Because someone is ALWAYS profoundly inbred.

I was waiting for someone to pull the "EEeeEEEeeEE OMGDZ IDOTZ" card.

anyway, I am all for legalizing gay marriage. Whatever makes them happy. The point I am trying to make is that by classifying the homosexual community as a "minority" you have to give them rights JUST like every other minority in order to be fair and equal.

Uh, you're suggesting they shouldn't have equal rights?

No, now your misinterpreting. Let me be more clear..


I'm saying in the spirit OF equal rights, if they were considered a minority they would NEED to have the same rights AS ethnic minorities do. People are saying they are not asking for that, which is all fine and dandy but to BE treated EQUAL they NEED the rights given to ethnic minorities.

In essence I am saying they should be treated equal if they are given minority status. I really don't know where you pull things out sometimes, emon.

What the hell dude? Every time I try to reread this post my brain gets sucked further into a vortex of WTF.

Well in the spirit OF equal rights ethnic minorities should not BE treated ANY differently because affirmaTIVE ACtion isn't a form OF equality it's a form OF racism in itself.

Your posts are not very clear.

Then you would probably be pretty pissed too if the homosexual community was declared an official minority, seeing as they would then gain the benefit (weither they asked for it/want it or not) of affirmative action. At least according to what you just said.

I really don't get why you keep trying to raise the argument that we should investigate decades old elections. If I murdered someone, should they investigate every former murder? No, but they should definitely investigate me.

Let's put it in political terms... let's say Blagojevich's term was ending this January. Once he's out of office, should we just drop the investigation into his corruption? No. We definitely should not, because then politicians get the idea that they can get away with fraud or abuses of power.

And you want to know my opinion on the matter? I've given it several times already. I think it's suspicious and needs more attention and investigation. I'm not saying "OMG BUSH/CHENEY ARE CRIMINALS AND THEY STOLE THE ELECTION AND THEY SHOULD BE IMPEACHED." I'm saying, "This sounds pretty shady. What's the truth?"

I'm not aware of any policy that instantly grants special rights to all known "minority" groups.

No, I'm just saying there won't be anything to deter people from trying to scam an election. Just because I was busted for possession, did that stop you from smoking? Just because Bush/Cheney would get caught with an election scam, would people stop trying to scam elections?

I'm not saying it's not worth investigating, I would love to see how it turns out. But at this point in time, I'd much rather see the resources being devoted somewhere else, somewhere more useful. In this case nobody in the country is at harm (unlike letting a murder run loose for example), no lives would be lost as a result of this incident, so I think federal money for prosecution should be diverted elsewhere

Except in this case, Connell had received death threats, was specifically warned not to fly, and was killed in a plane crash. So not investigating could possibly be letting a murderer run loose.

But that of course depends on what the FAA decides was the cause of the crash.

US law 38573.489538573.283745.i (i stands for imaginary)

wherein

black people are too dumb and ugly to get jobs without government intervention

actually, as much as i really, REALLY doubt there is any shenanigans here, i would not be opposed to an investigation. in fact i think it would do good for most politicians to be investigated, at least a few times.

...now what i find to be shady is how Cheney shot a dude in the face and got him to apologize for getting in the way of his shot gun..



also i fully endorse this statement^

Hahah, well what I meant was, if a new minority is declared, it's not like *POOF* they have all sorts of special treatment.

It might be accurate to say that if gays are granted "minority" status certain people may push for special rights, but instantly becoming a minority does not make it so.

I've been saying that for years
