Not sure what the best description would be... the people that support gay marriage and all the intricacies with insurance and such that aren't actually gay. I don't really understand their reasoning for this, but I also don't understand why Benson is a gumball machine, so, y'know.

Getting off all that stuff I started.... I'd say Iphone. I got an Android simply because my mother said that the data was cheaper. I've not seen proof of this, but that is what she continues to tell me.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with believing that the legal rights granted by the state should be granted equally to all, regardless of their sexual orientation. Some nonsense about "all men are created equal" or some such...

I get you, I get you. When people give me crap for being against women voting, blacks being allowed into any old public school, people with disabilities being allowed in public, or kids not having to work 14 hours a day in factories I make the same argument. It's like...wtf?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

... I got it the first time. I'd put out my opinions on this stuff, but I like being able to use this site, so I'll keep my fingers off the keyboard.

good idea, there's certainly a long history of people getting booted for having civil discussions about political issues/ideas on this site.

I'm not saying that, I didn't explain myself correctly. My ideas on the subject would be extreeeemely frowned upon here, and when you guys would condemn me for it, I would backlash, and eventually cause myself to be booted.

Speaking as one of the guys who does the booting, I can assure you that just disagreeing with people is not grounds to get kicked. If it were, we wouldn't have Inazuma's track record as the golden standard for when people need to go. Feel free to stand apart from the pack, dude. Worst case scenario is a discussion that might not go anywhere.

We all have some beliefs and opinions that would be considered in the minority.

Use rhetoric to win others to your cause, if it's something you feel strongly about.

Use the civil discussion to learn more about how others think, and more importantly why they think what they think. It's not a bad thing to know where others are coming from and how they got there.
