Apple's putting their money where their mouth (a.k.a. Hot News) page is:<br><br>http://www.macrumors.com<br><br>Good for Apple. Taking basic rights away from people who love each other does nothing to help anyone. See also: interracial marriage. History repeats yet again!<br><br>I wish I knew which "No-on-8" organization(s) would be most effective to donate money to. I know the extreme right minority has spent big bucks to sway certain voters toward 8 via deceptive advertising. An equally large response is needed.<br><br>nagr[color:red]o</font color=red>mme<br><br>I require stroyent!<br>TeamMacOSX.com | MacClan.net

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>interracial marriage<p><hr></blockquote><p>Those restrictions were absolutely disgraceful... how could race offend the requirement of marriage as the union of one man and one woman? Anyone who wants to start coming up with their own personal definitions and imposing their prejudices on everyone else should immediately apologise.<br><br>km<br><br>

I never been opposed to gay marriages and I have gay friends for the record and for the record I am NOT gay.<br><br>I do have a problem with gay married couples adopting , "extremely" young children who don't have a choice of entering a family with those values .<br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I never been opposed to gay marriages...<p><hr></blockquote><p>Personally I don't have any strong views about it but if I were pressed I'd say that marriage is a human manifestation borne of love of the union of sexual opposites that exist in nature to perpetuate the species. Civil unions where they are allowed are something else... what I would describe as a human-only same-sex parody of marriage.<br><br>km <br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Therefore a joke, therefore not the same thing, therefore disadvantaging the homosexual... <p><hr></blockquote><p>Not at all... the whole purpose of civil unions is to equalise taxation and succession rights to avoid discrimination against homosexuals as against parties to a marriage.<br><br>km<br><br>
