Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Yet not protesting these things in the legal channels boils down to passively supporting them. Which I cannot do. Look, I support the abolishment of marriage as a government institution entirely and think we need to go 100% civil union legally, I've said that before. But pretentious pricks like you who believe that your faith extends beyond your life and into everybody else's lives and their politics annoy the piss out of me.

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Well, you were the one bragging about "whipping" the blue states. God I feel stupid arguing about this but... The blue states would have half the troops. Most of the money. And probably the support of the entire world; except, maybe...POLAND! I FORGOT POLAND! Hard to believe. You know, since the blue states have Washington DC and Detroit to boost their whole "useless thug" numbers. All this shows is that the Dems have not retired "secession" from their playbook. The Democrats: We destroyed the country once. We'll do it again. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Choose not to take them seriously all you want, and watch the state's economy go through the roof as more gays move there. I'm actually considering a move to the state in the next year or so, which should increase the Dow by at least 15 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually considering a move to the state in the next year or so, which should increase the Dow by at least 15 points. Feel free to move there. That was my suggestion from the get-go. Move where gay marriage is legal --- since with that one thing legal, all of the problems in your life will cease to be. Personally, I prefer states where the legislature is given the power to pass laws, not judges. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Does the public deserve the right to withhold rights from a minority? That's really stretching. There is no "right" to marriage, since it requires somebody else to approve of it. I can speak freely all I wish. I can't get married without somebody else agreeing. The states have every right to determine what is a recognized marriage. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Hard to believe. You know, since the blue states have Washington DC and Detroit to boost their whole "useless thug" numbers. I don't really understand what you're getting at here. What is hard to believe? 53% of Iraq casualties from red states, 47% from blue states. Given that, you can no longer say "we know who supplies all the troops." And who are the "useless thugs"? And I love how you generalize about the whole Democratic Party (wanting secession) based on a few people who are either: a)joking OR b)extremists I don't base all of my opinions on conservatives on the words or actions of Timothy McVeigh and the militias.

Lawrence O'Donnell isn't in the same ballpark as an extremist amongst Dems. Hate to break it to you. The South is where the military bases are. The South is the area where kids are raised to believe military service is a proud and noble thing. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if that condition doesn't exist in blue states, then how come 47% of Iraqi casualties come from them? They hate the military but join anyway?

It didn't really fit with the direction of Mike and I's conversation so I thought it was directed at me--I thought you were implying that I thought that about the military. I simply misunderstood. I come from a family with a military background and have several relatives in Iraq, so I was a little touchy about feeling that my respect for the military was being questioned.
