You make a good case for why Gay's can't get married, since they aren't all the ones doing these acts. Also that those people who do commit these acts, homosexual or not cannot get married or whatever you're trying to use against homosexuals getting married.

These people are different then homosexuals. They are criminals, homosexuals are not. Homosexuals deserve marriage they don't. You cannot compare these two things, so don't try and make it seem bigger then it really is.

I disagreed with him, but exactly why was it deleted....?

David Limbaugh Is the biggest idiot I've ever heard speak. Anything he says I will never listen too, nice try...but sadly Limbaugh is one of the people I most hate...

Wow, I feel so sorry that gays getting marriage is so bad, and will lead to such corruption in America. Wow...you are blowing things out of proportion. You are making it seem like gays are such felons, when they aren’t. You are being extremely ignorant, and being very judgmental, and making broad generalizations that are indeed not true. Your concerns are so lame, and far-fetched they are not even worth responding to.

They have broken a law and are criminals. These people are very different and are not to be compared. You are making this way out of proportion. We have a right to ban them, because they want sex from adolescences. Gay's don't. :angry:

Don't forget moveon.org is helping with getting Bush out. That will provide help to John Kerry. This organization is huge, and it is funded by a billionaire...I think John Kerry is fine in the money situation. Bush right now has more money, but he has had way more time to get it. John Kerry has had endorsements from people, but some have been going to Edwards, Dean, etc. They will soon switch to giving money to Kerry...and that will help him (since he is a the clear pick) Then you have the majority of movie stars that usually endorse the democratic nominee. So John Kerry's money will get fairly equal to Bush's. If it doesn’t, we still have moveon.org to equal the playing field. They already have ads out, which are not getting criticism like Bush's has. Bush ads's were supposed to be positive, and it backfired in his poor little face. Your right he can't run on anything...so he has to go to this. Funny he does not have good old Dick in his ads... Just today: Kerry ahead of Bush by 8% in the polls...and he does not even have a vice president to help with his polling. Plus a sitting president should be way ahead of the competitor, when he isn't even officially been chosen. Kerry was ahead of Bush even before he beat out Edwards. 8% is a fairly large amount of people, and Bush’s ads haven’t helped weaken this lead.

DJ, don't humor me...that was the worst post I've seen in a long time. First of all, my friend Amanda said she'd much rather adopt...she is also a hetrosexual. These reasons apply: 1. She does not want to go through labor 2. She thinks that those children need parents too, and she feels bad for them 3. She thinks it would be doing a good deed to society, then to let that child go without a good family 4. She thinks the world is over-populated, and does not want to continue it. Simple equation: If my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great (you get the picture) Grandmother decided not to have kids do you know how many lives would not be on this planet? Or how may that will not be in the future? If my Grandmother decided not to have kids, there would be 6 less people on this earth. That are the reasons why she'd much rather adopt. The potential is there for half of straight marriages to turn out well. The majority of divorces are before children, so I’m going on that estimate. Then you count in the ones that have families that don’t turn out well. So I'm betting that about 3 out of 10 marriages that take place 1. Either fail in the first few years 2. Fail after having children, which creates a bad family relationship 3. Stay married have kids but suck at parenting With all of that I’m only guessing that roughly 30% of straight marriage creates a good, home, wonderful family structure. Plus how many homosexual parents do you know? Or for that matter that have a bad job at raising children? I know some, and they do a fine job. Plus the percent of kids to turn homosexual with homosexual parents is less likely. How the hell do you think homosexuals came about? Ummm, lets think from heterosexuals… Homosexuals can do just as good of a job as straights. If not better. Do you know how many straight fathers rape or have incest with their children? I highly doubt there is nearly the amount of reports of homosexuals doing that. The potential is there, but it’s not reality, face the facts.

It helps, just as much as straight marriage helps. How would it be any different? Except hopefully they won't get nearly as many divorces...

Nothing is missing...but re-read what I said "A "Civil Union" is a great idea, but it fails to give everyone equal rights. A "Civil Union" to gays, is restaurants specific for African Americas in the south. Many people in the South had the attitude of, "We will give them the same right, to eat in a restaurant, but not in ours!" Is that correct? No! Just like a civil union’s are not right for gays." Marriage is a right, they cannot get. So even if a "civil union" isn't missing anything...it's still does not give gays equal marriage RIGHTS

Wow, homosexuals can adopt... Saying heterosexuals provide things in society and homosexuals do not is ridiculous. Marriage is a right, and it's a law to have equal rights. So even if marriage isn't that "important" gays deserve to have it regardless.

My picture won't show up...grr

Bush = Stupid...mostly for going to war with Iraq...here is my take on it Countries, in Africa have many more problems then Iraq. With aids, mass murders, and many troublesome horrors. Iraq, on the other hand has a dictator, who kills his own men and women. That in itself is horrid. You should never kill your own people. But just because a country has this going on, does not give us the United States the right to ‘but’ in. That is what the Europeans did to Africa. They used ethnocentric ideas, which is believing your society is better then any other; thus it’s your common duty to change their ways of life. That is something that I long to disagree with. If we were going to be true to that statement we would pick African countries over Iraq. But then the game comes in, raw materials. Africa does not have oil…, which America needs. Making Iraq a prime target for American war. Not having actual factual information against Iraq makes this war a huge mistake. When a country strikes war, you must always have facts. Not having facts that they were tied to September 11, and not having facts that they have weapons of mass destruction makes this war more and more invalid. In the mean time, Iraq never had the weapons bush said they did. Did we forget North Korea? They have weapons, but what they don't have is oil! Muslim 97% (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%), Christian or other 3% Those are the percents of religions in Iraq, and if we were to have a democracy, what do you think would happen? Wouldn’t they just vote in someone of their religion, and then it just may turn into a dictatorship once again? Democracy is impossible in Iraq, at the very moment. So then we invade Iraq, to ride a murder. In doing so we bomb buildings that civilians work at, and kill innocent lives (10,000). We have now become no better then Saddam, we are ridding a murderer to become one ourselves. Yes Saddam has killed more then 10,000, but look at the amount of time he has had compared to ours. If you notice our terror alerts have gone up, even though they were suppose to go down once we got Saddam Hussein. Oh and our prime target Osama Bin Laden is now shoved into our memories. America has suffered the civil war, and the revolution. All of these wars were not fought on a world platform or considered a world war. All the people that lived through these wars are thus not living. We choose not to listen to Europe, when they speak out against our war. We don’t give two cents to the people that have had massive wars, that also have people who are still alive that have suffered a home front war. The United Nations, we left. We leave an organization that we are committed too. Then now asking for help in return. The only correct way to fix iraq, is to do it on a world platform. Iraq needs to be fought with the world support not just American and British support. Although most people in the United Kingdom don’t agree with this war... If you notice we got military support from Germany and France when we attacked Afghanistan. Those are the two countries that have fought out against our war. So my taking is we should maybe listen to the wise. Maybe that’s a wake up call, in saying this war isn’t correct…for they don’t support us like they did previously. The protests that were throughout America, and all around the world mean nothing. Thousands protested. None were heard. This brings me back to; bush senior didn’t get the job done. So now bush is getting it done for him. And in doing so, it’s costing billions to destroy Iraq, and billions more to rebuild it. :angry:

Many democrats/green party members that voted for him in the last election will not risk letting Bush in office again. To them any democrat is better then George Bush. John Kerry is now the presidential nominee. I believe that everyone who hates Bush will come together under one party, which would have to be the Democrats, along with Green party members and defeat him. John Kerry!! (I want to vote )

What has Bush done for us? (This is just a quick list I came up with)...I'm 14 and sadly I can't vote... ~Given us the biggest deficit…since the great depression. ~Our jobless rate has been rising to the biggest since the great depression ~Our economy is in a recession ~Cut money from my education ~Given the wealthy tax breaks ~Turned are once allies against us ~Lied to us about war ~500+ United States soldiers have died ~10,000+ innocent civilians in Iraq have been killed ~Not gotten Osama Bin Laden ~Got Saddam Hussein, but in doing so our terror alters have been going up, and down ~Divided America ~Cut down on environmental standards ~Patriot Act, with violates our constitution and our right to privacy ~Wants to ban flag burning (which will just make more people do it) ~Marriage Laws will be enforced

This to me is greatly appalling. He is using images of one of are most recent and horrible attacks on the United States, to try and sway the American public to vote for him; by using his Republican propaganda machine. These ads are supposed to provide a sense of President Bush’s great leadership during the past 3 years, since September 11th. I believe it’s disrespecting September 11th, and used to gain support for his re-election. He honestly has not respect for the victims, and the horrible events that they encountered. The President has no sense of how touchy this subject is, and then to flaunt them in his ads for his personal gain is bullshit. Is a 500 billion dollar deficit, economic recession, jobless rate up 5% (2.9 million jobs lost), 9 billion cut from “no child left behind”, trying to change are sacred constitution, lying to us abut war, 10,000 innocent civilians dead in Iraq, 500 US soldiers dead, loss of friends in the United Nations, not finding Osama Bin Laden, cut down on environmental standards, and cut 3.8 million dollars for health insurance for Americans...great leadership? Oh, and hello everyone. I'm a 14 year old living in Portland, Oregon. I posted in the Gay Debate, just awhile go. Check it out...byebye

Marriage is a church issue, yes, although it has many government ties, and connections. In order to make your marriage legal you have to get it signed in a court of law. You are only allowed to get it signed, if it is a man and a woman (being wed). So in our government or courts of the United States, we are excluding homosexuals a denied right of marriage. Even if you believe it’s between a man and a woman; it’s still a right, which they are denied. Many say homosexuals have this right, if they do it with someone of the opposite sex? But again, that’s defeating the purpose of being homosexual. It is a heterosexual’s right in America to get a marriage license. It is not a right of a homosexual couple in America. That is a right that is denied. If this denied right is based on a religion, we are going against our Constitution, and Bill of Rights. All they want are equal benefits, for health care, visitations in the hospital, and equal rights. A "Civil Union" is a great idea, but it fails to give everyone equal rights. A "Civil Union" to gays, is restaurants specific for African Americas in the south. Many people in the South had the attitude of, "We will give them the same right, to eat in a restaurant, but not in ours!" Is that correct? No! Just like a civil union’s are not right for gays. If they get married, and it’s not according to your definition of marriage, then they aren’t leading a real marriage now are they? So, how does it hurt you? Or better yet, how does it hurt you at all? Some people falsely say that it is morally destroying marriage; to have homosexuals get the same title as heterosexuals. But I ask you this, is a 55% divorce rate in America making marriage such a prized, and morally wonderful license? Isn’t that what is really destroying marriage? Not two people of the same sex actually wanting to share their love, in an equal, fair government instituted, license? The majority of Americans do not favor this, however. But the majority of whites didn’t favor African American independence, or freedom. But, it was changed, contrary to what the majority thought. The majority of people thought marriage was between people of the same race. People used quotes in the Bible, (as they are now). The majority thought this, but the majority lost. This all comes to our issues today, gay marriage. The same reasons are used, the majority is against it, but that does not mean it is right. People are criticizing cities for breaking the law for justice? Well, you have to in this case. Blacks had to break the law, to gain equality, and the right to marry people of the opposite race. Woman also had to for the right to vote and got arrested, broke the law, and was criticized by the majority of Americans. In the end they got the right to vote. As gays are doing now in my home Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, New York, New Mexico, and Massachusetts. Everyone does have the right to pursue happiness. Is love, running around naked? Is love, and wanting to put it in a legal document, so socially wrong? A person running around naked offends people. A person getting married is not noticeable, unless you MAKE it noticeable. That is exactly what the Republican propaganda machine is doing now. There is most likely going to always be more heterosexual’s in the world. If it’s not natural to be gay, then is it their choice? I honestly, highly, doubt that if it were everyone’s “choice”, everyone would choose to be heterosexual. Why would you ever, in a million years, pick to be homosexual? You will get discriminated against, cannot make children, and everything else that goes along with being gay. Plus, did you ever sit down and go, “em I straight? ” I doubt that, too. If we are truly a fair, equal, non-religious government, homosexual marriage will and should be legal.
