I've only encountered them on Galveston Beach. I'd thought tarballs were just some crazy legend before that.

It was quite some time ago, however. Maybe they're gone now.

Clarification needed. Are you using "pet" as a noun or a verb in this sentence? Because that sentence makes a hell of a lot of sense, unless I read it the way Josh did.



EDIT: did I just call him Josh?

That's true, but IMO misses the larger issue.

No. NO! I wish I had a rolled up newspaper or something. YOU ARE NOT NOTICING SOMETHING NOVEL OTHERS HAVE NOT. THIS IS NOT A THING THAT ACTUALLY EVER OCCURS.

...wut?


I seriously can't make any logical sense out of this analogy. Is it an analogy? ****...whatever. Anyway, the statement itself really doesn't work, You could maybe have said something more like...i dunno...um....hm....I actually don't know, but I'm sure you could have come up with something better for an analogy...

(5 minutes pass wherein I forgot to click "post")

Oh, I know, "I simultaneously support the illegality of child abuse *and* oppose the public flogging of those who commit the aforementioned crime". It's a bit silly, but at least it's closer in relation to supporting gay marriage but not supporting providing the same gov't benefits and straight marriage. I mean, really, yours is a bit of an exaggeration. So's mine, but at least mine makes sense.

For the record as a Bible-thumping Christian (see "fundy moron"Smiley: wink):

My problem with these laws is not pertaining to gay marriages per se. My problem is the government regulating spirituality. Marriage can be seen in two ways: legislatively and spiritually. Legislatively involves the paperwork, taxes, property, visitations, etc and spiritually involves the LOVE. That's LOVE and LOVE alone with a capital L-O-V-E. There are many religions and lifestyles and the way that our society is heading spiritually every person or little group of people are practically becoming a "religion" unto themselves. The point is that, in my view, this government has ZERO right to dictate the definition of a spiritual marriage. I don't believe that the government is in any place to discriminate between the people to whom it provides services such as issuing marriage contracts for tax/property/visitation/et al. It's the United States government and is not the Vatican, not the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, and (despite what many people claim) not the Sanhedrin. What is our government supposed to be? It is a public service paid for by the public and operating at the whim and will of the public. They should probably recognize that people are NOT going to stop being gay and stop discriminating against people based on the fact that America used to consider itself a Christian nation.

The government is not a religious organization and they should stop pretending to be. If a couple is married then who has any right to say otherwise. I myself can say "They are not married under God's eyes as I personally see it as a Christian"... sure thing. That is my right to say that but my compassion for people is not based on their religion or their sexual preference. We all have to live on the same planet for the time being and there is no reason to believe that suddenly people are going to start changing. Now if they want to start forcing Christian churches to marry gay couples in their churches.. that's another story. There are plenty of Wiccan priests and Unitarian churches around to perform the ceremonies. Why/how is this any different than a marriage in a mosque or a synagogue? The government recognizes those marriages, no problem. They will have a marriage between a Buddhist and a Jew in a courthouse, no problem. It is total hypocrisy for politicians to try claiming the moral high ground under the facade of being a "Christian government" when it comes to same-sex couples simply because it's an easy target (so colorful Smiley: grin) when they have no trouble legally recognizing any other non-Christian marriages.

I have one question:

If God hates gays so much. Why does he keep making them? Can't he just like make it so there is no such thing as gay if he doesn't like it?

I think the better question is if gay is unnatural then why do so many animals do it?

Until they make a LGBT Prince(ss) I doubt that seriously. I'm still on the fence on whether they are really letting Jews into the parks or if they're paid actors.

It's not a prince or a princess, but the shopkeeper in Frozen was gay. He says, "hello, family!" and waves toward the sauna, and this is the next scene:

I always thought the Cuban kids got preferential citizenship for escaping the Communists in Cuba.

I don't know why this is even making as much news as it is. It's going to be appealed either way, so it's not going to actually affect anything until we see a Supreme Court case, frankly.

Previous cases made news because they opened a window for people to get married in. This case didn't since the judge explicitly stayed the ruling pending appeal so you don't have that aspect. However, there's a strong judicial wave moving in favor of SSM rights and I suppose another win in Texas is noteworthy if only as part of the whole.

As part of the whole, and specifically because it is in Texas. It ain't Mississippi but it's damn close.
