Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
CONGRATS !!! NOW STFU !!!
To all the faggots in here. I voted for Gay Marriage and supported this decision, primarily because the government has no business regulating marriage.
Now, Mayor McFag and the rest of you, SHUT THE FUCK UP !!! Lots of us who support you are VERY FUCKING TIRED of your fucking drama about how discriminated against you were.

Of the people, by the people, for the people.....highly overrated.
Gotta love the trajectory of our once great nation.
Health care has long been an issue that both sides should have done something about, and the majority of "scotuscare" was actual a conservative platform 20 years ago. Both should have done something with it to make sure we didn't end up with "obamacare" in it's current form. Instead, we're left with what it was. Fuck both sides for leaving it.
Marriage should be available to all. if you want a religious ceremony go after it with big fucking bells and whistles. Nobody is stopping you.
It is also interesting that today's decision is coming at the same time as the outrage about the Confederate flag is once again ramping up ...
I suspect that if you poll most people, they would say that the Civil War (and by default, the Confederate flag being representative of) was to end slavery. Most forget that a leading reason that the Civil War took place, and the reason that the South seceded was because of the growing differences between the growing industrious Northern states and the more rural/farming Southern states and that the balance of power resided with the Northern states and most policies were benefiting the Northern states at the expense of the Southern states. Most don't realize that the Civil War started in 1861 and that the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't until 1863. There's no doubt that slavery was involved in the underlying reasoning. But the Civil War wasn't a difference of opinion that was tied to the issues surrounding slavery and only that.
Bottom line is that throughout the history of this country, there has always been a delicate balance between the Federal government trying to dictate law to ALL states ... which flies in the face of the concept of the rights of the individual States and their ability to govern in a way that best represents the needs and desires of the people within their State. That's true today as much as it was 150 years ago.
*Note: In no way are my comments supportive of the Confederate Flag. I understand why many in the South have strong feelings for the flag (and not all of those feelings are tied into the concepts of slavery and racism). I also completely understand what the flag represents for the vast majority of people. Retiring the flag is the right decision. Nobody should forget the events of the Civil War (the before, during, or after). But at this point in our society, the damage that the flag causes is far too great.
Here is the first draft of the New Yorker cover that was deemed too "racy" to publish:

Thanks for your honesty about Libfield. It's almost as big of a pile of shit as UO's campus.
Christians like this (the majority in the US I'd say) don't help others. They just want to live what they think is a "righteous" life so that they can get to heaven after they die. Very similar to ultra conservative Islamists.
As to Linfield -- one of my dorm mates (who played TE for the Wildcats on their 82 national championship year) is now an associate AD at the UW. I guess coming from a "pile of shit" college is good enough to land a associate AD job at the UW?
