OT Texas

[crandc]

You know the saying, when you're in a hole, stop digging.

Meanwhile the San Antonio doctor is being sued by an Arkansas attorney under house arrest after criminal conviction who nevertheless traveled to Texas to file suit. An someone in Colorado.

They can have all the rights they can get. Still doesn't mean I have to agree with it. Smokers should have rights, too, right? Let one smoke in a booth next to you in your favorite s=restaurant.

Second hand smoke kills. So, no they shouldn't get to smoke their cigarettes around people who don't smoke inside buildings. Why should someone have to risk getting cancer because someone else wants to smoke cigarettes?

I can't believe you are comparing that to being gay. Being gay hurts no one. Being around someone who is gay hurts no one. So why should there be a law against it?

I said earlier it was a bad analogy. My bad

Mmmmm.... butter-fried horse dewormer!

 

[crandc]

Anti woman group complaining two suits against San Antonio doctor are frivolous. Convicted felon and disbarred attorney in Arkansas says he doesn't care about abortion, just needs money. Other plaintiff is against law and hopes his suit will overturn it.
Law was written so anyone can sue anyone else at any time from anywhere.
Civil law has been based on standing. I can't sue a person in civil court for doing something crappy unless it was done to me or directly injured me. Texas law eliminates standing by specifically stating person suing does not need any connection with woman seeking abortion. Unconstitutional on that ground alone.

Got tix to the state fair of Texas this weekend!

That state fair is bigger than the whole state of Vermont, correct?

 

[julius]

That state fair is bigger than the whole state of Vermont, correct?

Um, no?

It's like 277 acres, Vermont is 6 million acres.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Um, no?

It's like 277 acres, Vermont is 6 million acres.

What if we convert it to the metric system?

 

[julius]

What if we convert it to the metric system?

Oddly enough, the state of Vermont still dwarfs the Texas State Fair.

 

[ABM]

Um, no?

It's like 277 acres, Vermont is 6 million acres.

Um, it was a joke? Thanks for playing.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Um, it was a joke? Thanks for playing.

Freedom and Unity is a joke to you?!?

 

[julius]

If you have to, repeatedly, explain that something you say was meant as a joke, it means you're not actually that funny.

 

[ABM]

Well, we know you're not funny, so just chalk it up to counter-balance.

Oh, and tell your mini-me, RR7, hi for me.

Don't give up your day job

 

[ABM]

I don't have a day job.

Put religion and God aside.

Is it not obvious it take a penis and a vagina to reproduce and men were meant for women?

Don't get me wrong, I believe in personal rights stretch further than biological fit, and any relationship two people want to have with each other is their choice, not mine. But the fact is, as humans, if we don't maintain man for woman, woman for man, we will eventually go extinct?

And with that, wouldn't we, as a human race, want to push for (not force) heterosexual marriages.

I believe one can differentiate the overall view of gay marriage and be opposed to it, while simultaneously being for a gay persons choice to get married.

No different than abortion to me. I don't agree with most types of abortion, but ill never try to force pro life on anyone else.



Why cant one be for the individual right of a person to make a choice, but still not agree with some of the choices made by individuals?
Doesn't mean that person is going to try to force a change on the other person other than through hopeful discussions and changing of minds.

 

[crandc]

That is absurd. One danger our species is NOT facing is extinction due to underpopulation. I've heard that dumb antigay argument for at least 40 years.
Men were meant for women? Meant by whom?
There are some personal decisions that harm others, like driving drunk or not getting vaccinated. There are others that are no one else's damn business.
I have yet to meet to he straight person who asked my permission to get married.

 

[Thatbpguy]

Also a same sex couple sitting at the booth next to you isn't going to get gay in your lungs, or burn your eyes with their gay, or create impenetrable clouds of gay that make your clothes smell for months.

Some people need to look past their upbringing and grow up.

I thought they were called a "couple" and labeled a "same sex couple". Don't worry, sitting at the booth next to you isn't going to get gay in your lungs, or burn your eyes with their gay, or create impenetrable clouds of gay that make your clothes smell for months.

Again, I'm fine with you not being for those things. I have a problem with people voting to force that belief on others.

There is zero threat of the population becoming too gay to reproduce. In fact, tribes with homosexual members tend to be more prosperous because there are more healthy adult contributors per child.

Yeah, I wont vote for those either. But my heart believe another. Its just not right of me to force that on others.

That last sentence though..You know any tribes in American society where this would apply? lol. Meaning, you don't see people raising other peoples' children, other than daycare. And that's a farce compared to what you speak of, which is truly a good thing if we could become more community oriented like that again. I do believe in helping take care of our own...meaning those around us, neighbors, etc. working together.

Gay people pay taxes too. That's how modern societies handle these things.

And gay people also adopt kids who would otherwise be wards of the state or worse.

I don't disagree with that. I'm just also able to look at it as a reproductive thing and, to me, its obvious that man was meant for woman. However what is meant to be and what is, is not always the same.

My point is, I can see where @ABM comes from and though I may not agree to the extent he does,as far as how far to push ones opinion, I totally understand his stance.

It's really difficult to dispute man was meant for woman and woman meant for man.


I prefer to maintain a human is a human and I have a love for all humans, even if most of them piss me off. LOL!

[barfo]

Is it not obvious it take a penis and a vagina to reproduce and men were meant for women?

Technically, no. It requires sperm and egg, penis and vagina are not necessary.

Are you one of those people that just repeat someone's words during an argument? And keep doing it, and doing it, and doing it, and doing it? Because no one likes that guy.
