Slavery Reparations in congress

[mrsmaalox]

What I don't understand is why people cannot have discussions without pulling the "stupid" or "re ed" cards.

Because they're stupid or re ed??

[BacktoBasics]

curse words and giant blue font is always a great way to prove one's lame point.



and yet you still don't get it.

you are ignorant and an idiot.

Do you even ing realize that you're calling me an idiot and ignorant when I agreed with you on page 1?

Do you realize that?

Jesus Christ Blake. You're criticizing me for something I already agree with you on.

When will you understand that? When?

[JoeChalupa]

I think it'll be great for everyone

[cherylsteele]

you don't seem to get it.

They want more rights than what currently exist for every person equally.

They do??

[Dr. Gonzo]

How, exactly, is this different or better than the current structure in which everyone is forced to accept and accommodate the heterosexual lifestyle? Why is alienating half of the population okay in one direction, but not the other?

Because the hetero lifestyle is right.

[JoeChalupa]

Because they're stupid or re ed??

[Blake]

Oh, I understand it. I think we all understand the point he's trying to make.

That doesn't make it any less asinine, though.

No......I'm thinking the point is not coming across all that clearly.....

the fact that gay rights talk came into this thread at all is asinine.

[BacktoBasics]

Because they're stupid or re ed??

Perhaps when things like this stop being typed. Or when people stop arguing over points that are already agreed upon.

a gay man can marry a woman the same as I can.

he wants the extra right to marry another man. Extra meaning that he wants +1 on top of what he and I both already have.

I'm sorry you don't understand basic math.

You are an idiot.

[CuckingFunt]

Because the hetero lifestyle is right.

Ooooh, okay. Now I get it.

[Blake]

Here is a perfect example of normal thought process vs. total stupidity.

I must have read Blakes post 20 times. I can't fathom a mind that thinks I'm an idiot because I fail to see the math in man and man = +1. Its possibly the most absurd statement ever read here (sans angel luv posts).

He believes what he wrote.

you had to read it 20 times and you still don't get it?

you are an idiot.

[peewee's lovechild]

a gay man can marry a woman the same as I can.

Your idiocy knows no bounds.

You're just embarrasing yourself at this point.

A gay person, man or woman, obviously has no interest in marrying someone of their opposite sex. Currently, let me get up to speed on current events, gay people can not legally get married.

You're trying to make an absurd point, if you can even call it that. But, the only thing that comes through is your brilliant stupidity.

[BacktoBasics]

No......I'm thinking the point is not coming across all that clearly.....

the fact that gay rights talk came into this thread at all is asinine.

You don't have a point. You spent three pages fighting over a statement that was immediately addressed on the first page for being too broad.

Then you stated that gays want additional rights that straights don't have. Then provided no such laws they were requesting (because none exist) and put out some half assed math to support your ludicrous and bigoted view.

[cherylsteele]

sexuals want to the right to marry other gay men/women.

That's all I got for now. It seems to me they enjoy all the same rights that I enjoy.

If they recieved the right to marry the same sex, you would have that right too. Nobody would ask if if you are actually gay or staright when you get married.

[mrsmaalox]

Might be time to check the battery on your sarcasm detector.

Ah I see. When you do it, it's sarcasm? Riiiiiiight

[DoubtingThomas]

Many people still have their doubts.

[Blake]

I am all for civil unions for gays.

I am even all for them being able to go down to their local Holy Temple of the Flatulent Anus and having their "marriage" sanctified by like minded individuals that share their spiritual and moral beliefs.

I do NOT believe in the STATE sanctifying same sex marriage and making it a "right".

That AUTOMATICALLY forces 100% of the population to accept and accommodate their view or be in direct violation of the law.

Yes, a same sex couple COULD walk into the First Baptist Church, of Conservative, Texas and FORCE the Minister of said church to perform a same sex marriage or be subject to Civil Litigation and Criminal prosecution.

I see this side of it too.

Thing is, there are a lot of rights/laws we might not like, but we agree with because their rights outway my inconveniences.....for lack of a better word.

If it were up to Baptists, alcohol and tobacco would be prohibited. Too bad.......they have to live with it.

[BacktoBasics]

you had to read it 20 times and you still don't get it?

you are an idiot.

What do I not get?

You think a human being choosing who he/she wants to be with is fine unless its same sex then you think its a +1 law. That makes no sense. To anyone.

or are you going to say

"you're comparing slavery to gay rights"

Even though I already agreed with you prior to your multiple page rant.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Many people still have their doubts.

They are possessed by demons that make them fabulous.

[CosmicCowboy]

Seriously...I'm not a phobe and I'm not deeply religious but I recognize that those sentiments exist.

I'm trying to offer a reasonable compromise.

Civil Unions give gays same and equal legal rights as a classic heterosexual marriage without having to address the competing religious and moral beliefs.

If the gay movement would quit trying for the whole marriage banana and accept the compromise of civil unions we could probably get something done.

[I Love Me Some Me]

So if/when same-sex marriages are legalized, can I marry any dude I want, or do I have to be having sex with him?

[JoeChalupa]

"I'm right and you are stupid"

"No, you are just an idiot!"

"No, 'm right and you are stupid"

"No, you are still just an idiot!"

[Blake]

Look Blake compounded that statement and ran with it. I on the very first ing page addressed that it wasn't an apples to apples comparison but it was discrimination in principle. He just didn't want to read that part because it ruined his 3 page unfounded rant against me.

FOR THE RECORD IT WAS TOO BROAD OF A GENERALIZATION EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL ROOTED IN BIGOTRY.

no, you made it pretty clear that Blacks were treated as a tenth of a human back then just like sexuals are treated like a tenth of a human today.

[Dr. Gonzo]

So if/when same-sex marriages are legalized, can I marry any dude I want, or do I have to be having sex with him?

Anal is a requirement. You must be a bottom at least twice a month.

[Blake]

Your idiocy knows no bounds.

true or false: a gay man can marry a woman if he wants to.

[BacktoBasics]

I would like to know who agrees with Blake's statement below.

Who think that gay people are asking for additional laws vs. equal treatment because never in my life have I seen a gay person suggest anything other than equality.

a gay man can marry a woman the same as I can.

he wants the extra right to marry another man. Extra meaning that he wants +1 on top of what he and I both already have.

I'm sorry you don't understand basic math.

You are an idiot.

Don't be shy just go ahead and admit you agree with him.
