No I rad it and you were wrong and you're equivocating. You're the fucking moron who asked how it was different from Ice 9, to which I responded, to which you responded that EVERYTHING turns liquid at higher temps, whihc had nothing to do with anything in the firtst place. Don't get pissed at me if you can't state your point clearly. Even better, don't lie about trying to state a point you never made in the first place. You asked how it was different. I told you. You then claimed that everything did what I said this stuff did, which is wrong because it doesn't.
As far as reading ANYTHING you reply to, i'll be avoiding thatin the future, as you are clearly too stupid to converse with.
How dare you attempt to impart reason into this? You're supposed to call him an idiot and then talk about how he must be voting for bushkerrysomeothernamelessidiot. You have a lot to learn.
Um, no. The economy here is fine (I live in Florida and doubt you do) and making blanket generalizations are stupid.
My father is a building contractor, and he's making a boatload right now. If you're an orange grower though, you're taking it in the shorts.
The point? The economy is not one thing, but many industries that combine to make a composite. Right now our's (Florida's) is no worse off (or only very slightly) because of the hurricanes.
While I agree that the media in general likes 15 sound bites, the media in general doesn't have anyhthing to do with Kerry's website. Why doesn't he have specific detailed information on his policies posted there?
"Everything starts as a liquid at higher temps and gets solid at lower ones"
Not this stuff. Please read this carefully
This new substance STARTS AS A LIQUID WHEN COLDER (unlike most everything else which starts as a solid) AND BECOMES SOLID WHEN WARMED. THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF MOST OTHER SUBSTANCES. To reiterate colder=liquid while warmer=solid.
I'm sorry, but I don't have time for a flow chart.
It's the opposite because Ice 9 still started at liquid at higher temps and got solid at lower temps. This stuff starts as a liquid at lower temps and gets solid at higher temps. Opposites.
"No one thinks being gfay is just like being black"
You haven't been following have you? Mnay people on here think exactly that and have said it. That's the point many have made, and the reason I posted. Did you deliberately ignore that fact because you had soemthing to say?
As far as marrying who you love, that's not a right that's outlined ANYWHERE. So come up with a better argument, because "love" is no reason to write new laws.
Again with the spurious attempts to equate race with an activity.
White man and white woman ok Black man and black woman ok Could a white man marry a black woman? No, so there's an inequality. Could a black man marry a white woman? No, so another inquality.
Can I marry a woman? Yes Can I marry a man? No Can a gay man marry a woman? yes Can a gay man marry a man? No
No inequality there.
And if you can't see it, you're deliberately ignoring the truth because you want to win the argument. I'm right, it's ok to admit it.
I looked but you forgot to put it there. Or more likely, you just think it's absurd but can't figure out why.
Tell me why it's absurd. Exactly why, and not in a long winded post that attempts to draw parallels to racism and seclusion in an effort to make those who disagree appear to be bigots.
You won't be able to because I'm right. The ONLY person I can marry is a woman. The same is true of a gay man. I cannot marry a man, and neither can he.
You should have checked more closely (or paid attention in Biology)
Hyterectomies don't remove the ovaries, so those women can reproduce by removing eggs, fertilizing them, and finding a surrogate. It happens regularly.
Leave this to the adults, I hear your Xbox calling.
Well, you're wrong. The government's job is not to take MY money (I don't have any kids) and give it to you to make YOUR life easier. You need food and shelter? Ok I'm fine with it. Child care is a luxury you should be able to afford. If you can't you're on your own.
By the way, nice troll, but I couldn't help myself, I had to respond.
"I associate this issue strongly with the civil rights struggles of african americans"
Then you aren't thinking this through very carefully.
Scenario: I am a black man who walks into a KKK meeting. I ask to join. What do you think happens?
Scenario 2: I am a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed man who plays sports, drives fast cars, and shoots guns. I walk into a KKK meeting talking about how much I "hate niggers and jews and blah blah blah etc." What happens? Oh by the way I'm gay, but no one in the KKK meeting can tell because I didn't drop to my knees and start sucking anyone off.
The truth is that being black is what you are. When you walk into a room, everyone knows it right away.
Being gay is just an activity. The ONLY way anyone knows you're gay is if they're told.
The differenc is huge, whether you choose to accept it or not.
"As much as I personally find the practice repulsive, homosexuals should be entitled to the same rights that heterosexual couples are"
Gays already have the same rights as heterosexuals. I am straight, and can only marry a woman. A gay man can only marry a woman. Exactly equal.
Now before you rant on about "love" understand that the Government has no business involving itself in matters of "love" and stating that you "love" someone is not a compelling reason to change a laws.
"homophobes who hate the idea of two same-sex people actually being in love with each other"
First, why do people like you always descend to name calling? Isn't it possible that people have a legitimate reason for being against gay marriage? Is your argument so weak that you have to close off discussion by calling people who disagree with you "homophobes"?
Secondly, why should being in love with someone have anything to do with this? The government does not, and should not, recognize love as a compelling reason to do anything. Doing something that changes the fabric of society, and gay marriage will for good or ill, should be done for FAR more compelling reasons than "love".
I just did a search on google news and every source was reputable, and every article was "news" not opinion. None of the sources that were listed (i.e. useless-knowledge.com) were there.
The question is, how often is it too far one way or the other. It seems to me that when a site frequently updates, it is inevitable that at some point it will be unbalanced.
"Is it me just getting old..."
You're just grumpy because you need to have your Depends changed. It happens to old farts like you. And yes, young people do disregard old people because they are irrelevant, but mostly because they smell like pee.
The good news is that since you'll probalbly be suffering from dementia soon, you'll forget all about it.
First, your opinions about the behavior of a state are irrelevant, as are those of all the dimestore philosophers who have passed through the ages. The FACT is that Chinese society is so vastly different as to moot most attempts at analysis by western minds. Ask a diplomat or businessman about dealing with Chinese (in China) and you'll be enlightened.
Second, the right to freely express opinion has been censored everywhere, not just in China. It is not an absolute right, as has been proven time and again, regardless of your personal opinion about it.

Yes, and I don't feel bad about it. We all have our crosses to bear, and your relative simply opted out, as is their right.
And yes, I believe you should be allowed to off yourself.

That is the definition of equality.

I don't make enough money to qualify for a mortgage on a home. What will you do about this?
Well, you're wrong. The government's job is not to take MY money (I don't have any kids) and give it to you to make YOUR life easier. You need food and shelter? Ok I'm fine with it. Child care is a luxury you should be able to afford. If you can't you're on your own.

"I simply don't have time to write a novel on the subject on slashdot"
Then why did you? God damn man, if you're going to lie about not having enough time to write, don't do it in a 10 page dissertation.
So what if I'm a property owner who doesn't rent to non-married couples? I'll have to recognize what the government chooses or get sued.
I believe that does infringe on my rights, quite significantly.

The fact is, gays want NEW rights.
My guess is that the same religious concerns that would encourage polygamy would discourage not being married to the women you're with.
Except that medical ifertility can be treated. Last time I checked, nothing can be done to make a man pregnant.
Which suggests that your logic is bollocks.

Of course, it helps that you're right about everything you said...
