lol, you just wrote the contradictions (plural!) of the year. The best: "As I said before, I am not for it nor against it." - "I htink thats why I'm against this until something is done with it." That's already two contradicitions in one. You are against changing the law until it is changed... lol. Oxymoron, wow great rhetoric. :)
Just swallow your proudness and admit it, instead of changing the topic and babbling about maturity. Your pigheadedness is the only problem, so you're right, there's no use in arguing any longer.

Look, I know what are you trying to say, but I'm speaking from MORAL view. I think you're the one missing my point all the time. Or just don't want to get it. If you steal a stereo, yes, you do harm someone. You harm the owner of that stereo, at least financially. Really not a good example. I really am well aware of what you're saying, and I don't agree that you or me can't do anything to change the law. For Christ's sake, laws are not unchangeouble!! The right question is DO WE WANT TO change them or not? And somehow I get the feeling you don't...
"And I hate arguing, so lets call this one good, I respect you and your opinions on this, and happy that you have a stand for what you believe in. :)"
I hate arguing too, but when it comes to questions like this I could just... Nevermind. I respect other people's opinion, and yours of course. That doesn't mean I agree with it, but hey, you have every right on your opinion, and that's what I fight for. So, a good idea, to call it good:)) I've anyway said everything I wanted to say, peace!!

I would like to point out that until the 1940s, interracial marriage was illegal in 44 states, and it wasn't until the late-1960s that the Supreme Court struck down those laws in every remaining state (mostly in the South).
To hide behind the legal aspect ignores the moral aspect of the question.

I'm not saying it's not a stupid law guys, but I am saying that I have to agree with it UNTIL it is changed.
"I htink thats why I'm against this until something is done with it." That's already two contradicitions in one.'
No I'm not brainiac. There is a moral and legal issue. Moraly I abide by what the law says. If it is changed then I have no issue with it. It's law, and I will think it's good. Do you want me to hold your hand while we go through this one more time?
'You are against changing the law until it is changed...'
I am against it happening because the law says it's wrong, or not allowed. However you want to say it. When it is ok'd by the government dear hanky, I will say it's cool with me.
Zeni. Good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. If it is deemed discrimination, then it should be allowed. No doubt. But people can't just go around doing things because they think it's ok. No matter how little they seem. :)

Britney Spears can get married as a joke, yet gay people who have been in a relationship for decades can't.
So much for the "sanctity of marriage."

Uhm, I'm just a little bit confused. This is about wanting to change the Constitution so that gay marriage will be disallowed, right? This has not yet happened. Therefore, we sign a petition, because we protest, and we don't want it to happen. I don't see where we break the law.
Or, if I have gotten this wrong, we are signing a petition in order to change a law. Laws are changable, as I said they're there for the best of the people. If a majority finds it not to be the best of the people and morally to be pure unjustice, the law can change. Signing a petition in order to get this through, is not illegal.
Defending a case I fight for, is not illegal.
Where do your statement come from, then? You say I should shut my mouth about my opinions on gay marriage, because gay marriage is illegal, and everyone should shut their mouths until the law is changed? Well, I don't think laws change by themselves, so someone has to speak up - right?
If I said people should get married while it is still illegal, then I understand your point, but that I never said. I simply said I consider the law to be wrong and that it should be changed, and according to free speach I'm not doing anything illegal at all.
Btw, good posts Queenleaf. I agree with you :-D
*would like to hold Zeni's hand while we go through this one more time*

Umm.. Am I the only one who doesn't see where Queenleaf posted?? Is it again problems with board?? *confused*
President Bush has every authority to decide who gets to marry whom. He is the freaking President. What makes gay people feel they are above the law?

Dear Melanie:
Getting bashed with baseball bats--or worse--and watching our attackers' hands get slapped. If that's not above the friggin' law, what the hell is?

To both Patchy and Harvey:
Yes, you would.
Yes, you would.
dubya is a fucking asshole, and can lick the shit in my crack! He has killed many, but it's just our troops, right? It's not like they are people too, eh? They're just some pawns that Bush sends to their death. No biggy. And Harveygoldsmith, you should go and fight alongside our troops! And, if you think gay marriage is wrong, talk to Freddie! I'm sure he would be totally offended. What will happen if gay marriage is legalized? Will Hitler be ressurected, and Bob Saget be funny? It doesn't effect you, so leave them alone!!!
nice.
