Hate to say it Road King, but if I am to pay for the health care of these smokers, drinkers, gluttons, etc. I'm all in favor of the nanny state from now on. I'd prefer to have neither a welfare state or a nanny state, but if we have a welfare state, we're going to need a nanny state to go with it. Why fight it?
I don't smoke, drink, vape, drug, gorge, etc. So what do I care? However, I do care if my wallet is tapped to pay for the lung transplant, liver transplant, lap-band, etc of those who do.
As much as I hate Bloomberg's nanny state policies, your point here is valid and to be honest with you, I may side with these policies myself as I pay more for less healthcare coverage.
No he doesn't. Otherwise he wouldn't have a problem with people being free to be with one another even if they are the same sex. Harrier doesn't support homosexuals being free to marry one another either. Harrier supports a limited freedom. He only supports your freedom if he thinks it's something you ought to be free to do. It's ok Harrier, you can admit it and I won't hold it against you because that is who you are and that is what you believe. Just don't say that you support total freedom, because you don't.

I agree with this. Government should either make all marriage legal, including gay marriage, or they should quit endorsing any kind of marriage at all. If two people want legal recognition of their union, they must fill out papers and declare themselves to be in a civil union. That will likely never happen though.

Government should not tell me who and how many I can marry. Marriage should be a religious event.
The reason I oppose gay marriage is that it expands and reinforces government control over our lives.
NYC. Most fascist city in the nation? It really is a shame what is happening there. I'm not sure how the people who live there can stand it.
the last hurricane did not hit with much force on NYC. too bad a cat 5 did not hit it in full force. maybe it would clean put some of the corruption in power there.
People that live in NYC dont live in reality , just watch all of them walk down the street. Throw them in a forest and see if they can survive for 2 weeks lol ..

What does that have to do with anything? Does that mean if we throw you in the middle of NYC that you couldn't survive for 2 weeks?
