[quote]Okay, how about legal drinking age? Do adults the age of 21 have more of a right to drink alcohol than those of age 20? I don't think so, but the American government does. That is the morality of the people at work. Although the same sex marriage issue is more important and gray than drinking age, I think the same rules apply.[/quote] Errr...that is not limiting someone's personal rights. Because they are allowed to drink alcohol, they just have to reach the age of 21. Same goes for the legal age of getting married. What we are talking about here is having personal rights at all. Hetrosexuals can get married under the law. Homosexuals for the most part cannot (it is currently a contested matter). [quote]But that same idea goes both ways. Something my Pastor was talking about last Sunday was standing up for what you believe in. And I agree that if you don't take a stand on some issues, then you will start falling for anything. If America doesn't define what it thinks is moral or immoral, then do we have a backbone at all? It is up to the people to decide. Even if we are a representative democracy, it is still the will of the people that decide what happens. [b]If you get enough to agree with you then I have no objections, because that is now the morality of America. But we as a people shouldn't allow something to happen inside our borders that is against our moral code.[/b][/quote] Right, the slaughter of Native Americans and grabbing their land for your use is perfectly ok. Hell, just add in some genocide while you are at it. Sounds fun to me! :rolleyes: Oh, and while you are at it, keep African Americans in slavery, too. And women don't need to be able to vote (and neither do African Americans and almost extinct Native Americans). I'm sure we can add some more to that list. Gid, do you actually think before posting?
