I know as of now I can eat a cream cheese bagel! That was my whole point! Jeez, I try to break it down into simple words that a gorilla could understand, and you still don't get it.

- And for the record, no one's rights were being taken away..

- actually they were. that's what we were talking about, remember? the whole No Gay Marriage Petition thing. I'm pretty sure you brought it up actually. If straights are allowed to do it, and now they don't want the gays to do it, that's where it becomes a right. If it passed, the straights would have the right to get married, and the gays wouldn't have this right. How are you not understanding this? It's like as of right now, I have the right to sit here and eat a cream cheese bagel if I want. But if a bunch of people send a petition in saying everyone named Pissin isn't allowed to eat a cream cheese bagel anymore, then you are taking away my right to eat a cream cheese bagel.

OK, Pissin, let me break it down into simple words a baboon could understand and maybe you'll finally get it. Please read carefully.

The "right" to marry that you keep on about has legal boundries. All citizens, whether they be gay or straight have the same right to marry, according to, and in compliance with the law. That does not mean that a same-sex couple who co-habitate and want to call themselves "married" will be or have the right to be recognized as married by the state or society at large - presently they are not, nor have they ever been in this country. So nobody's "rights" have been "taken away."

I'd like to add that being against gay "marriage" is in no way equal to bigotry - at least not for me. But we've already discussed this here.

Since you refuse to take my suggestion to check what's already been said, and would rather simply engage in a lot of inflammatory rhetoric and insults, it's clear to me that you really don't want to engage in any kind of meaningful discourse on the matter, but are just trying to stir up trouble for kicks. I'm not going to repeat what I've already said, so I'm not going to continue discussing it with you. If you really care about the issue and would like to further the cause in some way, it would really behoove you to read some of those backposts so you might be able to come up with some arguments that make sense and have some validity. Because while you like to quickly belittle others' opinions on a matter that you don't seem to understand, what you have said up to now is gibberish based on false premises and faulty reasoning.
