What's more important, equal rights for gays or the economy.

[Xeng He]

First your title made me angry and then your OP made me confused about your point.

He's essentiallly Godwinning gay rights.

It being a Godwin, I will respond by saying that the rights of gays to marry and the rights of Jews to live their lives are very different.

[Gordonisia]

I prefer giving rights to a fag than to a capitalistic son of a bi**h, at least he/she will enjoy love instead of greed!

You do realize that greed is a form of love, right?

[The Nuclear Fist]

I don't see why there can't be equal rights and a healthy economy. The only people I see making that argument are Chinese Communist Party officials.

I'm onto you, Jintao.

That's why it's bad. Love is bad.

Well your homophobic comments show your a troll.

Now I don't understand why people are getting that impression. I was trying to defend my fellow homosexuals against comments like that that people make. Like, oh you think so? So did the Germans think that about the Jews. Oh well I gues I missed.

[Liriena]

Both are important.

BTW: Your argument would suggest that politicians are incapable of handling more than a single issue at a time. Which, of course, is bullshit.

Yes, but which is more important is the question.

And I answered: Both are important. Both deserve the same degree of commitment.

That is politicians-wise. Now, voters-wise, I would look a lot more kindly upon an electorate that votes on macroeconomic and macropolitical issues than on social policy.

No. He's asking which is more important to you. Like, if you could only choose one, which would it be?

Generally, when your title includes "fags" and your actual post is rather vague, people tend to assume you are against gay rights.

Ifyou support gay rights, you should probably change the title.

You should have fleshed out your OP in anticipation of the confusion the word fag would cause... and I don;t mean the cigarette based hilarity.

[Silent Majority]

Obvious troll is obvious

[Vistulange]

Fags, of course! Cigarettes always revitalise the economy, so fags!

Same argument the CCP is making. They can't have basic civil rights since they're still developing a stable economy.

Once again, I'm still onto you, Jintao.

What do you want hime to say? Faggots?

Nvm. Misunderstood the question.

What the bloody hell are you talking about? You can't compare LGB issues to the jews in Nazi Germany..... The US Government isn't going to start rounding up Gays or build extermination camps in annexed Mexico any time soon.

Homesexual and gay would be much less inflammatory.

Be more unambiguous, then.

I never thought you were homophobic, BTW.

[Adafdfadfasdf]

The protection of the civil rights of everyone should trump the economy.

The Republicans, mostly, are the ones saying that we shouldn't be focusing on "gay marriage" because the economy is more important. What do I say to that? Stop focusing on marriage equality, then. If you think that the economy is more important, you are perfectly capable of ceding the issue--let people marry who they choose.

[Muckistania]

Yes, but which is more important is the question.

In truth the OP question was not well phrased. He never stipulated further constraints like saying which is more important to who, what, when, why, where.

But if they did so, they would lose the favor of the egocentric religious far-right.

Please... it's the 21st century... the politically correct terms are Sausage Smugglers and Clunge Divers.

If they pass, or repeal legislation about a certain topic, they are focusing on that topic...

No I'm not!!! Lmao. Im simply stating that people who today say that the economy is more impOrtant are like some Germans in the 30's.

Your title of the thread would suggest entirely otherwise.

Some of them also like jazz music and wear shoes... folk have a lot of irrelevant things in common with various historical people's.
