read Genesis and you'll see that the creation story pretty much mirrors evolution anyway. First there was nothing, then stars formed, light, planets formed, fish, then animals, then man. It's the same damn thing morons.
So where in the evolutionary ladder do the talking snakes and rib-clone women fit?
Citizen, your Green name designation indicates that you lack the proper security clearance to have knowledge of KillBot presets. Unauthorized knowledge of KillBot presets is TREASON! Please report to the nearest termination booth for Summary Execution. The Computer is your Friend!
^ While I agree with you in principal, I don't see how this can be practical. What about health insurance benefits? In the case of divorce, who gets custody of the children? How are marital assets divided? In the case of a marriage involving an existing child, how are adoption rights handled? In legal proceedings, spouses are shielded from being compelled to provide testimony against each other. There are legal ramifications and protections granted by marriage that are difficult to simply walk away from.
Do you mean to suggest that marriage works the same in every kind of society? I think you need to check your facts on that and get back to me if you do.
My facts are solid. You need to check your assumptions.
No bullshit about a "public policy exception", please, there is no such thing in the Constitution. The Full faith and credit clause does not say "...unless the other state really, really, really doesn't want to."
The issue with gay marriage is that at it's core, it's legislating a religious institution. Marriage is defined by religion, a very clear violation of several points in the constitution.
Not quite. Sociology 101 tells us that Marriage is culturally universal. It is a social contract, not necessarily a religious one.
You're the one making silly claims of an invisible sky-daddy who doles out arbitrary rewards and punishments based on his own random whims that you try to interpret by reading book authored (and reauthored) over the span of several millenia. I'd have to say that the burden of proof is on your shoulders.
The thing is, they *didn't* accuse him of shoplifting. In most (all?) states, a store owner has the right to detain you on the accusation of shoplifting until the police arrive. He challenged the manager to "either accuse me, or let me go". The manager did neither.
Not at all. He shops at a store and the expectation is he will aid that store in preventing shop lifting so as to keep his price lower. They check receipts to make sure the right thing was rung up.
Bullshite! The only obligation a customer has to prevent shoplifting is to pay for the items that they remove from the store. Once the transaction is made, the merchandise becomes his private property. The clerk at the door has no more right to demand to see his receipt and merchandise than he has to demand a peek at her sweater puppies.

Would a "free" state be forced to recognize the "slave" status of an escaped slave under this clause?

Remember, this is the "John Roberts" Supreme Court we're talking about...

^Yeah! And before you know it, the Congress will try to throw out the Presi.... errr, wait...
Agreed entirely. The manager was in clear violation of the law at this point. He's lucky *his* ass wasn't the one slapped with felony charges!

Yippeeee!!

Yeah! Damn cocksmoking teabaggers! :-)
Was your inability to fix this problem due to not having an open PCI slot, or the $5.00 needed to buy a game adapter? ;)
