So, does this mean that Mansfield might get a stop on the 3C instead of Galion? If so, that would be awesome!

Haha, guilty :oops:. In my defense, sometimes you need to say something to someone and you don't want anyone else in the room to hear what you have to say. However, I don't really text all the time. I call people just as much as I text people. And to answer your last question, I have an Env2.

Speedy Prop 8 hearing sought at Calif. Supreme Court By The Associated Press 11.18.2008 9:04am EST (San Francisco, California) The state attorney general and sponsors of the ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage in California urged its Supreme Court to hear a series of lawsuits seeking to overturn the ban, saying the matter is too urgent to be unsettled.

No, the Bible does not mention anything about gay marriage. Not that the Bible should even be a valid argument against gay marriage. Last time I checked, the U.S. was a secular government.

Yes, slave holders did justify slavery by using the Bible. For example, Leviticus 25:44 says, "Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids,” which slave holders would translate as a God approving of slavery. Ephesians and Colossians would also be used to explain keeping Christian slaves (in those books Paul says that slaves can be believers in Christ). The Bible also says that slaves should obey their masters in everything they say, not out of fear of their master, but out of fear of God (Colossians 3:22). Colossians 4:1 tells masters to be good to their slaves because they (the slave holders) have a master in heaven (so in essence, treat your slaves as fellow, yet, unequal Christians). It is so sad that the Bible is being used by some minority people to justify the mistreatment of gays when not to long ago the same book was used to keep them from the rights that they have now.

There, I edited to read as "some" Mormons, I am sorry that I made a generalization of the Mormon church. But you can't deny the influence that the Mormon church as a whole had on the Yes on 8 campaign. I haven't really seen any sort of attack on the black community, just a question on how a minority group could deny another minority group the rights that they deserve (as fellow humans and taxpayers).

^^So, someone pointing out the fact that some Mormons believe in polygamy and that we (the gay community) would just love for the opportunity to have just one, legally recognized spouse is somehow bigotry? Are you also claiming that the millions of dollars donated to the Yes on 8 campaign by the Mormon church was not motivated by bigotry? Is it not bigotry to deny a group of people the rights that they deserve as fellow humans as well as fellow tax payers?

Gay rights rallies nationwide over Calif. ban By The Associated Press 11.15.2008 5:58pm EST Gay rights supporters waving rainbow colors marched, chanted and danced in cities coast to coast Saturday to protest the California vote that banned gay marriage there and urge supporters not to quit the fight for the right to wed.

I don't miss Tulsa at all! It is so flat, treeless, and lifeless.

Cross posted in the events thread Tomorrow at 1:30pm, in cities across the U.S., peaceful protests will be held against the passage of Proposition 8 in California.

And your over-the-hill! You made me say it.

I don't like being photographed either. And I am 18 (19 in two months, lol).

When I said wow, it had more to do with the fact that you got lost trying to walk to Tremont. :laugh: I commend you on your persuasive abilities.

MTS, why did you take the photo down? I wasn't done fawning over it. lol. I am kidding, well sort of. :-D Subtitled "What's the 4-1-1 bitches?" Do it.

When I was in Cleveland this summer (well, the time I did that 6 part tour) I just walked to Tremont from the W. 25th St. Station. I didn't want to deal with waiting for the bus and then waiting for it to maneuver through the Abbey Rd. detour. It wasn't that bad of a walk and I didn't have to be anywhere at a certain time, so... MTS - Wow

They (the LDS/Mormon church) deserves everything they are getting right now. The amount of money that the church donated to the Yes on 8 campaign is ridiculous. I think that they should lose their tax-except status. Besides, who are they to comment on the "sanctity" of marriage?

Gay activists rally outside Mormon temple in NYC By The Associated Press 11.13.2008 7:45am EST (New York) Carrying signs reading “Love not H8″ and “Did you cast a ballot or a stone?”, a large crowd of gay-marriage supporters gathered outside a Mormon temple to protest the church’s endorsement of a same-sex marriage ban in California. Since this has to do with the marriage issue, I posted this article here. If I was wrong to post it here, sorry

Amazing! Welcome to UO!

Thanks everyone! Front campus is defiantly the best part of Kent State.

Hopefully I will be in Centennial next year! JRC - Where you an architecture student? My uncle (he graduated from Kent's architecture program) thinks that the memorial spaces are over doing it and a waste of space.

MTS - I don't think anyone actually eats there. Rob - Whatever it is, it is depressing and reminds me of a communist country. JRC - Yea, they are also known as small group. UncleRando - Your welcome.
