Polygamist handle problem in their community? You're stereotyping you know. Do you really believe there is only Polygamy in certain religious orders?
How again am I doing that? I'm not talking about just Mormons. I've referenced a family of "witches" (their personal label), this group on this board as poly-amorous, and having lived abroad in cultures where it was legal, I can say that Jains, Hindus, Muslims, and more have polygamous marriage.
Did I mention Mormons?
Do you not think there are just independent regular people not affiliated with any group or religion who practice polygamy?
Don't take offense - its just how I see it. To me - you keep putting things in society programmed "neat little boxes".
Like when you said - what if a man saw his wife with some hot young guy. Why not just another guy? Why not an older guy? Why does it have to be a hot young guy?

I really only wrote back because I saw that you posted and didn't want to seem a rude pup. I'm more excited about the Alex Jones thing at the moment.
I just wanted you to better understand me. If I was overly "flavorful" or pristine it was in presenting an argument that I'm currently "thinking over" and not really "set" in my own head. I can say that right now I don't think I am for polygamy, but my internal jury is only out, it hasn't come back in yet.
Thanks for the back and forth. *smiles again*
Now, back to the Alex Jones debacle...

So, it's in the works. If and when DOMA is struck down, it will then open the door to striking down anti-gay marriage laws in the remaining States.
Two tax paying adults who both understand what they are getting into is vastly different than an adult and someone who thinks Spongebob lives in the TV. What's more it is really an insult to even compare the two! Pedophilia is the most disgusting abhorrent act that defies the larger Natural Law that the adult must protect the young. Having dealt with people who have been harmed in that manner I can tell you that it is vastly, vastly different. A child doesn't have a choice when a bigger person tries to force themselves upon them, nor do a lot of the animals that get wrangled into sickness.

Obviously these laws are religion based, but isn't it time they should be re evaluated?

Absolutely, what a wild and idiotic comparison! Two adults deciding to be together in whatever kind of relationship, is based on equality. But animals and children are forced, they don't choose to be involved in sexual relationships with adult humans. It is sick and it's damaging to them.
I have never understand the debat about permitting gays to get married, or why a man or woman shouldn't be able to have more than one spouse. If all adults agree, then who cares? Why should the state make such personal decisions? Obviously these laws are religion based, but isn't it time they should be re evaluated?

I just hope the Polygamist get to have as many partners as they want now, and the pedophiles get to lower the legal age of consent to 13, and let’s not leave out those who practice beastality.
Its all normal rght?

NO Religion in government - Period.
For all those who automatically choose to label me Atheist. I am a member of the "Center for Spiritual Living". Formerly Religious Science/Science of mind (not Christian Science - not Scientology). I was raised Christian - by choice I am not. I find it to be a man-made religion for political control.
I hope the lawsuits result in gay marriage being declared legal by the supreme court.

happy? Hope so

No one has told you to sit at the back of the bus Jaxon no one sees you hailing a cab and says Look gay to me and drives off unless you send some ques no one even knows. Gays are not discriminated against in the Job Market in fact they make more money than their hetero sexual counterpart, Gays are not turned away in the halls of academia, in fact they are more educated than their hetero counterpart. Gays date any race they want as many varieties they want a week that they want. So No, Your in correct.

Back of the bus, no. Have I been nailed with a bottle in the head just for leaving a Gay Owned business? Yep! Got the scars from the fifteen stitches to prove it! And no, it wasn't a bar, it was a restaurant and in broad daylight! And there are many areas in this country where employment can be denied based solely on sexual preference.
Originally posted by Stylez
The argument was posed by Jaxon when he said he was hit by a bottle when coming out of a gay bar, someone I think it was driving by, threw a bottle hitting him in the head.
Jaxon thinks this is equivalent to the civil rights struggle Blacks in this country have. Hell, doesn’t even know who threw the bottle much less if they were a gay hating bigot, knew Jaxon was because he had is Gay Pride Tee shirt on emblazoned on a rainbow across his chest. For all he knows, it could have been a jealous ex-lover of someone Jason was seeing or any number of things.

I was hit in the head with a bottle while coming out of a gay owned restaurant during lunch hours, and (pardon me mods) the ignorant coward that threw it screamed 'Die faggot' as he and his ignorant buddy drove away. As to what I was wearing, a black 'Blair Witch Project' tee shirt and jeans. By the way, it may have been gay owned, and in a gay section of town, but plenty of straight people eat there all the time.

How'd he know you are gay Jaxon? Does the restaraunt have a sign saying Proprietor is gay? I don't recall the "die faggot part but the added embellishment still doesn't prove Gays are a suspect class. You need more than hearsay my friend and the other guy isn't here to defend himself so none of it matters to me as it wouldn't in court and YOU know it
Originally posted by JaxonRoberts
The police report, the witnesses and the nasty little scar are more than hearsay
Originally posted by Stylez
Now their is a police report and witnesses! Ha ha this hate crime gets more interesting all the time! But it still doesn't prove you're a suspect class and it is STILL hearsay Jaxon Roberts.
How about the Judgement? Was he convicted? I assume not because THAT is more compelling than a lousy police report so I'd assume you'd have mentioned it.

Happy? Nah...never happy at hate talk and incitement. Still, nothing to do with me. You will be accountable for your hatred, if not by the authorities then at your accounting before God. Good luck.
As for God, what would YOU know about God that he hasn't given explicit instructions on you can claim are under no such accountability for yourself.

The entire rest of your post was just a never ending string of ad hominems and straw men, and completely irrelevant to the topic of the thread... Which is the law and the Constitution in regards to Gay Marriage, not your personal distain of homosexual behavior and lifestyles...
Let's deal with that statement in two parts.

Try as I might, that sentence makes no sense whatsoever to me. Are there missing words or something?
I wouldn't think it would, when you still think marriage is an equal rights argument and gay means species of specially protected humans who can't be known without mention they have sex between same sex partners.
Not when you believe marriage means a sexual oriented union between any number of creatures and various sexual perversions deserving of Government Backed Bennies and perks and any other definition comes from homophobic haters and bigots.
No I don't suspect you would understand but that isn't my fault,.
As for God, what would YOU know about God that he hasn't given explicit instructions on you can claim are under no such accountability for yourself.
TextWhat an idiotic comparison? No, WRONG, YOU mean what an idiotic interpretation. READ THE POST!
TextYour argument is then made moot when xtrozero says and i quote" Pedophiles lower the legal age consent laws" This isn't something he condones obviously and as sickened by it as you say you are, MY question would be, then why are so many in the gay lobby trying to do pass this very legislation? Why is NAMBLA members who are ALL gay, attempting to lower age of consent laws so they can have their man boy love.
