He said he doesn't buy it anyway.

I also find it humorous someone who seemingly defends this country with his life based on his signature wants to stand in the way of freedom and the values this country was founded on. Interesting.

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.

It's almost hard to believe that post is even real but either way:

Ackmed did you choose to be straight? How can you possibly be as arrogant as to assume you know it's a choice for other people? If you don't like it and don't want to support it that's fine, that's your right, but don't believe for a minute you can know what it's like for other people.

Did you ever read the Jefferson Bible? It would probably piss you the fuck off if you actually understood what the writer of the Declaration of Independence thought about the Bible, and religion in general.

Duh, god likes musicals.

And what's with the angels? They're all androgenous.

I think we have to decide if that is worse than or better than being gay before we continue this argument.

Then God likes them conditionally? or what? The whole man knowing the mind of God thing is out my depth.

Ice cream isn't even about ice cream. It's about sunshine and butterflies, rainbows and anal, joy and sweetness, and love and happiness.

B&J have been supporting LGBT organizations for years. Which means some of the money you gave them went to people who "choose" to engage in sweaty gay hairy godless sex.

To help you avoid such a mistake in the future which leads to further acts of heretical degredation, a list has been compiled of companies for you to avoid.

Frankly, I don't know where you're going to eat, shop, bank, or do anything else if you don't want to financially support sodomites.

I did think of a solution though. Most Afghans have very similar ideas to you on the issue of homosexuality. Perhaps you can take up permanent residence while you're over there. Find a little lady. Have some heterosexual children. It can be a real nice life I hear.

Not to mention the primary architect of the Constitution (Madison) was a lapsed Episcopalian and some argue Deist, Adams was a Unitarian, Hamilton seemingly didn't care and rarely attended any church, Franklin was seemingly a friend to all religions, and the list goes on...

The social conservative fantasy that the founders were inspired by god/the bible to form a Christian nation is one of the great con jobs of our time based upon how many people seem to believe it in this country.

I sure hope Ackmed doesn't like putting gas in his car. He will be quite limited on choices.

BP, Chevron, and Shell are corporate partners.

This went P&N pretty fast!

People who are fighting against gay marriage will be on the losing side of history, as the people who fought against racial integration, interracial marriage, etc.

I think we should all join our forces of disgust and contempt and focus them on one class that I hope never gains acceptence: Obese people.

You and I will obviously never see eye to eye on this issue. I was raised the son of lesbians who were never allowed to marry before one of my mothers died. You want to keep all gay couples from being allowed to marry. That's an impasse. I used to wish that people like you would just die so you'd stop standing in the way of equality for all people. But that's shortsighted of me. I have no need for vengeance against your misguided bigotry, nor any need to see you die before equal rights become reality. I've refined my thinking in the matter.

May you live forever.

May you live to see gay marriage, polygamous marriage and bestial marriage codified in law. May you live to see transgendered people recognized as a separate gender on government forms. May you live to see your religion fade into oblivion as so many others before it have done and so many after it will do. The world will change, whether you like it or not; may you live to see every single fundamental belief you have ever held to be true be destroyed.

I don't have to dream. I certainly don't want to see bestiality legal. But in a hundred thousand years, if humans are still around, I have zero doubt that some civilization somewhere will have found a way to breed a specific species for sex. Hell, it may not even be a species that exists right now. But it'll happen. It happens on Star Trek... Sure, they may be sentient life forms, but it's still inter-species sex.

Do you honestly think that given an infinite time scale human beings will never make some form of interspecies marriage legal?

:laugh:


And in 100 billion years we could all have evolved into flying beings who can get themselves pregnant, but that is neither here nor there.

Bringing in beastiality and polygamy actually sets back the gay movement.

In fact, polygamy is supported by the same religious fundamentalists that hate gays the most (mormons, Muslims).

His point's still valid. It wasn't /that/ long ago blacks were considered a different(and inferior) species. When speaking in hypothetical terms, limiting yourself to only known variables isn't always helpful.

Yes, we are all just being closed minded. In another 50 years, the Bestiality Rights groups will start to gain traction. All we need to do is progress some more, and we will see that man-goat love is perfectly natural and not abusive to the animal. :laugh:

Not to mention, I did actually use the phrase "may you live forever." That implies an infinite length of time. I wasn't talking about the debate over gay marriage as much as I was making the point that given an infinite time scale every single thing that everyone of us believes will amount to nothing. Makes it seem kind of petty to be bickering about it all the time, doesn't it? But I guess we have to have some sense of purpose in life. Rather than making sure everybody is happy and content, let's just fight with each other. Because someone changed the name of an ice cream flavor.

Fucking a...
