Haha, hey that was for Bird, poor fella needs to enjoy some winning from time to time. Really though I thought you were a Warriors fan. And you're doing an excellent job.
Naw, not a Warriors fan. I like their arena and style, but when it comes to closely following teams, I only really follow the Lakers and Rockets consistently year in and out. Other than that, I've taken interests in Atlanta and New York. New York for D'Antoni, and Atlanta for Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.
Well there are some other threads on this subject if you look around. The Blazer forum is still having their own tangent on this.
I mentioned this in the other thread already, but I'll post it again. So there are a few reasons people vote for this. People like Barack Obama (who has fought for gay/lesbian rights all his life) believes in civil unions solely based on semantics. It is merely a religious term to him and that is pretty much the only difference he wants to make.
Gay men and women conceive children all the time. In fact, they have sex the way the Catholic Church intends it to be - for procreation only.
Well then Obama is a dirty bigot too, and a dumbass to boot considering he's a minority and all. God I hate religion. It's so silly that some made up shit is the reasoning behind so many real-life issues.
Obama's a bigot? Read the article, he's fought for their rights plenty of times. Calm down everyone. It is a difference in opinion of semantics, he's no dumbass full of hate.
ROAR!!! but no really how can you be African American in the USA and not be for equal rights for everyone. "Uh, yeah I'm black, and I know about all that shit that happened before the 1960's and all, and slavery wasn't the best thing but ah...marriages for everyone but gays." like wtf yo?
He thinks civil unions are or will become equal to "marriage" (federal vote later mandating this? Whatever). Given that this issue is quite minor.
So call it marriage, what's the big deal. You say: It's a religious distinction I say: Keep the church and state separated. Let them use the damn word. The semantic meaning of marriage holds so much more value than that of Civil Union.
