It's quite apparent you don't give 2 shits. But thank you for making my point about bigots!

I’ve heard a ton of jets in the white mountains the last 3-4 days. More than I’ve ever heard living hear. I saw 2 flying in formation near Wildcat. Wonder what’s going on? Preparing for Russia/China?

The overuse of the word apparent is very funny here.

It smelled like shit. It looked like shit. It was, in fact, shit.

No apparently about it, guys.

But then they wouldn’t be able to deploy all those pylons and tell people to avoid the area!! Let the boys have their day!! /s

The state police called them in to help with enforcing the speed limit.

Good for you. I'm glad your avatar has a mask on too.

Please don't shoot the camera man...I was wayyy off guard.

There are benefits that come from being married in the eyes of the state which is what the issue of gay marriage is predicated upon, not to force the religious concept of marriage to include nontraditional concepts. Implied rights are easier given than relinquished, so we can't just remove all state sanctioned benefits of marriage to promote equality.

The Church is still able to deny facilitating the marriage in the eyes of God. It is worth noting that with the decreasing participation in organized religion, it has become increasingly tolerant (on the whole) of marginalized groups which is a trend I expect to continue.

One more thought...this can't be the only sex book in the library and people are up in arms over this? Some parents are gonna have a RUDE awakening when their kids get to taking health class

Your vote doesn't actually change anything. You can't change how other people vote. You have zero individual control over the force others want to use against you. Democracy = Evil system.

Lee and Barrington FDs could have just rolled in and washed it off the road. It is just manure...

Two choices: either teach your kids about sex yourselves or have them learn about it through a book...OR keep them in the dark and let them learn the hard way..but I don't recommend this...oh wait that's three options

While it is, the common replacement of “Romani peoples” doesn’t accurately capture people of the lifestyle from other ethnic groups. Vagrants is arguably a less offensive term, but I digress.

What a shitty situation

The boys from Maine!

This gave me a headache

Marriage isn't exclusively a state institution. I don't believe there's any law that says you can't call yourself married unless it was a state recognized marriage. Just because the state latched on, doesn't mean it's not a matter of belief for many people.

>I imagine many would see it as an erosion of the concept of marriage, since we're talking about beliefs. Next up, polygamy, incest, etc. At some point the word and the concept is meaningless. Personally, I think we should just get government out of it altogether. Document who you want to be able to visit you if you're in the hospital, who gets the kiddos, etc.

Slippery slope logical fallacy, irrelevant. Marriage the legal construct is basically a restricted version of your stated preference. The touchy Feely stuff about the "erosion" of marriage is the sort of argument used against allowing all adults to vote without restriction. Every time rights are expanded, some of the already privelidged class react against that expansion of rights.

Prayer in a public school also shouldn't be an issue. It shouldn't be happening except on an individual level. Separation of church and state and all that. For those parents who would prefer that there is prayer in school, how would they feel if the school forced their child to participate in a prayer from a different religion? Now, what accommodations should schools offer to students that have different religious beliefs - there is room for debate there.

If the parent wishes for their child to experience prayer in school they can send them to a private religious school. I understand that there have been gray areas on this topic - school is an entity that collides with the rest of the world at times after all, but the majority of cases of prayer in schools are very much a separation of church and state issue.

Funny they subsidized house for poor through the courts good luck

No, marriage is a state institution. If it had been separated and there were no sanctioned benefits from being legally married and it was exclusively a religious union it would be a different discussion.

Probably a light scam if they had paperwork. Either that or they got roped into a scam themselves and are idiots.
