Ugh what an awful site. I absolutely resent the fact that some of you think you know how to live the lives of other people better than they can. Do what you like but don’t tell me what I can and can’t do, who I can and can’t marry. You do not have the jurisdiction to judge. How absolutely condescending!

“The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by sufering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.”

-John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), On Liberty

One: God create all equal, but He also created Man & Woman for a reason to reproduce and create life. The fact women find themselves in umpridictable situations, with no where to turn, and no one lending a hand, including the man that created the child, of course we realize, at some points of a pregnancy it can be terminated w/ in a reasonable amount of time. 3 months should be the max, at this tri-mester is when most, if going to have a misscarriage, it would have occurred, and if you think you can not care for a child, then make the descision now. Why on earth would a woman wait to decide? Money, give me a break, make laws now that can assist with early abortion to reduce risk to the mother and to eliminate the thought that a child would feel pain at this trimester or even be developed enough to comprehend the act. God loves all of us, and yes, we all make mistakes we regret in life, but how dare anyone not walk in the shoes of another and feel the right to cast judgement. How dare McCain, and may I ask for you to understand the fear and pain of a young mother, trying to figure out how to survive, fit in, and lose the respect of her parents. You tell me you would support your daughter at age 16??? I doubt your words of truth sir, you would hide this from public knowledge, and sweep it quickly under the rug just like any other white collar polotician. I support Obama, I was raised in Oklahoma, a place where white girls were threatened never to go near black boys, but I tell you this… I was raised a Baptist, I believe in God, and I know the difference between right and wrong, McCain, you are wrong and I feel in my heart Obama is right. May God bless my descision, and I hope my Husband that I am 100% loyal too can see what I see, Obama would be the choice for our family regardless of history background. Thank you God for putting a man that signifies your work. Obama… promise to uphold God’s vision in family and He does not support homosexuality by any means, my those that feel this realize they have fallen to the circumfrences of TV, Music, and others in deaming what is right by the law of God himself. Removing Him from our schools and children’s hearts would be, in my opinion, detremental to society. God bless the Nation He created. Amen

The more the nation as a whole tolerates and even endorses this kind of thing, the more my children will be exposed to it. Not only will they be more exposed to it, it will no longer be seen as the immorality that it is.

And gay people being married won’t affect your children, either. Unless, of course, they are gay themselves and would like to get married.

It does too. I might have to raise my children here, for crying out loud.

The problem is that you are drawing the line for other people instead of just for yourself. You said I won’t ever see it the way you do without the Bible…well, neither will other people. Not everyone believes the Bible to be the ultimate, final Word of God. Yet, you believe they should live according to it because you believe it is. Draw lines for yourself…that’s the only thing you have the right to do (unless someone is being harmed). If you want to draw the line at marriage should be between a man and a woman, then, don’t marry a man, marry a woman. But, who are you to tell someone else they must draw the line there, too?

I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure the constitution does not define marriage as between a man and a woman.

You still cannot use the comparison of allowing a child to marry because this has been shown to be very harmful and damaging to a child. This is when it is ok to step in and draw a line for someone else because you’d be protecting someone from harm.

The bottom line is that if gay people get married, it has absolutely no effect on your life whatsoever. So, you are welcome to draw the line where you want, but only for yourself. It’s not your place to draw other people’s lines for them.

The homosexual/mentally-disabled comparison was not to compare the crime, but the uncontrollable condition of the person. Anyway, the Constitution declares the right to marry is exclusive to one man and one woman. Therefore, to allow gays to marry would be giving them “special” rights. You won’t ever see this the way I do if you’ve thrown out the Bible. We all believe there is a limit to these rights, but we all draw the line at different places. You might say it would be wrong to allow an adult to marry a child, but someone else would disagree. I draw the line at one adult male and one adult female.

You still have yet to explain how allowing homosexuals to live as they choose (by, for example, getting married) is affording them “special rights.” Or, how you could even possibly compare allowing homosexuals to marry to giving some sort of special rights to mentally ill people who want to walk around murdering people, when the latter would obviously be harmful to other people.

Being allowed to marry is not a “special” right. It would elevate homosexuals to having equal rights, not extraneous, special rights.
