CBS Evening News: California Vote To Reverse Same-Sex Marriage Ruling A Heated Issue

[gwm281]

Have you ever noticed that when someone speaks against the liberal agenda what happen, how the liberals attack that person or try to defend their position? They have to settle to name calling such as PVerson calling those who disagree with him %u201Cfools%u201D or johnbrown888 calling them %u201Cjerks%u201D and %u201Crightwing Haters%u201D. I was always taught to respect the views of others (not agree, bur respect) and that if a person has to attack it is a sign that they have problems with their facts or that they do not respect themselves nor other people. Once again, a sad day for America when these people can not even practice what they preach %u2013 tolerance for all people and views.

For all of you religion-haters: Have you ever wondered why God prohibits some things and calls it sin? Maybe because of the anquish it causes and the lives it shatters? Have you ever thought about the things He encourages? Maybe because of the wellness it brings?

"SILENT MAJORITY"

Are you kidding? You can''t go a half block without seeing one of those yes on 8 signs, every church is preaching for passage, telephone calls, door to door people, God I wish those fools would be quiet. I also wish that the Mormon Church that''s bankrolling the campaign for passage of 8 would mind their on states business. Don''t they have enough to worry about with plural marriages and child brides?

*****The dream died when Bush was elected the second time. this whole mess is the fault of every ******* that voted for him the second time.*******

Let me understand this, the people who voted for Bush is the reason we have the vocal minority and a liberal court system pushing same *** marriage on the majority of people that do not want it nor approve it. Am I understanding you right? I think you may need to recheck your facts.

''''''''vote Obama and watch the American Way and Dream disappear. ''''''''''

The dream died when Bush was elected the second time. this whole mess is the fault of every ******* that voted for him the second time.

[gwm281]

Once again it is a sample of the VOCAL MINORITY pushing their agenda on the SILENT MAJORITY by using an unjust court system appointed by liberal elected officials. American you want more issue you like this %u2013 Then vote Obama and watch the American Way and Dream disappear.

Ok so we have 33 million dollars gathered to fight for prop 8 and 44 million dollars to stop it. If the money gathered on both sides were dropped into education it would help both sides learn enough about the others issues it wouldn''t be an issue. It would also benefit the children who so desperately need a decent education. Stop fighting over something that is a personal choice and use the funds to better all of humanity.

The relationship that my partner and I share is completely natural. we use absolutely no preservatives nor artificial ingredients.

Folks, we really have considerably more important issues in this country to worry about. Last time I checked our economy is in the toilet, we have 2 wars going on, gas prices (while now below $2) are still high, crime rate is up, graduation rate is down. All of these issues affect my marriage far more than 2 people of the same *** that love each other getting married.

I fail to understand how any heterosexual married couples relationship is threatened by a homosexual couple, ----------------------------------------

You probably also think that when a whack-job declares that he is a Christian after molesting 1000 kids or marrying a 12-year-old girl, that they represent ALL people who truly are Christian!

Your failure to understand, underscores the root of the debate!

WOW Vicar...big leap in logic there. How did you fly from the impact that homosexuality has on heterosexuality in general, to the sordid affairs of some seriously thoughtless and morally depraved catholic priests?

[jolsonbear]

From story above -- "Our posture is we want to preserve marriage as being defined between a man and a woman from the beginning of time."

Historically as well as Biblically, the prevailing definition of marriage has traditionally been one man subjugating one or more wives.

Civil marriage should be defined as the union of two people for the purpose of promoting monogamy. The state has a vested interest in promoting monogamy as a means to reduce STD''s and the cost''s asociated with them.

[thinkharder-]

unnatural.

Posted by doctor2012 at 10:12 AM : Oct 31, 2008

I''ll accept that...so long as we agree that the definition of "natural" is simply hinged upon the simplest forms of necessity with regards to the proliferation of the species. But, the "naturalness" of a person is being attacked here with a much more emotionally driven slant towards what is right...not what is necessary.

[doctor2012]

No think.

Reasoning is not unnantural. However our ability to go against what we would do if we were not as smart and make errors in the process is heightened along with our reasoning. We can reason to have *** with pigs and dogs and some people have gone through with that. Something no other species seems to practice. However, it is unnatural. If we accept that perpetuation of the species is natural, then by definition an organism that does not do that either sexually or asexually has to be unnatural.

I fail to understand how any heterosexual married couple''s relationship is threatened by a homosexual couple, rather that couple is married or not, and rather or not that couple lives down the street or hundreds of miles away!
