I guess some people like to feel that they are oppressed.  Clearly being forced to do your job as an elected official is on par with segregation.

[itisnotlogical]

Clearly, separation of church and state means "Laws are only okay as long as they align with my religious beliefs".

[Mechatronic]

Makes sense. I don't have any religious beliefs so I don't need to follow any laws.

i have a dream, one of which the sanctity of marriage is restored by means of nobody getting a license ever

it's a decent idea

[Sirus]

Someone called the Judge who is in prison for refusing to give marriage licences to homosexual couples for religious beliefs "A modern day Marten Luther King".

Kim Davis? She's not a judge.

[EnigmaticHat]

No, she's a county clerk.  Which apparently is an elected position in Kentucky, which is why this whole thing is an *incident* instead of the words "you're fired".

Actually not a bad idea. Religious significance of marriage has precisely 0 overlap with the legal mumbo jumbo anyway.

I'm listening to the Bee Gees. It's so seventies. Possibly because my image of the seventies is heavily influenced by the Bee Gees.

[LordSlowpoke]

now persuade the hordes of irl shitposters that it won't cause them to lose their precious tax benefits and you're set for life

[Orange Wizard]

Nah, we'll just lower taxes across the board.

It's not like the government's swamped in debt or anything, it'll be fine.

[itisnotlogical]

Deus Ex: Invisible War actually runs as two applications in tandem, one which does the menus and one which actually plays the game. This is bizarre enough, but the application launches a background service that will re-open the game if it detects that both of the main executables have been closed in an unusual manner. WHY WAS THAT DEEMED NECESSARY.

[NJW2000]

... caught playing vidya games at 12:00 eh?

Nah, that's a pretty stupid function, if it means no forcequit. Which it does, right?

[Tack]

Civil unions = tax benefits anyway yeah?

So why don't we just rename civil union to "marriage", and then rename "marriage" to "religious union".
Problem solved, gay marriage legalised.

[Furtuka]

Holy shit yes!

[Bohandas]

No, hey need to rename both to civil unions.

Yes! Exactly! Thank you!
