Now if you allow polygamy - and it's practice is based on "being treated with respect and equality" who is to enforce this? That being said - this is getting way off course on the discussion. I haven't really even heard the gay rights issue being brought up in the debates too much. Quote:

Before that, I think it would be a good idea for Bush and Martin to repair strained US-Canada relations. Then we could be great allies again, and along with Britain, call for all the human rights violating countries to get kicked out of the UN. Or we could do both things simultaneously.

This is a bit off topic though. I'm going to see if someone has started a UN thread yet.

The US and France - aren't on the best of terms. Although I have heard rumors that we are allowing them to bid in the Iraq contracts because of their terrorist help during the holidays. As I said before "You scratch our back - we scratch yours".

Hm. We're still not on topic, but I did start a UN thread.
Would I be right to say that - you'll vote for Bush in the next election (is it this year or next year) - you think he will win. If true, how much do you think his father and other connections have to do with his initial success?

Under your arguments - anyone who isn't allowed to do what they want is discriminated against. Not everyone gets to do everything they want. You seem to see things as black and white - "if you are against gay marriages - then you are anti-gay". I see things in shades of gray and not all the same - "if you are against gay-marriage, you are not necessarily anti-gay". I would like to hear people's views on WHY they are against gay marriage before LABELING them as anti-gay. Quote:
However, I would like to point out that I did not say whites or blacks. I said minority and interracial. That can go for any race mixing with another. I'm sorry - but A LOT of races, not just white - do not like to mix. In Japan - they do not like to mix with other races. You automatically brought it to mean black versus white. Quote:

I agree with you that not agreeing with gay marriage as in "Holy matrimony" isn't anti-gay. Since it is religious, churches should be allowed to decide which marriages they would like to bless - not just gay, but all marriages. Some churches do want to bless same-sex marriages, which I think is fine too.

It's a state issue anyway - where it should be. The federal government should not be getting involved until the states start working things out.

Ignoring (not rudely, just thinking of the Democratic candidates... ) all the posts above me..... I just read the front page section breakdown of the Democratic candidates, in the Sunday, Indianapolis Star. I believe I'd vote for Edwards as it stands now. His veiws seemd somewhat similar with mine, and they also seemed real, in the sense of going in and trying to improve what's already done, not trying to rewrite the book. I've just read everything once through though, and I do tend to go with a intuitive feeling as I read "facts". Ok...I like what I've read and I get good vibes from Edwards!
I've always voted democrat in the presidential elections (when I voted, sometimes I didn't vote because I didn't care for any of the candidates) I now have my ears pricked up. Sorry for the interuption, I'll try to go back and see what you all are posting about now.

They also say that the party tends to bring in party members from different states to get the results they want. But I have to laugh at what one woman who was interviewed said. "I'll vote for whatever candidate the caucus chooses".

I just wanted to say that if you think there's nothing wrong with polygamy you should read a book called "Under the Banner of Heaven." I actually do live in Utah, though I'm not Mormon, and Polygamy is a real issue here. Most of the instances with Polygamy, the GIRLS are married at ages younger than 15. If their husbands die, and if they live in a polygamous community, such as Colorado City, they are veiwed as property and just passed along to the next husband. I think you should consider the girls who are being raped, prejudiced against because of their gender, and brainwashed that their families are going to go to Hell if they don't get married before you say you think this should be legal.
