"You're not married so you wouldn't understand that when gays marry, it ruins our marriage." -- nm - Inigo Sep 21, 11:16 9
- It has moments, but I agree that it's clearly a weak sister of The Office. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 11:20 7
  - Parks and Recreation is the cousin with Down Syndrome. nm - Dignan Sep 21, 11:23 5
    - Speaking of Down's Syndrome... - Danonormal Activity Sep 21, 11:26 3
      - hee! -- nm - kelly Sep 21, 11:35
      - L3 :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 11:30
      - *laughing* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 11:27
    - Wait, I thought I was in the Community thread. Disregard. nm - Dignan Sep 21, 11:25
  - "I've seen so many guys from City Hall here. That's crazy. ... of course, they've seen me here." -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 11:23
- That was a pretty strong storyline. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 11:17
I'm impressed that 8% of the people in Iowa are gay, clergy or Human Resources. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 11:08 3
- I'm impressed that 85% of those 8% are all three. nm - Dignan Sep 21, 11:10
- Their hetero marriages have been adversely affected. - Don Homer Sep 21, 11:09 1

- I wouldn't say it makes complete sense, but in that sense it doesn't completely contradict itself. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 11:14
- Sure, but I wonder how many people who support a ban, are vehemently protesting "big government" running their lives - znufrii Sep 21, 11:11 18
  - how... did you get... from there.... all the way over there? (do you know how to tesseract?!) -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 11:12 17
    - It makes perfect sense. If you are against government running your life, why would you be for government running someone else's? -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 11:18 16
      - i understand that. it has almost nothing to do with the original point he made though. - TFox Sep 21, 11:20 4
        
        Morally objecting to gay marriage and wanting Government to ban it WHILE decrying Big Government, is Hypocrisy of the First Order. - TWuG Sep 21, 11:38
        
        It's called a "tangent" - znufrii Sep 21, 11:23 2
        
        or it could be that (as previously noted) rather than admit the article says nothing, you opted for the usual "ignore that. look over here now!" -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 11:26 1
        
        except that wasn't the point ML was making. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 11:28
      - I think he does this on purpose to make me feel like I'm talking out of my ass. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 11:19 10
        
        You are lumping together two different populations of people -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 11:31 1
        
        I would love to hear a case made that the two populations *don't* overlap substantially. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 11:43
        
        i'm just saying, here's point one: "people unsure about this gay marrying shit, while admitting it has little impact on them." - TFox Sep 21, 11:22
        
        Jim Carrey gets embarassed by how much you talk out of your ass. -- nm - Inigo Sep 21, 11:22 4
        
        he should be too busy being embarassed by his own acting career. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 11:26 2
        
        on top of his bed made of money next to his crazy wife? -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 11:30 1
        
        Could I have a hot slice of that shame, please? (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 11:49
        
        I award this post 5 moose points. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 11:26
        
        You normally are, so it might just be a gut reaction for TFox -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 11:20
        
        it's easier to just start with that assumption and correct in the rare case it's wrong. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 11:20
- i was going to say, were a bunch of them thinking that it was going to fundamentally alter their day to day? -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 11:08
