Ok folks let's keep it civil. I don't want any EoEO leakage into my precious General Chat if it's all the same to you! Next person to be insulting gets their skull metaphorically cracked.

There's a difference between 'insults' and 'heated discussion', Paul. <3
There sure is, Justin! And which category does "idiot" fall under? :p (I didn't see a problem with your post, fyi)
Ooh~ I see an undirected insult there.
Metaphorical skull-cracking time? :D
No you gosh darned don't. I was giving an example of a word in this thread that I deem inappropriate and wouldn't like to see used in such a way again.
Now can we get back to talking about gay marriage and how America feels the desperate need to call itself CONSERVATIVE or LIBERAL and then take great big dumps on the other side 'cause they've got to be intellectually inferior and oh no we can't be having that?
Okay? OKAY!
Yeah well I am a Christian too. Before you question if I just go on Christmas and Easter, let me reassure you, I attend religious services three times a week.
And I am a liberal. I think that conservatism is [usually] garbage.
However, I think my religious views should affect ME, while my political views should affect OTHERS.
You know whom I see hating Christians most? Other Christians. They disregard that entire "love thy neighbor" passage.
Can't get much more hating than this either:

By the way, I don't think Jesus would do this when he was on Earth.
No, outside of a few people, most are simply pointing out flaws in your arguments.
And MOST, yes I said most, too, say it only in respons to behavior archetypal of a zealot.
Please get off the cross. We need the firewood. You pose a point of view. There are those of us who will disagree.
That's nice. I feel you're wrong. I also feel that condemning a person purely on what side of the political spectrum they stand on is juvenile at best.
And conservative supporters have never bashed anyone...?
No, it's more closely akin to Socialism, which is, in all reality, quite far removed from Communism. One advocates making the wellbeing of it's citizens paramount. The other seeks to make it so no person can exceed another.
Don't like abortions? Don't get one. Don't like gay marriage? Don't get one. Guess what? It's not right to push your dogma onto the rest of the populace in the form of law.
Of course not. You're just not allowed to force others to conform to them.
It shouldn't...but that door swings both ways.
Huh. We have free healthcare up here in Canada. i have chosen every doctor I've seen so far.
Not having to mortgage a house to pay for cancer treatments...however could I have thought that was good?
Like the "Holy" 42 hour union between Britney Spears and whatsisface? And the "Holy" unions resulting from Joe Millionaire and the Bachelor? The "Holy" unions between the gold-digging vultures, who are just waiting for their "husband" to croak to get a big fat paycheck? And the "Holy" unions those mail order brides enter into? Is this the institution we are going to be so grievously besmirching?
How is that hate? They're saying their God hates fags, not them. Also, everything on those signs are a matter of personal feeling, or fact. I don't see the problem if gay people can wave their rainbow flags and their "i love buttsex" signs around with these people flaunting their opinions and beliefs as well.
Yes, but the difference is, the flag-waving gay people aren't doing it to attack any other group. Those signs are clearly attacking homosexuals because of the derogatory way they are protesting (calling them 'fags' and such). In my eyes, it is no different than calling a black person the 'n' word.
