Re: One Smart Kid
That shows real character, especially from a ten year old. Whether you agree with his views or not (and I most certainly do) you have to admire his taking a stand.
It also shows that minors are capable of making rational descisions
contrary to the belief of many. It just shows that age is not a factor in rationality. I have seen many adults with not as much sense.

Re: One Smart Kid
My point was not trying to say that all minors are adult-like as much as I was saying many adults lack his senseie.
the following are things I have heard from adults over the years:
1) fellow soldier: "of course blacks are lower than whites. They even look like monkeys."
2) fellow soldier: "The worst thing this country ever did was give women the vote. They don't vote the issues."
Me: Oh, by the way why did you vote for Reagan?"
Fellow soldier: "He was the best actor I've ever seen."
3) Fellow student: "Of course this is a Christian country, all the founding fathers were Fundimentalist Christians."
Me: "Thomas Jefferson was at best a Deist."
Fellow Student: "Why do you say Jefferson was a devil worshipper?"
These are just of the many stupid comments that adults have said to me.

Re: To Taz and iano, and anyone who opposed gay marriage...
I totally agree.
so long as we cannot quantify an objective harm that would be caused by such a choice?
Being from a state where same-sex marriages are legal, Massachusetts, I can say that all the stupid ideas that same-sex marriage are supposed to cause, don't.
1) Force Churches to marry gays. No
2) Leads to breakdown of traditional marriages. No, Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate in the country and there has been no increase in domestic violence among married couples.
3) It will lead to those wanting marriage with other species or marriage between adults and children. I have not seen or heard anyone who advocates these.
The only thing I can say about this is that those who do not want to allow same-sex marriages are saying it for the above stupid ideas or from archaic bronze age biblical writings.

Re: Adoption Market: Confused?
such family units circumvent, by design, the rights of a child in regard it being raised by it's biological parents.
Oh, really? So does the death of a parent, incarceration or institutionilization of a parent, quite often so does divorce and always when an unwed mother gives up the child for adoption.

Correct it is bullshit. I live in Massachusetts and nothing has hurt conventional marriages here at all. Why shouldn't sex ed include gay lifestyles? I guess the fundies think that ignorance is bliss.
