Prop 8 overturned

[Star_Cards]

ust because you say something is a step in the right direction also does not mean it's right, correct? One might ask who made you the king of right and wrong? And considering that this is suppose to be a country that believes in GOD, JESUS CHRIST, and the BIBLE, what are their stance on this issue? Considering that almost everything about our country is based off them and the things they preached. I don't believe one word from any of those but the majority of this country does and that's why we have to accept it for now and try to change peoples minds instead of canceling out their opinions because others don't agree.

This country is most certainly not a country that is supposed to believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the bible. It is true that a majority of people in the U.S. do, we have the right to believe whatever we want her and just because the majority believes in christianity doesn't mean those beliefs should govern our country.

As for your having the same benefts as others why don't single people get to have the same benefits as married people? That's unfair also wouldn't ya say? Why is it ok to make single people pay more in taxes then married people? That is truely unfair by the very definition of unfair. Two sources of income is greater then one source of income so you could say married folks should have to pay atleast the same percent as single folks regardless if one or both work.

I do think that married people shouldn't get any extra tax breaks over single people.

And I want you both to explain to me why the 7 million voices that voted for the bill have their opinions not count? How is that fair. Sorry but you don't count bye bye. That is another form of discrimination. But the 6.4 millions voices have their opinion count. Again that is not democracy. The more we go down this path the more we are turning into dictatorship politics and we the people don't get a say in what happens.

As for counting opinions, there are some issues, especially rights of others, where opinions can;t be counted up to decide. If that was the case we would be living in a much different country as far as race goes. Not everything can or should be decided by a majority vote.

i understand the argument that just because something is voted on by the majority doesn't mean it should be law. My issue is that we need a system where things go through the supreme court before they can be voted on by the public.
It does nothing to promote faith in the government if 15 million people vote on an issue only to have a panel of 5-10 people overturn what they voted for. What was the point? Every election we encourage people to vote and we tell them it is their greatest right and greatest responsibility. Then we tell them that their votes don't actually count as much as 1 judge who was appointed by a buddy to the right court.
