For those who don't know, Maine was voting on repealing a law that legalized gay marriage earlier this year. The YES vote won, meaning that the law will be repealed.
I have never been so disappointed in my fellow citizens - which includes electing GWB for a second term. I mean, people actually just voted to take rights away from their neighbors. It makes me sick.
A co-worker posted something along the lines of when gay people finally do have the same rights, the people who opposed it are going to go down in the history books alongside the people who opposed ending segregation or giving women the right to vote. That's all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that things are fudgeed up right now. |

People are idiots. Eventually, slowly, they get things right....but in the meantime, there's a lot of stupidity to plow through. Can't overpower it all at once, that's why it's such a slow process.

Thank you, that makes me feel special. Did you skip school just to post that? Are you just frustrated because you're unlikely to ever have sex with anyone, man or woman? I like this bit from your Helium page:

My thoughts are, let people do what they want and live as they choose, why should anyone else dictate the rights of how people should live? It does seem wrong for your state to do that, but some people are so scared of change that the slightest problem scares them.

But, marriage is pretty stupid to begin with. Seems like the gays just want it so being gay will be socially acceptable.....sorry, never going to happen.

I'm not a fan of gay people, but I live by the idea that I don't like people telling me what I can and can't do as long as I'm not directly harming someone else...so regardless of how much I don't like being around gay people, I don't give a crap what they do with each other or in the privacy of their own home.
What pisses me off the most are the people out there who think they're the police of everyone else. There are too many people out there who think they're the authority on telling others what they can and can't do. I wonder how they'd feel if someone came along and told them what they could and couldn't do...obviously they don't like it when someone tells them they can't stop gay people from being gay.  |

Solution: Ban ALL Marriages. It's an abomination to begin with. If you have a soulmate, shouldn't words & feelings be enough? Why bring the government into the matter? Fudge the establishment.
Since that won't happen, I could give a damn who decides to marry who. If you wanna marry a fudgein' taco, you should be allowed. It's your business, not mine. |

I'm not sure whose posts are more disappointing, Reed's or Enix's. On the one hand, Reed says a lot of stupid crap over three posts. On the other, Enix isn't "a fan of gay people," as if homosexuality is a sports team. |

I think you're kidding, but I agree. Marriage is a personal and/or religious/spiritual affair and no government should have any say in it. Tax breaks for married couples should also be abolished. |

Not kidding at all, good sir (except for the "taco" part, that might actually disgust me a little bit). I think it's wrong the government has a say-so about who we want to spend our life with. Even more wrong that people are so judgmental about it. Get over yourselves, for fudges sake. |

I vote ENIX. Reed, we could have pretty much predicted him to post like that...actually, I would expect worse. But ENIX's post reminds me of people who say things like "I have absolutely nothing against gay people, I'm all for freedom, as long as they keep their gayness in the privacy of their homes"

Way to take things literally there, guy.
I don't give a crap how gay someone wants to be in private or all flamoyantly in public either, just don't try to gay rape me and I'm cool with your gayness. By "fan", I mean, I personally don't care for the gay lifestyle but to each his own. It like saying I don't care much for the PS3, but it's there and it's in my house...so be it. I got nothing wrong with gay people, but I don't go out of my way to get involved in gayness --that's all. This extends to other personal choices and lifestyles too, it's not just gay people; that just happens to be the topic of discussion.
Seems like you're the one being judgmental about me and the way I feel about crap. What do you care? Even if I hated gay people, who cares as long as I don't act on that hatred.

see that part where I wrote "ENIX's post reminds me of..."? That's all. I didn't say you were one of those people. It just reminded me of people like that. So as far as me being judgmental about you and the way you feel about crap...that's incorrect. You're absolutely right; you can't help the way you feel, but you can help the way you act on those feelings. I don't disagree with you there.....................guy.
