Jordon, haven't we run you off yet?

The point that seems to be missed in the furor over "gays should marry" vs. "gays shouldn't marry" is that the court rightly decided that this is not an issue for the courts, but should be decided in the State Legislature.

There was a dissenting judge who didn't see it that way. If the State Legislature passed a law authorizing same sex marriages and the Constitutionality of that law were to be challenged up to the Court of Appeals, would the Court refuse to hear the case citing it's previous decision that the Legislature has the final word on the issue? Such an acid test might just reveal that today's court was overly content with the status quo.

What's wrong with Jordan?

Ibby · 07-07-2006, 11:47 AM

Need I point out this thread?

Jordon is right...we *must* teach our children morality. It is only right to do so. Otherwise, they will grow up in a moral vacuum, bereft of knowledge of how to behave properly.

Of course, this needs to be *my* personal morality that we're teaching them, as I alone hold the keys to right, Truth and all that other stuff...so the rest of you buggers can jolly well go boink yourselves.

Well frankly speaking I know plenty of kids who could be described as moral vacuums who no one would want to touch with a twenty foot pole. They don't have to be copies of the 50's but if they clash too overtly with the current standard they wont get very far. Most professionals dont have the time or patience to deal with poorly raised kids, they just move onto the next one in line. Our lab recently fired a student who constantly pestered the rest of us with adds for his 'current issues' class. Shows that you don't have to be a goth to rub people the wrong way, just couldn't keep things were they belong.

Maybe if homosexuals didn't think it so crucial to "educate" seven year old children, they'd get more sympathy from voters. C'est la vie.

"Plaintiffs have not persuaded us that this long-accepted restriction is a wholly irrational one, based solely on ignorance and prejudice against homosexuals."
JUDGE ROBERT S. SMITH, New York State Court of Appeals, in the majority opinion denying marriage to same-sex couples.

Maybe if

A.) People like YOU weren't so damn bigoted, they wouldnt have to fight to have equal rights

B.) People would give them the equal rights they deserve, people wouldnt need to be taught that gay people are people too.

Poor Jesus... I weep for him. All the shit done in his name, I would just be so sick.

riiiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt Ibram. The only way that little peice of intellectual genius you just regurgitated onto the board could be interpreted is that if only everyone would just agree with you everything would be just peachy. You're showing your age

What? it's pretty simple logic. If gay people were treated the same as straight people, they wouldnt have to fight for their rights.
