Title: United States "Defense of Marriage Act" is unconstitutional Post by: Jason on June 26, 2013, 08:16:51 AM http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/26/19151971-supreme-court-strikes-down-defense-of-marriage-act-paves-way-for-gay-marriage-to-resume-in-california?lite
Good for now, but the state has no business in marriage. The ideal endgame should be the removal of any and all state influence over the practice. Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Mendota Heights on June 26, 2013, 09:00:39 AM Yep.
Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Bean Bag on June 26, 2013, 06:36:14 PM Screw marriage.... did you guys hear what else the Supreme Court ruled?!
The Supreme Court also decided that the "N_WORD" now applies to all people. Something along the lines "it's discrimination to say that a white b-tch can't be a N_WORD." It's "wrong" to not say "A Hispanic man can't be a N_WORD." And yes... believe it or not "it's bigotry" - thanks to the Supreme Court -- to not be able to call a middle class, white man... a N_WORD. :wall Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Alex on June 30, 2013, 09:34:23 PM http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/26/19151971-supreme-court-strikes-down-defense-of-marriage-act-paves-way-for-gay-marriage-to-resume-in-california?lite Good for now, but the state has no business in marriage.

I'm glad at least half the justices are living in the 21st century. Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Alex on June 30, 2013, 09:39:41 PM ....double post...slow internet...

I'm glad at least half the justices are living in the 21st century. 21st century... "... public approval of the court has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded in more than nine years of polling." http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/supreme_court_update Hmmm. Is this a byproduct of the justices "living in the 21st century" as you put it? As gov't meddles more n' more into every aspect of religious/personal/human existence, and the courts rule on it -- then yes, I have to assume this will be the result. Welcome to the 21st century. Good this is? >:D http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/26/19151971-supreme-court-strikes-down-defense-of-marriage-act-paves-way-for-gay-marriage-to-resume-in-california?lite Sure. But they ARE involved in it -- marriage and everything else. Sometimes laws actually LIMIT their meddling. Reference: Bill of Rights.Good for now, but the state has no business in marriage.

You don't really need that 2nd amendment, now do you my boy? Duh... which one's that? Bear arms. What could you possible want with a set of bear arms? Huh... that's purrty funny. But I think I'd like to keep my guns. Fools! You bitter clingers!! **POOF!** Disappears in a cloud of smoke... Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Jason on July 01, 2013, 01:16:19 PM See, I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what my rights are. I have the right to my life, my liberty, and my property as well as defense against those who would seek to infringe upon them.

Well, that "piece of paper" guarantees that you don't need a piece a paper to prove that you have rights. It guarantees that those rights are inherent. Those rights that you think you have, you only have them here. Try espousing those rights somewhere else, like in Iran, then tell me you know what your rights are then. I have no issues with anybody marrying the person they love, no matter gender, but religious denominations who do not believe in it should not be made to perform or accept them. There is the "Justice of the Peace" to assume that duty, and that is a State function. What is discrimination and what is not, will be the crucial piece here as the Same Sex Marriage debate goes on.Title: Re: United States \ Post by: Alex on July 05, 2013, 09:00:28 AM That's right.

Why bear arms when you could arm bears instead? |
