MLD Woody Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 "you emotionally vent" ... he said while emotionally venting So what's wrong with the govt calling EVERYTHING civil unions and then independent groups adding their own (ultimately meaningless) distinctions that they have control over but mean nothing under law?

Don’t cheer yet, Cal and OBF haha. The legally binding part should be a civil union even with straight people. If two adults of any kind want to be financially obligated to each other then carry on. Actually, everybody should know that I've got no problem with it in the first place. I've been divorced twice. So I really have no right to comment on the morality of anyone else's marital status. But... I don't know where this thread turned into a gay marriage thread from a legal prostitution thread; the two really aren't the same. . But back to the subject at hand the libertarian in me can't reconcile making personal choices illegal I do think that it makes society cheaper and uglier. With the age of consent being 16 in many states, how many of you guys would think it was a positive step if your 16 year old daughter could suck the neighbors dick for an iPad? Would you be proud that you made a wise business decision? Would it bum you out? Why? WSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a victory for those who believe in humanism and where our society is headed. I hate seeing it because we are gradually drifting away from Judeo Christian principles that have anchored our country from the beginning and served us well. According to the last poll I saw Cal Americans support gay marriage with 63 percent in support. Public opinion has shifted recently on gay marriage and as recently as less than 10 years ago we had democrats like Obama and HIllary Clinton supporting traditional marriage and not in favor of gay marriage. Of course once these two saw the winds shifting they changed their views swiftly. A "brave new world" is coming. I have always respected optimists like you Cal who are optimistic about the future of the country but realistically I can't share that optimism and I am just enjoying the temporary reprieve we have with Trump.

It is not going to last. One of those principles was the justification that had us look at black folk as 1/6th a human. So you'll forgive me for not shedding tears over certain things this country was built upon. That doesn't mean I despise my country. Quite the contrary, I admit the darker parts of the U.S. history and am happy at the progress we've shown to not only ourselves, but the world as a whole. I would consider that a beacon for humanity to be quite honest. We still have work that can be done, but what country doesn't? Trump is no "temporary" reprieve. He is an uncouth man who, much like those whom occupy the congressional halls, should be replaced. Also, I think much like abortion, there isn't much "support" for gay marriage. Especially from someone like myself. I don't "support" the couples whom have decided on a personal level and I think that's the point you've misplaced. I support the institution that should be accessible for all our of citizens regardless of affiliation. I think Neo-Nazi's are in the wrong, but they're allowed to get married and I support the law allowing as such. I don't personally "support" abortion. I find it abhorrent. I'm also fortunate enough in my life experiences to not be so black and white in my decision making due to the varied paths I've seen. I have a friend who sought an abortion. She didn't tell any of us. Years later she confided in how it affected her life and the details as you or I would see them as "pro" and "con' were rather intertwined into a whole story when you could see the regret mesh with acceptance of choice and, for lack of a better word - consequence. I didn't necessarily like what I heard, but I realize I can't imagine being in her shoes and would hate to face her circumstances of choice. So I tend to leave to the individual what they best feel is right for themselves. This is the synopsis with gay marriage. It isn't destroying the fabric of our country. Want a bigger problem that is which you yourself can make a difference on? Start with addiction and some of these substances being manufactured that destroy entire communities. I've seen it with my own eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBrownsFan Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 The second paragraph in the Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal. Those principles espoused by the founders were also the ones that eventually did away with slavery. Trump has been a reprieve on many issues and many fronts. He has made our country a good ally to Israel again. He has been strong in supporting religious rights and liberties. He has built our armed forces back up again. He has been the most pro life president since Roe. I am old enough to remember a prominent lie used when abortion was first legalized...it is just a blob of tissue. We know better today yet instead of restricting abortion even further many on the left want unfettered abortion on demand up until time of birth and even some advocating beyond that like the democrat governor of Virginia. "Christians aren't looking for the perfect leader, we already have one in Jesus. Christians also hate lies, deceit, corruption, selfishness, theft, abominations against Christ — well, pretty much all the wicked goings-on in Washington, D.C., by members of both parties, by humans of all backgrounds and beliefs." The fact is this country has been a beacon of light to other nations around the world where so many others around the world want to immigrate to. There is no perfect country in the world yet some in our own country can only find faults and not recognize all the good we have done.

Look I'm not about to unpack the cliche' that is your post. - Funding to Israel, especially military funding, which is our greatest outstretched hand to them, has increased every year and did so under Obama. You, much like most of the Christian GOP, believe we need to do this not as using them to liaison peace with the rest of the middle east. But so America acts as God's righteous man in the End War. Jesus will come back smiling when the bombs start to drop, that's about it? - I can't go further on about the armed forces bit. The military budget hasn't shrunk one iota. - It's just that easy - say "The left" the abstract yet somehow completely monolithic hive mind and that's all it takes. We get it, humans need limits. I support that as well. - Christians hate lies, deceit, corruption blah blah blah blah. Then plant your two feet and start voting for those whom do not wash themselves in filth or fraternize with it. "The meek shall inherit the Earth". There is nothing of the sort in the POTUS. I know you don't give two shits whether I take your words seriously or not, but a humble life suggestion from somebody probably less than half of your age - if you want your words and stances to be taken with more than a grain of salt by anyone with a modicum of intelligence and spine outside of the digital walls of this forum, start putting your money where you mouth is and stand a principled stand. I believe it's possible to once again reconcile common decency and respect within politics. No way does this country begin to do the same until somebody stands up and says "I'm not playing this stupid game". That means beginning with NOT engaging in shouting matches and petty dialect back and forth with the POTUS for starters, especially on twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not going to last. It does seem to be that we are at a tipping point. In the discussions on the subject long ago - I was all for civil unions to also be created for equal legal rights. I believe that is what the 63% means. If they were to have asked "do you support the gov forcing Real America to throw the definition of Marriage, and force them to accept a new definition that included ........" it would not have been a majority. Just my stubborn opinion on that. The left demands gov stay out of legislating morality - and has done so for decades. Then, when they get the upper hand, they demand that government legislate morality...because it would be in their favor. That is the inherent dishonesty in leftism emotion dominated people. They do not live on principle, they live on emotion, and self-benefit makes them happy. But let something make them unhappy, like losing their chance at dominating our gov for all time.............. and they go into a rage. It isn't just a few of us - about at least? half of America is Real America. I prefer to think that a sizeable % of the other side is also Real America - maybe the 23% that go to Trump rallies? ....and some are just misguided and can't figure out all the lies yet. I admire this Iranian who came to America so many years ago now - Real American citizen. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/the_rage_of_the_democrats.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
