    Because in China it's the Law. And here they fought to follow the law. It's just the US government decided that the law does not apply to them.

    The longest running sea-level measurements are recorded at Amsterdam, in the Netherlands—part of which (about 25%) lies beneath sea level, beginning in 1700.[44] Since 1850, the rise averaged 1.5 mm/year.

    Since when does 1.5mm X 163 = 9 feet

    If your saying that if it doesn't match the size of WW2 then yes you are correct, But to say a 10 year occupation after invading a sovereign nation isn't a major conflict is flat out ridiculous as it destabilized an entire region.

    Well that's just because, corruption is illegal, and congress took care of that. All those things that got them in trouble in the past have been fixed, they made them legal, you just have to follow the rules. (now it's not the CEO but a registered lobbyist and they don't come to Washington they just send a jet).

    Actually why not try and get the ear of the politician that you disagree with. I mean it beats wasting money supporting one who already agrees with you. Once you have his ear, you can start to change his opinion. It's amazing how flexible these old geezers can be when money is on the line.

    The hell it is. There is nothing Christian about marriage. Now stop trying to take all the worlds rituals. Marriage predates Christianity. (How the fuck do you think Jesus's parent got married you fucking moron)

    Sorry but your an ignorant troll and need to be treated as such.

    Not it's not. it's a bigoted belief, its the modern day version of "Separate but Equal"

  18. Re:problem mistated. on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Marriage is a civil construct, Civil Unions were a recent construct to try and appease the LGBT crowd (with less benefits then marriage provides)

    If you are right that marriage is religious and civil unions are civil, then where were civil unions before 1989 and why are atheists married.
    Marriage as recognized by the government is a civil contract between 2 people. Civil unions are the "separate but equal" of the debate.

    I don't watch Tom Cruise movies, but it has absolutely nothing to do with his beliefs. His movies just suck.

    We're not begging for anything. We are demanding that all citizens be viewed as equals in the governments eyes. When a state issues a marriage license, it is not the place of the federal government to say, We will only accept these licenses and not those.

  22. Re:Really?!? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Where do you see tolerance in Ender's Game. Ender is never tolerated, even after he wins. Ender is always the third. Only one person in the whole world tolerates him, his sister.

    Maybe if you view the book as succeeding in the face of intolerance, but it's a real stretch to say that is the message. I think more likely is that the message is brutality wins and even the good have it in them.

    Yep, it's basically the philosophy of guilt. Do what ever you have to to succeed as long as you feel bad about it afterwards.
