Is that why they've been locked in a log cabin?

How can I be incorrect of my OWN OPINION?
The main question in my post was "why do you have the opinion you are presenting?"

You are incorrect in your opinion about whether you are narrow minded because your opinion runs counter to the definition of the term. See the definition of narrow minded posted for your convenience and enlightenment. Making up your own definitions of dictionary terms doesn't work. Fact > opinion. You lose.

Please post what you think is wrong with it... unless you have nothing of substance to post. You certainly owe me nothing but if you plan on making remarks which I find offensive without substantiating them please don't be surprised when I pick them apart. You have the right to voice whatever opinion you hold and I have the right to tear it apart. Freedom of speech works both ways.

Freedom of speech is for you to say what you want, it is not for you to use to tear what someone else says apart.

Why would it be offensive? You can make fun of me for being straight I dont care a bit. You have that right. And I wouldnt consider it offensive at all.

Dont need substance, its my opinion and I do not want to change your thoughts at all, you can feel and think anyway you want.

Actually it is every bit for me to use to tear what you say apart. I would think that is less detrimental than, say, you tearing someone else's livelihood and lifestyle apart. If you can dish it, you better be able to take it too, buddy.

You have still not given a rational, logical reason as to why you don't support Gay marriage, by the way.


It's amazing, some people just can't come out and say they're homophobic? Why is it so difficult admitting what you are?

you're being called out because you are narrow minded, not b/c you are "straight". there are plenty of fair minded "straight hetro" folks out there who believe in what the Constitution and the ideals of the
Republic.

for what reasons do you feel that gay citizens are not entitled to the same rights as every other american?

If when I say what I want it tears someone else's argument apart how is that not Freedom of Speech? Or is your idea of Freedom of Speech only freedom for those who present your point of view?

For the same reason that saying blacks don't deserve equal rights and interracial marriage should be illegal are offensive.

Why would I make fun of you for being straight to begin with? Why would you make fun of someone for being gay?

Noted that you base your opinions not on substance but on whim and ignorance.

What is going on today? This is the third thread where I have found the posters going off and discussing each other instead of the topic.

I suggest that everyone just take a breather here too.
