It is what I said before: we are not in a vacuum. Example: I am a born-again Christian, trying to raise my child in a moral environment because I feel they will become a better person (more honest, etc). I am seeing what I perceive as decay in society (whether it be gay marriage or anything else). This affects my child. Define morality however you like, but the idea is the same: what one does in a society affects another. Yes, I am of the opinion that many feel that these views are being forced upon them.
Take another example: I enter into marriage. Marriage is recognized by law, but in addition I see it as a sacred institution, the foundation of society. Gay marriage weakens this insitution, thus weakening society.

This is a non sequitur in regards to gay marriage. The opinion (or law) is not that those who are gay are not equal to who are straight -- this is the implication seen by the proponents of gay marriage. The opinion is that two of the same sex should not be able to be wed. Two straight men cannot be wed; neither can two gay men. A gay man and a straight woman can. They are equal in this respect. This is different than saying that a black man or a woman is not as intelligent as a white man.

I don't think you are very far from the actual truth, m0oni9... I think the post-election attitudes that are surfacing are clear indicators of another 1860 era. People are becoming less tolerant of thier brother - not out of difference of skin, but in the difference of opinions / mindsets.
I see Americans getting so upset and fed up with this very issue we've been debating for several pages - how the government isn't properly representing our views - that yes, I could easily see civil war in hopes to change our political makeup.
Take into consideration also the views of foreign peoples as well. Each year America pisses off even more of the world's countries - and even though I think it was good to declare war on terrorism globally and to invade the soverignity of Iraq (could've been handled alot more effectively, however) it's made many countries feel less secure about thier independance. What I think is that foreign countries will ally together, out of jealously or insecurity, to find ways to strip the United States of its uncontested global superpower (not taking China into consideration).
Hope y'all in Jesusland know how to properly charge, reload, and unjam an M16-A2/AR-15... nevermind, most of the hunters in the US live in states that voted for Bush - whereas the areas that voted for Kerry prefer handguns (which they have trouble hitting a 300lb. gas clerk at 4ft. away). No worries for the reds I suppose. :lol:

Do you honestly think what I care of your opinion, or anyone elses? This whole community I don't give a rats ass about anymore since 99% of the people I greatly respected have departed.

Yes, but please don't trying setting me up. It is a strategy that goes after the person, rather than the argument.

I won't point out the spelling mistakes that you made. I hope that you didn't take the table too seriously, though. It is widely accepted as a hoax, as there is no data to verify it.

Come on people, "I didnt get what I wanted and everyone who took it from me has a lower IQ then me na nananana na nananana"
The USA is a Democracy, last election you complained cause Bush didnt win the popular vote yadda yadda yadda, now this election your complaining because he did. The people have spoken and you were found lacking, your claims of being smarter just show your stupidity.
