A butt growing job is a job where all you do is sit and grow your butt all day (most office jobs).

That's pretty funny.

Why does that seem so hard for some people to understand.

That's what I've always learned.

hey TheSheep,

Thanks for all the replies. Good comments.

I suppose we'll just have to disagree. The majority of Americans still support traditional marriage and have said so at the polls. I disagree with the very vocal minority that is attempting to change that.

I support marriage between a man and a woman.

As to whether I'm married and if a civil union would be enough, I don't have to concern myself with that. Marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in every country and part of the world. The concept of a man and woman forming a relationship is as old as recorded history.

If it isn't a man and a woman it isn't marriage. When you say that I'm telling a certain group they can't be married, that doesn't make any sense. A civil union is a contract between two people and is adequate to describe what they've chosen.

Here's how the dictionary defines marriage: " the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law"

It isn't a matter of separate but equal. What they want is not marriage.

I didn't see the show, but I read about the issue in the paper. I tend to agree that these beauty pageants are a bit strange to me.

For the "binding contract" part, there are civil unions. Why can't that be enough? At any rate, I agree with you that religious groups should be left alone from the government and special interest groups. If two people want to do something and a religion tells them that they can't do it in their church, why would they want to be part of that church. Go find a different church that doesn't mind what you're doing.
