Quote by: xyzer There are a handful of homosexuals, in a nation of some 300 million, who want to overturn tradition in this country why is this issue of same sex marriage important? Change the law because a small group want to impose its variant of behavior on the rest of society.

I imagine if you were in that minority, you would change your tone on this, but since you're in the "Normal" category, it doesn't affect you, so why should you care..... Canada passed the same laws and allowed same sex marragies just a few years ago..... the world hasn't ended yet..... churches each have their own choice whether they will marry homosexuals or not... they are not forced to marry same sex couples.... it's just now permitted and legal.... the only problem now for homosexuals is to find a church who will marry them.... and there are some out there, but I don't think this giant "Overturning of Tradition" will impose any variant behavior on society as you mentioned..... This won't make more people gay anymore then gay people turning people gay in the past (which they don't)

What possible reality is there in a small segment of the 'Black" population in this country wanting compensation for the enslavement of their anscestors? Hey big brother take care of me I dont want to work!

That I can agree with you on.... the suffering was of their ancestors, not them.... the only reason why their lives suck now is either by their own faults, or possibly the system in place.... I don't know, because there isn't a detailed situation here provided as an example.

This and the whole format of these so called debates is the usual entertaiment driven laugh show that we get every night on the tube, or possibly the campaign ads that already lace that powerful campaign adjunct!

Agreed.... it was basically ment to make the government appear as though this time they are listening to the people... to bring in more interest to the younger voters, but it was such a transparent attempt. They made it out to be something big, but I knew they would have had it pre-planned for the most part and not leave the debaters looking stumbled or caught off gaurd by a question.....

Heck they were being pretty anal about how they were all standing, who was fidgiting, etc.... I guess to show the traits of a solid leader or what not (Just makes them seem like the better public speaker that's all) they sure as heck wouldn't want them all screwed up by really hard questions..... everything I seen was obvious questions most were already asking to be answered.

These are not true debates. They are a freak show designed to grab the attention of the uninformed. Designed to entertain an audience of gullible uninformed peopl, most of whom don''t vote anyway!

True.... if they don't vote, usually that means that they considder their vote won't make a difference anyways. If they feel both sides of the vote will screw them over in the end, then why vote and put your name down as voting for that person and being partly responsible for them getting into power? (Most would throw it back into their faces if they complained anyways, saying things like "Well you voted them in") To me... it's a protest..... not a very good method of a protest, but it's just as effective as voting for the lesser of two evils and getting screwed anyways.

How does one define the "best" answers to such socialistic trivia and self aggrandizing nonsense?

The answer which the majority agreed with.
