So I told you it would happen. A way has been cleared to vote against same sex marriage here in CA in November.
What do you think the outcome will be?

hopefully ban.
Hahahahaha, Human Right's will always prevail in this country, you think in a society that allows illegals to have right is gonna be able to stop Gay Marriages?
It may get delayed again, but it will happen sooner than later.

actually, who gives a crap? if they wanna get married, i say go ahead and make that leap. . . if the CA Supreme Court says they can, it's good enough enough for me.

remember folks just a few decades ago, the big issue was Interracial marriage.. OMG
i think same sex marriage will just go through a couple courts but eventually it will pass as permanent and acceptable

This is just a YES/NO poll... No one is saying yet why they think this way. So let's not turn this into a thread that gets locked. Either it's YES/NO. Personal feelings should be left at the front door. Maybe some research backup to think why it would be banned, but let's keep the personal opinions on "WHY DO YOU GUYS THINK THIS WAY?!", or "geezz i dont know why people hate it so much just let the gay comunity be ". Nobody is hating on the gay community in here.
I simply asked what do you think would be the outcome, and not what do you think about the whole thing. This is just to keep the thread from going down south.
thanks!
We have bigger problems, like the illegals that are leaching this state dry. Lets focus on that in an election, not worrying about who is marrying who.
You post up a poll like this on whether the state will ban gay marriage in an election, your going to get unsolicited commentary on the issue.

.... its just a government thing. Why the government still has control over marriage, which is a religious thing, i dont understand. I though they where trying to separate god from the government, but yet its the government that still controls it. So this has nothing to do with religious beleafs, its about government control.

... and san farn is one of the best and safest places to live... due to the gays. Where are the gay gangs? All most all gay communities are far more evolved over the rest the sositiy(sp? stupid spell check is fail!) Its true. And like a said, most gay couples are far off happier and live better than the rest of the population.
SO GIVE THEM MARRIAGE IF THEY WANT IT! I dont care who marries who, it doesn't hurt any one.

Leaching dry, come on Mario, I know your not stupid, you just want to hear me say it, so here ya go................
This state is being run dry by illegals from Mexico, PERIOD. From inmates in our prison systems, welfare and unemployment, let me give you an example. A couple of illegals come here, both work under the table, sending money back to mexico, collect benefits under SEVERAL different false SS documents, collect unemployment in a couple of states, squirt out 5 or 6 anchor babies they can't afford, we have to pay for their education and health care but the children are now "citizens" and have NO means of taking care of themselves. I have had two friends that have worked in the public schools in south Los Angeles, all of this is true, they were basically state paid baby sitters while the parents, which I stated earlier, don't work, or work an under the table job, and show up to pick up their anchor baby in a new Escalade. This isn't even to mention the cost of crime, drug and gang problems, back in the 70's and 80's gangs were predominantly Black, nowadays, the Hispanic gangs eclipse them 10 to 1 and are much more violent. My fiancee' had to do a whole report on illegal immigrants and the cost on the state and social services, I work in Santa Ana and see it first hand every day, was that what you were looking for? You want to call me a racist for not wanting me to see my home state go down the shitter, fine, so be it, but I will have you know, I have SEVERAL Hispanic friends, and they all for the most part, feel the same way I do. You want to continue this, start a debate thread for it and we'll go at it.

X stew!! I'm on the fence, but I think illegals do it not to ever become citizens . . . that to me would be taking advantage of hospitality.

The Word Man was used during a masculine dominant period. Obviously times have changes Ted, Man is now used as a title for the Human Race, Man and Woman alike. Society will always change, if it doesn't, Kelly wouldn't be able to vote, Xtine wouldn't be allowed to drive, you wouldn't be driving a volkswagon, you're name would be Mario, and you'd wear a sombraro drinking Horchata staring at the American's having a good ole time on our side of the border (And by ours I mean, whities, cause I'd still be in China choking on smog and eating dogs!)
im not narrow minded i said i dont care what they do. just dont give it the name marriage. that words been around for man and woman for like what?! since the begingin of time?
You're being narrow minded, not in the fact that you're knowledge of the term marriage is semi correct, but in your non-allowance of change. You have the right idea (let it happen), but by not calling it marriage would eliminate benefits, or create new article for equal benefits. Domestic partners do not get the same benefits as a married couple. So how many forms do you want a couple to have to fill out before they can pretend to be married?
For the sake of yourself and everyone else that pays TAXES, let it be called marriage, and let them be Happy!

I am extremely hopeful, and making frequent donations to help, that the Hateful, Bigoted Prop 8 fails miserably.
People using specious arguments against Equality sound as foolish, and are using the same flawed logic, as was used 41 years ago when Whites & Blacks where finally able to get married.
This is not a religious issue. Indeed, The 1st Amendment prohibits it from being so. No, this is an issue of Equality.
Homosexuality is not a "Lifestyle" and there is no "Agenda." For those of you that disagree with me I would like to ask you, "When did you decide to be part of the Heterosexual Lifestyle?"

marriage is NOT a religious thing (any more)...it's a governmental thing. It deals with parenting rights, insurance benefits, life insurance benefits, various other types of benefits. It deals with a legal relationship that exists between to two people who aren't tied by blood.
marriage has even less to do with religion than christmas has to do with jesus.
(and, to answer your question regarding separation of church and state, I paraphrase the learned Justice Souter of the Supreme Court: [talking about a copy of the 10 commandments at a courthouse] gov't need only have a predominant secular purpose, not an entirely secular purpose).

No, i'm just interested in hearing what everyone has to say regarding illegal immigrants. I work very closely with immigrants (both legal and illegal) and I am an immigrant myself (born and raised in costa rica). . . and I am trying to understand what thoughts people have regarding immigrants because I'm on the inside looking out.
I WILL say this: it's very, very, very hard to get welfare or any other type of public benefit if you are NOT a citizen or eligible alien. Impossible, actually. Hell, it's even hard to get just food pantry assistance at most gov't-funded programs. (this is NOT a topic for debate. I work at a law firm and we deal hand-in-hand with public benefits (for citizens). . . an illegal immigrant cannot and will not get welfare or any other sort of benefit. ever. won't happen. . .)
(note, I am not talking about cases of fraud. . .which are very hard to pull off and are hunted down by the gov't feverishly).
I think gays and illegal immigrants (and muslims) are the new minorities in this country. . . pre-civil rights it was blacks. . .now the shift has been toward other minorities.
(note, I am not saying it's all peachy for blacks in this country now. . .but certainly better than it was say...in 1953).
I have no issues with anyone that comes here and is a productive member of society, I have friends from Asia, Europe, Mexico, Canada, all here legally, and productive members of society.
In CA we can not turn someone down for healthcare because they can not pay, illegals are included in this.
It is hard to get benefits, but not hard with someone elses SS#, and by using SEVERAL, one person can claim disability, unemployment, for several "people" in different states at the same time.
Funny thing, the president of Mexico, lives in Europe.................
And as far as fraud, how do you hunt someone down that you don't even know who they really are and technically on paper, don't even exist in this country?
mario
07-17-2008, 01:30 PM
as a general proposition, but applicable to this thread:
I think the problem with this country today is over-legislation. . . we want to have a rule for everything, a law for everything. . . when in reality, certain things are best left for the community wherein one resides to solve.
NO PEOPLE, the constitution doesn't have all the answers. . . in fact, the constitution probably answers less questions than it poses. . . every time people try to legislate things, it just causes more problems.
thus, I think gay marriage is not a constitutional issue...it's a community issue. . . if people in CA thing gays should/can get married and people in Alabama don't, so be it.
(by "people" i mean the gov't and the representative democracy we have, not a direct democracy....)

i personally know of a person who left one state, moved for a (temp) job in a diff state, forgot to close her food stamps in her original state and is now banned for 10 years from ever receiving them. . .concurrent benefits carries a huge penalty.
fraud is an issue. always will be. but to blame illegals for all the fraud (or even more than a minute share of it) is just plain wrong (statistically). it's an easy and fast scapegoat. . .but it yields no real truth.
as per healthcare. . . I wouldn't have it any other way. . .they should never turn down a person based on their ability to pay. . . be it a US citizen or not. If you were shot and you needed help but had no money. . .they wouldn't turn you down. it's a great rule (whose roots are in medical professional ethics and not legislation, keep in mind). . .and ask any doctor, they agree with it.
(Also, i don't get what you intend by pointing to the mexican president living in europe...what bearing does that have on illegal immigration in the US?)
That Mexico is so corrupt and messed up and over run with cartels, he is living in Europe so he will still be alive.............. the mexicans I work with can't stand the guy.

(note, I am not talking about cases of fraud. . .which are very hard to pull off and are hunted down by the gov't feverishly).
I am extremely Pro LEGAL Immigration.
I'm from NYC and about 60% of my friends where Immigrants. They worked and struggled so hard to be a part of America. They assimilated. They rarely spoke their native tongue and where embarrassed to forget a word in English. When they got their Green Cards we would have big parties and they where so proud of the YEARS of HARD WORK that it took for them to be an American.
Illegals are on par with cockroaches. They are an infestation that needs to be eliminated. Yeah, pretty harsh words, but let's look at it logically. Something Pro ILLEGAL ALIEN people are incapable of doing.
First, they BROKE THE LAW!
Second, they refuse to assimilate!
Third, they are straining our infrastructure with clogged roads, bankrupt Emergency Rooms, uninsured vehicles, etc.
Finally, I utterly despise the bullshit argument that they came here to make a better life. THEN DO IT LEGALLY! Let's make an analogy...
Let's say I am a single mom that can help put food in my infant's belly and a roof over her head if I only had a car to get to a job. So, I go out and steal YOUR car. Using YOUR car I get the job and now me and my baby have three square meals a day and a roof over our heads in a small one room apartment.
Then, one day you show up with the Police and say, HEY Bitch! Gimme my car back! I tell the police that I only took it to make a better life for my baby. Then a group of loud obnoxious activists show up and start calling you a racist, they start calling you a sexist, they start calling you a male chauvinist pig. HOW DARE YOU WANT THE LAW TO BE UPHELD. HOW DARE YOU! SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO FEED HER BABY.
Because of the angry mob you not only never see your car again, but you must still pay the car loan for a car you will never ever see AND if you miss a payment then people will protest you.
That is what it's like for us CITIZENS being held hostage by Illegal Aliens for our tax dollars.
I am not a Xenophobe. I am not a Racist. I truly love people from all over the world and have traveled the globe making friends on every continent and in turn hosted them in my home when they visited NYC.
I will happily welcome anyone and everyone to America, whether they be from Tijuana, Mexico or Waldheim, Germany. All I ask is that you come here legally.

Just a little reality check.
You do realize that the California Supreme Court, that upheld the California Constitution, has Republicans as Justices right?
To quote Republican Chief Justice Ronald M. George who voted in favor of Gay Marriage, "I think," he concluded, "there are times when doing the right thing means not playing it safe."
or am I confusing you with facts? I know they are difficult for many Republicans to grasp.

Hey, go report yourself. OFF TOPIC!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
i think i've had just about enough of your using me as the butt of your jokes, your photoshop shit, you have an undeniable mean streak lately and well frankly, you can go **** yourself..
why don't you report that.
I am extremely Pro LEGAL Immigration.
I'm from NYC and about 60% of my friends where Immigrants. They worked and struggled so hard to be a part of America. They assimilated. They rarely spoke their native tongue and where embarrassed to forget a word in English. When they got their Green Cards we would have big parties and they where so proud of the YEARS of HARD WORK that it took for them to be an American.
Illegals are on par with cockroaches. They are an infestation that needs to be eliminated. Yeah, pretty harsh words, but let's look at it logically. Something Pro ILLEGAL ALIEN people are incapable of doing.
First, they BROKE THE LAW!
Second, they refuse to assimilate!
Third, they are straining our infrastructure with clogged roads, bankrupt Emergency Rooms, uninsured vehicles, etc.
Finally, I utterly despise the bullshit argument that they came here to make a better life. THEN DO IT LEGALLY! Let's make an analogy...
Let's say I am a single mom that can help put food in my infant's belly and a roof over her head if I only had a car to get to a job. So, I go out and steal YOUR car. Using YOUR car I get the job and now me and my baby have three square meals a day and a roof over our heads in a small one room apartment.
Then, one day you show up with the Police and say, HEY Bitch! Gimme my car back! I tell the police that I only took it to make a better life for my baby. Then a group of loud obnoxious activists show up and start calling you a racist, they start calling you a sexist, they start calling you a male chauvinist pig. HOW DARE YOU WANT THE LAW TO BE UPHELD. HOW DARE YOU! SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO FEED HER BABY.
Because of the angry mob you not only never see your car again, but you must still pay the car loan for a car you will never ever see AND if you miss a payment then people will protest you.
That is what it's like for us CITIZENS being held hostage by Illegal Aliens for our tax dollars.
I am not a Xenophobe. I am not a Racist. I truly love people from all over the world and have traveled the globe making friends on every continent and in turn hosted them in my home when they visited NYC.
I will happily welcome anyone and everyone to America, whether they be from Tijuana, Mexico or Waldheim, Germany. All I ask is that you come here legally.
I concour!! :tup:

people with approved i-130 petitions have a waiting period of anywhere between 2-20 years (depending on their relationship to the petitioner)
immigration in this country is a joke. and arrogant people who are quick to blame immigrants make the mood worse.
the one final thing i ask to all of you is, before you make claims (illegals suck up public benefits, illegals commit crimes, etc), do the research. then compare percentages of illegals who commit crimes to say...black, white, asian, etc. yours eyes will be opened.
that is all.
also, gay people should be allowed to marry.

Don't care who gets hitched to who. I can't wait to see the first alimony/child support cases come thru though,lol. There are bigger problems.
One problem I have w/the above statement is if I do the research of my area, won't the data be good for only my area? This would not make me wrong because this is what goes on around me, but it may not be what's happening in Montana, or Iowa, or Ohio.
If you take Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego Counties and look at Statistics on Crime. I don't think this is going to support your argument.
I can say from experience that the ratio of black/asian/whatever vs. Latino gangs (which have been reported to have quite a percentage of illegal immigrant membership)is quite one sided. There are virtually no SIGNIFICANT black gangs in Orange County. I'm willing to bet there are more Skins, Peckerwoods and white pride types than black gangs in O.C. There was Watergate back in the day, but I'm not sure they even exist anymore. There are entire cities (don't know about SD County in this statement) in the counties I've lived in that are entirely Latino gang dominated. From the officers I know Latino gang membership is suspected to be at least 50% of ALL gang membership in LA County. Especially telling is their view on 18th St. In 1995 they were said to have 20,000 soldiers (not to disrespect any actual, real soldiers or vets on here). The police believed that at least 60% of them were illegal.
Now I can't believe if we didn't just start really cracking down and deporting (and actually keeping out) illegals and criminal illegals (redundant, I know) we wouldn't put a significant dent in those numbers.
On another note. You CAN receive benefits from welfare (better known as AFDC - Aid to Families with Dependant Children) in California at least as an illegal alien. You just need an anchor baby. Family friends that work for the state and county as social workers tell me that since the baby is already a citizen it allows for the parents to receive the benefits allowed for that family unit. No baby, no money.

question:
to get married in the USA, one does not need to show a legal presence in the USA. . . one simply need show ID and be of legal marriage age.
so. . . should two gay, illegal immigrants be allowed to marry?

Impossible scenario.
Should two same-sex LEGAL immigrants be allowed to get married. Sure why not.
Should two same-sex ILLEGAL ALIENS get married. If they love each then I think they should be allowed to as well. If their country allows them to get married, and I hope it does. Since they are not here legally the only right they have is to get their law breaking butts shipped back to their country. However, if they just need to show up at the county clerks office in the USA to get married then sure let them get married. Then after the ceremony ICE should ship their sorry asses home.
Please people. If you're gonna pose a question please make it a real question. Use some logic and a basic understanding of our laws. It may actually challenge me and my responses won't make you look stupid.

Illegal aliens have a negative affect on legal citizens lives, I personaly experianced hardships as a result of someone leaching off our system.
An illegal alien jacked my wifes ssn when she was a little kid. Asshole had been using it for years before we caught him by accident. The guy had a house insured throught the same company my wife worked for and she also had a policy with them. So one day she looks up her policy by her social number and a bunch of crap comes up. WE did more research and found all kinds of things attached to her ssn. Her credit score was low as hell and made financing a car for her impossible. The guy had over 4 cars (3 were repossed), had two houses (1 forecloser), 3 different child support checks, collected welfare for 7 years (yes it does happen mister legal guru), and had an ass load of credit cards that were maxed out and in collections. Now all this money that was lost due to this guys malice has to get paid for by someone. Who do you think it is, sure as hell isn't going to be him. When someone is living in the country illegally it is always costing somebody eles's tax dollar for him to live there even if they arn't a felon like the ass that screwed up our lives to the point that it took a good two years to fix. If this wasn't such a serious issue the US government would not be hiring Border Patrol agents at an all time high on top of sending in the US Army to reinforce the border patrol. If you snuck into my country the illegal way you can leave. As a citizen you contribute, as an illegal alien you are a parasite and need to go the fuck home.

let me school a lil' on basic law and reasoning:
the scenario YOU posted is impossible because a county clerk cannot ask for immigration status (or social security numbers, etc) to issue a marriage license. . . thus, ICE could never know if the people being married are legal or not. . .

ask immigration status. I said ICE should be waiting to deport their sorry law breaking asses.

why does anyone give a fuck whether or not gays get married? Is their feeling of love for one another less than a straight couples? If gays get married does that nullify your love?
I mean goddamn, people are so fucking stupid in this country. It's no wonder we have a billion dollar mistake in the middle east, oil compaines are recording record profits, unemployment is up and the dollar is down.
FUCK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU THAT SAID BAN. You're fucking assholes who should have their rights to vote taken away. You have no right to decide what love is or isnt.
