Thanks folks

American gun laws: Need similar restrictions to what we have in the UK.

The Myth of 2012: It's all bullshit.

21st Century Nazis: All religion is bullshit, that one is just crazier than most.

Gay Marriage Debate: Don't mind, but would vote in favour of it just to get it out of the way so more important things can be discussed in parliament.

Bar the last one, they're basically my points

[flowwolf]

Bar the last one. Don't even see why it merits a debate in the first place it means nothing to anyone except the homosexuals or relidgious people and happily I'm neither.

You are such an idiot it pains me.

[flowwolf]

Ok so could you please explain to me why Homosexuals want to go through a religious ceremony like marrage when in fact all religions reject homosexuality as a mortal sin ? Why on earth would a homosexual want to be part of that out dated backward mumbo jumbo idiocy ?

American gun laws: No idea, needs to be stricter obviously but these massacres appear to have been committed by people who wouldnt get guns anyway apart from the Korean at VT.

21st Century Nazis: All religion is bullshit, that one is just crazier than most. - Yep, think Nazis is the wrong term as well, they are nothing like Nazi's in any way shape or form.

Gay Marriage Debate: Not even bothering to discuss it, couldn't care less and think we have far more important things to worry about, like FW says why on earth would any gay man want to get married in a church, it's like me wanting to be able to go and have a few beers in the local Mosque.

Here's why.

If you want to treat all citizens fair & equally, it requires that they have access to institutions that the government recognises. If marriage was simply a religious institution, which ultimately it is not, then that's a different matter. But if we're talking about access to public resources, access to rights and privileges that is conferred through this institution, then we must stand for the fair and equal treatment in every possible way.

The government recognises marriage because marriage is an agreement between two people to become related by law. The state recognises legal ties between family members for numerous reasons, such as legal responsibility, medical responsibility or financial responsibility.

How can you, or anybody else, deny certain citizens these rights & privileges simply because of their sexual orientation?

They have all of that with the civil partnership cerimony. So if you are saying Homosexuals just want to use a reigious cerimony to gain access to the list you have given then the civil partnership proves you wrong.

As I said why would you want to take part in a religious cerimony when that religion says you are a sinner, in fact why would a religion that states that even contimplate marrying you ? Homosexuals should be happy they have got the same legal rights as all the rest of society and stick two fingers up to organised religion and expose it for the idiocy that it is. By shouting from the roof tops that they want to get married in a church they are endorsing this outdated disgusting thought control machine , after all most of society no longer gives a shit about religion.

[ADK]

People just want the same legal rights as others.

THEY DO HAVE !

[Guest MattP]

If this has taught me the anything it's that gay folk are probably still bitches and political points carry much more weight when scrawled on the flesh of a naked woman.

[FuriousFox46]

THEY DO HAVE !

Gays can't get married. Not equal rights. Use your head, mate

I see UKIP already have one vote.

Use yours. I will have to say it again marrage is a religious institution. All religions reject homosexuality as sinful that is their democratic right and they are the rules by which they stand. There is nothing you can do to change that. But when will you answer me as to why homosexuals whish to take part in a religious cerimony that says such rediculous things about fellow human beings.

Stand up for what you are, reject them they are the idiots not you. Why do they need the approval of religion ? standing in a church no more makes you a holy person than standing in a garage makes you a mechanic. Oh and by the way since when has life been equal , grow up.

Ah this debate again it's like August 2012 all over again.

Just to clarify not all religions disapprove of a bit of homo loving, admittedly most of the big ones do, but there are some Christian denominations that would happily perform and bless gay marriage, so why should they be prevented from doing so by the law.

The solution is simple, take the legal side out of it and let each individuat church decide, it is not for religion to dictate policy and it is not for the state to impose and enforce religious dogma.

Civil partnerships will become marriages and can be performed anywhere and by anyone at their discretion. So what I'm saying is there is no law on it, if a church wants to perform a gay marriage it can, if it doesn't then they are under no legal obligation to do so.

...but this is not really about gay rights, it is about political point scoring, about re-branding the conservative party away from the traditional view of rich, bigoted and out of touch. Unfortunately by doing so has exposed all of those that are bigoted.

...it also serves as a great distraction to real issues and one the government believe they will win and gain support for, and the more protracted and divisive the debate, the more hard fought the victory then the greater they will appear when the succeed. There was no great clamour from the gay community to get this changed, but now it is being debated they, rightly, would see it is a step backwards if not passed. As usual this is a political problem of the governments own making, and deliberately so, it grabs headlines and creates debate and distracts from the real issues.

[Rincewind]

I agree. There is nothing to say you cannot form your own religion. One more God on top of the 2000 around won't make much difference. I'm sure the Romans or Greeks would have had a God for gays.

I agree that is more political than anything.

I know plenty of straight people that were married in church whor were not church goers or particular religious but were still allowed to marry by the church. I am sure some church leader will one day that he had a message from God that it is OK for homosexuals to marry then a few believers will come out of the closet.

Kentucky Boy 5, Accidentally Shoots Sister Caroline Starks, 2, With Rifle He Received As A Gift

A five-year-old boy accidentally shot dead his two-year-old sister as he played with a .22-caliber rifle he had received as a gift.

The little girl was shot on Tuesday afternoon in Kentucky’s Cumberland County, state police said.

Identifying the girl as Caroline Starks, Coroner Gary White told the Lexington Herald-Leader the boy had received the gun as a gift last year.

Coroner Gary White says the weapon used was a 'Crickett'

He said: “It’s a Crickett. It’s a little rifle for a kid. The little boy’s used to shooting the little gun.â€

Describing the shooting as “just one of those crazy accidentsâ€, White revealed the gun had been kept in the corner of the home and that the family did not realise a shell had been left in it.

The Associated Press reports an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

Retailer Crickett prides itself on selling “quality firearms for America’s youthâ€.

The website’s “Kid’s Corner†features pictures of children holding rifles from the range, including babies in fatigues and cowboy outfits with guns resting in their laps.

The Huffington Post UK has sought comment from Crickett.

In December we reported there had been a rush on guns and ammunitions in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shootings.

In particular the AR-15 style-rifle, the weapon used by Adam Lanza, proved particularly popular as a Christmas gift.
