You've combined 2 issues, for some reason. Don't allow gay marriage because of the effect it will have on employers? I like how you say 'It's a value you believe in'. Do you believe in gays?
I don't think gay people are responsible for the erosion of society as we know it. I think that's down to people gradually over time realising that they don't have to stay with an asshole of a partner if they don't need to. So therefore more couples split and women leave the slavery of traditional marriage armed with greater independence brought through by greater equality. Combine that with a lack of having the fear of god in you and there's your result. If two men love each other and can marry, then that's an excellent thing for them. Are you a Sasha Baron Cohen character or something? That's right. Because all gay men have to bum everything in sight. That's such a "backs against the wall lads" mentality. Chris
I don't know why democrats think they have won a victory. Nothing will get done unless they have a majority vote and there are still 100,000 strategic votes uncounted in Virgina which could "take back" congress from their grasp.
Well, if you're MattUK, you pretend they don't exist. Otherwise, like anything else, they are kind of hard to miss:
And if you were blackbug, you'd keep up with other threads to know what the jab was in reference to. Touche
Now that's what I'm talking about! Kudos to you casper, and I sincerely mean that! Here's why: My post was a jab at Matt, to see if he had any pride in his country. To see if he cared about something bigger than himself (and making sure the actions of terrorists are swept under the carpet.) He didn't bite. But you did. You stood up for your country and did so with pride. In fact, he simply proved the point that I was trying to make. He won't stand up for his country. The only thing he stands up for are the actions of terrorists. Then, he further goes on to ridicule you, for standing up for your country. Me, I applaud you! It's refreshing to see people stand up for and be proud of something bigger than their own egos and self interests. There's nothing wrong with being proud of where you come from, your country and standing up for it. That's patriotism, and I respect that any given day of the week. Nicely done!
Who said I don't have pride in my country? Or are you making assumptions again? I'm very proud to be British. The problem that you have is that you equate patriotism with blind allegence and refusal to criticise. That's two completely different things. One is patriotism and the other is stupidity which you have in abundance. Coming from any country doesn't make you superior to anyone else, though it's clear that you think you are
Great win by the Democrats, praise be to God. Hopefully they will bring some sanity back to a government that is under Satanic influences currently. - MENJ
Imagine that, now you are proud! Ah, criticize, like sweeping things under the carpet and refusing to criticize or even acknowledge problems. I agree, you have a huge problem there. But, at least you acknowledge you have the problem. Question is, what will you do, now that you are aware? True, it doesn't make you superior. But he stood up for his. And you chose to ridicule him for it. All in the name of "multiculturalism!"
Did you witness any dancing in the streets? I'm not convinced they can bring any sanity back to Iran, but like you, I hope they can curb Ahmadinejad's satanic influences.
I did a victory dance in my living room once CNN announced that Nancy Pelosi is confirmed as Speaker-designate. - MENJ
Where did I say I wasn't? Making assumptions again are you? What I've always done. Speak up against and vote against what I see as wrong. Unlike you who blindly follows what he is told to think. You really do have a lot in common with a Communist I didn't ridiclule. I pointed out that being European doesn't make you superiour to an American. If you think otherwise I won't disagree with you
How did you recently put it? Something along the lines of "your silence makes it so easy." I think I'll go with you on that Your silence does make it easy. If you took your own advice, you'd be a lot better off! And that was my point, it's all about you. Never for anything greater than MattUK. You did, but since it's all about you, you'd never admit it.
