Gay Marriage

Fuck you, Bush. And fuck you, reverend jerry falwell.

It is disgusting that this fight is so hard to win. Look at this quote:

"Even if such an amendment makes it to the ballot in 2006, Massachusetts voters will have had two years to see that same-sex marriages pose no threat to society, said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who is gay."

The fact that we have to say pose no threat at all disgusts me. "Crap, they're gay! GET MY GUN!"

Even Howarwd Dean evades the subject--but at least he's not openly anti. While I do think Howard Dean has his faults, on more issues than one, he would be an infinitely better president than Bush. Bush could not be convinced--with a little persuasion, Dean could be convinced to campaign for.

I just can't believe people are so pious that they think "god" cares what you do in your bedroom.

this reminds me of a few jokes on a frank skinner show about gay priests:

"apparantly he is so dedicated to his work that if you peer into the church at night you can see him mouthing hymns"

"the archbishop of cantebury is disgusted at the idea and is quoted as saying "it will open up cracks in the church""

hehe, i find these hilarious

Gay, straight, bi, whatever. The only reason's people really use for caring are religion and/or 'it's unnatural'.

1) NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE does it say gay sex is wrong. NOWHERE.

2) My friend has gay cat's.

I believe these are used as a way to cover a fear of something different from themselves, and in some cases a fear that the person claiming such might be more like them than he/she want's to admit.

Wow. Um. Guess what peopel. Stop fucking spamming threads with your shitty stories--tihs is the discussion forum for DISCUSSION ONLY. It's like this is the first time you've posted on a forum--and if it is, then you should know that you dont spam in a discussion forum. We like to keep it fairly serious, weezix.

The only problem I have with gay marriage is that they call it marriage. Homosexuals should get all the benefits of marriage, if they don't already (I'm not sure. They do in Canada, I think.) but do they HAVE to call it marriage? Because it's not. Marriage is defined as the union of a man and woman and has been defined that way for thousands of years. Can't they call it "life union" or "something union" or hell, even marrige or merriage. It's a stupid little hang up that LOTS of people have. If we could just keep the origional definition of "marriage", I could care less about gays getting hitched.

What I don't understand is that if they are defending the "sanctity of marriage," then why do they let things like divorce exist? Why not go all the way? In the Theology class I was forced to take, divorce hurts marriage just as much as gay marriage does. Then Why? Why must they rescind logic?

*Disclaimer* Don't get on me about divorce. This is a thread on gay marriage.

well sorry for trying to lighten up the topic

I'm sorry weezix, but don't act indignant. 8bit is a failry intelligent community, and everytime we have a revamp, all the new people have to get used to not spamming, not being an idiot, etc.

Not saying you're an idiot. But so man ypeople come in here thinking this is rantforums (the absolute dumbest forum on the internet).

i just thought it would be a good idea to add a bit of humour to the place, i know this is an intelligent community (im part of it...lol), but arent the 8-bit comics supposed to be humourus?? and i like those jokes!

weezix, the discussion forum is for discusison. Locke's an asshoel who will jsu tyell at you for spamming, as well as opening threads that start with strings of profanity, but don't follow his example.

Jokes and satire are amusing, but if you don't have something directly related to the topic at hand, its spamming in this forum.

spamming rules in the discussion forum are stricter then elsewhere.
