I have a few friends that are gay. I'm all for same sex marriage. What ever makes you happy. Now screwing goats. That's just not cool! :lol:

 
I say let them get married, give them the same rights as me and let them risk half their stuff and their own sanity and when they rush in and make a bad choice they can pay out Alimony and even Child support on kids that arent theirs since they were the legal guardians it will be a true test of the law why not increase the divorce rate a bit faster since its heading up anyways. I wager half the people ranting for it will reconsider marriage the second they have the right. We need to be fighting for more important rights in this country anyways, currently theres a war brewing over our right to arm and protect ourselves.

I myself have been happily married 11 yrs as of yesterday which is amazing Im told these days since we were married at the age of 19 and 20. I wouldnt want to keep anyone from being able to experience that.........

Agreed. I don't ever want to be married, I don't see the point if you're not religious(the reason I think the gov should stay out) , but I don't want people to be denied the right to marry.

There is no more important right than equality. carrying guns does not even come close.

 
Im for equality and I made it clear this subject shouldnt even be an issue but you walk in my shoes and get stabbed in the arm pit by an intruder in your house at 2 am and then shot in the hip 2 years later by another and tell me the right to carry and protect yourself doesnt stand out. To even down play the second amendment seems unamerican to me. Give me a reason why there shouldnt be armed protection at schools whether it be by teachers who are trained or by security? I can give you atleast 30 reasons why this is on the minds of millions of citizens now.

 
Wow, I'm sorry to hear you've been attacked in your own home, sounds like more than once Michael? But I'm sure many teachers will be armed in the near future which will more than likely be a good thing for defenseless students, I think we all know those events and would agree, but I do wonder where it will end? Will people get in a fender bender and then get shot just out of pure anger, will a good old fist fight turn into the wild west more often than not? I'm not against anyone with half a brain carrying a gun for self defense but there are many people who don't have half a brain that may not make the right judgment call when push comes the shove.

I myself hope I never feel the need to carry a gun in public even though I live 20 miles outside Detroit(if you don't know things can get pretty sketchy around there), I do have very good self defense skills, they won't help me much against a bullet I know but if I shot and killed someone it would always be on my mind if I really needed to go that far, in todays world though my point of view may be on the way out. Maybe some kind of mental test before you can get one would help?

I'm totally on the same page with you as far as let the same sex people get all the headaches we get with marriage, they won't even know what hit'm(Haha)...

Congrats on the 11 yrs my friend!

 
Yeah I get the risks but with a bad economy, cuts in police protection and other related issues we will get to a point where most people wont feel safe without some sort of personal protection. As for my own experiences I grew up in one of the worst places in the US and ended up inheriting a house so I gave staying there a go, We made it 8 yrs there before heading to TN in 2011. Carter Street in Atlanta 30314 was ranked in the top 5 most dangerous places in the US to live. With laws on how you have to store your firearms and someone breaks in between you and your kids rooms I had no choice but to take on the situation while the wife unlocked the safe to get to the guns. I know its bad up there Nick I hope you fair better than we did.
