Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

You are really obsessed with this ****, NP! Why weren't you as obsessed with Newt shagging the hired help while his wives were going through terrible times? Does the Bible say that its better to **** around on your dying wife than to marry a person of the same sex? If so, where does it say that?

Are we dealing with the Bible or your interpretation and obsession of SSM?

Way to try and get off topic my left wing friend.............You are getting killed in the poll so you have to do something.. I love it
 
Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

In fact, there are more than just Arizona. Many of the states that felt the need to put it into their constitutions have passed, true. But that is just over half (I believe)

33 states and counting with New Jersey and Wa. on the ballot in November................


Math wasn't you best subject in school huh.

Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

Actually every state with the exception of Arizona voted to define marriage as a union betwen a man and a woman and the only trason arizona did not pass is because the vote there was to prohibit Civil Unions to...........

When SCOTUS throws out Prop 8, every state will have to fall in line.

Marriage equality is coming.
 
Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

I assume that by "favoring traditional marriage" what you really mean is "banning gay people from getting married".

If that is correct, then yes, obviously that is bigotry... Duh.

33/50=.66 that's 66%. That isn't too far from half.

And do you want to know my math abilities? In 7th grade I took Algebra I which was three years ahead of when the curriculum required it. I started taking highschool level maths in the 6th grade. I was so far ahead of my classmates that my teacher gave me entirely different work from the rest and asked me to help her teach many concepts which I had mastered years prior. In some cases, I was more mathematically gifted than my teachers. As a junior in highschool, I took Calculus for a college credit. That is a class that was once a senior college course. Not only did I get an A in the class, but I also received the highest possible grade on the exam. I never did my homework and I slept 2-4 times a week in the class. I have not one scrap of notes from the class and didn't even have my textbook half the year. Going into my senior year, I will be taking (all on college level for college credit) a calculus based physics and statistics. As a freshman in college, I will have 2 science credits, 2 math credits, 3 history credits, and 1 english credit. That basically means (if you cant figure up the big numbers of how many classes I'd take per semester) I will be entering college as a sophmore. My IQ is a mere 10 points shy of genius and my GPA is 4.5 (without even beginning to try). Want to question my intelligence anymore or have I completely baffled your brain yet?

Not necessarily. I favor traditional marriage. I have no problem with homosexuality and am a large supporter of Same Sex Marriage.

The word bigotry has never been associated with 'opinions'. Beliefs, maybe.

You claim that is Merriam-Webster definition, but that doesn't seem to be accurate... Merriam-Webster's site says:

Definition of 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

Bigot - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

The trick on the right where you guys try to find definitions of bigot that don't include actual bigotry is just weird...

Well judging by the hundred of thousands that patronized Chil Fil on Wednesday and the 30 that protested yesterday it will take a thousand years for them to change the way you want.

Lucky thing civil rights aren't up for a vote, huh?

Not even a comparision plus its a ridiculous statement...

Oh you guys want the Newspeak definition of "bigot". Control the language, and you control how people think.

Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

Gays really need to stop the vicious attacks on heterosexuals that dont agree with same sex marriage...it isnt doing you any good...this chikafil thing has gotten alot of peoples attention...at the Vfw yesterday they were talking about it...guys that were indiffernt to it said they are getting really pissed at constant ramming down your throat by gays...if your not careful your going to turn whatever momentum youve gained against you by being overbearing and obnoxious...now i know gays HATE to hear any criticism of anything they do or want...but hey im already the Villianous poster boy of the gay movement.
 
Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop

Personally I think the slurs "bigot" and "homophobe" are used by a few to slander those they disagree with. If a man or woman believes in traditional marriage, that it ought not be disturbed or manipulated, then I don't see how that person is somehow bad, or worse, evil. Personally I'm not sure where I stand anymore on this issue. While it's true that America isn't a nation that is run by the Church, there are also traditions like marriage that, if truly sacred, shouldn't be distorted. If marriage is between one man and one woman, then it should be that way, imo. A wise man once suggested to me that if you believe in something, you shouldn't cave in and change your mind for the sake of what's "popular," as if "popularity" really means much.

Now, I wouldn't mind honestly discussing this issue meaningfully, from personal experience and opinion. I don't think calling people names will ever be a positive in debate, so it'd probably be wise to refrain from doing so.

Poor homophobes gonna have their views of hatred challenged. Nope, can't have that. The right to defend one's ego is enshrined in the Constitution, right next to its only other two rights--the right to own any gun you want, and the right of states to do anything to the poor and minorities that they want.
 
Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop


Are you a fan of hasty generalizations? It is difficult to take people seriously when they lump an entire group of people in a single category.

Is it possible that maybe most of the people who make "viscous attacks" against same sex marriage oppoenents are not actually gay?

Maybe most gay people don't make such "vicious attacks". Maybe only a small minority of them do. Maybe you are judging an entire group of people based on the actions of just a few.

Just a few "maybes" for you to consider when you make posts like the one above.

That's exactly what he's talking about. You can't debate the actual issues, so you resort to childish personal attacks. This is exactly why progress is taking longer than it should. If you have to resort to petty attacks, then simply shut up, and let those who can make reasoned, and well thought out arguments do the talking.

WOW nobody intelligent thinks tht the results of this poll is reflective to who believes in equal rights LMAO
ANother post where you make your self look silly.

MANY posters here including myself voted no because a person simply saying they favor traditional marriage doenst make a person a bigot but they clearly support equal rights. LOL Only the most uneducated posters would think this poll means the people that voted no are all in favor of discrimination and against equal rights.

im in favor of equal gay rights but that doesnt mean if a person says they favor traditional marriage they are a bigot. They issues are separate no matter how you try, and fail, to connect them.

I agree with this. Nothing hinders debate and discussion as much as petty attacks, negative behaviors, insinuations, etc.

Dude. You missed my point, which was dripping in sarcasm. If we're more concerned with some people's egos than we are with oppression of an entire group of people, then we have our priorities seriously mismatched. Free speech belongs to both sides, you know.
