Chris Christie set to veto gay marriage bill

Your really not worth responding to.

Why so? Your delusion of grandeur prevents you from facing reality because if you were to face it, you'd discover that so many "facts" you've held as truth would come crashing down?
 
I can't answer you because it can't happen.

Well, Navy, I feel deeply sorry if one of your family members turns out to be gay. See, people like you are why gay people feel so much pressure and anxiety coming out to their family members. They are terrified of being cast aside because of the stigmas that their family members hold onto about homosexuality. What disturbs me the most is that you refuse to even entertain the notion hypothetically to give me an answer as to how you'd react.

I saw "For the Bible Told Me So," a documentary about extremely homophobic parents who disown their children when they come out of the closet. It's pretty messed up. I simply can't imagine disowning a family member for something like that.

I saw that documentary too. It's immensely disturbing stuff.

There's honestly nothing that my son could do that would make me want to disown him. Even if he murdered someone later in his life, I'd still love him no matter what.

easy to say, but if you actually had to live through such a thing, I suspect your feelings would change.
 
"Whoever you hate will end up in your family. You don't like gays? You're gonna have a gay son. You don't like Puerto Ricans? Your daughter's gonna come home with Livin' La Vida Loca!"

-Chris Rock.

Oh, so true. My grandparents were some pretty hard core racists and that's precisely what happened to them.

Chris Rock,one of the biggest racists in this country. a heell of a reference........Why don't you jusr referenc Farrakhan another of your racist leaders.

I could start saying things about your family but I just don't want to sink to your level. I have told you about my family which was a mistake. I know that now.
 
You ever watch his show? Nuff about him, its not worth the time.

Would you care to list any quotes of his that would show him to be racist?
 
Moderator's Warning:
OK guys, you need to tone it down, and now. The discussion is not about other people's families, who is worth responding to, or any of that crap. Play nice, or you won't be allowed to play in this thread at all.
 
Pa., Ohio, Indiana, Montana, SD, ND, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Idaho,(I could go on and on) are not in the South

I will just say every Red state and a lot of blue ones not in the NE.

So, you're saying that those states have just as much of a problem with interracial relations as states in the South? Thank you for furthering my point that just because some people in some places may find certain relationships disturbing or wrong, does not mean that those in such relationships should not be allowed to legally marry when the two involved would otherwise be able to marry if not for a race or sex issue.

I'm not saying it wouldn't affect me. I'm saying that I love my son no matter what, and I stand by that. You can suspect all you want, but you really know nothing about me.

Say what you want about my family, Navy. I don't know you personally and you don't know me, so nothing you can say would affect me. I was simply asking you for an answer to a hypothetical scenario. You refused to give one because you feel it isn't even possible. I find that a little odd.
 
I disagree with this, one should not govern by polls, but by thier convictions. People for example overwhelmingly support a national ccw right, should a non pro 2nd president sign a bill allowing it? Would anyone fault him for vetoing it?

no. one should govern for his what his constituents want.

Your claim of unwavering love in the face of any hypothetical situation that you have not actually had to experience really falls into the same vein as what he is doing.
 
Why do you insist on calling people names who disagree with you. Why can't other people have a difference of opinion. I take back my apology to you. You lefties call us the intolerant one when in fact you are the intolerant ones..........

Calling Christie a bigot isn't name calling.

"bigot: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

If the label fits....

It's not really the same vein at all. I'm talking about my love for my son. I know myself enough to make the statement that I will love him no matter what. I am only attempting to speak for myself, which I can do. I asked Navy how he would react if hypothetically one of his relatives came out of the closet and he refuses to believe that is even a possibility. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of hypothetical. Navy claims to be able to speak for other people in his family, which isn't the same.

I believe I was talking about gays flaunting their sexuality not men and women of different races married............Have no problem with that never did.

What's "flaunting"? *sarcasm* How dare those two men kiss each other in public like men and women do all the time! They are just flaunting the fact they can get away with being gay!*/sarcasm*

I think anyone that loves their children would feel the same way if they love their children. Since I don't believe for a minute that gays are born that way you as a parent have to make sure you don't raise your children in and environment where that might happen.
