After all, our leader came *this* close to being beheaded...if the Pat Robertsons of the world knew his name they'd surely tell us why.

VintagePunk said:The gay relative, or the man-beast issue? If all else fails, blame it on Harper. He eats babies, you know.
Was there really a serious question in there? I had next to no sleep last night due to a dental appointment/phobia this morning, so I'm not at my most cognizant.

i mean was there some sort of a backlash to the gay marriage thing that might have caused more socially conservative voters to turn out in higher numbers or caused some to vote conservative when they might not have in the past.
it was a serious question.
Harper eats babies? really? baby seals, i could imagine, but babies themselves?
wow.

VintagePunk said:And the "Harper eats babies" thing came about because someone hacked into the Toronto transit system's signs that appear on their trains, and programmed that phrase into it. It stayed up for the better part of a day before it was fixed.
I'll wager it's 50/50. Although fear usually is the trigger for bigotry.INDY500 said:So to those of you who say there are no sound arguments against same-sex marriage. Why the debate? Why the sudden rush by so many states, including Oregon and California to pass statues against same-sex marriage. All bigory and fear? Some, to be sure, but all?
INDY500 said:The inability to see the world through the eyes of another is very narcissistic isn't it?
INDY500 said:we should jump headlong into the social experiment of redefining marriage.
I'm a fan of irony and all, but this line takes the cake.INDY500 said:

Gavin Newsom's actions outside CA law did more to harm the issue than anything else. As discussed here elsewhere, the visual images from SF likely struck the "ick factor" that drives a good part of this debate.
Without Newsom's actions, I hoestly believe we could have a domestic partnership bill pass in CA by now.

INDY500 said:It's kinda worked for a few thousand years and some of us have just sorta got used to the idea. Anyway, I respect your opinions, thank you for respecting mine.

Sacrilege.
That song was written in 1968 by Sly Stone, he of the massive hairdo.
The Blackhearts' version is probably better, though.

And quoting that song just shows you don't understand the purpose of the song.
INDY500 said:
Ummm, are you familiar with the phrase...
"Sonny boy, you don't know what the f@ck you're talkin' about."
INDY500 said:My only point being that 2/3rds of Americans are not bigoted solely because they feel marriage should be reserved for one man and one woman.
Irvine511 said:
your numbers are incorrect
[/q]
Americans under 40, and especially under 30, are vastly more welcoming to sexual diversity than their parents and especially their grandparents
BonoVoxSupastar said:^ I think the fact that this question has gone unanswered speaks volumes.
nbcrusader said:
I think it says no one answered your question. Plenty of questions posted here go unanswered.
Irvine511 said:
true, but it does post a great question:
to the parents in here, would you want your theoretical gay son or daughter to be able to get married?
