| Gonna try to take these one at a time here, quoting is getting ugly up ins! First, the reason people "run home" is very likely because not many people like to make a point alone and have however many people tell them they are wrong, with no like-minded individuals to feel camaraderie with.... |

I feel very sorry for your limited mind and whatever poor children may be exposed to it. I tried my best to make the communication happen.
At any rate, I hope I've fully explained myself to everyone else, the "nuh-uh!" notwithstanding. |

| If you seriously felt personally attacked because you were called a sheeple, you clearly need to step away from the computer. Or find another site to hang at. Do you know what a sheeple even is? It's someone who can't think for himself. You've been arguing for the ban on SSMs because you believe th... |

A what?!
If all you can do is resort to personal attacks rather than contribute to a debate, isn't the standard rule to stay out of it? I've had the courtesy of being respectful as is reasonable here, I don't think it's too much to ask the same. |

Okay. So we don't actually get a voice per se, but a representation of a voice? How is that superior to literally counting how many people want what? It seems silly to dillute the will of the people like that.
You sound like you're encouraging semi-democratic dictatorship... |

| If it was voted in, yes. Basically I believe in democracy (barely), and if the people are allowed to hand the reins of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth to a man with no experience but talks pretty, they should be allowed to determine issues of law as well. So what you are saying is... |

| I actually don't buy any of that. "Americans" don't love being green. Liberal Americans do. And this president has promised change of exactly this sort. Decreasing dependency on foreign oil was actually #1 on both leading candidates list for a very long time. It's a high priority for many ... |

Eisensapper Eisensapper: I shall say it again, some things should not be put to a vote. If you dont like the decisions made by a representative dont vote him in next term, that is democracy.
How then do we determine what gets put to a vote, vs. what you get to tell us is "just right?" |

| Again it confuses me you dont want religion to influence your life, but have no problem religious laws governing your life. Some things should not be a law, if a voted for and passed saying that a woman who drove is to be stoned to death would you support this? If it was voted in, yes. Basically I ... |

| We all know why it happened, we were just debating on how wrong it was for this being allowed to go for a vote. I just have trouble seeing why you think its ok that this was put to a vote. It's okay because that's the way laws are generally made. Either we the people vote on an issue, or we elect p... |

It sounds like they did/are doing to your government is what they are doing to our commerce. I've been in Shanghai personally while Chinese engineers tried to take apar... |

| You are defending the decision of homosexuals not being allowed to marry. No, I am explaining it. I never defended it or said they were right, only that the democratic system in place is working as intended by allowing the majority to inflict their decisions upon the minority. Much as liberals have... |
