Ohio is totally redeemed tonight
From now on, Mormons rank lower than Scientologists.
I'd imagine so - black people are voting yes 69-31, and with the record Obama turnout...
I kind of never want to talk to my Mormon friends ("friends"?) again, or really anyone who's Mormon, period.
You think Ellen DeGeneres is gonna cry on national television?
Booooooo it's passing.
We have a ban on same-sex marriage here in Warshington, but we now have domestic partnerships as of this summer which are kinda basically the same thing, only called something different. Separate but not equal much?
??? ??? ???
So when will America get an openly gay president?GWB has been openly shitdicking the US economy for the last 8 years.
Booooooo it's passing.

I don't think the domestic partnerships have allllllll of the same rights marriages do. I'd have to look it up, but I'm lazy.
Ya ok! the black vote in so cal. Like all 100k of them. No friends, prop 8 passed because of the cathomexis, pure and simple. Its pretty sad, but hey im going to make the most of this and pretend like this is like shoving my big finger in norcal's face. woot.
:(
So since its blacks that voted yes on prop 8 are you liberals saying that black people are scum now?

the worst thing about arguing with people like Beardo is they are too stupid to realise they've lost :(
It isn't? Prop 2 there passed with 68% of the vote.There's no election drama. That's good enough for me. :-*
Missourri is the new Ohio, 400 votes short of Obama.
I'd imagine so - black people are voting yes 69-31, and with the record Obama turnout...Blacks, on average, are pretty socially conservative about certain issues.
I can't believe it actually passed considering that the only people who seemed to back it were oddball fundies. ???

African American voters in California voted overwhelmingly for Prop 8, writing anti-gay discrimination into California’s constitution and banning same-sex marriage in that state. Seventy percent of African American voters approved Prop 8, according to exit polls, compared to 53% of Latino voters, 49% of white voters, 49% of Asian voters.
I’m not sure what to do with this. I’m thrilled that we’ve just elected our first African-American president. I wept last night. I wept reading the papers this morning. But I can’t help but feeling hurt that the love and support aren’t mutual.
I do know this, though: I’m done pretending that the handful of racist gay white men out there—and they’re out there, and I think they’re scum—are a bigger problem for African Americans, gay and straight, than the huge numbers of homophobic African Americans are for gay Americans, whatever their color.
This will get my name scratched of the invite list of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which is famous for its anti-racist-training seminars, but whatever.
Finally, I’m searching for some exit poll data from California. I’ll eat my shorts if gay and lesbian voters went for McCain at anything approaching the rate that black voters went for Prop 8.
Is there a site that shows all the props for each state?http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/ballot.measures/
Also bullet trains >>>>> equal rights. Sorry guys. :-[
Anyone have the exit poll results pic, on race?

Sums up why I'm not beating myself up, though I am certainly mad:
1) It was close, and history and demographics are on our side.
2) No on 8 was, frankly, incompetent. They brought a knife to a NUKE fight. Yes on 8 used every dirty lying trick in the book, and No on 8 just sort of asked people to please be nice, if it's not too much trouble. By the time No on 8 woke up to what was happening, they'd already squandered a 20-point advantage. As Obama showed, it's not enough to be right - you also have to be ruthless. Next time will be different from the start.
3) In addition to being incompetent, No on 8 completely failed to seek out or use any of its high-profile endorsements. Why didn't Schwarzenegger cut an ad? Why didn't Obama? Why didn't any of the hundreds of celebrities who opposed this?
4) I am mad. Lots of people are mad. I only realized how close this was and started fighting a few weeks before the election. Unfortunately, a lot of Californians are being surprised by Yes on 8's success for the first time this morning. So they're mad, too, and they'll join the fight.
5) An Obama victory means a more progressive direction for America, the mainstreaming of LGBT opinions into the national discourse, and more liberal judges and justices if this gets challenged in court. All of these will be advantages the next time it's challenges.
So yeah. It sucks, and it's a setback, but it's a temporary one. The thing which makes me maddest is that we have to wait until 2010 for our first rematch.
My wife had to break up a screaming match at her work over prop 8. :-\
Yeah, I honestly didn't expect this shit to fly in Cali.
Just out of curiosity, is there any legitimate non-religiotard reason people want to ban gay marriage?
Protect the "traditional nuclear family." Protect "traditional marriage" (traditional in America, not traditional dating back to Sumerian days). Those are the reasons I've heard. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.
Among the people I talked to who voted Yes, it is true that some of them do hate homosexuals and believe that they will burn in hell, but most of them don't actually hate homosexuals. They simply see homosexuality as unnatural.
...
most of the people I know who voted Yes don't hate them; rather, they simply want to keep marriage between a man and a woman, and they don't see marriage as a "civil right."
I have more trouble understanding this point of view. At least I can write off the fundies and Mormons as brainwashed nutters, but clinging to this romanticized notion of sanctifying love and all that crap is just inane. My dad was trying to argue this same bullshit a couple of weeks ago. It's more about the legal issues than anything, eg joint taxation, joint property rights, and survivor's pension.
I think I didn't explain well enough. Most of the people I talked to who voted Yes are in favor of all of those things being given to gay couples. They are in favor of homosexual civil unions being expanded to include every right that married couples have. They are opposed to the word "marriage" being used to describe these unions.

I don't buy those exit polls; they don't add up to how the final vote is gonna end up being. I think there's probably some sort of weird effect where white people said they voted against it but voted for it in the booth. Call it the "Agadore Spartacus" Effect.
last time i checked the divorce rate was 50%+From what I understand, that stat is inflated (it's more in the low forties). But your point stands, marriage is not some sacred institution that gays will fuck up.
hateros have already fucked marriage up enough
Gays are the last group that can be openly hated on in the US. Well, maybe the Muslims and in certain backwater pockets, black people.Yes, I blame it on the WASPS!
WASPs just want to cling onto their one last group to hate.

Sounds like some people calling video games, "non games." IT DOESN'T FIT THE DEFINITION OF A GAME, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL IT THAT! :lol
well, ludicrous analogy likening videogames to human beings aside, you pretty much set the standard for "butthurt ninthing" by sticking THAT little non sequitur in a serious thread

Not comparing that with people, just showing that some people make a huge deal out of perceived definitions all the time. So for whatever reason, the people who don't want gay marriage are likely married people who think their little marriage category should only be a man and a woman.
I just find it ironic YOU of all people are saying something about not sticking with "perceived" definitions since you've been the internet king of waggle/non game/kiddie whatever else definition for about 95% of your posts for forever. :lol
the purpose of analogy is comparison, waggletard. you are claiming that mocking nintendo's irrelevant new direction directly correlates to the sort of thinking that deprived hundreds of thousands of californians of basic respect and dignity. this is why ninthings don't get laid!
Prole (or recursive) write me a law wherein the longer serious internet dissussion goes on the probability of a nintendo/anime comparison gets closer to one.

Since you're known for being a troll, mostly in video games, I just find it funny you take offense at a bunch of homophobe's being a stiff ass about who's allowed to be declared married when you troll all the time about little definitions of shit.
I honestly expected a standard Drinky classic "HOMOS AM CRY :catlogo :catlogo :catlogo" response. It's just funny that you actually take this seriously and act like you don't understand intolerance, of all people. :lol

Not seeing why the distinction even needs to be made, other than for the sake of preserving tradition that is inherently wrong. "Those distinguished effete fellows are going dirty up our marriage" is pretty much all that says

It wasn't a gay marriage-videogames analogy, it was an intolerance analogy. Drinky's known for trolling everything and being intolerant. I just found it ironic HIM of all people suddenly is clueless as to how the group of idiots in California who care far too much about something that doesn't concern them is governed, just because of how they define something. He spends all his time trolling something that doesn't concern him, its not a different sentiment than people in California "trolling" with anti-gay marriage stuff and voting against it when it doesn't concern them. So I'm not sure how he doesn't understand how people have that sentiment, when he does all the time, although much less relevant.

You brought up a Nintendo analogy and then your stated point was the text I bolded. What's difficult to understand here? You think trolling Nintendo is akin to taking away the rights of gays. You're the one that made the analogy and clarified your point.

inasmuch as you're capable of assessing it, yup. there's this hilarious little thing called "context"
leper hollywood and etoilet for this derail, btw
if you wanna grudgefight me over nintendo slights, take it to gaming
fuckin' nerds
Does intolerance and hatred get a coolie pass in certain cases? Your attitude is completely sensitive to time.
What in god's fucking green earth are you babbling on about? Are you seriously equating forum trolling with wide spread cultural and religious intolerance that has led to people actually being beaten to death? Yes, all the California gays just got "trolled," you fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.the purpose of analogy is comparison, waggletard. you are claiming that mocking nintendo's irrelevant new direction directly correlates to the sort of thinking that deprived hundreds of thousands of californians of basic respect and dignity. this is why ninthings don't get laid!
I'm comparing the way you act to that group of people who are set on making clarifications about the definition of message. Since you're known for being a troll, mostly in video games, I just find it funny you take offense at a bunch of homophobe's being a stiff ass about who's allowed to be declared married when you troll all the time about little definitions of shit.
I honestly expected a standard Drinky classic "HOMOS AM CRY :catlogo :catlogo :catlogo" response. It's just funny that you actually take this seriously and act like you don't understand intolerance, of all people. :lol
My wife was in tears last night because a bunch of our friends were voted second class citizens last night by millions of people. Way to take videogames too seriously.
It wasn't a gay marriage-videogames analogy, it was an intolerance analogy. Drinky's known for trolling everything and being intolerant. I just found it ironic HIM of all people suddenly is clueless as to how the group of idiots in California who care far too much about something that doesn't concern them is governed, just because of how they define something. He spends all his time trolling something that doesn't concern him, its not a different sentiment than people in California "trolling" with anti-gay marriage stuff and voting against it when it doesn't concern them. So I'm not sure how he doesn't understand how people have that sentiment, when he does all the time, although much less relevant.
Sorry, must be over your head. Maybe I shouldn't have brought up videogames and just explained it: drinky talking about intolerance is funny. Ta-da. I find it funny people think this thread is serus intranet business, when all kinds of others of equal issue importance get trolled and mocked all the time. Don't get all butthurt dude, chill. Go grab your wife's tissues or something.
Yes, Nintendo making non-games is as equally important as Prop 8 passing. Good jon.
Ya cus thats what I said ya know. WINNA.
You brought up a Nintendo analogy and then your stated point was the text I bolded. What's difficult to understand here? You think trolling Nintendo is akin to taking away the rights of gays. You're the one that made the analogy and clarified your point.
Okay so take out Nintendo and put whatever else Drinky trolls. I don't keep up with his thousands of posts lately but I'm sure theres another here in the off topic forum, I just went with what he's most notorious for. What the subject is, isn't the point, the point was I thought it was funny Drinky was on a crusade against intolerance - when the way he posts is one of the most intolerant people I've seen around these parts. Make more sense?

Really? What actually important issue is he intolerant on?
I disagree with people in their tastes for pop culture, but I don't make fun of them or spend as much energy and time into doing it as Drinky does. What people like and dislike, their TASTES can be as much born into them as anything. I obviously state my disagreement, but I don't act like a douchebag about it. This is a part of tolerance. You can not dismiss it.
Context, etiolate, context. Drinky is a grade A asshole, we understand, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because he is talking about videogames. Please don't conflate heavy handed console trolling with real bias.

Applying this separation of what its okay to treat poorly, then I'd assume you would all be ready to bust in some homo's skull a century or so ago. My point is that Drinky's behavior or anyone following such thinking shows a penchant for following a current idealogical thought flow more than that he is tolerant in any true, solid way.

Wow, etoilet. Now your argument is based on past-life regression or something., A hundred years ago, we'd ALL probably be bashing in homo skulls.

Yeah, but you're the only one who'd be doing it as foreplay.

Trolling Nintendo fans in 2008 == Murdering homos in 1908.
Now let me get this straight, you honestly think the delta (given 100 years) between murder and trolling videogame fans on the internet is literally zero?
you could stand to be more tolerant of me and my loathesome ways

It's the thought process behind it, which is only buffered by current mores, which is the deal here.
To me, "it's okay because it's.." is dangerous thinking.

Doesn't thinking "it's okay because it's. . ." dismiss the majority of valid logical reasons? You're saying there's never a good reason for blank, where blank could be anything.

We're talking about applying visceral hatred to things and the ethics of tolerance. I am applying it to that. There's good reasons for things. I don't find good reasons for hatred.
PS: The fact that I am putting up a real ethical question and people are ready to bail to lolsville says a lot.
recursively will appreciate this small but significant syntactical fix and its effect on overall local process efficiency
Mandark- binary? No, just Drinky is way too much a douche to be close to the positive side or at least not enough to be free of hypocrisy.
Also, what I say stands on its own. I don't think it needs me digging through my ethics stuff.
jesus what the fuckyou walked into what what might be the absolute worst attempt to "get" drinky in the history of videogame forums.
