I know exactly what I'm saying...don't need any lessons from you!!

While you may know what you are talking about,apparently a lot of people here don't what you are talking about.
It's like trying to speak to a group of people who only speak Mandarin when all you speak is Spanish.
Instead of trying to get everyone to speak your language,maybe it would be easier just to learn everyone else's?

I speak English..sorry if you cannot understand it!!
 
Distrust of the State sounds rational to me, but it's not an either/or. Why would we trust religious folk, Christian or otherwise, to do a better job?
Because the other options seem to enjoy the sewer.
 
Its nice to see the poll results

I myself move up my guess i used to think about 10 years

41% think 5 years or less
24% think 5-10 years
15% think 10-15 years

thats awesome

so basically 80% think it will happen in 15 or less years
65% in less than 10 years

IMO it cant happen fast enough, just establish equal rights already and lets move on, something so simply shouldnt be such a task in 2013
 
Of course..if you abuse a gay person..beat them up..e.g. because they are gay..you will go to prison..

Cardinal, have you ever been to school?

That's not going to jail for "being" anything. That's going to jail for assault.

This is the misconception of gay marriage advocates like J... They think they're bestowing equal rights with gay marriage... What they are bestowing with gay marriage is socialism. A good definition of socialism is: everybody has exactly the same, it's provided by the gov't, and the quality is, at best, mediocre.

Fairness means socialism to people like J..and BO.. and the Holder and...

Verthaine, what language are you speakin'?

It's impossible to attempt a logical discussion with ideologues. It's silly on my part.

this argument fails every time you try to bring it to the table.
It has zero to do with socialism LMAO

the only thing I am actually for is equal RIGHTS which has nothing to do with socialism as you describe it/

and yes i agree with you 100%
none of the honest, objective and educated posters here can have an honest discussion with you because of your broken logic ideologues, it is silly for you to have them.

Let us know when you are ready to embrace facts logic and reality based reason and have a discussion on equal rights for gays and marriage equality. Also before that look up the word socialism because you just proved you dont know what it means.
 
So says the ideologue.
Ideology has nothing to do with logic, J. Fact is, it's the opposite of logic.

You keep saying gays deserve marriage because a group of ideological supreme court justices in Maryland decreed gays deserve marriage. And, of course, you also believe.

That's rather confusing cause and effect, wouldn't you say?
 
I've read previous posts of yours on this thread.. What do you mean, exactly, Cardinal?
 
It will follow the same timetable inter-racial marriage did. It was legal in most of the country for quite a while and then the south followed along about 50 years after everybody else. As is usually the case.

You said "gays deserve marriage because a group of ideological supreme court justices in Maryland decreed gays deserve marriage" whereas in fact the justices decreed they deserve marriage because gays want (and deserve) marriage.
 
I think the word you used, "want" is quite telling.
I want a million dollars. Give it to me, I deserve it. Wait, what am I saying, BO and his cronies are already levelling the field. That's called socialism.

And, yes, I agree, ideolgical Maryland judges did decree gays deserve marriage.

How about giving all those poor students who can't get an A on their schoolwork the right of an A?
Think of the repercussions. Not being allowed into the finest colleges. Heck, some students unable to get into college at all. Some students living 'hand to mouth' because they couldn't get an A.

Somehow, I missed both the right of getting an A on schoolwork and gay marriage in the Constitution. This is why the Maryland judges are, IMO, ideological.

WTH is socialist about people getting married?

Is everyone else being handed a million dollars except you based on your race, religion, gender or sexual preference? If the answer to that is yes then I would make the case that there is legitimate discrimination and you could push for you being treated equally. If no, then your analogy is invalid.

Where is the gay marriage clause in the Maryland state or US Constitution? Hum?
I'm guessing the Maryland ideologues used at least one of those documents when it decreed gay marriage...

If the Defense of marriage act gets overturned by the Supremes (pretty darn likely) there will be married gay couples in every state, even if they have to go to another state to get married.

Where does it say in either the Maryland or US Constitution that gay marriage is a right? I'm guessing the Maryland ideologues (judges) used at least one of those documents...

Now, if you're talkin' about politics, which I firmly believe this is, ideologues can find many 'precedents'.

There isn't gay marriage in every state. It's not even close to a majority. Which means, there will be/are mass migrations to the gay marriage states to get gay married.

That has nothing to do with your claim of socialism

Your using this to try and make a point and your taking a guess?

sheeesh talk about lame.
 
Still haven't found the gay marriage section in either the Maryland or US Constitutions?

The political leanings of Maryland judges isn't really my concern. Couldn't care less why they did it.
My state already has SSM,and as a caterer,I make a lot of money off weddings,including SSM.
I plan to take full financial advantage of their decisions.
That's what a capitalist does.

What is my concern is that as a caterer,somewhere in the Washington DC-Baltimore corridor has become is a good place to expand my business.I am currently looking into real estate in that area,which means I will be bringing jobs to that area.

That doesn't sound like socialism to me.
That sounds like good old fashioned American capitalism to me.
