the fundies are acting like their this powerful force to be reckoned with becuase they got bush elected but look at the DaVinci Code and any company that supports gay rights, they aren't hurting despite the fundie boycots. There was a huge concerted effort to get all the fundies to go see "over the hedge" on opening day…
I agree! And I wonder, how long can it last like this? All great fallen empires in the past fell under their own weight. Just keep coming up with more and more rules, increasingly complex beurocracies. You can only legislate so much until either A) you've become a dystopian ultra-surveilance society or B) there's a…
I agree wih you, in my opinion it's everybodys freedom to hurt or harm themselfes as long as they don't danger others. I think we have more liberal laws when it comes to drug consumption in europe. I don't agree when it comes to gay marriage though. A big part of he swiss marriage law was written with the children in mind.…
[ QUOTE ] Take any piece of paper around you, write "my friend xyz is allowed to visit me" sign it, give it to your friend and done. I can think of harder things to regulate. [/ QUOTE ] Things get a bit more complicated when your loved one is on life support, and it comes to the question of whether or not to take them off…
[ QUOTE ] You've got to be joking. It costs just as much for a strait couple to get divorced as it would cost for a gay couple. If that's a reason to ban gay marriage, then why not ban ALL marriage? [/ QUOTE ] Come on, haven't your read any of the above? The advantages straight couples have of a marriage are way bigger…
[ QUOTE ] Things get a bit more complicated when your loved one is on life support, and it comes to the question of whether or not to take them off it. Even if you've been a couple for decades, but you're not married, you have no say in the decision. That's just wrong. [/ QUOTE ] This reminds me of mentioning women who are…
[ QUOTE ] Well, they are still better arguments than the counter-argument that gay marriage "destroys the sanctiety of marriage". [/ QUOTE ] Do you want to turn another thread into a religious debate? As you would see if you would read what I wrote, my arguments were based on thought about the practical advantages of gay…
You see, the problem here is, most people are dumb as fuck. I think it's safe to say nearly everyone on this board could easily smoke weed, drink alcohol, and do plenty of other things without harming anyone else. It's the other group that the government has to worry about. It's about the dumbass crackheads who will kill…
I dont watch the news anymore because I cant stand to hear how far America has come from the principles that it was made on. The government was designed to protect the people from being killed and keep things civil. It was formed because people didnt want to get pushed around and told what to do and how to live their…
I personally think people should be allowed to make their own choices.Your body is your body and how you live your life should be up to you as long as it harms noone. Ive had the fortunate freedom of living in a country like Holland where lots of freedoms you cant find in the U.S are available. Going from Texas to…
