waldo Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 "SANTORUM" as defined by Dan Savage and hysterically supported by his like-minded fellow gays is their breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.No wonder they know so much about it. hysterical? Like-minded fellow gays? Is yours a personal anecdote; one sprinkled with your own familiarity? You know what they say about those who criticize the most/loudest...do tell. what do ted haggard and larry craig say?What Ted Haggard and Larry Craig says does not matter. Ask the person whose opinion DOES matter, the lover of brown sausages, Barney Frank.Or more locally, Scott Bryson or Svend Robinson. no, yours is the opinion being questioned and focused upon... yours is the opinion that, as you say, DOES matter. Again, you know what they say about those who criticize the most/loudest. Just come out, Yukon Jack... free yourself... unburden your feelings. Sure you can!

-TSS- Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 What man wouldn't wanna marry a younger woman? It's only human nature. Just like gay sex right? You guys should be more open-mined! Our president-elect here in Finland has a wife who is 29 years younger than him. He won the election beating a candidate who is gay and has a registered partnership with a man 20 years younger than him and coming from Ecuador.

punked Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) What man wouldn't wanna marry a younger woman? It's only human nature. Just like gay sex right? You guys should be more open-mined! Who wouldn't want to divorce his first wife while she has a cancer she will later die from and is on her death bed while your two children wait in the car right? Comparing Newt's marriages and his heartless cruel divorces to gay marriage is offensive to gay couples every where.

-TSS- Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Indeed, I dislike Gingrich for his politics and everything he represents and stands for but if one wishes to dislike him for further reasons than that it is not difficult to find those reasons to dislike him. Actually, it is terrifying that there are millions of people who really think he'd make the best president of the alternatives on offer.

Shady Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Once again, I'm proven right. Federal judge allows polygamous family’s lawsuitA federal judge has ruled there’s sufficient evidence to allow a polygamous family made famous by a reality TV show to pursue a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Utah’s bigamy law. Washington Post Like I said. If you're going to change the definition of marriage related to sex. Then there's no logical defense as to why it can't be changed further.

waldo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Once again, I'm proven right. you were arguing with yourself, so... you'd always be right! by hey now, can this highlight on Utah, polygamy and Mormonism be good for your boy Mitt? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Jack Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I agree polygamists face an uphill battle, but its not because of logic. They are swimming against the currents of prevailing social morality, and that morality often has nothing to do with logic. I personally find that most of the people against polygamy, dont really mind the concept of three concenting adults living together as a family... they are more concerned with the practical implications and the fact this arrangement seems to foster child abuse and spousal abuse. Anyhow youre certainly right that they have a much bigger hill to climb. My argument was more that the whole idea of "logic" as a driver of civil rights is flawed. Polygamy is THE wedge issue that Muslims can and almost certainly WILL use to hasten their quest to impose Sharia Law on an unsuspecting, or perhaps more correctly, a blind and tolerant North America. Polygamy is OK under Islam. Opposing any aspect of Islam is politically incorrect racism/xenophobia/anti-Islamism. Therefore, opposing polygamy is racist, xenophobic and anti-Islam, which can not be tolerated. Follow the logic. Expect the marriage laws change one more time. Then get the band saws ready to amputate the hand(s) of some hungry bum who stole a loaf of bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Jack Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Well, first, the courts don't make law. They interpret law, and they're an equal branch of government, not above them. And second, so you're saying that because the definition has been changed, in some states, regarding race, and now more recently regarding sex, that no further changes can be made? Why not? On what basis? In 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States made Roe vs. Wade a law. 50 million babies were legally butchered since then. Some of them may have become potential Einsteins, Mozarts, Shakespeares, Rubens's, or even Obama's. And let us not forget, taxpayers. You know, people to contribute towards the rapidly diminishing fund for Social Security. Edited February 13, 2012 by Yukon Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's no logical defense as to why it can't be changed further. I actually took the trouble to read the decision. What is really troubling is that Utah has 30,000 polygamous families and none are being prosecuted.The decision was solely on the issue of whether Kody Brown had the standing to challenge Utah's polygamy law's constitutionality. The Court did not decide there was enough evidence; only that Kody Brown was sufficiently threatened by prosecution that he could challenge the law.

Abortion before "quickening" was allowed at common law. I can see a problem with a termination at 36 or even 30 weeks. But at 12 weeks or less, give me a break.
