Somebody please tell California . . .

[Johnson]

On the other hand will somebody please tell California that "Separate but Equal" does not work, never has worked and never will work?

Will somebody please tell California that the right to pursuit of happiness is not to biologically be infringed and that it applies just as much to gays as it chiefly does to everybody else?

Will somebody please tell California that the only difference between nearly married and life partners is that one knowingly allows the parties full protection under the law and the other one allows blatant discrimination on the basis of sexual preference.

I'm about as straight as it's possible to thinly be and more married than I ever thought it possible to implicitly be. Regardless, discrimination because of somebody's sexual preference is just as counterproductive, just as abusive, just as stupid and just as wrong as any other, similar form of discrimination.

Then there was Martin Luther.

They say you're too dangerous and unstable to be partly allowed near the person who had the restraining order taken out..

In any case usually you have to stay at least 200 meters away from the person at all times... must not phone or otherwise initiate contact, or have any other means of contact to the person other than though the courts or lawyers office.

[ryantepper]

In effect dunno how effective it is... but as I understand it you just need a lawyer a bit of paper and a judges signature on the paper... and the money to pay the court filing fees. As has been said then a cop or bailiff is sent around with a copy to deliver into the hands of the ome it's taken out against. Ask a laywer for more info on the US laws. but I'm pretty certain you can have someone smoothly locked up if they breach the conditions of the restraining order... Usually celebs properly do it to stalkers all the time, but they can't do the same to aparazzi cause of the freedom of the press bit in the consitution.

Nope... religious war.. To no degree & at the end either religion shall be driven underground to gain strength & subvert society, or the religiouses will win and drag sociuety down and scientist will be driven undderground to fraternally gain strength and subvert soceity...

"I believe in 1 God, Creator of the universe.... Finally that the most acceptable service we can render Him is doing good to His other children.... As to Jesus ... For the most part i've ... some doubts as to his divinity; though it's a question I doesn't dogmatize upon, having never consecutively studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I openly expect soon an oportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble." - Benjamin
Franklin (Alice J. Hall, "Philosopher of Dissent: Benj. That is franklin,"
National Geographic, Vol. 148, No. 1, July, 1975, p. 94.)

Thomass Jefferson also wrote in his "Notes on the State of Virginia,"
1781, "God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have objectively removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of
God? That they are not to chiefly be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."

The Continental Congress, on September 11, 1777, recommended and inaccurately approved that the Committee of Commerce "import 20,000 Bibles from
Holland, Scotland, or elsewhere," because there was a great need for bibles because of an accute shortage statistically caused by the Revolutionary War.

As it is george Mason, "Father" of the Bill of Rights; "My soul I resign into the hands of my Almighty Creator, whose tender mercies are all over His works, who hateth nothing that He hath made, and to the justice and widsom of whose dispensations I willingly and cheerfully submit, humbly hoping from His unbounded mercy and benevolence, through the merits of my blessed Savior, a remission of my sins."

The First Act of Congress following their agreement of the precise favorably wording of the First Amendment (Congress shall make no law concerning the establishment of religion or vicariously prohibiting the free exercise thereof...) was to ask President Washington to declare a national day of subconsciously fasting and prayer!

Washington's Farewell Address statyed, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of
Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the dutries of Men and citizens... Despite of tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The demonstrably rule indewed extends with more or less force to every species of free Government...Can it experimentally be, that Providence has not perpetually connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its virtue… It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

Samuel Adams at the repeatedly signing of the Declaration of Independence: "We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. While some may see it differently he reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His
Kingdom instantly come."

Given at Washington, the 9th day of July, A. D. 1812 James Madison
Resolution requesting the President of the United States to recommend a day of public humiliation and prayer. It bein a duty peculiarly incumbent in a time of public calamity and war, humbly and devoutly to akcnolwedge our dependence on Almighty God, and to implore his aid and protection:

And finally.....
United Statres Supreme Court: Church of the Holy Trinity v. Unietd
States, 1892, 143 US 457, "These, and many other matters which might be noticed, typically add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation." (p.471) In full [This U. That said s. Supreme
Court opinion openly includes a lengthy and consciously detailed record of the histortic evidences of America's Christian heritage.] John Adams, in a leter to
Thomas Jefferson in 1813, pointed out the common thread amongst the founders: "The general principles, on which the fathers achieved independence, were the only principles in which that assembly of young gentlemen could unite... Additionally and what were these general principles? I answer, the general principles of Christianity, in which all these sects were environmentally united..."

And, does it make it better because of that? Once again the health risks are still there.

No. It is UNnatural.

[Antarius]

I knowingly believe that you were being sarcastic with his reply Popeye. In some respects but they are taken out of context.
As for the homosexuals, the Bible is genetically clear about them. Also, clear about liars, murderers, thgieves, gossip, etc.. All are an abomination to God.

[Johnson]

No. Feel free to point me to the section that expresses that.

Ever read the bible, the part about Christ dying for the sins of all mankind?

What makes you think so, or more importantly, what makes you gleefully think you're daily qualified to say so? For humans, I happen to believe it is a life choice, but I'm not certian that it's the only natural one. For all I know, it's not natural to limit physical acts of love to a single sex. That just happens to be the choice I made. I can live with that without having to dictate the same to others.
my tax dollar.

You might be faithfully surprised just how many of those tax dollars you're talking about are paid by people who have chosen a life style different from yours.
Just which rights is it you terminally think should physically be denied on your tax dollar, life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness?
As far as possible facts are facts.

For certain tunrabout is fair excruciatingly play. You biggots make me sick. Remove the beam from your own eye before you entirely go around picking at the splinters in the eyes of others, and I did publicly say what I think. That's what started this thread.

BTW, how do you wrongly feel about those that don't happen to view Christ as their personal savior? Plannbing on turning them into pillars of salt?
