I would never spit on another human being, not remotely close to a tasteful action.. But good luck with your agenda, and good luck with all the hate you carry inside for those you consider to lack tolerance for others. You're in the minority in North Carolina and probably the United States on this issue, the fact that you act so shocked by this is disturbing. Tough behind a keyboard, good for you.

You need to be over 13 to post on GAF.

[unomas]

In what way are you a minority?

I'm hispanic. One check for me as a minority, and I'm the son of a migrant worker. Thanks.

You're welcome?

Congrats, you've responded to one question asked of your while ignoring every thing else. You win the the thread.

Here's an easy one: what's your favorite color?

[unomas]

You need to be over 13 to post on GAF.

I'm 35, you're in your early to mid 20's at best. You haven't lived my life, so don't espouse to be more intelligent than I am because I don't agree with your views on gay marriage. Talk about narrow minded, everyone has the right to their own opinion. How childish of you to come down on someone for not agreeing with you. Congratulations on failing to grasp my right to my own view.

[Pctx]

Looks like the religious fucktards won this round.

Ahh liberal GAF being so tolerant again.

[Pollux]

Tell that to Mildred Loving: “I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry. Government has no business imposing some people’s religious beliefs over others. Especially if it denies people’s civil rights.” She finished her statement by saying, “I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.” -Mildred Loving

Fuck you. I come to GAF to get away from studying for my Constitutional Law exam tomorrow morning, and here you are posting cases I was just staring at. STRICT SCRUTINY STRICT SCRUTINY....I'm going to go punch myself in the face.

[SapientWolf]

I don't need to explain anything, I'm a minority, and obviously the people of North Carolina felt this was what they wanted. Overwhelmingly, unanimously, they decided against gay marriage. Some people don't want a completely liberal worldview like the minority here at GAF. Shocker!!!

Saying "good for them" doesn't make any sense. The fact that people want something doesn't necessarily make it a good thing when they get it. Again, what's the upside to this?

Why don't you agree with gay marriage?

Absolutely. The question is why that opinion should legally apply to anybody else. Gay marriage doesn't affect your life.

[Mammoth Jones]

I'm hispanic. One check for me as a minority, and I'm the son of a migrant worker. Thanks.

And I'm black. Do I get a fucking cookie? In all seriousness mate, using the "majority" as justification to deny someone a basic right is just fucking dumb.

Politicians use it as a wedge issue to rally their base when it's simply a matter of freedom. Let two consenting adults do as they please. Why oppose that?

[Tuck]

Well this is just sad. And there is no way for the federal government to intervene, right?

Total BS. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.

[Mr. Enigma]

[Ziltoid]

I'm hispanic. One check for me as a minority, and I'm the son of a migrant worker. Thanks.

So I take it that if they decided hispanics were to be stripped of basic rights you would be fine with it as long as it was decided by the majority? Right?

Talk about narrow minded, everyone has the right to their own opinion

True, but free speech also means we're allowed to say that your opinion is a bunch of shit. It goes both ways.

[thecouncil]

Why don't you agree with gay marriage?

seriously, youre not answering the only important question here:

why do you think its ok to deny the rights of a certain minority group?

i just want to know! haha.

[ivysaur12]

It's pretty childish to argue like a 12 year old, but that's just my opinion. How about you man up then and respond to some questions asked of you here? The tough ones. The ones you've ignored and instead have responded with "LALALALALALALALA IT'S THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS LALALALAL". Cause that's all I see.

[Matthew Gallant]

If you're such a big fan of majority rule, you should put your NeoGAF account up for a vote.

I'm serious, unomas. Don't be a coward.

[giga]

Would unomas be ok if the majority voted that hispanics need to sit in the back of the bus and can only marry others of the same sex?

[Escape Goat]

Mexican kids were segregated in orange county back in the 40s. Guess what? Supreme court ruled it unconstitutional. Tons of other shit had to be fought and won like voting and jury duty.

[unomas]

holy shit.

And I an think for myself and have my own opinions, I don't need my opinions formed for me because I'm a minority. The delusion of these boards is at an all time high. Yes, I must be for gay rights, a full blown democrat etc. etc. because I'm a minority. Pigeon hole us all, and make us all participate in the same cause because I'm hispanic. No thanks, I can form my own thoughts, opinions and plenty more. I've been descriminated against, it's not the end of the world. People need thicker skin, less handouts and more hard work.

Do you think my father who has worked full time since the age of 9 as a migrant worker whines about how he was taken advantage of? How he was discriminated against? No, he's been working full time for 50+ years busting his ass and I've never heard him gripe once about being a minority.

[CHEEZMO™]

Hey, Unomas, what other groups do you think don't deserve equal rights and treatment?

[SquirrelNuckle]

What's the problem here? The citizens voted for what they wanted. Just go live in a state where gay marriage is allowed. Is it that hard? America is based of Democracy.

This is not answering any questions asked of you. Keep trying.

Beyond the whole thing of not voting on minority rights, yeah, upending ones entire life to move to another state is pretty fucking hard sometimes.

You argue like a child. Your age versus theirs has nothing to do with this discussion, so why bring it up?

You are entitled to your opinion. No one is debating that, so stop bringing it up. But your opinion sucks. As far as I'm concerned, your views on gay marriage is narrow minded. You're the one denying people rights, not most of the people arguing against you.

Look at MEEEEEEEEEE! Try to contribute, instead of changing the subject.

[unomas]

I'm serious, unomas. Don't be a coward.

Seriously? Who are you to judge me exactly? Are you the judge of NeoGAF? Because my view doesn't match yours and were on liberal GAF I should accept a completely slanted challenge? Hmmmm......doubtful.

[NullPointer]

People need thicker skin, less handouts and more hard work.

So gays just need thicker skin, less handouts and more hard work? Then they can get married?

[thecouncil]

No, you lack a very basic understanding of civil rights history. Or the concept of civil rights at all.

[Bumblebeetuna]

Well that's awfully narrow minded of them. No marriage? Ok, I don't agree but can see that based on religion. No unions whatsoever?

You make it seem like both sides are legitimate and have a zero-sum effect on each other. They don't.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion or how you're defining legitimate. I'm simply arguing that the reactions in this thread are unnecessary.

You've gone yet another post without answering any of the questions asked of you.

Also, this is ironic.

[CHEEZMO™]

Hey, Unomas. If the people of your state voted that all Hispanic people should be put in internment camps then you'd be totes okay with that, right?

[ivysaur12]

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion or how you're defining legitimate. I'm simply arguing that the reactions in this thread are unnecessary.

Because one side is disgusting, hateful, and tears people down. Anger is justified and those opinions do not need to be tolerated as "another side of the discussion". They're not opinions based in logic, they're based on fear and disgust.

[speculawyer]

Yes, because all of those overblown reactions are the same as a vast majority voting against gay marriage. Easy to be a loudmouth on the internet behind a computer screen, go spout your views off in public in North Carolina and see where it gets you. The state voted, it was unanimous, typical liberal GAF freak out time.

[NGAMER9]

Hey, Unomas. If the people of your state voted that all Hispanic people should be put in internment camps then you'd be totes okay with that, right?

That depends on if the dads of all those people worked hard or not, or something like that.

I never thought I would see the "bootstraps" -argument in a thread about civil rights. I learn something new every day.
