oldwomanc6 52 #301 March 25, 2013 QuoteQuoteOk, I've said this over and over, but here it goes, again: Our system allows for voting for what we believe is the right thing to do. Most people ( Of those who vote, anyway) vote for what they believe is the right thing (however they determine what that is). Then I'll say this over and over again as well: 'because I can' is not a valid explanation for why you would vote to deny someone else the right to do something which does not affect you in any way. For what it's worth, I haven't even stated any opinion on gay marriage.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyraM45 0 #302 March 25, 2013 Quotethe rationale behind?? marriage being defined by one man and one woman?? simply that I have the right to my conservative views just like someone has the right to their liberal ones. All because you have a right to that view, does not give you the right to impose that on others..... which is what republicans try to do. They think only people within their view should have the right to marry. They used to think that about blacks marrying whites too. Oh, how times have changed and will change. What side of history will you be on? I know if I were against blacks marrying whites back in the day, I would be sure as shit embarrassed to admit I was on that particular side of history. ETA: I shouldn't say republicans. I guess I should have said social conservatives, which FWIW, tend to be republican, but it's not all republicans I guess.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar)....

Well, hopefully any "deviant behavior" between consenting adults will be. Perhaps if we're lucky humans will evolve into having both male and female organs then they can screw themselves. No longer would anyone one say: go fuck yourself as that would be a given. Only then, we'd get more chatter perhaps including: who ya talking to buddie!With the amount of pharm in our drinking water and as fish develop both male and female organs, it's only a matter of time.

GeorgiaDon 362 #307 March 25, 2013 QuoteLet's just turn this dog and pony show into a dog a pony show, with people doing what ever in the hell they want...As long as they are not causing harm to others, why should people not be able to do whatever they want? Quotewithout any recourse about who they might offend or even amuseBeing offended is not being hurt. You also have no constitutional right to never be offended, or amused for that matter. Some people are offended at the notion that all life on Earth evolved from a common ancestor, instead of being specially created within the last 6,000 years, or pulled out of a clam shell by a raven, or whatever creation myth you subscribe to. Should I have to avoid teaching about evolution because some people may be offended? If we were all forbidden to do anything that might be offensive to somebody, what would be left that we could do? Anyway, why do you care so much what other people think? QuoteWe are trending towards a liberal society where as someone on here put it: "The nuclear family is over." Whatever that is suppose to mean in an attempt that what was the norm, is now not the norm.People said that about allowing women to vote, about allowing non-white-males to vote, and on and on. The nuclear family will always be the predominant arrangement, as most people are straight and I'd wager that most people find multiple partner relationships become complicated in emotionally hurtful ways. Still, other arrangements between consenting adults are possible, and as long as they work for the people involved I see no good reason to tell them that they have to abide by a one-size-fits-all model.
