Further thoughts on Prop 8 and human rights.

First off, TheBigHo111!! I didn't forget that you tagged me; really I didn't!! I downloaded the stuff you gave me, and they are working fine... I just have to finish the stupid video and get it up. I know it's taking too long, but I promise that the next video I put up will be my own "three underrated channels" thing.

Now, with that out of the way...

I know that my prop 8 video caused a bit of a stir, and I don't think that I fully expressed my views on it all. So I try to explain some more about it. I apologize for the quirkiness of the sound... my computer was really being an ass while I was recording.

I said something about linkage in this video... so, here we go.

This article gives a rather interesting take on Prop 8 and gay rights in general. I don't think people are going to agree with it, but I think it's at least worth thinking about.

This is old news, but it surprises me how many people still don't know about it. In case you don't know about the hidden motives of the Salvation Army, I suggest you check this out. To sum up though; if you care about equality among all American citizens and don't want to see religious organizations enforce their views on others through legislation, then you won't put any money in those contribution pots.


Soundtrack:

None. I couldn't think of any music for this, and I was tired of trying to come up with something.

You are so right about HUMAN RIGHTS being teh basis that should hold all of this together ........I have always felt this way .....especially after i realized the US never ratified the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights!

[TheNeocatZone]

Superb video once again, man! In fact, the word I often like to use in place of 'human rights' is individual liberty. Individual liberty doesn't favor any one group over another and who can argue against liberty? Great video, Swordsage.

That video proves that you are a intelligent human being =P

not much out there...

People getting bored and they seperate themselves, only to regroup to various groups and than fight each other.

This applies to everything... fight for rights, nations, wars, religions you name it

simply pathetic

[Swordsage]

I was talking about gay people here, not white people.  So when you come here and talk about "those people". what am I supposed to infer from that? Honestly, do you even pay attention to whats going on before you decide to comment on videos?

[ILuvEthnicGuys]

I'm agreeing with most of what you're saying in this vid. We should all be fighting for human rights -- not homos for homo rights, blacks for black rights, and women for women's rights, etc.

It's so easy for us as humans to loose sight of the bigger picture when we are so mired down in our own problems. I feel the media has a hand in this by futher keeping certain groups apart.

[tiecuando]

I agree.

[Anon1696]

I think you're totally right.

[Flippy92]

I absolutely agree.. we have to stop fighting for gay rights, black rights, immigrant rights, etc. and simply fight for human rights if we want to truly make progress

[Boucrate]

You are doing a fine job Sir! Leading us back to the essential that we are all equal! Really appreciate your video. Merci!*****

You are always right on with your observations my friend. I just wish that everyone shared these beliefs as we do. Peace.
