We can set it up in my living room, get it working, then check out fox news. . Do you have any NIC's/sound cards laying around that would work on win2k?

The right to marry and the right to serve in the military openly come to mind. They have the right to be domestic parteners, with all the same legal rights, Marriage is a religious thing , I know of no religion that believes gay is acceptable!

billvon 2,470 #112 December 9, 2010 >They have the right to be domestic parteners Agreed. They just don't have the right to marry. >with all the same legal rights No. Federal law lists 1,138 protections afforded to married couples that are not afforded to domestic partners. All states recognize marriage; very few states recognize each other's domestic partnership agreements. >The Military does not allow many Open life styles, Gay is just one of them! Show me the rule that prohibits openly heterosexual soldiers from serving, then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, not too many, no. Here in California, it was legal for about six months, and is now illegal again. It is illegal in most places in the US. Of course, by your logic, we can ban private gun ownership - and as long as some people still own guns, then there will be no change in gun rights!

GOD I really do hope karma is real and these guys get to walk in other shoes a few hundred times around the sun. When I read a post like that I often feel the same way. In this case, the responder isn't an anonymous jackass that I can write off as some privileged white guy who doesn't have a clue. The responder is a guy whom I consider to be a dear friend and know to be a kind, generous, reasonable and thoughtful young man, regardless of the fact that he has attempted to kill me no fewer than 2 times. So, we're going to go have a beer and discuss the root feelings behind the comment. Hopefully, Lou will be back to report in on the results of the beer summit.Owned by Remi #?

loumeinhart 0 #120 December 9, 2010 Billvon, I take your point. But I'm going to revise Amazon's post that I replied to: QuoteIt is truly sad that so many conservatives actually believe that gay people or minorities in this country actually have the same rights to marry and serve in the military as other Americans, and are only seeking all those "special rights Now I can't argue the above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #121 December 9, 2010 Quote Now I can't argue the above. Quit diggin', Louie. I'll argue that while there is no explicit "right" to employment in Ohio, it's not possible for my employer to fire me because I'm female, while it is possible for them to fire me because I'm gay. You think many of your gay friends are doing well or better than you? Maybe they are, but only on the whim or tolerance of a company that sees their value and contributions as employees instead of some other non-important aspect of their humanity. I've worked m-fcking hard to get where I am WRT my job. It would suck to get fired because someone saw me, say, enjoying a hotdog with some friends at a gay bar. I can't resist adding: Now, it would be pretty funny if you got fired because someone saw you, say, enjoying a hotdog with some friends at a gay bar. Love, Kelly.Owned by Remi #?

Post 76. "Apparently you think YOU do." - Implication that rush is making a decision about whose religion gets disrespected, when he's advocating treating everyone equally. "Geez...I forgot what the thread is about. I'm having such fun reading your closed-minded inanities! " Still waiting on the explanation of how treating everyone equally is 'close-minded' or inane. "Hard to argue against that, eh? -Well, not if you might think flying is a "right" of some sort, I guess." It's not. "-Well, not if you might want to accommodate people so they CAN fly." They *can* fly - they just have to go through the same security procedures as everyone else.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
