Gays cannot procreate. Marriage is about procreation. End of discussion. Marriage is not about tax breaks or health benefits. It's the height of hypocrocy that liberals (yes, liberals, admit who you are) want to take away cars and put a $5 per gallon tax on gas so that no one can drive, but they say that the government doesn't belong in the bedroom.

I don't believe that the Bible talks about gay marriage. I think it only talks about Gay sex. I could be wrong, though.

Actually, all ASSS zones.

Adia I do believe I failed you Adia I know I let you down don't you know I tried so hard to love you in my way it's easy let it go... Adia I'm empty since you left me trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone to see where we went wrong 'cause there's no one left to finger there's no one here to blame there's no one left to talk to honey and there ain't no one to buy our innocence 'cause we are born innocent believe me Adia, we are still innocent it's easy, we all falter does it matter? Adia I thought we could make it but I know I can't change the way you feel I leave you with your misery a friend who won't betray I pull you from your tower I take away your pain and show you all the beauty you possess if you'd only let yourself believe that we are born innocent believe me Adia, we are still innocent it's easy, we all falter, does it matter? believe me Adia, we are still innocent 'cause we are born innocent Adia we are still it's easy, we all falter ... but does it matter?

We're not denying them something they already have. We're not letting them do something new. If there were any perfect examples, there would be no debate, would there? I happen to be a firm believer in both. But we are not talking about creation. If you want to know my opinions on that, just ask me in game sometime. Again, we're not talking free will. You, not being a Christian, do not fully understand free will and God's influence. Some Christians do not, so it's not discrimination It goes something like this though (this is an oversimplified version): you choose who you vote for, but God chooses who everyone else votes for. The wedlock thing, for one. There are plenty of other statistics if you enjoy those. Gay marriage effects straight marriage. That's why it's a bad idea. It weakens an already difficult thing. Statistically speaking, children not born into marriage do not do as well.

Wrong. It's not descrimination. That's like saying it's descrimination against color when you don't let ANYONE do something. Totally insane to call it descrimination. Let me be clear here, we are not discussing the act of gay sex. We're talking about the ability of two men (or two women) to marry each other. Sex and the morality of sex doesn't need to be factored in. The morality of gay sex depends on your religion, the wrongness of gay marriage need not. Of course it's possible to believe in creation and also evolution. Evolution does not explain creation. The universe cannot create itself, you know. Metaphysics 101. That God wanted him to be president can be proved logically. Let me prove it by contradiction. If God had not wanted him to be president, he would not be. Q. E. D. I'm not talking about what marriage has been contorted to do in some cases, I'm talking about it's purpose. It was created to rear children. No other structure has been as effective in producing stable children. That is why we have it around. Huh? Nothing exists without changing its surroundings. If it exists, it will change things. It is my opinion that it will change things for the worse. There was some country (norway, sweeden or finland, I think) that allowed gay marriage a while back, since then, the out of wedlock birth rate went up some mind blowing amount. That's evidence that gay marriage hurts.

Can you say castration, dav?

That's like saying outlawing gambling discriminates against people with a gambling addiction. It prevents all people from gambling, not just those who are most likely to. Lets just keep our facts straight. Not allowing single sex marriage is not discrimination. We can still talk about if it's a good thing or not, but it's not discrimination.

Dav, how is denying men from marrying men discrimination against gays? We don't let straigts marry same sex, either. Sexual preference doesn't enter into it at all. About the Adam and Eve thing: Obviously their children married. Zeke: That just shows how little you know. No one thinks of Bush as a messiah. Previous presidents quoted the bible far more than presidents do today. Vile: The concept of marriage has only one purpose in human society, It's for the conception and raising of children. Allowing gays to participate makes no sense. "If the parts don't fit, you can't commit"

Washington, Adams, and Regan weren't !@#$%^&*inated. And it's not like people haven't tried for Bush or anything.

And another:

Here's one:

If I could have the world and all it owns A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones If all the earth were mine to hold With wealth my only goal I'd spend my gold on selfish things Without the love that Your life brings Just a little bit more is all I'd need 'Til life was torn from me I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand Though rich or poor I may be Faith can see right through the cir!@#$%^&*stance Sees the forest in spite of the trees Your grace provides for me If I should walk the streets no place to sleep No faith in promises You keep I'd have no way to buy my bread With a bottle for my bed But if I trust the One who died for me Who shed His blood to set me free If I live my life to trust in You Your grace will see me through I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand Though rich or poor I may be Faith can see right through the cir!@#$%^&*stance Sees the forest in spite of the trees If I could have the world If I could have the world and all it owns

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to p!@#$%^&* over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. --Litany Against Fear

As a suporter of banning gay marriage, I appologize for the previous poster.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic thread. Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster.

As a zone creator, I factor lameness into my settings. I take account of it. However, my legislators do not figure my figuring into their rules, and usually outlaw what I would consider perfectly acceptable things.

Pretty kitty!

Real zone money.

Monty, you just made yourself look like an idiot. Everyone else but Akai can probably see it. Because you're dominating the thread and don't make sense, I'm out again. Cya in a few threads.

One to five degrees in 100 years? I think we humans can handle that even as we are now. No evolution required. Evolution works as fast as it needs to.

And all that carbon in the atmosphere just magically appeared there for it to absorb? As long as the speed of change is spread out over many years, nothing especially bad will happen (Don't take this as an admission that we're changing the earth, we're not). Uh huh. The whole global warming idea has been discounted. Incorrect. Sure it is. Wrong. So you say that the science is questionable and ask what the ramifications are in the same breath? That's like Rather saying the do!@#$%^&*ents were forged but we should look into the questions anyway. No, it's not. Did it now? I didn't say it would be bad for the enviorment. I said it wouldn't help. It lets developing countries with more polluting rights sell some of their unused pollution to countries that need more. It means we pollute as much as we do today, and the 3rd worlds get rich off of making the enviorment just as bad as it is now (again, !@#$%^&*uming there is a problem). Look up nuclear fission.

Let us take the fact that oil is a fossil fuel for granted. It's probably not, but "there is near-unanimous agreement amongst climatologists and other scientists" that it is. Let us also take all the laws of physics and chemistry to be true as well. Especially the ones concerning the conservation of m!@#$%^&* and atoms. What does a fossil fuel mean? Well, it means that over the course of a very long time, energy was transformed from prehistoric muck to oil. How did that prehistoric muck get there? Well, marshes absorbed CO2 and other "dangerous" g!@#$%^&*es from the enviorment. By burning fossil fuel, we cannot create more CO2 than there was absorbed in prehistoric times. This is a fact derived from the two statements above. We cannot raise the temperature above what was in prehistoric times with only fossil fuels. Also, how to you explain the fact that it was hotter in midevil times than it is today? And don't give me global dimming bull !@#$%^&*. You guys are all spouting about how evolution is such a good thing, so wouldn't some extra heat be a good thing? Kill off some of those weaker species? First off, the evidence for global warming is very distorted. It's a political issue used by anti-capitalists. Oil is the fuel of the free market, and if they can take it away, they deal capitalism a huge blow. Second, there is no where near "near-unanimous agreement" on this issue. Far from it. Get out from behind your leftist wall and smell the fresh air once in a while. This is not an insult. This is a request. Third, the science that goes into most global warming research is questionable at best. The fact is that most scientists do not understand dynamic systems. Not that I can blame them for this, after all, if they did understand dynamic systems, they'd be making a !@#$%^&* of a lot of money in another field rather than wasting their time with something that's obviously stable. Most people don't look beyond the obvious. This is especially true when the obvious helps your political goals. Let us never forget that global warming is a political issue and not a scientific issue. There has been enough research to cast serious doubts on the whole thing, but no one ever hears about it, because it is a POLITICAL issue and there's no question as to where the mainstream media falls. That extreme event, the one that killed the dinosaurs. The one that put us into an ice age that we're just coming out of. Remeber that one? You said yourself it was an extreme event. You said yourself it was not normal. We're still not out of it. You'd have the earth STOP warming? S!@#$%^&*, Kyoto is a joke. Read up on what the ramifications are. Most 3rd world countries earn money by signing it. If global warming is a problem, then Kyoto will not fix it. It will only make the underdeveloped countries rich at "the enviorment's expense" (I don't think humans can harm the enviorment, but that makes the whole treaty useless).
