Oregon county bans all marriages

[The Bastard]

Ha! You crazy Canadians and your... um... money! No, wait, that's not right. Your pootine(sp)! Jerks!

It's spelt 'poutine' just so you know for next time.

You Americans sure got quite the interesting situation there. The simple solution is to move up here to Canada. Seriously though, this is gonna get really messy unless a compromise is reached soon.

Thats funny! As! Hell!

On the one hand, we're supposed to treat everyone equally. On the other hand, we're supposed to tell this one group over here that they're not good enough. Tell you what, we'll just stop entirely until you all sort it out.

Way to go, small Oregon county who's name I forget!

Seriously, I approve 100%. It's not just lateral thinking, it's lateral action well taken.

I think it's funny looking at this from another angle, Bush says gays can't marry, now Oregon says nobody can marry. See now if every state was doing this, then that means equal rights for everyone, including gays of course.

Marriage is too overrated anyway.

Not when it's to the right person for the right reasons.

So... if marriage is outlawed, is polygamy alright then?

Voltz, I hate your fucking avatar. I was so scared of her when I was a kid...
...though, I'll probably just get used to it.

Honestly, I'm damn sick of this whole argument. The way I see it: Gay Marriages are outlawed means I say, "Good. I'm not gay and I don't agree with homosexuality. Still, nothing's changed. I'm going back to bed." Gay marriages are not outlawed means I say, "Oh, well. Gay marriages aren't recognized by my religion, so I don't care. I'm going back to bed."
This is almost as bad as OJ.

This is funny as hell, and a great way to handle it, IMHO.

I still say that until people who are against homosexual marriage can produce ONE example of how marriage will be damaged by two gay people getting married, they have no business standing in the way. I'm also really torn on how this is all going to turn out. The more logical part of me says that in a few months we'll be past this and it will all be forgotten. However, a deeper part of me says that the genie has been let out of the bottle, if you will, and that now marriage for homosexual couples is down to simply when, not if.

who knows. Our depression may end up like the depression that germany had pre-WW2, ending with some sort of idoit being put into power to fix things who ends up putting a price on gay peoples' heads or something. People are getting so sick of things that are being done now, all it would take is for things to get worse and someone to take advantage of that.

You know, I hate to be the one to look at Ironplant's comment and immediately draw the paralell to GWB, but I have to. "ending with some sort of idoit being put into power to fix things" He's been in power for a few years now. He isn't Hitler. But there are just too many bad feelings I get when I look back at what Bush has done. The Patriot Act, the War in Iraq (which I believe will eventually turn out to be a good thing, but he never once convinced me or much of the free world that this was actually necesary.), trying to amend the constitution something like 5 times, and also trying to bully other nations into supporting the war in Iraq. Not to mention his total disregard for whats happening with the environment.

Anyway, good for that Oregon county. It's ideas like that which will force the issue.

Why would gays want to be married anyway? So they, too, can lose half their stuff when they realize the person they married isn't going to change and get a divorce? WTF? Gay alimony. There's something.
