I don't know. I think the county has it right. Ban marriage altogether....permanently.

There's no need for such silliness.

I actually used to think springer was more of a scripted drama than anything else. as the days go by I realize how far off base I was with that thought.

my friend just linked me an article this morning talking about a 5 year old that got caught sprinkling weed on a classmates food at lunch.

we need help.

Now we know how that kid's mom got him to settle down at meal time.

Regarding the Oregon story, and others like it, things are getting awfully interesting ::rubs hands together::.

A 51st state of drunken hosers is still better than the midget Klu Klux Klan, dear Moe.

Talk to the hand!

Meh, I don't drink mass produced American beer either. I like beverages that don't taste like urine and actually produce an effect nearing inebriation. That, or wine.

The hand is hurt. She will never forget the pain of this moment.

Amazing stupidity by left wing nut cases, the elected officials in that county that made the decision to stop all marriage license issuance need to be jailed. You do not take the RIGHTs away from people NEVER! Isn't this what the case is about is some perception that ****** don't have the "RIGHT" to marry. If they never had the right to begin with why take it away from thosethat have had it? These county officials have stripped heterosexuals of their legal RIGHT to marry. I'd be in an uproar and seeking the removal of those county officials.

I just wish that people like these pro homosexuals would take this type of stand on more important issues like feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, dropping the price of oil, etc...

Oh yeah. They did.

Yanari - I'm certain you know that an effective way to make things change quickly is to engage in the guerilla tactics that the liberal elected officials in parts of this country are utilizing. The people in power will not change status quo - so long as the wheel isn't squeaking loudly. Well the gay marriage wheel is squeaking and demanding attention, so that is what the media is paying attention to. These outlaw elected and appointed officials are breaking the laws that they have sworn to protect, to give a very small percentage of people a right to marry. A more nobler cause would be to stop issuing license plates to an entire county until all the homeless are housed and the hungry is fed. But we also know that the issuing of license plates help pay the elected officals salary, so no standing for justice there. Plus owning a vehicle and driving is a privilige not a right, so this privilege could actually be taken away on a lessor obstruction of individuals freedoms. So just imagine what could be done at a local level if these same officials took a similiar stance to right what is a more serious wrong. This is just my opinion of course. I mean making sure homosexuals can marry is more important than making sure homeless and hungry people are taking care. - NOT

There are at least as many officials spending enormous amounts of energy doing their damnest to try to keep gay people from marrying.

Liberal Conspiracy
*******
TILT
I'm sure that, any day now, Bush will talk about a Constitutional Amendment supporting the feeding of the hungry and housing of the homeless. After all, it's at least as important an issue to him as preventing gay marriage, right?

These people are doing their damnest to protect something that does not need to be changed, if the liberals did not thwart the laws and will of the majority in the country then this would be a non issue to a lot of Americans. These elected and appointed officals making decisions contrary to the law is what is keeping this issue going not the people trying to uphold current law.

The only people trying to change it are those people who want discrimination made into law. The "minority" is simply making an attempt to make the law for all apply to all.

Reality is that this is a losing battle for the "majority". It is inevitable as the tide.

It is not discrimination, you are free to and have the right to marry anyone that you desire so long as it is a person of the opposite sex. What is happening is that the marriage laws need to be worded to state precisely what it means. Political Correctness has crossed a line where every thing needs to be defined down to a knats *** in detail and proper wording so that people who fit outside what is considered "normal" will understand they do not conform to what a vast majority of society accepts as normal and is willing to condone.

The law does apply to all that can be catagorized as a man and woman joining together to be considered as one in the eyes of the law.

By banning the marriage of the people that actually fit the legal description takes away the rights of those individuals and is wrong by its very enactment and speaks against what the liberals are arguing that marriage is a right. Any government body in the United States should never be allowed to arbitrarily revoke any citizens rights without due cause. Had a conservative county done this you would be in an uproar over this... oh wait a minute Rhea County in Tn just tried doing this and liberals jumped all over them for being bigots.

hmmmm makes one wondered doesn't it.

That is discrimination. Because you happen to condone the discrimination doesn't change the nature of it.
Quote:

There is no "vast majority" on either side of this issue. Many people (yes, heterosexuals too) recognize that gays getting married takes nothing away from them and to continue to deny them their equal right to marry is discriminatory and wrong.

You know full well this is not about political correctness. This is about constitutionalizing discrimination.

This is getting sillier and sillier. Last week, there was a news story about a county in Tennessee that wants to ban gays...not gay marriages...gays themselves. That itself was bad enough...i can't even begin to imagine what thought process these people have to think that discrimination like that is acceptable. That particular situation I think is much worse than this one. I mean wtf right does anyone have to ban someone from living in an area based on their sexual orientation.
Now its in a different area, talking about banning gay marriages...and then it went to banning all marriages. Both of these instances are so discriminatory it makes me wonder if things are ever going to improve in our country. Some people are so narrowminded that it makes me sick.
Shouldn't these people be focusing on something actually important and of some benefit....oh wait...that would require the politicians to actually work.

I can't understand why anybody gives a crap! If some guy wants to marry a guy more power to him, why should I care? In fact what right do I have to tell him otherwise?

Jeez...

PS Tare my favourite is Moosehead and Keith's. Can't beat em.
