Mass could have legal gay marriage by May

I say GOOD! It's about time we give these people the same rights as the rest of us. After all, they are the highest income-earning demographic, the highest tax-paying demographic, and lowest burden on the tax system. I know, I know...it's all a big left-wing conspiracy to break up your family and turn your children into homosexual sex slaves...blah blah blah. And it will destroy the sanctity of your marriage...blah blah blah.

The gays? How do you know? How can anyone know that gay people pay more taxes and earn more money than anyone else?

There has been a wealth of market research on the issue. Do you think for one second that large corporations with mulit-million dollar marketing budgets cannot come up with this info? I worked as a consultant for a market research group and this was a commonly known fact.

Yes, bfp, "the gays." Now, don't get them confused with "the blacks" or "the Orientals."

What a joke. How does sex even enter the picture? Was everyone given a questionaire? Whatever.

You should not speak when you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. What do you think marketing researchers do all day? How do you think companies like Miller Beer which have MASSIVE marketing campaigns in the gay community find out how to target them? You're obviously oblivious to anything going on outside your little bubble, but numerous large companies have launched big-budget campaigns toward the gay community based upon the commonly held knowledge that homosexuals, on avergae, have higher disposable incomes than heterosexuals.

Yeah, you're right man. Saying that homosexuals should not be discriminated against by the federal government is placing people into "groups." You're feeling that they should be labeled as "gay" and therefore disallow their marriages is very inclusive, on the other hand.

You should have been neutered at birth.

What I mean by the 'cosmic justice' label is that a certain minority of groups are doing everything they can to re-write the laws that were set to a standard here in the United States and they want to adjust the laws to affect the inequalities of society. This country is made of laws, not of men.

Do you understand that? Or should I make it a little more clear?

I know what researchers do all day. Miller Beer has MASSIVE campaigns in other areas as well. Doesn't mean that they know who makes how much. It just means that they are marketing to a certain area because there is a good size number out there, not because they make a certain amount of money.

Btw, last time I checked, beer wasn't that expensive.

Yes, they want to set a new standard of equality for a group of people who have been discriminated against since this country was formed. That frightens you because it's not what you're used to, and because you are a regressive thinker who likes to push the status quo. I think that's crystal clear.

No, you obviously do not. What is your professional/educational experience in the field which you feel makes you fit to speak on the subject?

No you moron, it goes deeper than that.

The next thing you know, is that there will be laws that have approved of marriage in the beastiality area, etc etc etc. To make everyone 'equal'. You obviously do not understand what im talking about.

How would an animal show consent to marriage? Sign a marriage license?

Don't ask logical questions. Don't you understand that bfp is holier than all of us and therefore has a much stronger moral compass by which to make these decisions? Can't you tell by the way he addresses people what a good and moral human being he is?

Seriously, bfp, what is you professional/educational experience which leads you to discount my statements of fact? I'm still waiting.
