Zoot Soup

I think marriage should be defined as one man and one woman that are not directly related. That excludes everything that does not fit that above definition.

So what options would you give homosexual couples that want to marry? Or would you just say "tough"?

Just so we're clear here LBBC, do you believe gays should have the right to marry?

So brothers and sisters are not born brothers and sisters?

 

And first off before your read any further I AM NOT COMPARING THE TWO BUT RATHER TO POINT OUT TO ZOOT SOMETHING IN HIS LAST SENTENCE.

 

There is a group of pedophiles out there that are claiming they are born with a natural attraction to kids. In essence they are born that way. Forget what it is called but I am sure someone on here will post it.

There is a difference between having a sister and being physically attracted to your sister.

I honestly don't doubt that there are pedophiles who are born with an inclination to be near children. There difference here is that their dispositions are a danger to others.

What possible health reasons for brother and sister to being married? Notice I said married and not reproducing. Cause they can do that whether they are married or not.

The problem is that no one really views incest as OK or normal. There are not large groups of folks who claim they were born incestual.

No, you are----don't even assume that I was going in the direction of animals and inanimate objects. I care about children...and I think it is a fair concern.

That would be the next progression to your "slippery slope". I'm concerned about children also, but I think having two gay parents is becoming more and more accepted in our society so the stigma will just get smaller and smaller. It only helps to have depictions of this on network TV like on "Modern Family".

I am with you here. I was going to head this direction next. How do you stop the slippery slope? Is there a way to make it clearly defined, or can it continue to change with whatever the loudest part of society is shouting? How about the ages of people in the marriage/union?

Or between humans and animals? Or between humans and inanimate objects? You're over-reaching here.

Say what you want, but homosexuality is an abomination. I have friends and family who are gay, but I do not condone what they do, as they also know I do not hate them for being gay. They CHOSE that lifestyle.

That's fine. I respect your opinion. While I don't agree with you, you're free to have those beliefs. But you're STILL straying from the main question. Why shouldn't gays be allowed to marry? Sinful people get married all the time. Heck, I was at a wedding this past weekend that didn't mention God once in the ceremony, but managed (not kidding) to work in "nacho cheese" and "Van Wilder".

Taking the Bible out of the equation, please tell me why gays shouldn't be allowed to marry.

a for someone saying they are born gay, bull, God would not allow someone to be born gay, they have a choice.

 

As for gay couples with kids, what kid doesnt want to see his dads/moms kissing each other and huggd up, real manley/lady like and so morally wrong.

Ok, regardless if you think it's a choice or not, why can't they get married?

Just started reading "The Future of Power" by Robert Nye.

I don't understand why we got bogged down in scripture when addressing this issue. We wouldn't have a problem with a heterosexual devil-worshipping couple to get married, so why can't gays?

While Maysville will never be confused with a metropolis; there are several things it has going for it; being the biggest little town within 50 miles in any direction and having Ohio River bridge access.

 

Like a lot of small river towns, Maysville seems to struggle keeping its downtown vibrant.

And that's a shame. I recently walked around downtown Maysville and never realized how beautiful and historic is was.

Poor public transportation.

Michael Savage cares more for the US than most of the BGP posters, at least he isnt afraid to make someone mad and speak his opinion. Maybe over the top at times, but he tells it how he feels it.

:lol:

People do speak their opinions on here and they do make you (and others) mad. You just happen to agree with Savage and that makes him a patriot in your book.

Not going to read the whole thread, just throw my two cents in. Regardless of what the Bible does or doesn't say, we people will be gay. I don't care if you believe its a choice or they're born that way- they do exist. Not allowing them to marry isn't going to make them go away. So, I ask, why won't we let them marry? At this point, it just seems like we're stripping rights away from Americans based on sexual practices.

Impressive we've got 2 pages and the draft doesn't start for another 3 hours.

I think it will be #10.

Kings will get #10 and John Salmons.

Bucks get Beno Udrih and #9

It's being said that Charlotte will actually get #7.

I used to buy 3-4 boxes (mainly baseball) a year. Haven't opened any up for probably 7-8 years. How much do they run these days?

I never buy super expensive ones. This one was about $70. A lot of times I'll go on ebay and buy a couple boxes from a few years ago for cheaper. I just wanted this one because it will have the UK guys.

:thumb: Very nice

Got a box of 2010-2011 Panini Prestige I'm going to open up. I only buy one box a year and it's to celebrate NBA Draft night.

As for me, I've got a yearly ritual on draft night. I buy wings and a box of basketball cards. I eat and open packs all night.

Draft Express says a big trade is about to go down.

He was over two times the legal drinking limit...driving 130 MPH...had 27 previous traffic violations.

 

I'd say he was lucky to make it this long and the world is lucky that he didn't kill someone else.

:thumb:

Came out today that he was drunk and driving over 130mph.

Yes. And a big reason is character and aptitude.

I'm not getting into the Obamacare debate. I'm simply saying that what he did was incredibly selfish, and stupid.

Right, but that's not really the issue here. The issue is why he did it.
