Ah yes, there's also still quite a buzz around the area with the recent gay marriages.

When the first marriages arrived, just could grab a lawn chair, put it by City Hall, and watch the show, which included religious people fruitlessly whining.

game, set, and match

No surprise private insurers, or, better yet, dumbasses with hypocritical moral values, would want to prevent a woman from performing an abortion. And to the poster who talks about private health insurance, this is the exact reason why there's no compromise with conservatives on the issue. Far, far too ideological, and it isn't even regarding them. Keep your own beliefs to yourself and quit trying to enforce them on others. Doctors are already allowed to be bigoted if they choose. Thankfully there's enough Planned Parenthood's out there to assist women in making a better choice, which might include adoption, or even performing an abortion to put themselves in a better position to parent later and ultimately (hopefully) learn from their mistake.

hopefully that in bold will apply to those who don't believe in a higher power.

I don't see them forcing abortions upon people who don't want one. Or telling religious people to accept gay marriage.

So you'll have to show me where that would apply to the non-religious.

i've seen that in vj.

now do you understand what i was talking about?

well you could come here to go gambling (plenty o'casinos), go eat, get bent and have sex or if you're single, complain about not having sex with someone else who isn't getting any either.

Not really. It was religious people protesting legal gay marriages. In fact, it only re-enforces the credibility of religious people pushing their beliefs too far down others throat. Me just innocently watching and having a good time without bothering anyone has nothing to do with telling others what they need to accept. Bringing this around full circle, their accepting is not a requirement.

in essence, they are being told to accept it. so what's being force fed to who here?

Accept what? A marriage that doesn't infringe on theirs? Unless, of course, they're jealous somehow in some Freudian way.

Hence the key word- tolerate would be better used.

Too much BS here. Legal implies it was acted upon with the interests of citizens. All citizens. Anything else would be discriminatory.

again, who is being force fed here? who is being forced to adapt to who?

And again, nobody is forcing marriage unto unwilling parties.

[Ban Hammer 13,964]

And again, nobody is forcing marriage unto unwilling parties.

i didn't say that was the case.

[HAL 9000 96]

And again, nobody is forcing marriage unto unwilling parties.

i didn't say that was the case.

No you didn't. Then what did you say? What are you arguing in favor of (better question)?

In this particular tangent its:

gays that want to marry themselves

vs

people that have a problem with people that do not affect their lives getting married

I mean... #######!

you'll figure it out soon enough. it basically boils down to no matter what your religious beliefs are, they don't matter.

anyways, i have to go check out of the room and will be back sun. have fun.

We're going to hike Starved Rock SP for the last weekend of summer.

Autumn starts Monday folks...

Are you staying at the lodge?

I live 20 mins from downtown chicago...what isnt there to do...navy pier, the museums, shedd aquarium, SHOPPING, restaurants, magnificent mile, yea, im lucky

American Girl Place opens at Water Tower Place October 1.

I'm going out to Gaelic Imports on West Lawrence. Nicky saw Irn Bru is being sold there. Must bring granny cart as I'm sure there will be several cases being purchased.

I think we will try to take the ferry to one of the islands around Seattle to enjoy what's left of the sunshine.

Yes, Seattle is great! When flights were $99.00 RT out of Chicago, and the Double Tree Suites were $25.00 per night, I would go often. That was in 2000 & 2001. I will have to make a point to to there again for a weekend.

[zhenia and brent 0]

We watch paint dry and if we get tired of that, we stay home and re-arrange our sock drawer.

This is an overdone past-time for me. But, I am doing it again this weekend. I think I will change it up by re-arranging the sock drawer first, then watching the paint dry. It will be great fun!
