The only problem I have with not allowing gays to marry is the fact that they do not receive the same benefits as hetero couples that do marry. I was recently married. Neither myself nor my wife have anything to do with organized religion. We weren't married in a church, didn't have a religious ceremony, and do not plan on using our marriage to get closer to any higher power. What makes this any more acceptable than a gay couple who feel the same way about one another? Whats the excuse for allowing people to marry 5, 6, or 7 times? Where does God say that is ok? You can't let some people "sin", and others not.
We love each other, and want to spend the rest of our lives together. If one of us passes, the other will receive whatever we have at that time. What makes our marriage any different than a same sex couple who share the same feeelings?
If you want to call it a civil union, go ahead...but everyone should have the same rights and benefits...straits, gays, whatever. Every person in this country should have the right to spend the rest of their lives with the person they love, pay appropriate taxes, and receive the same benefits. These days, marriage is just a word that religious groups use to make themselves feel better. Until people have to prove that they are marrying for religious reasons, marriage should be open to anyone.
Its easy for girls like the one in the video AND Dr. Coffee to talk about guns rights or citizens rights. Easy to claim people need to "stand up for their rights" ...
But they have never served in the military or risked anything for their county.
If there was a draft they'd probably dodge it like Cheney or Romney did.

(This is actually the FIRST time in 10 years on this forum that i have made a negative comment about a military member.)

I am not in the military. I am a veteran. You are free to think whatever you like about me.
I never once said you are less patriotic, what I said was
So again it is easy to go on the internet or radio (Rush, Alex Jones) and say that Americans freedom is under attack spouting divisive language and hate speech. But you might have a different perspective if you actually served.
I suggest anyone reading this read all my comments.
sorry fella but the word marriage no longer belongs to only Christians , hasn't for a very long time , everyone was quite happy to let Muslims,Jews ect have a marriage but as soon as gays want to marry you go bat **** crazy about what the word marriage means and who can and cannot have a marriage, sorry but the word marriage was given up long ago, you should just move on as i am now ....
Writing random things that make no sense doesn't prove a point. The problem with your argument is you have interjected your personal beliefs into the issues and let them trump your thought process. Marriage isn't controlled by religion. And shouldn't be. Your idiotic points are summarized with your belief that gay marriage is ruining the fabric of the US. Only a bigot believes that.
Don't know when marriage started. No one does exactly. But lets call it 10,000 years ago. It is completely irrelevant. There have been gay people the entire time there has been marriage.
If you don't like getting called out being a bigot, then don't type posts filled with bigotry. Pretty simple concept.
Drcoffee, he was done with rational debate long before his intellect ran out - follow his comments to me on pages 2 and 3 of this thread, let alone other threads where he resorted to personal attacks and attempts of derailment of topics if you want to witness ignorance. I suppose in West Virginia things operate differently due to blemishes in the education system (maybe because of all that coal dust inhaled generations ago) and this is the normal thought process. :repuke:
Ive even tried to ignore his stupidity in hopes that the troll would eventually find someone else to harass.
This post will be quoted and he'll cry out of his vagina that I've done something to provoke him. Or he'll accuse me of not having original material or not being able to think for myself, but the common theme will be that his problems are my fault. Not his own doing. And I'll still be able to get 8 hours of sleep tonight and at the end of the day, I'll be unaffected by his garbage. :guitar3:
what are you talking about? there has been beastiality for that long too. are you saying it should be considered for legal marriage as well. please compose your thoughts before spouting nonsense.
Damn, you guys get salts when you get called out!
Coal dust... Man you must feel pretty insecure. Thanks for telling us all.
Not at all. Certainly not because of some dude over the Internet anyway. Simply lowering my standards and resorting to your style of arguing. I'm fighting ignorance with ignorance. When in Rome......:whipping2:bravo:
I have no doubt that eventually some idiot president will outlaw all but the simplest of handguns, and maybe also keep hunting rifles/shotguns. The more this country pushes toward touchy-feely, gotta-save-the-people-from-themselves, politically-correct crap, the more rights we stand to lose.

GA man, you're giving him way too much credit. Ignorance can be corrected. We're dealing with straight-up stupid. Or maybe its gay-up stupid. Which is tbst? It's time to come out of the closet. Come on now, we won't love you any less than we already do.
Obviously you are or you wouldn't have responded. And you wouldn't have tried to justify yourself. It be cool though.
Still steaming that you got called out for being the bigot you are. And now are showing more of your true colors with more bigotry. Keep rolling.
