The best one yet. Camilla Send a noteboard - 10/08/2010 07:59:17 PM
Today's "Say what" section of Doonesbury was perfect in its insanity:

"I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to be extinct, and none of us wants to be. So we don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage...Marriage between one man and one woman remains the guard against human extinction."
-- MLK niece Alveda King on gay marriage

Let's ban all Christian Marriage. Dannymac - 07/08/2010 06:36:13 AM 1619 Views
Nice satire, but it raises another point for me. Helene - 07/08/2010 07:20:49 AM 1024 Views

That seems sensible to me. SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:13:26 PM 936 Views
Not sure what you mean by "demoted." Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:50:02 PM 1081 Views
Nice. *NM* Camilla - 07/08/2010 08:58:20 AM 608 Views
That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. Cannoli - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1256 Views
Hey, look! There was a point over there! Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:46:41 PM 1070 Views
Who else should make those decisions? Cannoli - 07/08/2010 08:00:39 PM 1009 Views
I'd totally... Ectheledhel - 08/08/2010 04:14:15 AM 964 Views

You'd defend this idiot? *NM* Ectheledhel - 08/08/2010 06:40:34 AM 500 Views

I used to think Joel was the biggest rambler on this site. I am seriously reconsidering. everynametaken - 08/08/2010 05:24:56 AM 1057 Views
And my assessment of one poster as the most content-poor, non-contributing slug is unchanged Cannoli - 08/08/2010 07:17:02 PM 966 Views
Um, ok. *NM* everynametaken - 10/08/2010 12:48:19 AM 502 Views

Re: *Shakes Head* Cannoli - 08/08/2010 07:43:11 PM 980 Views
I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution LadyLorraine - 08/08/2010 08:05:45 PM 1077 Views
No, I was referring to same-sex marriage. Real marriage hardly counts as a novelty. *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 02:28:43 PM 443 Views
This must be the "thought out reaction" I've heard so much about. Dannymac - 08/08/2010 10:45:59 PM 925 Views
You cannot be that stupid. Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:10:55 PM 1205 Views
There's a lot of ridiculous arguments here, but I'll focus on just one of them... Legolas - 11/08/2010 03:38:05 PM 1077 Views
Incorrect. Genders are not treated equally. Dreaded Anomaly - 11/08/2010 07:53:00 PM 1308 Views
all you need is enough support to pass an amendment random thoughts - 08/08/2010 02:46:08 PM 911 Views
A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too Isaac - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 952 Views
And what is wrong with polygamy? *NM* Ectheledhel - 09/08/2010 10:36:53 AM 504 Views
Did I say there was anything? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:03:10 AM 1070 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. Camilla - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 991 Views
Is that assumption valid? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:36:26 AM 938 Views

Mmm, but when you're strictly discussing marriage LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 06:13:30 PM 1080 Views
Re: Mmm, but when you're strictly discussing marriage Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:24:06 AM 887 Views

Great post Danny SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:22:27 PM 769 Views
It should be noted again... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 1063 Views
and how is it not a right? LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 935 Views
My definition of rights... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 10:47:16 PM 1061 Views
mmm, but the UN has legally stated marriage as a right. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 02:52:03 AM 821 Views
+1 Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:11:22 AM 1094 Views
Article 16 probably not a great example Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:44:04 AM 918 Views
You could just as easily move the emphasis... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:08:46 AM 1044 Views
If we need a more specific resolution... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:22:12 AM 1218 Views
No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 05:25:57 AM 913 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:04:39 PM 1230 Views
That's really a ridiculous stance, you do realize. Legolas - 10/08/2010 03:23:02 PM 876 Views
The point is that marriage IS a right, one which cannot be denied based upon sexual orientation *NM* Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:04:16 PM 701 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:46:56 PM 1107 Views
It doesn't say a man can only marry a woman or vice versa, though. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 04:24:17 AM 911 Views
It also doesn't say they can Isaac - 10/08/2010 04:41:18 AM 921 Views
You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM 918 Views
No, I got that, I'm pointing out how it does so Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:47:00 PM 936 Views
I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:09:32 PM 909 Views
Re: I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. Isaac - 10/08/2010 06:33:56 PM 844 Views
It's mentioned as a right in some SC decision quoted in that Walker opinion. *NM* Legolas - 10/08/2010 06:51:13 PM 453 Views
To clarify for you SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 05:36:14 AM 846 Views
The UNSC is actually the UN's enforcement body... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:16:31 PM 1283 Views
I'm not sure that I would call the Security Council the 'Enforcement Body' SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 08:43:02 PM 884 Views
The fact that it is capable of authorizing the use of military force makes it an enforcement body Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 10:33:59 PM 1154 Views
Disagree - but it's most a matter of definition there SilverWarder - 11/08/2010 04:31:53 PM 1063 Views
What the UN thinks is *completely* worthless.... Jeordam - 10/08/2010 06:43:15 PM 858 Views
and the Constitution dictates nothing about marriage. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 11:46:24 PM 481 Views
That means it is up to the people. And they say "No." *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:13:12 PM 488 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination SilverWarder - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1104 Views
Why don't YOU back up your assertion that the right to marry exists? *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:16:02 PM 492 Views
The actual ruling on Prop 8 specifices marriage as a freedom, not a right. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 12:02:17 AM 991 Views
Out of curiosity, what would you say to using the Ninth Amendment, possibly in conjunction... Vodalus - 10/08/2010 12:20:19 AM 1071 Views
I agree LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:11:19 PM 794 Views
Yeah but this can't be used to prove that it IS a right... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:30:57 PM 1147 Views
Note it all you want... Dannymac - 10/08/2010 06:43:53 AM 785 Views
No, they seek to expand the terms of the partnership. Homosexuals can & do get married normally *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:14:25 PM 503 Views
The best one yet. Camilla - 10/08/2010 07:59:17 PM 1043 Views
