What do you think will happen? Everyone will be gay and the human race will die? Are you serious?
You don't believe the ample availability of fast food plays any role in the current obesity rate in the U.S.? Really?

I have no trouble judging people who can't tell the difference between violent coercion and mutual love.

Which you apparently can't.

I'm just pointing out that when you take away the notion of morality, everything and anything goes.

It does but it's not the only cause. The fact that people can't educate themselves enough isn't the fast food's fault.

How does this relate to SSM??? You didn't answer? Will everyone run to be gay?

Yawn, yet another morality argument. Again, just as you don't want to hear that homosexuality is wrong, because it's two men or two women of the same gender, don't tell another person what should be deemed as right vs wrong.

YOUR NOTION OF MORALITY, people have different notions. It's not against my morality, but it's nice that it's against yours. Keep it to youself.

There are many educated people who eat ample amounts of fast food.

I am pointing out that any and every policy created, especially at the federal level has an impact. That impact is usually seen within a 20-30 year time period, as the next generation grows up under the new code of laws and lives with the changes...

OK, so just answer then, what in your eyes will be the impact of SSM in 20-30 years?

I am talking about the long term impact, not your immediate gain of recognition or getting benefits in the next year or two? Are you able to think beyond 5, 10 or even 15 years and look at the wider implications?

Now I fully understand why most people do not have a dime saved towards retirement. Most can't focus on anything beyond the short-term.
