MA has the lowest divorce rate and is the only state that allows gay marriage.

Well, Suze I don't know if you know this but gays are also corrupting the worlds of math and statistics, so that can't be trusted

Hello!!!! We're at war & our soldiers are dying every single day in a foreign country. We have too many people homeless. So many people work their asses off full time and still are living in poverty. Murderers go to jail for 5 years, but people in possession of pot can go for 20 or 30.

All of these issues need to be addressed & fixed, yet our president, in his infinite wisdom ( ), wants to stop all the big bad scary homos from marrying eachother? THAT'S his priority right now?

WTF?!?! I mean, really. What. The. F uck.

If same sex marriages were the norm- if we all were married to the same sex- our hereditary line would vanish. We could not develop offspring. We as human beings would vanish. Those that favor gay marriage are only looking at the human rights issue. I am pointing out the evolutuonary isse.

I have presented my opinions on this issue before, and received a ton of critcism, as would be expected I'll receive it again.

There are alot of great people in here, gay and srtaight. My intention is not to create anger, but to present an opposing view.
biologically speaking, homosexuality is not the norm. however, the role of our government (at least as it has established in the past) is not to promote and endorse norms, it is to promote and endorse equality, and as long as marriage is an institution bestowed upon heterosexual people only, the government is not doing its job.

nobody can refute your argument that if everyone were gay, our heredity line would vanish. that's obvious. but as others have pointed out, people were procreating long before the institution of marriage ever came into existence, and people are procreating now outside of marriage.

the importance of marriage is in the rights and benefits that come with marriage, and by denying gay people these rights, our lawmakers are essentially making bigotry policy.

I am looking for that involves Bush is his exit from the White House...Gay marriage doesnt frighten me, Nor does illegal immigrants, However the ignorance that is Bush does frighten me (Is it me, Or does each time he is shown on TV he has to quickly put on that 'fake smile because I know I am full of ****' that only he does so well???)

Oh, I saw some mentions of the divorce rate in this thread...Wanna guess which state has the highest divorce rate along with the highest teen pregnancy rate? I'll give ya a hint-A state that has not elected a Democrat for President since JFK.

Nope, not just you. I feel nauseous every time I see him speak. Seriously. He turns my stomach.

shack up with their "best friend" from college. And when they do that, sperm and eggs will cease to exist (somehow), thus rendering the entire population unable to reproduce!!! No more children, ever! That will be pretty dire, as there are only 6 billion people on the planet. What will we do? And where did all the sperm and eggs go?
You know, I'm suprised we even have any people here at all, since there have been gay people from the dawn of time. How did we all get here, do you think? Xenu? Magical animation of molded clay figures? It's pretty mysterious. I should probably rethink this whole "equal rights for all people" thing. I wouldn't want my beliefs to contribute the cessation of our entire species. That would suck.



Just figured I'd laugh at my own post since that guy has me on ignore. No reason to be subtle now!

Except if you think of it in the context that they'll do anything to grab power and money. So ask, "How can this get them power and/or money?" and you'll probably have the answer. Or how do they think it will.

Not only that - but think of the million or so dollars wasted on this tripe that they KNOW will not pass - all in an attempt to cover W's pathetic record and entice the base to vote in the upcoming elections. I mean I get that the base pretty much will never vote for a D, but if they do not vote at all, then the D's stand a better shot of winning because the R's will lose needed votes.
