    If I elect my Representative to one house or the other, I expect him/her to represent my ME, MY STATE, MY VIEWS.

    If someone in Vermont decides to allow a marriage between same sexes, I then am forced to uphold those laws in MY State.

    Is that fair?

    I guess, that's probably why President Bush will take it up with OUR houses, and let them decide for the whole of the Union.

    I'm not against the marriages, but I do draw a line against the anti-discrimination acts trying to be implemented into various States. What happens is, the bill places gays into a "minority" class in order to protect them. Now then...what about the affirmative action? Will we then need to have X amount of gays per straights in the work place?

    which brings me to another question...Will the "feminine" side of a gay marriage get the benefits of being "gay" and of being "the lady of the house"?

    (btw...j/k)

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Don&#39;t worry about it. He has created a new word, plagurized. As and when he supplies a definition then people can post a meaningful reaction.

    Whiterook, the situation you describe happens every day, in every state.

    Are you equally as outraged when a gun from a laxly controlled state ( say Virginia) is used to commit a crime where you live?
    How about when a divorced husband from another state moves to yours but is still forced to pay an onerous alimony that wouldn&#39;t have been imposed in your state?

    States honor other state&#39;s laws.
    Live with it.

    BTW, when this married gay couple moves to your hometown in what specific way are you inconvenienced at all?

    Bring me your .... WASPs. Sorry I thought you were going for something different.

    I believe the concept was originally intended as somewhere between tolerance and acceptance. A new world where a man was judged by his deeds and not by the colour of his sexuality.

    I was only playing "devils advocate" here.... I could really care less what other people do with each other. If that&#39;s all I have to worry about, weather or not two people of the same sex get married, then I guess I&#39;m pretty lucky.


    The point I was trying to make was....

    A marriage in one state is by law, recognized through out the United States. So, if one state says a marriage is lawful, every state must recognize that union.

    Could you explain to me, what your point of a gun crossing state lines to commit a murder, and my statement have in common?

    How about when a divorced husband from another state moves to yours but is still forced to pay an onerous alimony that wouldn&#39;t have been imposed in your state?
    So you feel some bum that doesn&#39;t want to pay for his children, should be able to move out of state to avoid a debt that shouldn&#39;t need a law? (onerous)


    Again, I say.... This isn&#39;t an issue for me, so don&#39;t feel I&#39;m "outraged". It really is mox nix to me. Sry I was bored, and really shouldn&#39;t have posted. Your post made me look as if I&#39;m a bigot, when I&#39;m only an asshole.

    A couple of people have mentioned homosexuality as being "against God".

    How? God is supposed to be the omnipoten sexless one right? If you accept that God created men and women, fine. God created one of each to procreate, etc.

    Why? What was God&#39;s ultimate purpose in creating us? Amusement? What if God was a poof and just threw women in as a social experiment? More fun&#33;

    Unless you can come up with God&#39;s actual reason for creating men and women, you can&#39;t say what is or is not God&#39;s position on the issue.

    MY views and those of MY state call for stricter regulation of the sale of weapons than many others.
    If some bozo who would not be able to purchase a gun here can cross state lines and legally obtain the gun then I guess I just have to live with it.

    BTW, alimony and child support are NOT the same thing.
