Marriage Now Fabulous, SCOTUS Rules for Same Sex Marriage

[MERIZoC]

Polls are nifty.

Hardly. Polls mean nothing since polls can be manipulated by having only a certain number of people vote.
The only things that matter are referendums and elections.

Wrong.

[Donut section]

This is good.

Go America.

Now to wait for Tony Abbot to be booted out as Prime Minister here in Australia so we can get the same thing.

His sister is lesbian, and yet he opposes same-sex marriage.

Oh, I know.

It's why we need to wait for it.

[Galloism]

Doesn't the Bible (Old Testament at least) promote Polygamy?

Yes. Solomon had 1000 wives.

It was a good time to be king. I loved it.

[Napkiraly]

Congratulations America for focusing a bit more on what your politics has said since your inception: "That all men are created equal."

Many of the Founding Fathers would have been disappointed.

The Founding Fathers can go fuck themselves.

[Free Tristania]

Hardly. Polls mean nothing since polls can be manipulated by having only a certain number of people vote.
The only things that matter are referendums and elections.

Polls from many different organizations at many different time periods all saying the same thing tend to say a lot about what people feel about a topic.

If you ask a 1000 people or 10000 people for their opinions on the matter when having a population of 300 million people those polls are completely meaningless.

[Liberty and Linguistics]

We legalized it before the Germans. Damn.

But, seriously, great news, this was coming sooner or later, and marriage rights are finally equal, yada yada. I'd continue, but I'd be reiterating what dozens of NSGers and pundits have said on this matter. I'll celebrate by failing a test and drinking some champagne.

Wrong.

So you're against democracy ?

[Kelinfort]

14th?

*grumbles* yes, i know

So far the 14th seems to be the worst amendment yet
gay marriage
abortion(?)

Who knew privacy and equal protection under the law sucked?

I mean, are you actually insisting we kept/keep blacks, minorities, and gays as second class citizens?

[The 93rd Coalition]

Doesn't the Bible (Old Testament at least) promote Polygamy?

Yes. Solomon had 1000 wives.

That's generally not been considered an endorsement of polygamy. Solomon has been emphasized as one of the more sinful kings of the bible. His kingdom tore itself apart with his progeny.

Yes. Solomon had 1000 wives.

I think we get our rules from the new testament

[The Alma Mater]

Why is the Federal Government in the Marriage Business to begin with?

Because marriage is a contract between society and a couple ? Who else should be involved ?

[Keyboard Warriors]

This is good.

Go America.

Now to wait for Tony Abbot to be booted out as Prime Minister here in Australia so we can get the same thing.

His sister is lesbian, and yet he opposes same-sex marriage.

Even if he did support it, he can't call a vote because of the party position on the matter. Neither of the two main parties in Australia support SSM. The "leftists" were in power from 2007 to 2013 and did not attempt to introduce a bill on the matter.

[Vassenor]

This is good.

Go America.

Now to wait for Tony Abbot to be booted out as Prime Minister here in Australia so we can get the same thing.

His sister is lesbian, and yet he opposes same-sex marriage.

Why is the fact that Tony Abbot is a backwards bigoted [EXPLETIVE DELETED] news to people?

[Ganos Lao]

Yes. Solomon had 1000 wives.

I think we get our rules from the new testament

So why are women not silent in the churches?

[Liberty and Linguistics]

Many of the Founding Fathers would have been disappointed.

Fucking oneself is a bit difficult when one is trapped in a coffin.

[MERIZoC]

Wrong.

So you're against democracy ?

I'm against ignorance, which is what you're displaying with regards to polling.

No it is not, these things tend to be done very specifically to ensure that population samples work and are representative.

I listed the bad parts >_>

[Lyannesia]

Any negative reactions yet?

[Risottia]

Yes. Solomon had 1000 wives.

"We" who?
Americans, or Christians? Neither implies the other.

Someone hasn't taken statistics before. Or else you'd probably know what "statistically significant" means.

[West Aurelia]

A few in this thread.

What bad parts?

[Liberty and Linguistics]

No. Pat Robertson has probably had a stroke, but I can't say that's negative.

depends on the church
