Texas has decided to bring the issue of "Marriage" to the voters. The premise is that "Marriage" is to be defined as "the union of one man and one woman". Also that the government role in all this, is to support the previous. I have a problem with government being envolved at all, and that the general public would have anything to do with what couples do in their homes.

I think the next logical step, would be to outlaw "marriage" altogether, at least in the respect that government should have no role in human beings private affairs. The only way to ensure equality in this issue, is that noone be given authorative, legal control over another human- period. The whole premise of a marriage is the promise to stay and honor and be devoted to a single other. The execution of punishment for the failure to do so, lies with the laws, which the civil, and criminal courts must then enforce.

I am tired of having to support legal entities that place the role of enforcement on the general public. Tax dollars should not be used to make criminals out of people solely because they are human.

With the divorce rate as high as it is, there is no warranted need for such laws, (Marriage is a dying institution and just benefits lazy, greedy women who dont want to work for a living) the existence of laws governing legal partnerships, should suffice to protect ones' investment in others.

Update; It is now law in Texas; Marriage is defined as a union between one woman and one man- period.

What was not defined is what we call it;
when Delay and his "Assistant" hook up, and do those strange things they do together. (criminal)

What we call it when Adolph and snowdog hookup and do what they do together?- I wonder what that relationship would reap? (frozen Nazi?)

What we call it when Bush and Cheney do what they do at night together- in Crawford- with a turkey, and Lauras not watching..... (Chain the turkey to the Bush?)

What do we call it when the young hot twin Bush daughters hookup.......
2 bushes intertwined = a thicket!

I know I heard the thong !!!

How in the world has world made it to this point??? To think, the union between a man and a woman has brought society here, but I can say we were forced to take a Left turn in the 60's with the sexual revolution. Now I can't even find a quality family show for my children before bed. I would bring up what the bible says about homosexuallity, but I think that should be common sence, because the only way to bring about life is with a man and a woman. And finally, Lady, if you ever had children, which I can tell you don't, you would know that anyone that takes time from a career to love and nurture her children [U]is the farthest thing in the world from lazy. PERIOD!!!!!!!

I was wondering, perhaps you could explain it to me exactly how hearth and home are threatened by the prospect of gay folks being allowed to marry? This is an argument I have a devil of a time trying to grasp.
If you could do so without resorting to religion, that would be great. I would appreciate any assistance you could offer to help me understand this.

Several points-

If you need to sit your kids down in front of the TV before bed-you suck as a parent- assuming you are a parent- TV is not a good substitute for living!

Second I have a wonderful 15 year old daughter- she does not need to watch TV before bed, and we can select what we watch- like NGC, History channel, HGTV, there are plenty of good- productive- educational- if not prgressive shows- your only limited by your ability to be resourceful and or creative with your time with your kids (what does this say about what you are lacking cognitively?)- we would rather be outside taking care of our animals or building something, though I have to admit I give her time on the PC, and support- if not promote her artisitic endeavers.

Third, you are backwards and wrong, you dont need a man and a woman to produce life- Backwards thinking- Historical antiquated crank! Where have you been the last 100 years- stuck on stupid!, stuck on believing everything your preached!

And finally, and most important, I think any law that makes someone a slave to another person is wrong!!! Religous contracts should not be re-inforced by federal laws!

The only reason married folks need a document to keep someone with them, is because they know their significant other would leave thier stupid- unworthy- sorry asses!

If your spouse is going to leave you- nothing- I dont care how how you define it, will keep your spouse with you- ever heard of divorce and annullments?

Ill send you a dollar and you can buy yourself a clue, or at least how much can we pay you, to go read you bible for the rest of your life and be happy in your faith! That way when you are all alone with your marriage certificate, you will be happy to know that Homosexuals dont have the same benefit of being left with a paper and your belief structure-

Thank God you will have scripture to fill your- huh lets say- "Needs" Halleluya!!!

First to the woman( because to call yourself a lady is an insult to the real ones)

My wife and I have 2 daughters, both 3 and under, so to try and sit and tell the eldest to watch the gardening channel, I imagine it would last about ten seconds. We also consider this quality family time. You see, mosts of us reds believe that this time together, with a mother and a father, makes for a stronger family unit.

Here's one that baffels me. How has science worked around in the past 100 years making a life,(which begins at conception), without a man-sperm, and a woman-egg. Because even if you put them together in a dish, one is just a cell without the other.

And last, I think you need some counseling. You have alot of anger. I know it scares what I would call non-believers, that there could be the possibility that the bible and faith are right, and that when it says that to men should not lay together, you might want to listen. Then some day, someone much much greater than some stupid, idiot, redneck redstater will judge us all

To lionheart, to take the religion aspect out of the argument, takes the argument out of it all. To do something that feels good and to do something that feels good against Gods wishes is in where the argument lies

...To do something that feels good and to do something that feels good against Gods wishes is in where the argument lies

To see how an agnostic or atheist would feel about this statement, read the following rewrite:


...To do something that feels good and to do something that feels good against the Tooth Fairy's wishes is in where the argument lies

I need counseling, OK I agree with you, because everything I had posted previously is wrong- You dont suck as a parent- you are doing everything right and when your child grows up, IT will be just like you- just like you are a product of your parents- get the picture? And have you looked in the mirrior- exactly what are you producing?

Now imagine since I am wrong and I bring up my child with my belief structures- REALITY, Lets say your child and my child meet somewhere in the future and they have this same discussion, I wonder who will believe they are right and who is ignorant?

You say I have anger, and lord knows what else, but I say- if I have anger who's fault is it? My societies? My Gods', Yours?

You and other self rightous Reds, need a God, a Jesus, something to hold on to, something to deliver you, something to provide for you (everything from Faith to food), If for one second if you could beleive in yourself and your fellow man, and change the world for the better and leave religon where it belongs- at church, then maybe Jihads, would be a thing of the past.

I wont take the time to bring you up to date with what science has acomplished, but when you eat a steak, or an egg, or when you look at someone, know one thing- MAN may have created it!

I present to you these links;

It is a project I am proud to say I was involved with, and learned a lot from- research it, and you will find that to play God- is not as remote as you think.

And another thing- if you need the bible- you have no faith, so dont preach to me- save it for someone like you, who needs your type of faith!

Glady1.

It appears that you think of me quite often there Glady1. I think perhaps
YOU need to be reminded of one thing you idiot, I live here in Wa State,
I had no part in the electoral process of TEXAS. The People of Texas have
made it abundantly clear..... they do not want GAY Marriage !! You got a
problem with that.... take it up with your fellow Texans. Yes, I happen to
agree with the vast majority in Texas on the subject of Gay Marriage. I do
not think it is appropriate. There is NO right or wrong answer on the subject.
it is a matter of ones opinion.

Ok- I admit it- I think about you insistently night and day- I think about the white shimmering off your sleek fur, and how your tail wags- left to right, then right to left- man do I get hot!
My lovely little snowdog- so full of rightious indignation, so intelleigent- Bush would be proud- boy my hands are sweating- just clicking these keys- hastedly opining all my desire for my little snowmutt- what a hound! I cant help myself, this must be hell- and the second coming done came and gone!!! How can I stand not to read how you believe I am and "Idiot"- hurt me, beat me, make me say I like it! Oh man, and when I think about the long-wet tongue just lapping and lapping, and the thought of all those fleas- tickling at my flesh.......Whoop!

Guns, God and Gays

Gratelady1, you say you're a Republican. You give me hope for the Republican Party if people like yourself are members! Very good. Although I am profoundly liberal, I come from a family of Republicans and they are extremely upset with the "big government, fiscally irresponsible, pro-war, lying bunch of criminals" called NeoCons in power presently.

Here's what a Washington insider said. When the White House is in trouble they pull out the "Guns, God and Gays" cards to defuse any debate on what they are really doing. They have done nothing but trash our country. Illegal war, thousands dead and wounded, no health care, enormous debt, seniors in worse shape, schools going down the tubes, no homeland security, jobs being lost overseas, our borders unprotected ... and the American public so divided we could have a civil war ...

but, can't let those queers get married!!!! Now there's an issue! Who gives a flying leap?

I currently do not subscribe to any political affiliation- I consider it whoring one's self out- but I am a traditionalist, and somewhat a conservative, But now I am proud to claim I am a Progressive.

And I feel all serving U.S. military should take out the real enemy of America- The two party system!

You would think if anyone would appreciate ranting about you- it would be you!

But if you want me to talk about selfish peopl,e who think they can legislate what people call their relationships, OK here Is my take- If it feels good- go for it!

If you need a central arguement to dictate to folks how to address thier relationships- go kiss up to and marry Bush, he likes your ideals!

down the gay marriage issue. I am not a resident of Texas, Yes, I would of
voted against a law that would make gay marriage legal because I feel it is
wrong. SO what?
