rehmwa 2 #51 May 10, 2012 QuoteQuote I think government has no place in marriage period. They should all be civil unions. Note to self: Write in "Bolas" on ballot this fall. write it in often - That means EVERY time you vote this year for president - not just the first 4 times ...

rehmwa 2 #52 May 10, 2012 QuoteQuoteIf Romney takes a stand either way . . . Oh, I think he was pretty quick to come out and say that he still opposes gay marriage and civil unions, and that he won't ever change his mind on that issue. OK - so Obama says (this week) he's for it, but he won't do anything about it. And Mitt is still opposed. So what really happened to improve the state of equality???? (except for voting for Bolas which would make things equal). Nothing - it's just shallow, impotent, PR. ...

lawrocket 3 #54 May 10, 2012 Quote"We've arrived at a point where the president of the United States is going to lead a war on traditional marriage." Rush Limbaugh, 5/10/2012. None of his THREE ex-wives had any comment. Indeed. Mr. Limbaugh has done quite enough to destroy the sanctity of marriage. As have heterosexuals in general. And again, Limbaugh uses that stupid ass "war on marriage" terminology. So easy to describe people merely seeking the opportunity to do what others do as a "war" on marriage. Limbaugh's a dick. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #55 May 10, 2012 QuoteOK - so Obama says (this week) he's for it, but he won't do anything about it. And Mitt is still opposed. So what really happened to improve the state of equality???? Nothing immediately happened, and maybe nothing will happen. But I think it's a historical moment when we have the President and Vice President stating that they support same-sex marriage. To me, it's a sign of progress. I mean, less than ten years ago, we still had a number of states that had active laws against same-sex couples even having sex with each other.

rushmc 23 #56 May 10, 2012 why all the excitement He just fliped (or flopped) again Nothing has changed Nothing will change No proposal offered Just made him some money and got Mattews leg all tingley again QuoteObama in 1996: “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." QuoteObama in 2004: My religious faith dictates marriage is between a man and a woman, gay marriage is not a civil right. QuoteObama in 2008: I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman. As a Christian it's also a sacred union. QuoteObama in 2008: I support civil unions. QuoteObama in 2010: My feelings about this are constantly evolving. I struggle with this.

propacker 0 #73 May 11, 2012 sorry but: Definition of Research - In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge. The key word being 'facts'. Would I base a research paper about rabbits by only reading 'Peter Cottentail'. you can't use some kind of religious website as a guide for forming your own beliefs without also using an opposing website to actually stimulate logical thought and reasoning. but there I go - equating religions thought with logic and reason. ah for the days of the Spainish Inquisition.
