Not in that context. Synonyms are not definitions. It's all in the word choice. On the other had maybe he had fleeting bursts of energy in which he actually worked. Whatever.

OK, I think I read that last line inaccurately the first time

Gay marriage has been coming for a while now and I don't see any going back at this point. It's just not that big of an issue to those who aren't gay, though I think the term will be something along the lines of "civil union" and not "marriage."

would certainly be less controversial, and would appease many so-called Christians who deem themselves to be in a position to judge others. I am all for civil unions, for gays and straight people who want a contract. On the other hand, if they WANT to get MARRIED, not just form a union...why not?

They can marry anyone of the opposite sex they want to, just like the rest of us. Their is no denile of rights.

Using this argument, segregated marriage was ok because black people could marry people of the same color, just like white people could marry white people.

Why do you support segregated marriage?

You can't control your skin color. There genes that have been identified that control melanin content. There has been no gene definitively linked to homsexuality.

When did you decide to be Heterosexual?

Heterosexual is what we are all genetically predispositioned to be. That is what the science tells us. From an evolutionary standpoint homosexuality does not make sense since the point is to reproduce. How's that? I guess you thought you were arguing with a Bible thumping Baptist or something!

If we are "predisposed" or not. Seems to me, if you don't have to choose to be hetero, you wouldn't have to choose to be gay.

I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would actually choose to be ridiculed by many by "choosing" to be gay.

Seeing as folks I have talked with about this, the gay ones never mention choosing to be gay. They said it just happened. Kind of like most guys say it just happened, liking girls that is. If everything was about reproducing, why can some not reproduce?

You are hilarious!

In all seriousness they do deserve to be as miserable as the heterosexuals. Misery loves company.

Sorry your marriage experience was negative. I have enjoyed 15 years of marriage and so far my wife tells me the same.

If you think everything on here is dead serious without a hint of sarcasm, you need to examine yourself.

Almost 19 years of great marriage here. Not perfect, not much is.

I still see no problem with Gays being married.

When they do reach a union which one is from Venus and which one is from Mars? I have no problems with civil unions. Marriage is an institution of religions. It may seem a technicality, but it really is different. It is like the difference between "common law" marriage and a "real marriage. And yes I agree many heterosexuals have done a lousy job at it but many still make it work. IMHOP

When they dance, who leads?

"The one constant in all of your failed relationships is you."

"Marriage is an institution of religions."

Again I ask, what about the atheists and agnostics that marry? What do you do about them? Are their marriages any less legal, or recognized, than a marriage sanctioned with a "religious" ceremony?

I am arguing the point that the term Marriage is a religious institution not a civil one. Our govt. has used it as such, but that does not change most religions point of view on the subject.I have no problem with civil unions. Let the queers shack up with each other and get the tax benefit. I have a problem calling it and treating it as marriage.

So we can now assume that Mrs. Spyglass reads the blogs!

Just didn't want someone here thinking everything is dead serious.

For that matter, she knows everything in a marriage isn't perfect. Especially her husband.

She doesn't like the controversy. For that she picked the wrong guy huh? She compensates by ignoring all this. She's smarter than I am.

Is a beautiful thing. She can even tell her husband that he needs to SHUT UP..it does me good to hear that every now and then.

The problem is that marriage is a religious institution intende to bring male and female together to create a family and raise children. Let the queers have "civil unions". Legally they would have the same rights.

"Let the queers have "civil unions"

Nice one.

Jesus would be so proud of your terminology.

I did not invent it. I believe there was a TV show on HBO or something that had the word Queers in the title.

THAT YOUR 'SACASM' MEANS YOU ARE IN 'DENILE'?

You need to be more specific about your "witty" reply. Or do you intend to beat aroung the "GWB"?

Don't let em pull your leg!

De Nile (The Nile) is a river in Egypt!

You mean "denial," I think.

It's a joke dude. I get it.

SINCE YOU KEEP MAKING AN 'ASP' OF YOURSELF.

I fart in your general direction!( and your mother wears combat boots. What is your point oh witty one?
