It's said by 2011, there will be 2000 jobs added.

My pops just went back to Los Angeles and he's dismayed at what he saw yesterday... Gays 'n lesbos flooding the marriage centers in downtown L.A.

[Yeager]

dude, kill the bug.

[Flatbar]

Let him know that we rebelled against the British, the 18th amandment was repealed, women can drive as well as vote and the Japanese are our friends now.

Progress happens, some just haven't learned how to deal with it very well.

I Just don't see why your pops has to get upset over something that has nothing to do with his life...

Unless of course he was getting molested by these people, then I can understand his dismay.

The Black Plague was an economic boon to the coffin makers in Europe.

Doesn't always make it a good thing.

Maybe it's really upsetting for those who were born and raised in 2nd half or 3/4ths of the 20th century.

   I don't think I'd go so far as to call it progress. It's different for sure.

That's so nice of you to compare same sex weddings to the black plague. It's nothing off from you, so why do you care to make it appear as a bad thing? It's not a threat, it's not infectuous...

Live and let live. As long as people don't cause trouble I'm fine with almost everything.

Well, so am I (your last line), however this is a political issue, the gays just wanted to disrespect the religious sect. They already have civil unions, etc. (shrugs)

Next on Oprah, obese civil rights and Man/Sheep marriages, brought to you by a Progressive America.

Same sex marriages will be a much bigger economic boom for divorce lawyers.

It always comes back to lawyers, doesn't it?

And marriage councelers

the "Deluth Model" for that ought to be a riot

Civil Unions didn't grant same sex couples the same rights granted by marriage. If anything it was more like the Religious Right wanted to continue the discrimination against and disrespect of homosexuals...What I don't understand is why anyone even cares who marries whom.

Oh yeah, now they get taxed more because they file married. I forget about that. 

What I don't understand is why they want to call it marriage instead of a civil union....WGAS.

It's not a threat, it's not infectuous...

AIDS? 

[AquaShrimp]

How is agreeing to be monogamous with one person for the rest of your life (marriage) a threat of AIDS?  If anything, it will lower the spread of AIDS.
