay with me since I hate "PC" as well and it IS what gay men do...

I don't find it perverted because I know many homosexuals and I think that they are just like everyone else except they suck eachothers' cocks, ram it up eachothers' buttholes, lick eachothers' muffs, etc. I like to do those same things, only with my girlfriend, so nope, I'm not homosexual, and I really dislike the idea of sucking cocks or hairy asses, so I don't have any tendencies to be one either.

Have you ever read Shaespeare? "Methinks you doth protest too much!" Not accusing...just guessing.

You see no difference between you having anal sex with your wife, a female, instead of having it with another man? Are you being obtuse for lack of a better argument?

And no, I'm not the one that claimed I didn't think it was perverse, you were. So aping my comment won't get you very far. It sounds more like, "nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, naaaah, nah, I know you are but what am I," than anything else.

What about Freedom of Religion and those of us who don't believe in God or the same God you do?

Whatever. Believe what you want.

I think this is an issue which will die out as not really being all the important, whether it was the homosexual community throwing a fit, or the conservative Right.

Sure it will die out, but before it does it's going to leave a lasting impression in people's minds about the BIGOTRY of the homos and their supporters.

No, this is a country that favors equal rights and the majority be damned.
Equal rights for all is fine but I don't believe that is how it is in this country at this time. The minority is greatly favored at the expense of many other factors. Have to hire someone? Must meet your 'minority quota', even if it means hiring a less qualified person for the job. How's that make sense?
