How some of you can defend something so unnatural and perverse is beyond me....unless of course, you simply fish or posess a reprobate mind yourselves.

There's a difference between defending the act and defending someone's right to decide for himself if the act is perverse.

No problem there....I'm not their judge...folks have freedom of choice.

If this issue comes to vote I will vote against it in a heartbeat.  

And here we have the crux of your value system.

I vote for all Americans to have the same rights.

You would vote for abridging the rights of Americans that live the kind of life you dont approve of.

Im thankful that we have a system that will in the end uphold the values of our constitution etc. Free choice and rights for all to pursue happiness.

Well Texace, it's kind of like this... I have to live in this country just like you do. I have to raise my kids in it. If something is happening that is against my beliefs, I have the right speak out against it. You don't have to agree with that viewpoint, and in fact I don't personally pose any threat to you or your beliefs. Now I know it'd be a lot more convenient for me to shut up and act like I believe you are right, but I don't, so I won't.

If this issue comes to vote I will vote against it in a heartbeat. If it doesn't (and it doesn't look as if it will) I won't. See how simple that is. I'm more than happy to wind you up some more about my beliefs if you want to ask about them, but in the grand scheme of things that doesn't matter very much.

BTW, I am against abortion and reparations, too.

Kieran, I never said I wanted you to follow my beliefs and I wasn't putting yours down. None of my post was directed specifically at you and the last thing I need s for you to pretend I'm right.

I never said I was, and I'm sorry if my post made you think that. I don't claim to be right and I don't intend to be, but I do intend to post my own beliefs, same as you.

I do like debating, though...kinda fun. Sorry Kieran.

If he were gay would that take anything away from his message?

Then by the same logic, it's not the place of government to concern itself with those who choose an unnatural realtionship.

It IS the place of Government to ensure that all Americans receive equal rights and protection under the law... including Tax law.

Kieran,    The fact that you want the gov't to continue to restrict the rights of American citizens does make you a threat to my beliefs.

Let me rephrase; I am no more a threat to your beliefs than you are to mine. I can deal with that, so should you.

Texace-

Don't worry, I am not angry at all, and it is I who should apologize if I sound that way. I tend to be confrontational in debate. That isn't always a good thing. No harm on my end.
