Now this is getting ridiculous. The next thing I'll see written here is that children are better off being raised in a gay situation than a straight one. Pulleeeaase! :roll:

No you won't. And if someone does I will tell them flat out they are wrong.

I dunno. If I had two gay dads, bet I'd have a better fashion sense. Or a fashion sense period. ;)

I dunno about that, I think my fashion gene got lost somewhere.

Ha, no wait I got it.

Girl at her work walks up to her: "Hi, I'm Sarah!", holds out her hand to shake..."I am NOT a lesbian" saffron sneers, glaring at poor Sarah's hand.

Just a few things.....polygamy oppresses the women involved. Gay or "same-sex marriage" degrades our society.
Click to expand...

Finally! A real person making a real noise against polygamy.

And the fact of oppression depends on the culture. What you say isn't an absolute. Are the women forced into this? Are we discussing isolated cultures, like a redneck Utah town of 500, or someplace like Los Angeles?

I'll certainly concede the potential for abuse and opression. But that happens often in traditional hetero marriages also. Look no further than Andrea Yates.

And, of course, and don't take this the wrong way, but some women like being oppressed.

But thanks for the point.

Now, what's that got to do with same-sex marriages, outside of nothing?

You are new here. I see that, 62 posts. I'm going to give you a little heads up. You are not allowed to call people stupid. Calling mods stupid is an especially bad idea. Next time, I'll drag out the gaval, so help me god!

The word stupidity is clearly an implication of a particular belief. It does not inherently call anyone stupid in such a general sense.

Listen, Mr....Conflict is it? You shape up, hang around for awhile, and debate respectfully and one day, you too can be a mod. And then you will be able to decide if someone called a person stupid or just...believed they were stupid? What? A particular belief of stupidity? That's the same thing. Doesn't matter. If we did what all the members wanted, half of you would be banned, the other half could say whatever they wanted and the remaining half (YES I realize thanks) would have left. Save your ideas on who called who stupid and concentrate on your debate. You need it.

I'm not...threatening you. I'm a moderator. Do you know what that means? I'm telling you. If you call someone stupid, I or one of my friends will give you a warning. That's not a threat, it's a fact. Do it enough and you will be banned. Again, not a threat. Just telling you how it works around here. We like to keep a civil atmosphere. You going around saying "more stupidity" doesn't help. Compredez vous?

Okay.

Imagine two families:

One a hetero couple with kids in which the parents get drunk out of their skulls often and have loud arguments and fights.

The other a couple of professional women who stay sober, peaceful, and attentive to their kids.

Which household is healthier for the children?

I have said nothing in direct disrespect to anyone.

Furthermore the concept of being a moderator on an internet debate forum would be an extreme underachievement. You don't know me so don't act like you do.

I know that you know this works both ways, but I'll just point out that in certain cases gay parents are a better alternative and in some straight parents would be better.

Explain to me "missy" how I wasn't being moderate? Although, I have a feeling the name is derived from the verb and not the adjective.

I *believe* I already addressed this. I also believe you never responded. So by your logic, we should also not let ugly people have kids right? Sure as hell, ugly kids get alienated. So do smart kids and minorities and creative kids and...should I continue?

You know, there is an esthetic value in that. Unfortunately the breeding program would take so long that we'd all be dead before we could reap the benefits, so it's probably not worth the bother.

We should write a letter to someone. Get the ball rolling, no?

Yeah, no you got me. I am over here screaming at my computer and jumping up and down because someone I have never met called me stupid online. Good call. Can't believe I'm that transparent.




No. There, I was honest.

No, I'm thinking they'd ask to see what I looked like. That would end the project right there.

LOL... Kelzie...

In a hundred years none of any of this will matter. Life is too short. Let's find some humor in such disagreement. Let's not be so vindictive. If it makes you feel any better I actually misspelled the word "perturbed". ;)

Please. I'm begging you people. Tell me somebody else caught the dripping sarcasm in my post. Scarecrow? You're a sarcastic guy. You saw it right?
