Marriage is a union between a man and a woman.Follow

dont get me wrong, im not pro gay at all. i personally think it is unnatural. natural selection alone has made sure it is only a very small percentage of any given population, adn pressure from society has ensured people, gay or not, will assiciate the practice with negative connotations. it is not how we are ment to live.

however......

i also see the wisdom our forefathers displayed when making a very concious decision to ensure people are free to choose how they want to live, and to SEPERATE religion from government.

look at every country torn apart by war both past and present. almost always it is because one group of like minded people tried to impose thier beliefs on every one else. they wanted to ensure THIS country did not fall apart at the seams by making the same mistakes as almost every other country has at one time or another.

i am not talking about religion spacifically. anytime anyone tries to impose its will on others, it splits this country, not unite it. it makes us weeker, not stronger. take roe vs wade. the decision falls in line with the intentions of our forefathers. you have the right to either have or not have an abortion. you do not havce the right to tell anyone else weather they can or cannot. you have FREEDOM to choose what you feel is right for you....and the part that makes this country stronger than others....no one else can dictate what is right for you. it is how so many people with so many differant beliefs can function as a whole and survive almost any turmoil.

it is why we are not in a CIVIL WAR.

gay marriage is the same thing. while i do not believe in it, forcing those that do to live by my standards is wrong. it is against everything this country stands for. it will divide us, weeken us, make us less whole.

for 5 years now, that is exactly what the conservative right has done to this country. weeken us. divide us. make us less whole, in an effort to create their own private little utopia. they are trying to do the very same thing that destroyed so many other countries in the past.

Freedom is the path this country was born on. Freedom to choose how you want to live your life. Freedom from persecution for not chanting the party line.

havent we strayed far enough from the path our forefathers set before us? the path that has taken us father than eny other country? tha path that has made us stronger than every other country?

Freedom forged our strength. the conservative right, reguardless of their intentions, is like a leach sucking our strength away a little at a time.

time to get back on the path people. dont have to like or agree with everyone, just have to acknoledge they have the right to live as they choose just as you do.

So are high heels, push-up bras and lipstick. So what?

Army, we do ships companies and since it's so fluid it doesn't really amount to anything like the same thing.

At my rank i will only ever spend 18-24 months on a unit before moving on.

Shadow, you really need to read some stories about Thailand dude.

I remember when "ain't" was added into the dictionary. Good times those were.

And on the 12th day, God created thongs for Eve, and it was good.

Ahhh, gotta love enhancing that natural beauty with a string up your ***.

How so? If, for instance, human's sole nature was to procreate, then yeah, I'd have to agree.

With medical techniques available now we don't NEED to procreate to survive. Since human physiology hasn't quite caught up with the psychology of it we'll still feel that burning need to sow our seeds.

You know that when mice breed in a contained area they turn to homosexuality to keep the population from further exploding right?

There is no "Survival of the Species" anymore. As soon as human beings could postulate on their own individual existance any semblence of species identification went out the window.

If we were so concerned about survival of the species don't you think there would be more of an outcry when 70 000 were wiped off the planet?

Keep trying Moe.

It's good to know that digging a hole and squatting is still normal.

;)

No need. I've already done plenty. You are the one who broadened the scope to the hundreds of thousands of years of civilization's evolution. By that measure, procreation is a valid point and is thus appropriately used by me FTW.

Anything else, n00b?

EDIT: I just discovered you're from Canaduh which invalidates most of what pops in to your little insignificant head. Thanks for playing, but I win by default.

You live in a country that let's ID be taught as science.
You live in a country where GM had to create picture books in Arkansas to train their workers because they are illiterate.
You live in a country that has a president that is mocked by every intelligent person on the planet but you elected him twice.

We just talk slow so you americans can feel smarter. Sadly you're usually too busy sucking down a quarter pounder to notice.

And you have Quebec. Thank you, come again.

Shhhh ... some of us aren't all to proud of that.
