Yes on Prop 8

Excellent video, with an expert explaining the results if this proposition fails. What a courageous law professor, to lend his opinion, when we all know how he will be harrassed by the opposition. Thank you for having the courage!

It starts with one thing and leads to many things! Satan's first greatest trick is to make you believe he doesn't exist! His second greatest trick is to wrap up evil in the disguise and make it seem like it's good or something! The next thing you know they'll demand for Health Books to be changed and many other things! Gay marriage is wrong!

8. Christians are arguing that this ruling will eventually lead to polygamy and incest. Do they mean polygamy and incest like in the Bible? From the America's Best Christian, Betty Bowers, website: w a t c h ? v = O F k e K K s z X T w & f e a t u r e = p l a y e r _ e m b e d d e d

7. Marriage died a long time ago, and has become virtually meaningless. It is no longer a permanent thing, just something people try for a few years. A lot of my friends and family members are at the age where they're getting married, and I've got to admit that when they tell me about it, I almost immediately think, "I wonder how long they'll last." That's how dead marriage is.

5.c. END QUOTE (see NOTE in 5.a.)

6. One Christian said that the judge is forcing gay marriage on them. I'm sorry, but I didn't see anybody forcing you to have a gay marriage. It won't make even one bit of difference in the way you live your life. Maybe if your dumb ass wasn't so concerned with what other people are doing in their personal lives, it wouldn't matter to you as much?

5.b See NOTE in 5.a. Should we ban you from our country clubs, schools and even water fountains? What if we can get a majority vote on that? Was it OK to keep blacks segregated? Or was it always a violation of their civil rights? Should we make it illegal for a white girl to marry you, like the laws of many states dictated in the 1960's? Wait, don't answer that! You're an ungrateful bastard who, once granted his civil rights, bails on everybody else who still doesn't have theirs.

NOTE: the following, the rants of a black person, regarding a black preachers response concerning propr8. It contains a vulgar and racist language. I am in no way responsible for the following quote: QUOTE: 5. I saw a response from a black preacher, who made the points in #2, #3 and #4 before I stopped reading. But the irony was not lost on me. Hey you, black preacher! Should we vote to move your black ass back to the back of the bus? ...

4.c. It doesn't matter how many people voted against it. There is a very different process for amending the constitution, and California Proposition 8 was not it. There will come a time, I predict, when the majority in the US are not Christian, maybe not even religious at all. If that majority were to vote to ban religion and/or Christianity, you'd better believe the Christians would be crying about their constitutional rights!

[TheThordir]

4.b. I've seen a lot of angry people accusing the judge of thinking he's more important than the 7 MILLION people (see point #3) who voted for the ban. No, the judge doesn't think that. But he is smarter than them, and does understand more about law than they do. They were voting on a measure which, in the judge's ruling, was determined to be against the constitution.

[TheThordir]

4. A lot of Americans are really bad at civics. The US is not a democracy, it is a constitutional democratic republic. They have no idea how their laws or government work. What are they teaching in American schools? These people are uneducated. I'm not American, but even I understand this much better than they do. You cannot override the US constitution with a simple majority vote of the population.

[TheThordir]

3.c. Also, it's strange that all of the negative TV coverage I've seen makes a really strong point about the 7 million voters who voted for the ban, but not a single one made even a single mention of the 6.4 million people who voted against it. They want to subtly make ignorant people think that the vote was overwhelming, or that very few people voted against the ban.

[TheThordir]

3.b. Young people are more tolerant, and older generations are dying off. It's only a matter of a little time, maybe as little as 5 years, before the results would swing the other way. If it's then put to another referendum and gay marriage is legalised, would the Christians then scream that the voice of the people matters the most? Again, I think not. Their agenda is not about any kind of democratic ideal, it's about their ancient book.
