Originally posted by Jukin View PostNot to get on a rant here but I am really amazed that people get so worked up over things that have absolutely no impact on their own lives. If Jason Collins wants to sleep with another guy -- unless that guy is you what the hell business is it of yours? If two people are consenting adults and no one else is affected by their actions then leave them the hell alone! If Vin enjoys glueing smilie faces to his nutsack and bouncing on a pogo stick infront of a picture of Queen Elizabeth making out with Betty White while his girlfriend hits him with pillows then I say - Go Vin!
And for the relegious zelots claiming vin may be committing a sin, the bible teaches us to love and accept one another. If it is a sin it's between the sinner and God. My own belief is that we are supposed to accept and support one another on this journey - not belittle and hate. Those feelings should be reserved for Cowboy's fans and players.
It's not about tolerance, it is about forced acceptance. What we have seen is gay groups sue the Boy Scouts, EHarmony, or anything remotely religious to try to put them all out of business. They are trying to force everyone to think like them...and eventually, this will result in attacks on religious freedom of speech - it already has. Pretty soon, Christians or others who oppose homosexuality will be discriminated against in employment. How soon before they force pastors or priests or churches to marry them? It is amazing to me 2-3% of the population has so much power.
You make the false assumption that if you disagree with someone or something, that means you automatically hate it. I don't hate gay people, but I think the definition of marriage, which has religious origin, should remain between a man and woman as it has always been, rather than be redefined.

And
Kevin mitchellWe're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

To make things completely fair,
I suggest that only hunters with
one eye be permitted to shoot at Stuart.
Is that wrong?

Originally posted by Foles4SB View PostFirst off, the idea that it has no impact on people's lives is absolutely false. In Massachusetts where gay marriage was passed, Catholic adoption agencies were forced to shut down. In New Mexico, a private Christian photographer was fined $6,000 by the government for refusing to photo a lesbian ceremony out of moral conviction. You've had a whole host of pro gay indoctrination things pushed into public schools with our tax dollars. Including Kindergartners reading "A King and A King" as well as other indoctrination type stuff at every level of school. There were forced gay marriage celebration chapels with no parental opt out in Massachusetts.

I assume you are referring to our "progress" as a society?
Lord I hope not.
I agree with him that we are talking more about forced acceptance than tolerance. Tolerance and perhaps even understanding is something that most of us DO strive for, however the way that some of these issues which should NOT be political are in fact used to divide our society is just sickening, IMO.
Live and let live. Freedom. Wasn't that the basis for the founding of this country in the first place?http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

There's a big difference between forced acceptance and tolerance. No reasonable minded person is going to force anyone to accept homosexuality. But on the flip side are people who are trying to limit other people's freedoms.
1. Hate gays? Think it's wrong? You have every single right to do so. Your freedom isn't being infringed. It's exactly the same as if you want to say you hate blacks or mexicans. Or you hate ice cream. No one is saying you can't say what you feel. I love the 1st amendment.
2. Don't think gays should be able to marry? Well then you're infringing upon gays rights to do something. That to me is BS. I believe in freedom and freedom means the ability to have sex with dudes or get married. Ooooooh we're letting gays get health benefits and protection as a spouse. Oh the humanity!
Live and let live is right. So let the gays do what they want and we'll let anti-gays think what they want. But you can't say freedom and then turn around and say "nope, you can't do that."
I wish gays would stop using the term "marriage" and call it a "civil union". Then you couldn't have the "marriage is a religious sacrament" blah blah blah arguments. A "civil union" also gets you health benefits and the rights of a spouse? Then call it a civil union you dumb motherfuckers!

I think you are missing the point, Vin. No one is trying to tell anyone how to live their life. At least not on MY side. And I don't care if gays want to marry. FINE BY ME! They can be just as miserable as the rest of us. LOL!http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

Polls consistently now show wide support around the country for gay marriage. There are always going to be the 30 percent or so of the evangelicals and other fundamentalist types who will oppose it, but they have lost the battle. It's over.Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you cared about!

We are on different tracks here, obviously. I am not opposed to gays or gay marriages, etc. I am bothered by the backlash against Christians. Knucklehead athiests like Mikey Weinsten are what bother me. Efforts to remove any traces of belief or shows of belief from the military, the school, our freaking money or our constitution.......man, I don't want to get started on this.http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...
