> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > What’s all this about complaining about something that hasn’t happened yet, then? 😉 i’m complaining about their stating that they _will do_ these things. You’re complaining about something that no one is claiming they will do. If you’d like to point to an AZ law enforcement official saying that he will harass people, then we have an analogy. Otherwise, no, we don’t. ---

You think gays shouldn’t be allowed to marry because it pisses you off. I have to assume that’s the case, because you’ve never really stated why else they shouldn’t be able to. ---

We’ve been posting on the same board for almost 6 years you stupid asshat. Therefore it’s a safe bet that I already know your a whiny dolt who likes to cry “RACISM”. Right? Right. So, what purpose does it serve to post more of the same? To show that you’re whinier? Doltier? In even more need of a good “WHHAAAAAAAA”? And let me suggest you look up “ad hominem”. And no, it’s not an advertisement for a new brand of grits. ---

magellan, there’s nothing you can say now to convince people you’re not a bigot, because everything you’ve ever said has convinced them that you are. Live with it. Also, I don’t think it’s necessary to bold pet names and other terms of endearment. ---
