Sorry bigot, "freedom of marriage" is not specified anywhere in the constitution/bill of rights.

How do you know what the "principles" of this country refer to if you can't even make that distinction?

Pretty harsh words from someone who confuses fascism and communism ;^)

I like it, if only because it will make a small handful of nutjobs rage. It amuses me to see people get so worked up over simple things like the name of an ice cream flavor.

Some even yell at the "weed smoking hippies" while they down a 12 pack of brew.

I figured that Unilever would have made them tone down their hippie ways.... but then this IS the same company that had all of those sexy AXE commercials produced.

Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

They're not. Ben & Jerry's has always catered to the neo-hippy crowd.

of course, this is true.

Karmel Sutra is way better than this, Chubby Hubby is good but not outstanding. Americone Dream is good, but it's a poor copy of Dryers Coney Island Waffle Cone Crunch. I dunno if they still make it, has/had ther same ingredients, but much better taste.

Well, hippies need to be yelled at. Otherwise there'd be bong resin and various oils on everything.

Then some politician will order french fries and he will be stoned in the streets and we'll all forget about the ice cream thing.

What was it again?

you have to understand...most business majors think making money means you just have to show up to work.

Ever heard of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? All men are created equal? Freest country in the world? Or is there an asterix next to all of those things that says "only if you're a white hetero christian male." :roll:

I'm glad the last of your breed is going the way of the dinosaur, perhaps the children of the future wont have to deal with such ignorant relics.

Also you're fucking retarded..."pinko Nazi" ? Seriously?

Again, equality doesn't equate to gay marriage. Marriage was never defined as a right, merely a religious institution the law, because it is based in Hebrew-Christian ideology, inspired by Roman Political principals (namely, the Republic). If anything, marriage is a separate issue altogether, unrelated to the goals the founding fathers wrote in the Dec/Constitution.

Secondly, I don't think anyone who believes in the preservation of society is going to vote for this--civil unions maybe, I don't have a problem with that, but marriage is something that is reserved. Teh gays feel they have to change it up, just because "they can." Where are the limits? Too many people find they can push the limits, and then don't want to see where it goes:

As in Here--FoxNews
Extra Link in case you think it's teh conspiracy

Remember Roe vs. Wade? How that woman wanted to push the rights for women, to liberate them and to make aborting babies an option for everyone?

She thinks differently Now

You people claim too much in the name of "liberty" but when your stance is fully examined, you have no real substance at all--the three qualities of the United States adhere specifically to propety, something middle class people in say, France were not allowed at the time.

Property owning and respect thereof was a rarity in government, (although enlightenment philosophers as early as the 17th century such as Jean Bodin wrote books such as the Six Books of the Republic advocated for such acknowledging) which is why it was included in the Deceleration that all men had a right to own property and pursue their individual interests. It does not, however, refer to the Law recognizing that gays should be married.

You can argue all sorts of things in favor of gay marriage, most of them are bullocks anyway, but you cannot argue that it is penned in the Constitution or the Deceleration of Independence that gays should be allowed to "marry."

Nazi Pinko--makes perfect sense if you hadn't been hypnotized by your government teacher. Examine the facts.

Communism as it became-- nationalization of industries, agriculture, police state, emphasis on nationalism, 60 million people executed alone by Stalin
Nazi/Fascist Germany--nationalization of industries, agriculture, police state, NATIONALIST, 6 million people killed by Hitler's Nazi

The ideologies were different, but the execution of that ideology lead to exactly the same thing--total government control, police state, and mass murder.

Now, let's examine Pinko'ism or Socialism, a lighter shade of red. Even in countries such as the UK, where free trade is permitted to exist albeit on a much reduced scale, heatlhcare is subsidized completely. Britons make a big deal about it, except for this little tidbit:
eh?
but surely they are very free, the government protects their rights...right?
No dice
But what about their privacy, surely that's intact (excepting the above instance where the police used facebook to pre-determine whether guy was staging a rave)??

Not really

Even in Britain, a nation that prides itself on being "free," the government is focused on "equality" not Liberty, the state is out to protect citizens from themselves, and now it is evolving into a police state.

Any nation that emphasizes equality over Liberty will lose both equality and whatever liberty it ever had.

What about all the other religions we allow to marry in the US? Should the US only recognize Christian marriages? Oh shit...there's that pesky 1st Amendment again. The concept of marriage (or binding monogamous relationships even among same sex partners) long predates the Romans.

Something like 50% of straight marriages now end in divorce. You might want to step down off that high horse before you hurt yourself.

Straw man.

I think I can actually hear Madison throwing up in the afterlife.

Fascism and Communism are diametrically opposed to each other. I don't know how you can represent otherwise beyond comparing the methodologies of two successful and infamous dictators (all of whom have similar modes of operation). The Nazi ideology most certainly did not include the nationalization of industry beyond the Nazis confiscating it in foreign countries and Hitler handing it over to the Ruher industrialists who long supported him.

Any nation that emphasizes equality over Liberty will lose both equality and whatever liberty it ever had.

Ah, the old allowing gays to marry will result in the downfall of socially liberal western societies. Well gays have been getting married for a while now and I don't see any such consequences on the horizon.

Someone's been reading their Faulkner because that huge wall of text can be summed up by a lot of sound and fury symbolizing nothing.

Good luck with the slippery slope arguments though.

Gay marriage will happen in this country whether you like it or not and like all things with America, we'll be the last to the table with freedoms but first to cry out and praise ourselves for it.

Loving v. Virginia, US Supreme Court, 1967
"Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival"

Oops.

The only real question is whether in 40 years when everyone who wishes to marry the person they love may do so, you are going to lie to your grandkids and tell them you always supported gay marriage, or if you'll tell them the truth and say you were a member of the last generation before acceptance of same sex marriage and you fought equality tooth and nail. Make em' proud.

Okay, well, they can support any cause they want. It may not be smart business, but there's no law requiring it. They've lost at least one customer already.

He said he doesn't buy it anyway.

First, I said "not that I ever really did". Meaning, I rarely did.

Also, I dont support gay marriage, or gays in general.

Yes I defended my country in one war, and about to go out to another war (afghan). And yes this Country was founded on freedoms and values. Know what else it was founded on? The Bible, and God. Which are clearly against gays. I believe in the Bible, and God. You dont, thats fine. Its not so hard to understand. Choose (yes its a choice) to be gay? Swell, dont expect me to support you in any way.

Actually, from most of what I have read that is complete bullshit. People just use that as a a reason to discriminate.

Holy crap, you think people like this don't really exist and are just paper tigers The Onion conjured from their comedic imagination for fodder. I shouldn't be surprised, but still. Wow.
