My Personal Opinions

So a few days ago I was reading an article on the issue of Gay Marriage, and what was going on w/ a court case out here in California. I was thinking about posting a blog about my opinions on the matter, and decided against it. Yesterday I was disgusted when I read an article about a 14 year old wanted by the cops for stabbing his 13 year old girlfriend. I thought that was bad enough until it also stated that the "couple" has a 1.5 year old daughter together. That makes her prego at 11!!!!! So today while painting my new entertainment stand, I was thinking the two topics over in my head and decided, I'm going to post a blog about both. Here it goes, and please remember this is just my opinion.

Gay Marriage doesn't really concern me, and I think more people should really mind their own business about it. The current arguement is that gays aren't recieving their full american right because they can not choose to get married. Others say that it is a moral issue, they are concerned for the children, etc etc, WAKE UP PEOPLE.... I think this is really the least of our worries as a society. You want to say that gay marriage is going to affect the moral make up of society...umm You have 11 year olds getting PREGNANT right now ...I think morals have already gone out the window. You say that its going to affect children.... really? straight people, married or not married already are f**king up our children. Where were the parents of these two teenagers that they could have sex at age 11? or that he could stab her in your own home?
This is my biggest one... how about SEPERATION of CHURCH and STATE. I want to hear one arguement on why gay marriage should not be legalized w/o anyone using any religious or moral reasoning; because would there be anything such as morals w/ out the existence of religion? If your "religion" doesn't allow gay marriage...then thats ur religions beliefs and they aren't trying to get married in your church. But your religion shouldn't be able to dictate what goes on down at the court house. That would be like a county D.A. coming and saying oh you can't be baptized, I don't think that would fly.

As for Gay Marriage/couples and children... I say go for it. I think it's great, for multiple reasons A) they are choosing to have a child, and going thru a much tougher process then just sex to achieve that goal. I think that makes it more likely for them to be good parents then the couple that got drunk, or just didn't use protection, and now are "staying together for the child". Trust me on this one, that one probably isn't going to work out too well.
B) more people in today's world need to be taught to respect others, no matter what the differences and to accept that everyone is different. I think a child raised by a same sex couple will learn those lessons everyday and be a better person for it, a more understanding, compassionate person.
C) There are so many children out there that need to find a good family to take them in, love them, and raise them. Why are you now witholding that opportunity from a deserving child just because the parents would be two people of the same sex? I don't find that to be very moral.


Now this 13 and 14 year old situation got me thinking. It is illegal for someone over the age of 18 to have sex w/ someone under the age of 16; and similarly 21 to 18. Why not just make it illegal to have sex until your 18???!???
You can't drive a car until your 16; you aren't a legal adult until the age of 18, why are you allowed to have babies under the age of 18?
Some are going to argue that there is no way to enforce that law. Well how do they enforce the laws regarding sex w/ a minor?
I think that those CHILDREN should have been required to give that baby up for adoption. And I think that the PARENTS of those CHILDREN should have been punished, and had their kids taken from them, and hopefully given to someone that can teach them not to have sex at 10 and 11 years old.
I blame society and the government on this one, along of course w/ the parents; and it all leads back to money. Everyone wants to make money, be rich, blah blah blah. And because of it, education is suffering, schools and teaching stinks. Teachers are losing jobs left and right. You cannot take away the education of children and expect our world to go anywhere in the future. I think education and learning should be where the majority of the money in this country is going. I don't think gov't officials should make six figures. As a gov't official you should be working for the people, with the people, not living a lavish lifestyle at our expense.

I had to do a project in fourth grade, stating what I would do if I was President of the United States. Of course at that age I gave everyone candy, and extended kids' bedtimes. Now, I would put a salary cap on all gov't workers so no one would make more then 100k a year, including the President. We would not be paying Presidents for the rest of their lives, or providing them w/ bodyguards. If you have to worry about assassination after leaving office, then you probably sucked as President. Welfare would be revised and become a limited time deal. Abortion would be illegal except in cases of rape, and medical emergency. Education, Education, Education!!! not to be corny but the children are our future and right now it's looking bleak from where I'm standing. Military wise, I'm not trying to be everyone's mom, other countries need to stand up for themselves. Or if we are going to be the big bad bully that keeps everyone in line, then you better start giving us lunch money cause it's not cheap and our protection isn't free. I'm tired of being in everyone else's business and trying to help out everyone else. There are enough issues going on in our own country that we need to take care of before we go helping everyone else. This needs to be a working man's world, not a rich man's world.


ok... well I think that's it for now... please feel free to comment and post your opinions. I always like a good MATURE discussion.
