50 to 48 = 2 missing

I didn't mean to come off as saying all people that are against gay marriage are homophobes, but it certainly sounded like SBF was indicating that he's not much for gays. I have three gay friends, and if you saw them in a crowd you wouldn't notice at all. It's not like they're different from us at all, we go to the same parties, same everything (except bed.) If they want to marry why not? I challenged someone to come with one viable reason why gay marriage should be outlawed, and haven't gotten one.

Consenting adults are quite different than animals who have no say.

No offense Brud, but this is the off topic forum. Meaning not about football.

A agree!! I have freinds that are gay and I don't have a problem with what they want to do behind closed doors!! As long as they don't try to through it in my face why should I care?? They should have the same rights as any American! :biggthump

Because I hear a lot of "Anybody But Bush", but I don't often hear why "anybody" would be the definitive better choice
I just thought it should be heard again!! :httr:[/QUOTE]
Anybody is the better choice because Bush is that bad in a lot of people's eyes.

I agree that God does say that Homosexual sex is a sin, but that is something that they will have to deal with on Judgement day.

As far as sins go what about "You shall not commit adultery." People in this country do that just about every day, and yet this sin undermines the traditional definiton of marriage. This sin is what causes many to become divorced. Yet our goverment has no laws regulating adultery.

doesn't bush win almost every popularity poll any media source puts out as to whether or not people would reelect bush or vote in a new president?


as for the gay marriage thing, I say too each their own. I'm fine with gay people as long as they don't try to hit on me or anyone in my group of family or friends. some of them r really kewl people, but personally I don't condone what they do but it's not my place to do so. The main problem I have with granting gay couples legal marriages is that it would allow more of them to more easily adopt children. I'm all for more children being adopted but that's not a fair position to be placing a child in my opinion. Some gay couples may turn out to be wonderful parents but thats just not fair to put the children, who have no choice in the matter, through the ridicule, and possible physical threats, because their parents aren't what the majority of society view as ethical or moral.

Your correct on that one, divorce, adultery, are all sin's, which are really not looked at other than normal in today's society, the ascending of the gay lifestyle, and it's acceptence, show's how far as a people we have departed from God, and just another sign that we are at the very end, but everyone will have to answer to god for themselves, for all sin's, not just homosexuality.

How about benefit's, and health care provision's in the work place? Especially now that gay's will be recognized as a family

you have as much right to be religious and quote the bible as folks have the right to love whoever they wish in spite of it. Church and State people, America is great because there is a distinction. if you don't want a distinction and want to run the country based on one Holy Book, then you may want to check the parallels between you and the Taliban. :twocents:

and its more fair that that they pay taxes to support your health care, but not their own?

unless you mean the health care the business provides, in which case it doesn't affect you.

You think gay marriage will make a mockery of the institution of marriage? Take a look at the nearly 50% divorce rate then tell me that.

The fact that a clown like Kerry could even be considered for president, just show's how low we have sunk as a nation. :eek:


If Kerry is clown.......then what is Bush considered? A genius? Come on now.....

First of all how many of us could miss 6 months plus and not get docked a penny. If Kerry and Edwards are not going to do their job in the senate (or anyone else) then they need to find someone who can. They are paid to do a job so they should do it. I dont think Bush is missing much while campaigning. Not a slap in the face saying he does not do anything, but I believe he can do some of his work on the road.

As far a gay marriage man I really dont care. Part says no but most of me says why not. As far a adopting kids and sending the wrong message I dont think so. I dont think they are going to raise them to be gay. They cant do any worse than some people such as drug addicts or alcohloics. How often do they get their kids taken away. Not often enough. Kids need to be in a happy and loving home. If it is with gay parents then great. I would much rather live with gay parents then being beaten, neglected or whatever. I am always getting stuff from church groups saying to protect the marriage between a man and a women. In which I delete of course. It is too bad that they cant stop most marriages in which will not work between a man and a women in where they have kids and they kids are put in the middle of the divorce.
