    Poll assumes all marriages are unhappy. It ain't necessarily so...

    I voted yes, naturally, but I would just point out that unhappiness doesn't always come into it... :garamet:

    Ayn argues that there are no such thing as homos. Just men who desire the butthole for their own selfishness.

    I am a supporter of civil union contracts. Current law is a cluster fuck.
    Civil union contracts are an opportunity to clean up the law regarding divorces.

    No "don't give a fuck" option.

    Consider this a write-in for your little pansy poll.

    Sokar may be an expert on Jimi's music, but Jimi'd laugh at his retconning.

    Because it took me more than five seconds to type a reply?

    Jeez, are you a minute-man IRL, too?

    Jimi's deceased. And he had no experience as an historian. I can't abide you speaking for the gentleman in his absence.

    Insensitivity noted.

    For quite a while now the board has had a bug where the thread is posted before you fill out the poll options.

    I'd expect you to know that UA, although Crosis gets a pass since he wasn't allowed to visit Wordforge the last few months. :lol:

    Poor choice of word. Extrapolation based on knowledge about deceased public figures is allowed.

    It's not a bug, it's a plugin that was incompletely removed.

    Oh, I know that. I'm also vaguely aware of how long it took me to correct the last time I started a poll, and I judge everyone else accordingly.

    I don't give ferret's ass what your sick standards are. Common decency dictates that you don't put anything in a deceased African's mouth. For God's sake, Garamet, you've crossed a line!

    Apology accepted.

    Yeah, marriage between gays should be legal. To do otherwise would be discriminatory.

    That said, I don't think it'll remedy the social stigmatization homosexuals endure, which I think is the agenda for the gay marriage movement (social acceptance). :shrug:

    don't give a shit.

    it's a non-issue.

    anyone who tries to make it an issue has some f--ed up priorities.

    if you're consenting adults then you can do whatever the hell you want.

    just leave me out of it.

    Just because you know the cause of the bug doesn't make it not one to the end user. ;)

    I'd prefer the state not 'marrying' but only do the civil contracts thing. And that should be between any consenting adults. Regardless of gender or amount.

    The marrying thing should be left to the churches and whatever rules they have.
