Prop 8: The sequel

Continue the discussion from where it was left off when the old thread got derailed.

Talk about Prop 8 or this'll just straight up be deleted.

Yeah, what he said.

no on prop 8

This vote will only affect Californians, yet Coral's up in arms about it like this actually concerns him. There's a world of difference there if you look closely enough.:rolleyes:

Maybe you've never been a part of a minority before. If I were gay I would most certainly be concerned about Prop 8 because of future implications it could have in other parts of North American or even the world. Things like this tend to start small and have a way of spreading over time. Do you honestly think that if there were a group of blacks slaves in Canada that blacks in Oakland California shouldn't or wouldn't be concerned?

Excellent point Epic, Apartheid bothered me as a kid and that was on a whole other continent. Prop 8 would most likely set a precedent that would frame similar measures across the country. That is often what happens in the US. There were a wave of measures introduced in each individual state after the first referendum defining marriage as "a union between a man and a woman" passed.

Again, there's a difference between being concerned about something and acting as though something DIRECTLY affects you. I don't have to be black or a women or homosexual to understand that, and quite frankly, I don't appreciate the sentiment that I'm incapable of understanding because I'm not a minority.

However, some rules apply (breaking these rules might result in post alteration/removal) :
Direct (and some indirect) insults will not be tolerated. Attack the argument, not the person. Don't create threads about members. You'll only get beat down and recommended for a ban.
No offensive language or media are allowed.
Respect eachother. If you don't agree with somebody, don't take it so personally (especially since personal attacks and insults won't be tolerated).

[Smokey]

Either someone had his post altered, or someone just got really random.:brow:

[Tanooki]

If an admin or anyone hit that outside of going into the server (or a hacked login) that's legit. The software here even stamps a name/time if an admin jerks around with a post.

[Smokey]

Hold up, I just caught this. Did Coral actually make a thread about me?

[Hottotty]

Funny. With all the rules in place there's not really that much left to say. :P
