I can see where this is going, and I am not liking it.

I live in California also, that should explain a lot.

Ok.. lol.. actually what Imperial said was:

But you see the problem right? Simply making an assertion isn't good enough. You have to make a case for why you are asserting a statement of fact as true and desirable.

So Imperial, consider yourself called out (in a friendly way). Make your argument why gay marriaged should be legalized everywhere and prepare to defend it. Thank you for stepping up to the plate rather than just making an emotional assertion.

alrighty then. I dont think there's a problem with gay marriage because it doesn't effect anyone who's against it. I think this video explains it rather well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIYzlUGenuA (lol i love this video so much...). There's my argument - "it doesn't effect you, it only allows happiness to a certain group of people".
