"God created man, but Sam Colt made them equal." Guns are to defend you from criminals and ultimately from the government. I agree with you, except…

Consequently, this is very much possible in this country, and quite a common practice at that. And that's for the better - as said, everyone in this country is equal. However, that is not to say I am a <i>proponent</i> of homosexual couples adopting children. I, too, believe that a child is better off with a mother and a father - but, that is just my belief.

This is ideally of course, a divorce is sometimes better than an unhealthy environment, but this is how society functioned for long time and this is how mind healthy adults are produced. Not insecure freaks. It has nothing to do with religion, but with the overall health of our society going forward. I think notion of family has been eroded too much already and we will notice its benefits only when it’s too late. As for gay marriage, it should be called civil union or whatever and have the same legal rights as married couples, but adopting children should not be one of them in my opinion. We can’t have it all in life... Death penalty and civilian gun possession has no benefits whatsoever.

That's okay. I take great amusement in your malformed opinions and if you are so dead set on gay marriage, I am sure there is someone out there for you ;-) “…I consider the death penalty barbaric, civilian gun possesion [sic] idiotic, gay marriage a definite must for a modern society, and so on.”

He's most famous for bankrupting Cleveland as the mayor, and every four years saying he's running for the presidency again. He's mostly considered a joke by the rest of the country.
