Judge overturns California's ban on same-sex marriage

Still waiting for you to say something relevant. I guess I'll have to wait a long time. But while I'm waiting I'll read how prop 8 has been ruled unconstitutional..... again. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #127016)

Now there's something we can agree on. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229464)

Really? Which site? What thread? Unless you can provide it, we'll assume that you're lying. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229442)

It sucks being on the losing side of history, doesn't it? Go ahead and run your mouth. Same sex marraige is coming to California and eventually the whole country and there just isn't a single thing that you can do about it. LOL (Feb 7, 2012 | post #126946)

Ok, that is bit more clear than your previous postings. Before, it sounded as if you were wanting to eliminate the government. While it is possible to revoke the 16th amendment, it still isn't going to happen. As for a level playing field, this is the government's job. To provide equal opportunity. It doesn't mean that everyone starts at the same point in life, just that no one is prevented, by law or custom, from rising above where they started. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229389)

Really? You actually believe that? Hmmmmm......I'd switch to bottled water if I were you. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229379)

I see that you are using this forum to advocate for things that simply are not going to happen. The government is not going to go away. Taxes are not going away. You seem angry that you are taxed at a higher rate for being single. Therefore you are against anyone (straight or gay) having a state recognized marraige and the "rights" that go along with it. You see that as "authoritaria n" when it is merely common practice in all civilized nations. Who said I was afraid of our form of government? I'm COUNTING on our form of government to provide equal protection under the law. Doesn't sound like being afraid of it to me. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229377)

I think I understand where you are coming from. In a existentialist way, nothing is "absolute " but that only leads to anarchy of which I'm not in favor of. It's a pipe dream to think that we can get rid of government and lead peaceable lives. The groundwork of laws keep us moving forward together as best as we can. Remove them and we break down into tribal factions. Not a good thing. To the point at hand, marraige is in fact "regulated " by the government by the issuance of a license. Neither one of us can change that. My point is to make sure that all are given the opportunity to recieve a license, nothing more. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229353)

You can get the education that you need at your nearest community college. Again, your double standard is refuted by the constitution and the nation's extensive body of law. The country is fortunate that it simply isn't up to you, to decide who is covered by the law and who "deserves " dignity and who doesn't. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229326)

In this country, marraige is a civil contract issued by the state in the form of a license. It doesnt' matter what mumbo jumbo a priest, preacher, or witch doctor mumbles over a couple, without that license issued by the state, there is no marriage....period . This was instituted to legally legitimize progeny, protect property, money and inheritance rights of those involved. These rights must be applied to all Americans equally under the law. That is the position of the courts. (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229311)

It is a decision that will stand, making it quite sound indeed. Again, the people do NOT have the right to vote on the rights of others. How many times do the courts have to make this plain to YOU? (Feb 7, 2012 | post #229302)
