Stop ruining all the great discussion we could be having!

No, but seriously, I'd hate to see more posters get banned for pointing out the really fucking obvious.

I'd be fine with it.

To get back on task, does anyone know what the most likely states are for legalization of same-sex marriage? What state legislatures are currently debating the issue?


I'm not sure, but I won't be surprised if Texas legalizes it before Florida.

It must be great to follow a religion where you can violate a great deal of the core commands and still be good as long as you say sorry to a man wearing a white collar.

Except, when one does so, one is supposed to feel genuine remorse for the acts, instead of giving a half-assed "sorry".

Val, your beliefs would be unpopular even in the eyes the most deluded far-right reactionaries. Not even Videla would agree with you. Heck, not even Savonarola would.
