No that is not what I'm trying to say. I do believe in love and feel that there is somone out there for everyone. I just think those people are of the oppisite sex.

I could never understand how there could be a debate over this. Gay marriage is something that everyone can be personally for or against, but since we feel this way on a personal level, where is the need for any kind of legislature to specify for gay marriage? No one is running into the streets in agony because gays are getting married, it affects no one but them, so we should let them do what they want. And no, it's not like people will be marrying pets soon. You're equating gays to animals.
And don't hand me that "They're ruining the sanctity of marriage" line because that was over when people could get married in 15 minutes in Vegas, and then get divorced the next day.

Speaking of being able to marry anything... I believe there is a simpsons episode on this exact subject.

a little late, but nobody else has posted so im going to continue the gay marriage thing by pointing out a flaw in barring it due to religion. especially christianity.
sure, the bible says that homosexuality is a sin, but it also explicitly states that all men should own slaves and women should be considered highly inferior to men.
seeing as how today's society in america strictly follows the bible with the above examples, i guess we can't allow gays to marry.
and anyway there is supposed to be a separation of church and state, so who cares what the bible, qu'ran, etc. say about homosexuality? that shouldnt affect the decision made about it.
finally, how would you like it if someone told you that you couldnt marry the person you loved? it has nothing to do with animals thats the dumbest argument ive ever heard. its not going to affect the straight couples in america if gay couples are allowed to marry. it wont affect straight couples if they can't, either. the only people this issue affects is gays. democracy is, by definition, run by the people it governs. why should anybody besides gays have a say in if they can or can't get married? it wont effect you.

Use- Steroids are wrong and can be harmful to your body. I believe that they should never be used, it is just plain cheating.
As for users... Barry Bonds is the top on my list. In my opinion he should be stripped of all his home runs.

People who use steroids don't have the balls to win on their own, and I don't think steroids help their cause in that area.

Kind of like Floyd in the tour de france (who failed his second test), He claims he had naturally high testosterone levels.
