On Gay Marriage

We had a debate today in my history class about the recent decision to legalize same sex marriage in California. It was intense, it got personal too. I’m going to guess every classroom has the hardcore conservative Republican (who acts more like a Nazi, and whose arguments are retarded and hollow) and the hardcore liberal Democrat who sometimes resembles a romantic hippie. Suddenly, someone’s mom was being called a lesbian, and someone’s brain was compared to poop.

The only argument that the anti gay marriage people have is: “It’s not natural.” Well sorry people, but homosexuality may be related to genetics or past experience like abuse.. If genetics are true, then it’s like saying that two people with butt chins (which is actually a genetic mutation) cannot marry.

 I do not understand why people make such a fuss about gay marriage. I mean name something that gay marriage will hurt people, other than their over swelled ego. Does gay marriage hurt California’s in any way shape or form that is nor personal??? Does it add to corruption, raises inflation, hurt the stock market?

Another one, “All men and women are created equal.” That famous statement does not specifically say that men have to like women and that women have to like men to be equal. 

“Oh not gay people can marry now, I think I may die frome hurtego-itis.” Other than personally I don’t see how gay marriage affects people. Oh right, what about religious beliefs? I almost forgot…wait separation of church and state?

I don’t want to dive into religion, but for all you devout church goers (don’t get me wrong I’m a Catholic) here’s a little thought. If you are truly as devout as you say you are, then you believe everything in this Earth was created by or meant to be by God right? Well “everything” includes gays. Furthermore, Jesus taught people to love each other, even if they were an enemy (Samartian story ring a bell?). Yeah, love and respect the rights of the people around you.

Women In Black

On my way home from practice I saw a group of women dressed all in black. They were all sitting in portable chairs facing the street and help a sign. They were protesting the war.I oppose the war.

It’s not about Iraqi freedom that was all bs. It’s about oil. It’s about Bush having an interest in oil (founded the Arbusto Energy company).  A victory in Iraq probably means that the US will have to take control of the nation for a while, just until they get a government set up. If not it’s going to be a puppet government with the US pulling the strings. During that time, America will get hold of oil and money will go directly into the pocket of people like Bush or Ralph D. Smith.

At least the Bush administration is almost over…

There’s a war, yet at home we’re pretty peaceful. The truth is, most people are not really tuned in on what’s going on in Iraq. Look at the Top 1o in CNN are:

1. Ferraro steps down from Clinton campaign

2. Disabled girl’s parents defend growth-stuning treatment

3. ‘Deeply sorry,’ Spitzer to step down by Monday

4. suspect charged in UNC student’s death; second sought

5. All clear given after plane enters restricted area over Washington

6.Student suspended for buying Skittles at school

7. Southwest grounds planes places three on leave

8.Mom throws kids off bridge, then jumps; all survive

9. Commentary: Clinton mixes messages on Obama

10. Obama increases lead in delegate count

I don’t see any news on the war. Obviously, people are more interested in reading about kids getting punished for buying Skittles than the conflict int he Middle East. Gotta keep informed; so we know what’s goign on. Otherwise well be just like sheep, happy with our lot in out little pen, while outside a storm rages on.
