I'd rather not get into a religious discussion which will just get the thread locked, but if you're actually interested in this issue, I'd be more than happy to continue over pm's. All I'll say here is that the argument you are presenting does not keep church and state separate. A marriage...

Just found this, and thought it was too perfect not to share. ;) BABIES HAPPEN « Pundit Kitchen: Lol News and Lol Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden and more

The short answer is: yes. They completely have the power to do that. It doesn't sound like they want to, which is good, but also tricky. The judges don't want to invalidate all those marriages, but if they pass Prop 8, they will be putting into the state constitution that marriage can only be...

Currently the CA courts are starting hearings to decide whether or not to overturn Prop 8. I'm getting nervous because usually with hearings like this, they try to predict how each judge will vote based on the questions they ask at the hearings. Right now, it sounds like the majority of judges...

You might, Jiro, but look at some of the responses in this thread. Some people clearly don't. And not only do they not question it, but they so fiercely and adamantly believe whatever story they've been shovel-fed that it kind of scares me. I'm sure that some day the truth will come out...

Kind of hard not to be discouraged. It just bothers me that people are so unwilling to question this. They'll come in and offer ridiculous, generally impossible explanations for things, and act like somehow we're crazy conspiracy nuts, but when you ask a simple question, and just present the...

Good post, pathymo. Anyone else following the hearings in SF lately? I'm getting nervous. The whole thing kind of makes me want to throw up...

In this case, they very easily compare. People's rights are people's rights. If I wanted to move to Texas and start a ballot saying that deaf people could only get civil unions, I could easily do so. If I led a completely illegal and misleading campaign that won, and suddenly deaf people could...

Nope, Old Spice. The ladies love it. :naughty:

As far as I know, just a lot of whining as people start realizing how much the cases are going to cost. Hearings start in March, I think. And gosh I'm looking forward to hearing what the "yes on 8" movement will have cooked up by then. :roll:

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: Well if so, that's one of the weakest pick-ups I've heard. Although my gf thinks my hair smells nice too. :D

Right, and he created a thread about civil unions/marriages. I still don't understand why we then aren't supposed to talk about them. In my reply to his post I didn't say anything about discrimination against gays, or rights, or any of that. He posted his views on what he thinks constitutes a...

Well first of all, it's a thread about civil union and marriage. If we're not supposed to talk about them, what's the point? Secondly, what?

Oh no, better tell any couple doing it :buttsex: that their marriage certificate doesn't count. Gotta use the other hole. :roll: Personally, I don't know why I need to have a penis involved in my marriage. If you don't want a penis inside you to validate your marriage, PowerON, then don't...

I think it's fine. I read while walking sometimes. Around the house definitely. I also have to walk down the hill I live on to get to the subway stop, and since it's just straight, on a sidewalk, and there's not a lot of cars, I'll sometimes read on my way down the hill and then on the subway...

Nobody? Buehler? It's starting to look like I'm going to have to go with my "Big Foot did it" explanation of things. Sad. :(

Hey, that's fine, I just believe in ONE HEARING PERSON and ONE HEARING PERSON. That's cool, right? I mean, don't get me wrong, deaf civil unions all the way! :roll: (I mean, it's just my personal view, guys. I think that deaf people are just choosing a lifestyle that I don't agree with...

What I mean is that, to me, cued speech doesn't seem to work like most other languages do. Instead of trying to present "visual" information visually, it tries to present "aural" information visually. It just kind of feels like trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. I feel like there are...

Since my girlfriend and I are planning on teaching our kids sign (one day) :) we had talked about this before. I was thinking maybe do the same sign for "mother", but do one on one side of the chin, and other on the other side of the chin. I figured I would ask someone first, though, and make...

But it seems to me like CS tries to communicate the sounds of one language, but visually, not as the sounds they actually are. So it isn't really communicating language in the same way as other languages, since it's trying to convey one of those methods (sound) by forcing it into another one...
