same-sex marriages.
But to me both are wrong and I wished Miss California would have won.
No bashing and insulting, please!

I do not condone GW's DUI's and,
last time I checked, it was legal to be a womanizer.
That is not polygamy
That's bigamy...sort of. Bigamy is the act of entering into a marriage with 1 person while still married to another. Polygamy is most certainly a component of the Mormon faith, even though many of them have discarded it. As for group sex, that has nothing to do with any of the above OR gay marriage. Still 150% irrelevant. Gay marriage is about 2 people who love each other wanting to be married. Period. That's all there is to it. We don't care any more about multiple marriages than we care who you marry. Irrelevant.
Just because you don't condone
his lifestyle doesn't mean that you can't allow your daughter to listen to his music. Just explain to your daughter that you don't approve of his lifestyle choice. His sexual orientation has nothing to do with his musical ability. In fact, there are many gay people in the music industry and that goes way back. This isn't a new phenomenon here. Remember Liberace? I take it you refuse to listen to great artists such as Elton John as well?
I do not approve of the homosexual lifestyle....however, I'm not going to deprive myself of some darn good music just because I don't like what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom.
So you never listened to Queen, Elton John, George Michael, Melissa Ethridge, Boy George? All who have good music...IMO.
You don't read things by Oscar Wilde or Walt Whitman? Come on.
Whether or not you buy this guy's music....he is still going to be gay. Your refusal to buy isn't going to make him go straight. Which boy group has Lance Bass in it? Do you not let her listen to them either because one member is gay?
I think some anti-gay people need to lighten up a bit. It isn't like his music has sublingual messages to try and turn everyone gay.
Polygamy is predominately
one man married to many women. The early Mormons espoused (pardon the pun) it in order to increase their numbers quickly. Muslims practice it (the harem) for tribal and dynastic reasons; everybody is related to everybody (but I believe the primary reason is recreational.) Behind all this I think there is a very strong element of a guy thinking he is just too great to be wasted on one woman. Male ego, in other words.
I think the motivation is entirely different from two people caring deeply and wanting to commit to one another.
I personally feel that polygamy is
just as bad as SSM. I'm against both really. I don't see how you could be for one and oppose the other.
I definitely do not condone group sex, eeewww!...
It is one after the other!
All together, ewwww!
Polygamy isn't just religious beliefs
There are others, such as "swingers" who engage in group sex. Who's not to say that they wouldn't start to fight for the right to marry, even if only for the massive tax break they would get?
People who condone Bin Ladin and Al Zarqawi...sm
on this board. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think so.
Also, Ann is much worse than Moore in my book. Ann's intent is to turn citizens against citizens. Moore wants to turn people on the conservative government. Different thought processes. Like comparing apples to oranges.
The polygamy and animal arguments are irrelevant
Seriously. Being gay is not a religious belief. It's who a person is. Polygamy is a religious practice, or a component of a religious practice. Polygamy is not a "group of people." One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. I won't even go into the animal thing I hear all the time. That's just crazy. People whose minds go straight from gay marriage to animal and multiple marriage are the scary people. Not gays. We just want to be left the heII alone to live our lives as we see fit just like everyone else without religious or any other type of interference that is uninvited. Those beliefs are about you. No one else.
Posters on THIS board condone what Zarqawi and Bin Laden did?
Why? Because they don't all agree with your highness?
Point out one post on this board that condones what they did.
You're pathetic.
