Same-sex marriage coming to Utah

[Topper]

When the girls in the office raise their eyebrows over something I say I tell them, "well this will be an interesting battle of the protected classes".

If it is between females and males over fifty, you will likely lose out. Count on it. That's just practical advice, unless you are the owner of said establishment. The Golden Rule is the best rule, "he or she who has the gold makes the rules."

Apparently it's been a while since you golfed with him.

I can't tell if you are being serious or not. If you are you, must have hidden the last time we played way back in the recesses of your mind. You weren't exactly on fire.

Is that a gay slur? Figures. I did cost you some money that day, for sure. My driving was atrocious. I'm giving myself a pass, however, as that was my first round with my new clubs. I hadn't even been to the range with them.

I did not say he always scorches the earth, but it is about the only time he takes himself semi-seriously.

I have no idea. Since I am not a deep thinker I do not keep up on what is politically correct and what isn't these days. Being on fire has always been a compliment given to someone.

Is "deep thinker" going to be BYU71's new thing he drives into the ground? We can add it to the list of BYU scheduling, whether his kids use his football tickets, going on missions, the Defenders of the Faith on CB, commandment vs counsel, and the words "progressive" and "enlightened." he seems to be on a Europe kick lately, too.

More dominoes falling.

From the article:



Utah's case is doomed, because that ("traditional values") seems to be the foundation of their case. The flaw in that logic is further dissected here:

I look forward to Jacob setting us all straight.

As do we all...

Why do posters tend to treat each other like shit all the time? Is it just a function of becoming grouchy in our old ages?

There seems to be a hierarchy of personalities, with some who have achieved doctoral status looking down upon those who don't think or articulate themselves in a particular manner. This place has become much nastier than I remember earlier message board days. Much of the humor has evaporated.

I was only kidding.

The humor is still here.

I agree. If there is one thing to remember about the old CougarGuard it is that everyone was kind and respectful of one another.

I think this is a pretty cool site. Like a lot of things it was started by the cool kids and they have their own set of standards that determine if you are cool. If you aren't at their intellectually cool level, they still are pretty nice to you unless of course you get into an area where they think they need to let you know your ability to think and reason isn't up to their standards.

It is quite the opposite of the cool folks on CB who need to let you know at times you don't have the spiritual contacts they do. I think all in all it is pretty fun. Of course maybe I am not a "deep thinker" and therefor miss out on the nasty jabs that are thrown my way.

Interesting. This message board definitely has its share of mean people, however, at least for me, the vitriol is often entertaining and through it I find humor.

You're always good for a zinger. Think back to Cougartalk.

But the reason you created this place, was because you thought MW was going bezerk at people. Now, instead of one guy , we've got a dominion of people attacking people.

There seems to be a lot of malice and viciousness, with intent to malign. I read it for laughs not for malice. In fact, I know a number of the protagonists, who are nothing like their online personas. Anonymity promotes that.

Topper, you have the wrong perspective if I may be so bold. In a normal setting you wouldn't feel comfortable sending a zinger someones way. However, you shouldn't feel bad at all having to opportunity to zing back. You don't have to be nasty and question their ability to think deeply, but you can zing them and not feel quilty.
