It's ok to look the other way on some immoral issues but no others.




Immoral to who? Christians? Sorry, but need I remind you seperation of church and state? And what may be immoral to you, may be perfectly acceptable to someone else.

The classic example is people getting fired up over gun deaths, and those same people being nonchalant about DUI fatalities. Which one causes far more deaths than the other? Is either more sensible than the other? Yet we are suing gun manufacturers. Why? Why then are we not suing alcohol/automobile manufacturers? It's an attempt to forward a political agenda. An attempt to force someone else's beliefs on those that don't share them.




I still don't see what this issue has to do with gay marriage? Stop trying to compare completely unrelated topics. I too agree that suing gun manufacturers for a shooting death is ridicolous, yet alcohol companies are not sued for DUI related deaths. IN FACT, I even wrote a paper exposing the exact topic you brought up here for one of my classes. It comes down to personal responsibility, and I do not dispute for a second that suing gun manufacturers is total BS.

Liberals hold to both of those beliefs (anti-gun, lets not force our will on anyone else)




You know what, I am a pretty liberal person in many aspects, however I'm also conservative on several issues as well. I too fully support the 2nd amendment, as does my political party (Libertarian). I believe people should have the right to own guns, as protected in the constitution and I believe that many gun laws are completely ridiculous. Being a full-out liberal is just as dumb as being a full-out conservative IMO. Don't be afraid to switch sides on the issues and go against what your political party tells you to think.

and that the Gov't knows what is and is not good for you




That's exactly my point Sandman. It shouldn't be up to the government to decide what is and isn't best for people's personal lives. Changing the constitution to ban gay marriage is doing exactly what you seem to be so worried about. It should be up to gay people to decide if they want to marry their partner, not our government.

Sorry, I can't agree. Not at all.




I don't care if you agree with whether or not you think gay marriage is right. If you think gay marriage is wrong, then don't marry someone of your same sex, but don't tell homosexuals that they can't marry each other because you find it immoral. Voting No on 36 won't even legalize gay marriage - it will simply leave the topic open for debate as opposed to flat out ruling it illegal. Listen to what Kremit said - he understands this.

You said this is "an attempt to force someone else's beliefs on those that don't share them." No, that's what you're trying to do. You want to force your belief of this being immoral to prevent people who don't share your view from making their own decisions.

Can you not see your flagrant hypocrisies because you are too blinded by conservative and liberal labels?
