since this is a wedding website - what is your opinion on same sex marriage?

Original post by yabbobay

our president is against it...and he says that you are too...what is your opinion?

A strong America must also value the institution of marriage. I believe we should respect individuals as we take a principled stand for one of the most fundamental, enduring institutions of our civilization. Congress has already taken a stand on this issue by passing the Defense of Marriage Act, signed in 1996 by President Clinton. That statute protects marriage under Federal law as the union of a man and a woman, and declares that one state may not redefine marriage for other states. Activist judges, however, have begun redefining marriage by court order, without regard for the will of the people and their elected representatives. On an issue of such great consequence, the people's voice must be heard. If judges insist on forcing their arbitrary will upon the people, the only alternative left to the people would be the constitutional process. Our nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.

The outcome of this debate is important -- and so is the way we conduct it. The same moral tradition that defines marriage also teaches that each individual has dignity and value in God's sight.

It's moot at this point. From my experience, people can't explain what they don't understand.

Moving on...your story was sweet.

Someone, quick, find the dead horse icon!


Beating a Dead Horse

Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in business we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Say things like, 'This is the way we have always ridden this horse.'
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in todays environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that 'This horse is not dead.'
11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that 'No horse is too dead to beat.'
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a Cost Analysis study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is 'better, faster and cheaper' dead.
18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

The only contact I have with gay individauls are our client's and we have several that are in committed realtionships, and it is so sad to see they can't be married in the legal sense.

Peewee, I don't think that your response to Erica was called for. You have kept this post going, and injected more drama than necessary, all in the name of people attacking your viewpoint. But you just attacked Erica for stating that this country has had some bad laws in the past. Your implication that she wants some liberal president to throw the country in upheaval is unfair. I am a liberal and your statement is, I think, offensive and also somewhat ignorant of the political process. Whenever a new president is elected, especially if we are talking about a new political party, that president repeals old laws, passes new ones and brings in a new cabinet to implement his policies. Bush did, as do all presidents.

If you want to engage in intelligent debate, then I applaud you. But your unpunctuated ramblings seem to be geared towards no more than creating hostility when there is none.

I can understand and respect that you do not want to be made to feel that you have to defend your position. But please extend the same curtesy to the rest of the ladies and stop demanding that they defend theirs.



IMHO I personally don't see this an attack, but you have said you were attacked long before this post. I don't see how your point's hold any validity.

Just trying to break up the seriousness Shel......and it's obviously not working.

Hmm...those words look familiar to me, so I will respond.

That's not an attack, thats an opnion. The fact that you don't like it, does not make it an attack. Explain to me the attack. I didn't call you a name, I didn't attack your belief or the reason for it. I didn't even use particularly strong language.

I took issue with something you said that I thought was out of line and I pointed out that your posts, without punctuation are difficult to understand. Has anyone ever told you that when you type in all caps it is the same as yelling? Well, typing in one long run on sentance without punctuation sounds the same. Like you are so worked up that you can't take a breath.

Show me the verbal assault, yes the VERBAL ASSAULT.

CIMINOK, since you were looking for a reply from me before, here it is :

I do not know what kind of discrimination you face, nor do you know mine.

My point was, that unless you're gay, and I'm guessing you're not, you do not know what it's like. Period. Y

ou have the option of marrying the person you love. Gay people DO NOT have the option I, in no way, said that people who voted 'no' do not face some sort of discrimination. I think that all of us, as women, have face some sort of discrimination in our lives.
