Are you debating an issue?

I just delivered the breaking news - are you debating an issue? The question of equal protection under the Constitution underlies the issue - at least for me. Meanwhile, in my own family, my niece is ardently against gay marriage - thinks it will despoil her own vows. Needless to say - we disagree. Just a few comments. Give it a try - as opposed to your usual bleating about cut & paste - which is mostly without merit because those who complain fail to learn by not reading the links posted (too hard to understand the real issues I suppose for them) and whether they agree or not refuse to expand their understanding of the issues - meanwhile they prattle on as if they are debating (or so they think and believe). I don't challenge their beliefs (that they think they are debating), but I do challenge their underlying assumptions which is fair game!

Well....if you look closer.....I didn't mention your habitual use of Copy and Paste.
I asked if you were proposing debate..

Now I see you are running a news service.......how thoughtful

So....why didn't you post this in a thread like http://forums.techguy.org/civilized-...-note-2-a.html
or do you see that as an offensive question?

Interesting....so, what underlying assumptions are you attacking with this thread?
( hope I haven't offended you again ........... )

Nope but marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Is it just me, or have we covered this before?

regardless, as blackmirror states, love is blind.

frequently deaf and dumb, too.
