Answer 1

We were in Rome and May and saw the ruins - it crumbled from within due to immoral behaviors.
This is just one step in that direction and it makes me sad.
Marriage is a sacrament and should only be between a man and a woman...the way God intended it to be.

Answer 2

I've never read either the New Jersey constitution or the court's decision, but I wouldn't imagine that the state supreme court's decision was required by either federal or state law.

If there are arguments for same-sex marriages, I wish people would debate them, rather than rely on the courts imposing them like some monarch.

I would say to "judicial liberals" that a court that overreaches and gives you decisions you like can also overreach and give you decisions you don't like. Witness Kelo, and Bush v Gore. The process by which we make decisions matters, as well as the decision itself.

Instead of traveling, you should be home studying your history books. That is NOT why Rome fell. It fell because of over-taxation and a government intent on world domination, rushing to war at the proverbial drop of a hat. Why do you spew garbage like 'Rome fell because of immorality' on the internet where someb ody might actually think you know what you're talking about.

keesh - I believe the last time I saw the stats, here in CT we are the most heavily taxed ... and have the lowest return on the dollar from the federal government in the U.S.

Answer 4

NJ :toll roads, highest property and income taxes, sales taxes legal gambling, lottery, high registration fees the most taxed people in the USA! the Governor needed more revenue sources. morality be damned the government needs cash$$$$

Answer 5

Fortunately it is highly intelligent people who are in the justice system. That is why people like you have nothing to do with making the laws.

This is a civil rights issue. Lets not forget it is straight people who breed gay people.

Answer 6

Does this mean that "family members in the garbage disposal industry " in N.J. will be required to engage in homosexual activity??

Bada bing. . .

Answer 7

This was done, of course, by mandate of the N.J. supreme court, which unanimously ruled that some form of civil unions be allowed (the concurring and dissenting opinion argued that N.J. would have to allow gay marriage).

All I can say is -- another great state standing for equality.

Answer 8

yes. all heterosexual marriages are now null and void. What has the world come to, when we give people equal rights? i mean,. the Bush administration has worked so hard to get rid of american ideals...what's next? Equal pay for equal work? What would that do to the men in the US? They would have to all quit their jobs, since women came and messed it all up for everyone. I mean they already have the vote, now they want equality under the law? Welcome to planet venus, if you want me I'll be over in my spaceship...

Answer 9

Exactly what does any of this have to do with you, anyway? Sitting on your moral high horse, acting as if you were at the right hand of God.
A gay person is made that way because of biological conditions. What would you rather do? Just have them shot?

Answer 10

I look outside of my window and the world is apparently still spinning. The state of heterosexual marriage is largely unaffected. Odd. I have heard nothing but bile about how every "traditional" marriage was going to suffer. What happened? Where are the people trying to marry their dogs?

Maybe that was a bunch of predjudicial crap. Maybe gay marriage only affects the people getting married and their families. Maybe you guys have really been a bunch of a**holes about it.
