ok last one...

 

Quote:If it's two separate issues, then just deal with the issue at hand and not what you think it might lead to. If it's evolutionary as you call it, it's going to happen whether gays are allowed to marry or not.


I've got news for you...pedophiles, polygamists, incest and those seeking a little furry love have been around since man first walked the earth. It's not new and uncharted territory.





Everything boils down to this...You are trying to stop someone else from doing something because of your ideals. What would you do if someone wouldn't allow you to do something because they didn't FEEL it was right?

 

I don't recall trying to stop anyone from doing anything. Just giving my opinion on the issue is only that, my opinion. 

 

But to answer your question, obviously I wouldn't want someone not allowing me to do what I felt was the right thing to do. 

 

Quote:I am less concerned with how people feel about homosexuality personally than I am about how the laws are written. I respect someone's right to not think it's okay or right. So long as they acknowledge their beliefs don't override someone else's right to exist how they are. I assure you TMD that there are plenty of extremely conservative gay people right here in Jax. They are not all extreme stereotypes and in your face. The only thing I ask anyone who is firmly against gay people is to ask themselves honestly why. Are the reasons things others are leading you to believe or are they factual? Because there are people spending millions spreading falsehoods about homosexuality for their own purposes. I would encourage you to walk a mile in these people's shoes before you cast judgment. If you don't know any gay people and want to listen to their stories, Jacksonville has an annual community run production written by Jacksonvillians and performed by Jacksonvillians telling their own coming out stories which you can attend. If you don't know how you feel on the subject and want to understand more, there is no excuse. The only thing I didn't get in your post TMD is why a slight dig is labeled a canned liberal response. Oh well.. baby steps.

 

The slight dig was labeled a canned liberal response because in these type of arguments I constantly see liberals coming back trying to put it on the person - i.e. "if you're against homosexuality, you must be secretly/ subconsciously gay" and responses of that ilk. Thus your response was similar in its typicality. I don't like Brussel Sprouts either....that doesn't mean I secretly/ subconsciously like them.
