I really hope that the decision seriously cuts down the number of depressions and suicides of people struggling with their sexuality. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 10:10 10
- Yes. -- nm - ML Jun 26, 10:22
- [deleted] 1
  - I don't think everyone (esp. heteros) thing that far into it. Many just think people are just not happy which isn't the same as being depressed. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 10:17

- Where did you rent from? Most services are 30 days. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:06 10
  - it's not that what i rented expired. it's that what i found as available recently is now no longer available to rent.... - x Jun 26, 10:11 8
    - This is why I buy rather than rent. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:15 7

i've said it before, but it warrants repeating, ST has had more than it's share of hetero marriages, but not even one gay wedding. - Andie Jun 26, 09:57 4

        Waze is a travel app that is fantastic. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:24
        
        I'm at the store! -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 10:03

So do we think that these 2 rullings this week Obamacare and Gay Marraige have any impact on the presidential race - eag Jun 26, 09:47 14
- I agree with the first sentence of your IM. Not sure about Sec. Clinton though. And Carly Fiorina could benefit with a carefully crafted message. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 09:54
- I think Obergefell makes gay marriage easier on the GOP. They can say "don't like it, but SCOTUS has ruled" - ty97 Jun 26, 09:53 5
  - That's a good point. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 10:09 3
    - The fine line they will have to walk (as Beaker alludes to) is how they get the party vote. My approach works fine for the general - ty97 Jun 26, 10:10 2
      - Like I said on an earlier post, Carly Fiorina may be the GOP candidate best able to make this decision work to her advantage. - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 10:28
      - I expect we'll get a lot of veiled talk about activist judges. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 10:14
  - ha. the actual smart onesmay say that, the politically smart ones will play to the base and denounce it like poison -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:55
- It gives the GOP hopefuls plenty of opportunity to sound stupid and hateful. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 09:53 2
  - As if this wasn't the case 3 days ago? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 09:56 1
    - There is a new floor to what is acceptable now that SSM has SCOTUS approval. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:01
- They will be key, and no, we cannot pencil Hillary in as President. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:51 3
  - Yeah, this is going to fire up the conservative base a lot more than the liberal base. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 09:56 2
    - That's the trap. The people motivated to speak up are the ones the party doesn't want talking. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:33
    - Yeah, the downside is given this is now a 65% support level for SSM in polls... - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:58
Current Fox News Topic: Hilary Clinton emails. - David Jun 26, 09:47 5
- OT: But a couple of days ago on CNN, the lower third read "Tsarnaev Apologizes; Sentenced to death" and all I could think was... - Mop Jun 26, 09:49
- To be fair, that might be smart on their part so that they don't have to fire anyone for saying offensively stupid stuff on the air. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:48 3
  - This only seems like bad news for conservatives, particularly those running for office. - Mop Jun 26, 09:50 2
    - The smart ones will issue a down-the-middle statement like Jebs. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 09:53 1
      - The real smart ones will say they don't like it, but it's time to actually strengthen all families/relationships in this nation - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:56
