Lot of love and tolerance in this thread.
So are you saying your beliefs are not based on the bible or your church? I didn't mean to imply you quoted the bible in that post but your argument (which is riddled with holes) is the exact same argument that evagelical crazies use. I guess I shouldn't assume but it sure seems in line with those thoughts. The main point I was making is that just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to do it. The entire point of freedom is respecting others rights to enjoy their freedom as they see fit. If you want freedom for yourself you have to allow it for all. "Created equal" includes ALL OF US.
So shrimp are ok to eat despite the bible saying no.....you just don't like the taste. So can't you just not worry about gay marriage like you do shrimp?

Actually, there are already movements afoot to change the names of schools that include "Robert E. Lee" in their titles. Dixie County can't be far behind. Not sure what the poor Kappa Alpha fraternity is going to do.
I don't understand this. REL freed all of his family's slaves when he inherited the estate. He only joined the southern forces to protect his home. Why is he racist exactly? Why is the word Dixie racist?

Seriously everybody's beliefs are based on some past code of morality. We agree murder, stealing, lying are wrong.
I am sure that you maintain love thy neighbor, and you don't worship yourself, that integrity and character are things that you want in your offspring.
There are things that were put in place in all civilizations around the world that have worked forever, marriage is one of them....I have not quoted the Bible (love thy neighbor not withstanding), and I am not saying this is solely a Christian issue, but rather a civilization issue...weakening what marriage does not make this country or any country stronger....I am sure that you cherish your wife, and your mother and father, and you realize what protection are in place for your wife and mother if there would be a death to the husband with regard to benefits and status in the law..... they were put in place for the benefit for children and women who spend so much love and time taking care of the children.....no matter what mothers mother children...and it takes away from their career....(being a mother is so much harder than being a father).
Is there not a part of you that gets the idea marriage is bigger than what has been the farce the tv is making it.
I think that saying that marriage is just "OK" because two people love each other is a slippery slope. Polygamy is that next.
Why get married if it is not a special union for the purpose of something greater than ourselves.
Reminds me when I used to go to Hudson, FL to visit my Uncle growing up. All of the trailers I'd see right near him had Confederate flags and a lot of them had UF stuff up as well. Hope he moved out of that dump area.
When you remove the original meaning of a union of a man and a woman to make a complete unit that is able to legitimize the procreation of children, so that the child would have a family unit to thrive in.
When you change that and remove the central tenant of that union, which was for procreation of children, yes you are against the purpose of marriage, or anti-marriage.
Two men or two women cannot by themselves create life together without the help of someone else, hence the reason for the marriage is not therefore compatible with Biology or Anatomy....two subjects that can be studied at most schools.
All it ends up is being a destruction of the family.
Was in Myrtle last weekend and (not surprisingly considering it's Myrtle Beach), there were several confederate flag bikinis and bathing suits (not surprisingly on some fairly obese men and women). Saw a few confederate flags on boats on Wrightsville Beach as well.I was in Homosassa Springs last weekend. Did not see a single black person, but saw numerous rebel flags, one of which was prominently displayed on the main drag with a sign saying, "I'm not coming down" on it. There are truly some pockets of old south left in Florida.

At this point, considering everything that's been said, you just have to look at these social miscreants and shake your head, some people will never get it, either out of simple-minded stupidity or asinine stubborn ignorance.
Trust me, these exceptions would have crushed some ribs. I hope they paid extra bc they were using a lot of fabric. It actually made me laugh that the most ridiculously obese people were the ones wearing the CBF... if the girls had been hot, what a loss for humanity.That said, I'm willing to consider an exception for pretty much anything if it's on a bikini.
Or pride, and an aversion to ignorance like yours.Was in Myrtle last weekend and (not surprisingly considering it's Myrtle Beach), there were several confederate flag bikinis and bathing suits (not surprisingly on some fairly obese men and women).

Ah yes, or that. Must have forgotten.Or pride, and an aversion to ignorance like yours.
And where would that be?Ah yes, or that. Must have forgotten.
We're all entitled to our opinions, but man I really wish you wouldn't stain our garnet and gold colors with that abomination in your avatar -- though on the plus side, it does let me know where you stand.
And where would that be?
Nope. I am for Gay marriage rights and I love shrimp.Apparently with coolguy100
Last time I looked, we are doing quite well in the procreation department, despite the number of gay couples, couples that cannot conceive, couples who choose not to have kids, etc. There are already too many humans on this planet, imagine what it would be like if everyone was making babies left and right.
As for the "destruction of the family", I have a whole lot more respect for a gay couple who love and care for each other and raise a child that they love and care for, than a married heterosexual couple who keep having kids that they do not properly take care of.

Check America birth rate...it ain't so hot....
All parents should take care of their children....but gay couples can not procreate by themselves is the point
If marriage has "worked forever", why is 60% of America divorced?Seriously everybody's beliefs are based on some past code of morality. We agree murder, stealing, lying are wrong.

Don't we have enough people already?Check America birth rate...it ain't so hot....

Actually, while it might seem that way (and did to me for quite a while), to compete with the workforce and productivity of other nations, we're going to need more people (though not hundreds of millions more) to continue to maintain our relative position in the world's economy.Don't we have enough people already?
They are protesting the attack on the flag, by displaying the flag. That is a good thing.Oh look, more brilliant "southerners" showing pride in their "southern heritage", in Oklahoma , who gained statehood 50 years after the Civil War.

Ho hum
I have to disagree with that, but it's probably better suited for it's own thread.Actually, while it might seem that way (and did to me for quite a while), to compete with the workforce and productivity of other nations, we're going to need more people (though not hundreds of millions more) to continue to maintain our relative position in the world's economy.

Without looking it up, saying 60% of America (of legal age) has been divorced doesn't sound that far-fetched as saying 60% of marriages end in divorce. Just my .02
I know it's anecdotal evidence, but out of my three friends that really hung around with in high school, only one is still with his high school sweetheart.......the other two have been divorced, one is going through his second divorce and the other is about to get married a 4th time.
