    as we thought, it'll never happen. anyway will you at least address the point that Obama is doing his job as president and wants the law repealed in congress.

    No you won't - you never have before for the last 8 years, in fact you went the opposite way and labeled GWB ("the most pro-gay rights president ever") or something equally idiotic. This issue is not very important to you other than to score whack-off points on the BBS so you can claim to be some sort of gay-rights icon to all of your good friends here. Wow awesome.

    I'm not going to go through the whole thread again to see if you addressed this, because frankly some of the posts disgust me, but you do know that Obama always opposed gay marriage right?

    he's got a bully pulpit, and seems to have no trouble using it when he wants to make a "big speech."

    perhaps he's too busy throwing Iranians under the bus to bother with trying to defeat DOMA.

    perhaps he's to busy dealing with pressing issues (no offense to gays) like the economy, iraq, afghanistan, gitmo, all left by our last president

    Ironic aint it..

    Perhaps BJ is right and that I am too polite but for what its worth I stand by my opinion and I was apologizing for dragging this out. I stated my piece and that should've left it at that. As much as I felt there was no need to personalize things between BJ and LL it ended up getting more personal between BJ and myself.

    Congrats on seeing your kid off to school. May I ask which school?
    I believe the tide of history is against homophobia and years from now we will look back and think of how foolish the whole debate over Gay Marriage was. People will always hold onto their beliefs and seek to pass them on. That doesn't mean that their children or they themselves won't change.

    It's all good, judoka. (Or at least it was before that dishonest loser basso came back to stink up the thread again.)

    So you know, though it may seem that way, I'm not a bomb thrower. I just freely express my thoughts and views without regard for toning down my sincere passion. Some people, here and in the real world, are put off by this, sure. But most aren't. I have as many or more friends than anyone I know and the vast majority of them appreciate being treated with honesty. If I met LL in person and learned what he was teaching his children I would tell him to his face first that I considered it abusive and second why I found it abusive. And I guarantee you we would have a productive discussion about it. Even here, on the internet without the benefit of nuanced tone and eye contact, we aren't leaving this thread as blood enemies -- only as people who sincerely disagree.

    For all the admonishments from various quarters that I "go to far" or should "tone it down," I don't count a lot of the posters on this board as enemies. I've met and hung out with more than 50 posters on this board (they'll all tell you there's no difference between me online and offline) and with the exception of that sociopathic nutjob basso, I consider them all friends.

    I am also polite for the most part. I just don't let the holy grail of politeness water down my sincerely held ideals. But it's very rare that those ideals, sincerely expressed, loses me a friend.

    Anyway, I look forward to meeting you next time you're in Houston. First one's on me.

    As opposed to the prior president using the bully pulpit to overturn DOMA?

    This is about the worst issue for a supporter fo the past Admin to argue since you just cutting off your own nose to spite your face.

    I'm going to break my self imposed rule of not responding to trolls just this one time, basso.

    Not a single person here likes you.

    could be, dunno. i've met several people from the board and seem to have a pretty decent relationship with most of them. you seemed like an ok dude in person, so not really sure where we went wrong. perhaps it's that most people are pretty good at separating their online persona from their real life. however, as you noted above, you make no effort to do so. perhaps that's the problem.

    Good lord, are you kidding? You have said more than once here that I enjoyed killing babies, got a thrill when Americans were killed overseas, was gay, that my girlfriend was a man and on and on. And you're "not really sure where we went wrong?" You're a sociopathic d******d. That's where we went wrong.

    Now I'm back to not responding to you anymore. I wish you'd do me the same favor.

    well, yes, but you've said similar things, including multiple times in this thread- those things are a symptom, not the cause. but name calling seems to be how many on the infantile left "argue", you're exhibit A, but Sam or Mark could just as easily assume pride of place.

    You were not. Sam already called you out on the issue. Furthermore you claimed there was no difference in his position and that of our current president.

    It has been pointed out to you numerous times the huge difference. One wanted to change our constitution to make it illegal for same sex marriage to ever be recognized in the U.S., and the other is against amending our constitution on that issue.

    For you to claim they are the same shows your lack of concern for the issue, or perhaps you can't even perception of what those issues are.

    You are so far out of the stratosphere as far as being on the side of gay rights that it is laughable for you to voice your "support" for the issue.

    Amazing that you couldn't even get through the one sentence where you try to criticize the other side without your own name calling...

    Not even one sentence? Really?
