They can't do something that destabilizes and undermines their country, which this might be the case.

Tell everyone exactly how..

Not your emotional BS.. but logically ..

How homosexuality destabilizes a country

How homosexuality undermines a country .. << Whatever the F that means :laugh:

Is this a Christchinn Country.. Pardner?

Was them Christians killing all the Native Americans

Was them Christians who was murderin them black peoples

Go get em ...

Traditionally? Yes. There is less expectation of a brotherly relationship between step-siblings. This is why step siblings who are close tend to refer to each other as simply 'brother' or 'sister'.

Edit - it is also the reason that generations of disgruntled step-children have said things like 'You are not my mother' to their step-mother.


Hmm, it seems like what you're saying is that step relationships have always been different from typical intra-familial relationships and that the nomenclature reflects this difference and is acceptable. Yet using a similar nomenclature to differentiate between same sex unions and marriages is not acceptable? I don't get what you mean in that last sentence. Are you trying to say that it is the "step" prefix which causes yougsters to lash out? My point is that the "step" designation is not derogatory (at least not necessarily), merely descriptive. A similar designation for same sex unions would be in every way appropriate as far as i can tell.

I don't particularly care since to me, marriage is strictly a financial/legal matter like any business deal.
But anyone who feels slighted because gays can make the same deal and call it by the same name is a freaking moron and shouldn't procreate to begin with.
Not that I see what the big deal is with calling gay marriage a partnership or whatever either for that matter, a rose by any other name...

Ha, maybe for you marriage is just a 'deal', but not for most married couples... and gays want marriage just because they are jealous of healthy institution of two heterosexual people...the marriage was never created with them in mind.

Healthy institution? An institution with a failure rate of more than 50%?!!? How can you call that healthy and successful?

I guess the feminization of Amerca is failing to feminize our troops. Kick them all out of the military.

So, why not give it to them?
Again, I think this whole big argument about one single word is silly, after all, a word is just a reference to something real, the word in itself has no value, the thing that the word represents IS the value, and you can't take that away from anyone.
But anyone who feels slighted because same-sex-marriage/partnership/whatever you wanna call it is called "marriage" instead of something else is simply too stupid/whiny/sensitive to be suitable for procreation anyway.

It's ironic that America likes to claim a heritage with ancient Greece, the first Westerners to do many things right. Well, these Greeks were also known for their homosexuality. In fact, there was an entire brigade of homosexuals known as the Sacred Band that were known for their fighting skills. These men fought well because they knew they and their lovers' lives were on the line.

Banning gay marriage is a way of segregating gays from the "normal" population. Its irrelevant whether they are afforded the same benefits through civil union just like it was irrelevant that the black bathrooms could "theoretically" be the same as the white bathrooms.

Let's see . . . Pace likened homosexuality to adultery, so the "immorality" is in not being married . . .which isn't legal in most states.

Gee, maybe the OP's hero meant to say fornication . . . which would mean no military at all.

The OP and Jeditroll have some odd ideas about bravery.

Stupid homophobic bigots.

Go back to bible camp where there aren't any ****** or fags to bother you, pigs.

How exactly does this thread belong in politics and news? At best, this belongs in Off-Topic.

I'm going to enjoy watching all the bigots die off from old age.

You need to go back to school kiddo. Its obvious from this one simple sentence that you dont understand evolution at all. It is still "just a theory" anyway, right? :roll:

Most bigots are morons, that is generally the only way they are able to come to their asinine conclusions or swallow the BS some "authority figure" taught them in their upbringing.




corrected your spelling/grammar though ;)

I'm in school, and I've learned about evolution... how gay [immoral] couples can evolve when they can't have kids (that is for now, till crazy gay scientists find the way).

Have you ever considered that word "biggot" doesn't bother them (or us per your claim).. they are just enjoying their opinions and right to have them

Also, it seems that all homosexuals are here, now I know their count on here :sun: ...politics have to be some kind of fagpool.

We have many good, contributing members who happen to be gay. Who they are is not your business, but you may not continue to post such verbal abuse on our forums. Please enjoy some other forums for a month.
