  Implications of gay marriage ruling

  by Rattigan350 in

  while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

  but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

  five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

  Viviane, that is not idiotic at all, that is just what happened!

  I can't help that you passionately defend pretend made up not real history. I dunno, try reading a book on history. Or watching a movie based on an actual history book.

  We left a country where the King and the royal family had the power concentrated in their hands, and came here to America, where we the people (majority rules) could decide our destiny as a nation. Power was no longer in the hands of a few, but was placed in the hands of the many.

  As I said and you perfectly show, you've a fundamental misunderstanding of history and no idea how your government works. Your opinion is wrong and useless.

  But one mentioned routinely on the R Wing Fundie sites and by their leaders.

  Of course, because R Wingnut Fundies are stupid.

  -which goes to show it was an invalid ruling, called into question by the fact that 2 of those justice were not impartial at all, but had been involved with gay marriage personally.

  It goes to show that you've no idea how a judiciary works. You lack knowledge, education, experience or really any reason to think or suppose you've the ability to form a valid opinion.

  No, I am right.

  So far, I've not seen that ever be true. Let's see what happens next!

  Anyway, if 2 of those justices had recused themselves from the ruling, as they should have since they had performed gay marriages themselves,

  Nope. Still have exactly zero idea how your government works, why it does or what you are talking about. You're wrong in every conceivable sense of the word.

  then this ruling would have went the other way

  If germany had won, we would speak German. Alas, life is not dictated by your fantasy what if games.

  Gay people can get married. Get over it.

  Our forefathers left a "minority rules" type of government to come here so the majority could rule.

  I just want to point out how mind numbigly idiotic and wrong that sentence is.

  So it basically boils down to numbers--more justices ruled for gay marriage than against.

  Congrats. You've learned how the concept known as "counting" works.

  I see this whole movement as one big cult, bent on destroying traditional values and free speech in this nation. I have seen them twist the bible in the very same way the Watchtower does, I have seen them try to silence dissent, in the very same way the Watchower does.

  Well, you're ridiculously wrong uninformed, exactly as before.

  So your complaint is "The U.S. Constitution, legislative, executive and judicial branches worked exactly as designed, but I don't like the results"?

  Here's a pro-tip for the uninformed such as yourself: The U.S. is not a democracy. The court did exactly what is was supposed to do according to the Supreme Law of the land. You are 100% wrong and uneducated on how your government works.

  The Greatest Paradox

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.

  like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.

  that was the reason we were at their door.

  Indeed like people saying there is a god and that humans have only been the planet 6,000 years and the bible is the word of God...incredible what people believe isn't it?

  I was sitting at a hotel bar last night and got trapped in between a conversation between a 9/11 truther and a young earth creationist, both trying to convert me to their point of while claiming not to be racist to me and an African American gentleman sitting next me. They laughed heartily as they said they don't see color and whined about all the Mexican illegals, said "black don't crack" and didn't respect the foreign born Kenyan enough to say his name right and called him Obammy and blamed him both for not getting the troops out of Iraq and not sending more. It was like a black hold of logic.

  The point of that is this... People in Florida are stupid. Wait, no, the point is that is it any wonder people are that stupid when we don't teach critical thinking in schools?
