I think that it will not be waged between North and South for state rights, but rather between Republicans and Democrats for human rights. It will happen before our 250th anniversary in 2026.

    It’s not an infringement of your rights to stop you from beating/killing people you don’t like. It’s not an infringement of your rights to allow others to do things you don’t want to do yourself. Nobody owns the “ritual” of marriage, and it’s not an infringement of anyone’s rights for another belief system of any kind (theist or not) to duplicate it.

        We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.

        The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don’t understand any other language.

        They don’t though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are “people” out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.

            So much for a rational discussion. Great showing for yourself and others with similar beliefs.

            That’s some exceptional mental gymnastics right there, keep thinking like that and you’ll go far

          No it’s not but you should be genuinely good and not down the barrel of a gun with coercion or threats.

            I’m going to guess you’re Christian. I’m also going to guess you don’t see one bit of irony with your statement.

              No I’m an atheist, if you need religion or a belief system to be a good person then you must be a terrible person.
