The thing for me is that the label "progressive" seems almost exclusively a term used by the US right at the moment as a way to somehow denigrate opponents....

Hmmm__ There was a time 15 years ago in which people proudly wore the progressive label while peddling their own line of corruption.

I ...

I'm not doing anything except sharing the truth.

The part about me pointing out that the opposite is more true (if anything he was liberal) only reiterates how big the lie is (that he was a Tea Party member, or motivated by the TP).

The truth is that Conservatives were not out blaring in the ...

Can you show examples of Tea Party members being outraged that the Navy named a ship after Giffords?

Can you show examples of Jared Lee Loughner citing a Sarah Palin flier, or any other Tea Party material, as a source to justify the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords?

Jared Loughner had no ...

I don't know anyone at Rutgers University, so I can't really comment on the political affiliations of students there.

Then it begs the question: If you put Marriage into the church "bucket" rather than state, what do all the people who love the tradition of marriage (as defined by modern society, not it's history) but aren't religious do?

There will certainly be institutions that pop up that provide non ...

Along the same vein, I give it to Piers Morgan.

Zero.

I couldn't consciously, willingly kill another thing, even if I was saving another life in the process. I would be disturbing the natural order of things. I'm not saying the man had it coming to him, but I would want the same result to be as if I wasn't there. It would be easier for me to ...

Firstly, being gay isn't a lifestyle choice, it's genetic. I hope this is a misstatement, and not some indicator of hidden homophobia. I'm shocked no one else has pointed this out.


Ummmm because thats not true?

Fine. Let me put it this way: Being gay (as well as bi and trans) isn't a lifestyle ...

Let's go back to the original post, since this is clearly out of hand now.

the thing about gay marriage is i do not mind if people do different things to me. it does not affect me if they want to do bum - like, why should i care if they make a different lifestyle choice to me? i could never oppose ...

You mean that big dog is eating enough for two? Aren't you worried about it getting fat?

Truly, if people want "marriage" to be pulled out of this argument, the way to do it is to get the government out of marriage. Make it a ceremonial thing only with no governmental requirements or expectations or benefits, and any argument I've got goes away completely.

This is something I could ...

The obvious solution is to electrify the fence.

Right? Right?

I like to make fun of New Jersey as much as the next New Yorker

I like how someone from the burbs of New York is shitting on other burbs of New York.

You ever live in the city yourself?

Nah bro, too poor.

EDIT 1: I am very proud of where I live. I love the Valley more than I love the City ...

This is bullshit New Jersey. You have forsaken your heritage.

I like to make fun of New Jersey as much as the next New Yorker, but let me say this. Most of the cast of Jersey ...

I'm a child of the "everyone gets trophies" era. Taking a quick look at the trophies I kept, there's two from a sports camp for I don't know what, there's one for the year the CYO team won one game, the one for the year the flag football team won one game, one for the year the soccer team was ...

Best fans in the world lmfao united along with barce and real are the true global teams.

That is what is wrong. Someone who supports the likes of Man Utd and Barca rather than their local team of, say, Torquay Utd, Ventforet Kofu or FC Levadia is not a true, or best, fan. You can be as global as ...
