North Carolina bans same sex marriage

[logroller]

Don't blame the gay community for heterosexual divorce rates.

Lifetime commitment is but one tenet of marriage; if I were looking for someone to blame it'd be the suffragists. I'm not however. I'm merely stating what marriage once was, no longer is...for better or worse. But to return to the commitment tenet, or rather, lack of, I'd say marriage is worse off, but society is better off because it. That's why I favor doing away with marriage altogether. Have it like any other partnership; that's really all it is anymore.

BTW, have you ever met ANYONE who regularly pronounces it "tomahto"? I never have.

Ever.

No, just Tow Mater.

No doubt, no doubt , far fewer divorces back when it was acceptable for a man to show his wife the back of his hand.........

Charlie Sheen can make a "porn family". Kelsey Grammar ended his 15 year relationship over the phone. Larry King has had 8 divorces. Kim Kardashians marriage cost ten million dollars and lasted 72 days. Newt Gingrich had affairs while both his first and second wives were ill. Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage. 43-50% of traditional marriage end in divorce.

Yet, somehow same sex marriage is going to destroy the institution? I don't think so.

Since no link was given, we all assume you wrote this. But I must ask as an administrator - did YOU write these words, or once again have you "borrowed" them from elsewhere?

Fuck you bitch... Thought I wouldn't see that post didn't you..........




Note to Dorothy: ^^ That's how you handle Jim when he's being his usual dick self.

Yeah, I kinda figured it would pass over and you would miss it. Since it didn't work out that way, I'll take my words back and rephrase - fuck you!!

Sounding like a truculent, spittle-spraying 7-year-old is how you "handle" Jim?

What makes you think you can "handle" anything" this way?

It's never worked for little windy, why would it work for you... for a change?

Because Jim and I actually get along pretty well. because we understand each other, take a shot, give a shot. That's Dorothy's biggest problem here she wants to give shots without receiving any.

Since there was no reply to this, I'll give a source for the PLAGIARIZED comments that WS tried to once again pass off as her own:

Dear uptight homophobic people,

Charlie Sheen can make a "porn family," Kelsey Grammar can end a 15 year marriage over the phone, Larry King can be on divorce number nine, Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage, and Jesse James and Tiger Woods, while married, were having sex with EVERYONE. Yet, the idea of same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really?

Your right, Wind. Liberals make sucky spouses.

Newt has changed his ways, unless you think he is a liar. I don't.

Then the Pope has got some explaining to do.

Perhaps I could sub for him here ???

It is absolutely of issue. The constant whining that homosexuals are somehow "discriminated against" any more than any other groups, is the purest bunkum, as I have pointed out.

You can have something, half sibling aside, that they cannot. A contractual relationship with someone they love.

A presumption rapidly approaching obsolescence as more and more studies find minimal risk of birth defects or other health problems resulting from sexual relations between close relations.

Well, that pretty well covers you and your cousin but... If a law restricting your freedoms is based on old information and is thus outdated, work to change it rather than just throwing up your arms and living with it.

But since you brought up the subject, would you like to examine the frequency of health problems resulting from "sexual" relations (producing or not producing offspring) between members of the same sex, compared to the frequency of health problems resulting from sexual relations (producing or not producing offspring) between close relations?

The farther this thread goes, the more reasons to not allow "marriage" between same-sex partners come up.

Not from my end. I prefer no laws related to the marriage especially at the Federal level. Besides, if they can't get married do you think they're just going to go away?

[fj1200]

Remind me again... what percentage of states does it take to ratify an amendment to the **U.S.** Constitution? (since the issue is apparently not going to go away any time soon?)

That would be a stupid amendment.

I dont care about the ban either way but, I dont understand why they had to punish children who's mothers were UNwed for one reason or another. Now 1 million children in NC will no longer have health care because of this stupid law

Welcome aboard; glad to have you around. Not quite following your post though. Does this law prevent an insured father from listing his dependent children on his health insurance?

It appears you do care about it but how do 1mm children lose HC because of it?
