It' so strange that you consider this anyone's problem but your own. Seriously, spend a couple minutes thinking about this.

Hoo boy. I spent some time over on PPP today. I saw some strange things. Ever see that movie The Descent? It was kind of like that.

That's great.

I see you're enjoying yourself. That's very nice for you.

Just struck me as an odd tangent to the main issue and it was delivered with such rage. I mean, I get your point about frivolous lawsuits--99.9% of Americans are annoyed by this, across racial, economic and sexual preference categories--but that has no bearing that I can see on the issue of whether or not gay people can get married. I have some gay friends--I can ask them, but I'm pretty sure they're not interested in starting a legal war with boyscouts.

Wow, that was odd, even for this forum.

I think I do understand why they feel the way they do. I think it's based on fear, resistance to change and adherence to tradition and a way of life they're used to. I know that these are powerful motivations. Nonetheless, the change is happening.

There are plenty of opinions different from my own that I can respect. This does not happen to be one of those. I'm waiting for a defense of the position that holds water. Your appeal to tradition does not cut it. You even go so far as to equate it to slavery, which I think is valid. You seem to be making my point for me--it needs to change. The fact that it takes time is of no consequence to the central point: This instance of inequality needs to be remedied.

No, that's not it. The "other's POV" is a mess. They insist their position is not bigoted, but they so far have not put forth an argument for their position that is not reducible to bigotry.

I look ahead 15 years and I see this as a done deal. What we're witnessing now is basically the last desperate stand of the old & out of touch. Relatively soon, SSM will be commonplace. That's just where our culture is going. I'm personally very glad to see it. It's progress. Homosexuality has always existed and it's always been repressed and persecuted. Not every tradition is worth upholding.

Hey Pete, have a kickass Birthday!

He is a dandy boy

And it's anatomically correct too.

Yes, very much. We happen to be in a situation (like many others) where we owe more than our home is worth even though we have paid on time every month for 10 years. No breaks for us.

Mine's a knock-knock joke. I ask the other person to start it. They go, "knock knock." And I just straight up kick 'em in the nuts as hard as I can and walk away.

I've found that you can tweak this dedication/alcohol ratio. For me it started out at like 1 to 1. Now it's pretty much all alcohol with dedication as an occasional chaser.

I think my little girl has the same onesie. I also need to get her something new for the upcoming season.

She is cute. Yes By the way, how !@#$ing cool is Fred Jackson? (no need to actually answer that question because we all know the answer is Totally Badass Mother !@#$ing Cool!)

Unless she has a garbage disposal where her hoo-hah should be... YES. (if she does, then I change my answer to Maybe)

Wow. RIP.

Ah, the "Eddie Murphy."

Happy Birthday to the man with three W's in his last name!

And this year's two SB quarterbacks are built like McCauley Caulkin.

Pant, pant, drool, hummina hummina [eyes bug out, tongue rolls out three feet long], ah-ooooga!

That's funny, my lady came home with a bottle of wine too!
