So cool how you alter people's quotes! Another Rebublican/Nazi move. Not even Tabzer does that! Are you calling me out for being white? Oh no! I the big bad white american guy. The Man!! Sound the alarms! I totally agree I am exceptional (lol).

You're still not qualified for actual thought considering your intrarectalcrainialitis. Your opinion doesn't matter.

On that note, I'm out before I get a ban hammer. You trolls are never louder than when you cry to Admin. Please stop speaking. Your ignorance breeds more ignorance. And please,dont reproduce.

I have done so and for similar reasons:

Paraphrasing off-hinged rants and mocking ridiculous takes. Though I don't believe I have done so to misrepresent or deceive people, it is against the rules.

So technically, I don't do that in the active sense, but personally don't see the damage as long as the message and the origins are clear.

Your gatekeeping of the conversation based on your list of qualifiers is exactly bigotry. I know you know. I'm saying it out loud for the people who don't understand or appreciate your self-depreciating sense of irony.

Blah blah blah I support racisim,homophobia, catholicism and capitalism! Yada yada yada.

My mistake. You, in fact, do alter facts and quotes to fit your rhetoric! No surprise. Or was it fake news? Should just alter and burn everything,right comrade.? Are you claiming my refusal to take your moronic babble as bigotry? Lol I'm bigoted tward bigots!

You're one of the "what about pedophile's rights?" guys aren't you. I guess stupid people need representation too.


You should go to Texas.

No more flame bait. Enjoy your thinly veiled hate speech circle jerk.

Im out ✌️

Thanks for providing another example of how to misrepresent people by using this example. People need exercises like this to increase literacy. It's a bit of a pandemic. Of course, we know that there is a difference between altering material facts and utilization of caricature (rhetoric) to demonstrate points. People who scan a prose for buzz words and potential personal attacks miss the nuance of things like information or perspective.

Are you claiming my refusal to take your moronic babble as bigotry?

Don't be silly. Who would claim that?

You're one of the "what about pedophile's rights?" guys aren't you.

No. What gave you that impression? I don't advocate special protections for pedophiles.

I'm still waiting to hear why you think I am a communist.

Comrade, did you not tell him about the secret order?
I think he just misinterpreted something I said, like that everyone should have access to fresh air. I don't know what his mom tells him.

She's a loose end.:creep:

I jest. Can't help it. Bless his mom.

And full of self absorbed foreign turds who think their opinions matter. You don't!



Bigoted and asinine. You are talking about your own shortcomings as if it's someone else! How cool.



Oh they have brains, just no hearts.



You're ESL, proof is in the posting. You need to work on your comprehension.



Why come to this thread then? To harass.and force your ideas down others throats! Sounds like a republican. Definately the American way.



But he's stupid and bigoted. Very American!



What are you complaining about? Empathy tward the mentally deficient is obviously how how you've managed to live so long.



You are an antagonistic egotist. Why are you always in American politics threads? You are disrespectful bigoted troll. I feel like i can speak for all Americans when I say that I am proud you are not one of us. Go back to your communist manifesto and leave the thinking individuals to discuss real issues.



It's obvious you're ESL. That guy is definitely not "woke".

im not sure i understand? how does stupid and bigoted correlate to american?

Is it accurate to describe the bill as the Respect for Marriage Act when it undefines marriage? It doesn't stipulate age, species, nor consent. It merely mentions the broad term, "individual." If this bill was truly necessary, then can each state be trusted to preserve such clauses? Should every state be compelled to recognize another state's marriage even including ridiculous examples such as the following?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle...so-it-cant-be-evicted-by-landlords/ar-AAWzOQY

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/woman-married-rag-doll-claims-142812225.html

https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/28/health/rise-of-digisexuals-intl/index.html

Below is the text with the broad language as well as a link to the full text of the bill:
Ҥ 7. Marriage

“(a) For the purposes of any Federal law, rule, or regulation in which marital status is a factor, an individual shall be considered married if that individual’s marriage is between 2 individuals and is valid in the State where the marriage was entered into or, in the case of a marriage entered into outside any State, if the marriage is between 2 individuals and is valid in the place where entered into and the marriage could have been entered into in a State.

“(b) In this section, the term State means a State, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any other territory or possession of the United States.

“(c) For purposes of subsection (a), in determining whether a marriage is valid in a State or the place where entered into, if outside of any State, only the law of the jurisdiction applicable at the time the marriage was entered into may be considered.”.

Full text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404/text

I do recognize that our culture celebrates polyamory (a euphemism for whoring one's self out to whomever one capriciously fancies without regard for consequence; inherent selfishness derived from enslavement to sensual pleasure), hence the anti-marriage sentiment expressed by some in this very thread. If this is the prevailing popular sentiment in our culture, if the contemporary cultural trend is insistent upon affirming the outrageous, and if marriage divorces, broken families, child custody battles, and complicated mixed family dynamics are indeed common, then I fail to see how this bill achieves its title. It seems to be ineffectual in addressing such issues caused by the disrespect for marriage. It even serves to further affirm the current dysfunction. I think it would be better that this bill was not drafted, even with the lip service payed toward those raising concerns regarding religious conscience added in by the Senate's amendment to the bill.

Marriage will always be a women and a man, original definition from it's original state from prehistoric age, all the rest is rubbish....Nero Tried and made everyone laugh around him, he even told people around him he had wed his pet. Whatever they say, they can call something else union or whatever. A cat will always be a cat, not a dog, it's only logic state.....Whatever a law from unreasonable people try to change that, anyway almost no more people cares now, so why not make people happy? Make happy the north americans where it comes from, they want to rule the world, but they are weak at world soccer.

It has now passed the House.
It passed the House on 07/19/2022. It passed the Senate on 11/29/2022 and is pending the President's signature before it becomes law. Please see the link below:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404/text

There is a neat box toward the top of the page that very conveniently includes a legislative progress tracker. You can also click/tap on the "Actions" tab to view legislative action regarding the bill. This is where a person can view the actions taken by both congressional bodies.

They made changes when it reached the senate, so it had to go back through the house for additional approval. Both bodies have to agree on the same bill.

Ah, you're both right. I apologize. I forgot about the bill bouncing back to the House if the Senate amends it.

Marriage will always be a women and a man
You apparently like to keep your head in the sand, and that's fine. The world will continue to change and evolve without you. Nothing stays the same forever, and I wish more people would realize that. Letting any two people in love get married is called progress. People like you that keep thinking that old barbaric way will always be seen as an enemy of the rest of us, because we just want everyone to have the same basic human rights.

Don't like gay marriage? Then don't get one. But don't dictate the lives of others based on your personal beliefs.

Religious base for love only being for a man and womon has already taken a friend of me, for he couldn't choose between religion and love he took his own live.
The only real thing showed in such religions is god can't understand love..
For those not accepting another human as he or she is, it sickens me.
