Same-sex marriage banned in North Carolina.... what posters are affected????????

[muldoon]

Kind of like what was universally seen as disgusting and amoral 100 years ago is now accepted by more than half.

Like civil rights for minorities or mixed marriages?

[Vitooch]

Loving? Why shouldn't hate filled unions be allowed?

What are you talking about?

[MoneyLineDawg]

Don't really care either way if gays can marry or not.....Just find it sad how so many people can be so openly against it and legitmately happy it didn't pass

Anyone on SBR that is openly against gay marriage should also be happy about the USA cracking down on sports betting on the internet

Sick of the hypocrisy in the republican party.....Complain about liberals controlling your lives in some ways but support certain laws that restrict others' freedom??? (Not a democrat fan either, but repubs bother me more lately)

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Was thinking more like abortion, homosexuality, etc.

100 years ago, you'd be seen as a god awful person if you get an abortion. Now, some women put star tattoos on their back bragging essentially about how many kids they have aborted. What a society we live in.

[Mr KLC]

100 years ago, society would vilify you for having sex before marriage.

[Sam Odom]

Ignorant MFers on here

US Constitution says nothing, ZERO, about 'marriage' - Therefore Feds should have no say so

I for one am opposed to abortion. I would never want the mother of my child to commit such an act. I would rather take care of the child myself than for her to come to such a drastic ultimatum. With that being said, I support gay marriage because it is not what I perceive as innately evil.

I don't think anyone in here thinks the Feds should. We are more upset that there exists a region in the United States in 2012 where the majority of voters are eager to ban same sex marriage

Exactly.....

In fact I don't even mind people being against gay marriages.....They have that right. But if you are openly against it, you should NEVER complain about the Democrats trying to take away your freedom. Don't be a hypocrite

[crustyme]

I wonder if things that society views as disgusting now will be accepted in 50-100 years. Kind of like what was universally seen as disgusting and amoral 100 years ago is now accepted by more than half.

chargebacking and stiffing pts are immoral yet you do them all the time.

typical neo-con.... "do as i say, not as i do."

you are wrong IMO about no one would want the Feds to intervene - However , the point of my post is if the Feds have no US Constitutional right[s] then it is up to each state to decide.

Beside... National organized Gay Groups use 'marriage' as a wedge issue to attack religion - that is why they are so adamant in having that word, marriage, in their bills

[CarpeDime]

You act as if this country was established to allow men to tickle other men's buttholes. I don't see in the constitution where it says homosexuals should get benefits designed for a man and woman in marriage, but if you find it let me know.

exactly

show me in the Constitution where it says a man should be allowed to make love within the buttoces of another man

show me in the Bible where God says yes a man should eye the hind quarters of another man and enter his member within it

show me those things and we'll be cool with gay marriage

if not, hey guy in a dress, your out of luck, maybe give it a go with the socialests in Europe, there pretty un-Godly, they might go for it, who knows

[agharah1]

Totally and completely irrelevant. What you think of someone else's rights doesn't matter. That's why they're called rights.

[muldoon]

You said the same thing in 2004?

Of course he didnt..

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[muldoon]

Bible also endorses slavery and says trimming the sides of your hair and eating shellfish are abominations - right alongside homosexuality.

Up next...Red Lobster & Supercuts to be picketed by these buffet christians

[MUHerd37]

Liberals don't seem to understand the difference between federal and state powers.

[mh217]

[Sam Odom]

muldoon , what's your point ?? If Obama came out and said he wanted to amend the US Constitution about anything I would say go ahead and try it

[muldoon]

My point is that people (on both sides) tend to relax their views towards the constitution when it serves their own biases.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Liberals don't seem to understand the difference between federal and state powers.

I'm pretty sure everyone understands them....States rights are correct for this issue and most others, I think many liberals are just upset about the fact that certain people from some states are so against it

[Sam Odom]

Mayan has to be the least literate poster here...

From muldoon's link:

President Bush endorsed a constitutional amendment Tuesday that would restrict marriage to two people of the opposite sex but leave open the possibility that states could allow civil unions.

"The union of a man and a woman is the most enduring human institution, honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith," Bush said.


Obama should come out tomorrow and say let's try to put gay marriage in the US Constitution by amending it

[Vitooch]

Liberals don't seem to understand the difference between federal and state powers.

Once again, I am not arguing that the federal government should intervene in this social issue and pass legislation. I am more so disappointed in the inconsistencies of conservative thinking.

[King Mayan]

Sammy what the fukk you talking about dumbfukk??

Mayan , you are not able to carry on a coherent discussion

Apples v Bananas

I said the Feds have no Right to intervene under the current US Constitution - It has not changed since Bush so I would've said the same back then.

Bush wanted to change/amend the US Constitution so the Feds WOULD HAVE standing to intervene

[MUHerd37]

I don't think anyone in here thinks the Feds should. We are more upset that there exists a region in the United States in 2012 where the majority of voters are eager to ban same sex marriage

A region? California and North Carolina not in the same region. When put to the voters, gay marriage has always failed. Conservatives hate when the federal government steps into our lives. However, we understand that state and local government has more power with this kind of stuff. Also, this is not even the government taking more control of our lives. The voters passed it. I'm tired of shit like the voters of California banning gay marriage only to have some judge overrule the people.

To me it's not inconsistent. It's federal vs state.

[Sam Odom]

MUHerd37 , It is just their liberalism/socialism ... the more controlling and bigger the Centralized Govt the better

[Vitooch]

To me it's not inconsistent. It's federal vs state.

My argument is that the same Conservative who supports this bill is the same Conservative that supports the right to bear arms, possess alcohol, and partake in gambling, when they are all fundamentally the same issue.
