Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmm.. let's see. Kind of disappointed how health care hasn't changed much I guess.

Care to elaborate on that? I'd like to know in what ways Obama is promoting agendas that wreck families and/or human lives.

*achem* Hi there, I'm a lesbian biggrin Might I ask something? Lets say you had a happy family, and a mother and a father and a son, now lets say that son discovers that he is gay, and when he wants to get married, settle down and have children of his own but he isn't aloud to, so he fights just like any other parent would for that right, or a lesbian who gets pregnant and wishes to raise her child with her loving wife, but that child is ripped away from said family (only as a worse case scenario) or back to the gay boy, he can never have a child or be with the one he loves hence breaking his heart. Also what if, like what has happened many times before the gay boy and the lesbian commit suicide breaking the hearts of their family tearing them apart and causing a lot of turmoil stress and sadness? Tell me, what if a black man and a black women got married? they're the same race, so hence it must be wrong, because nothing can be the same. Unless you have some real reason behind why the gay community is a bad thing I don't think you have a solid argument, and no dear friend 'its creepy' is not an argument, and if you say its unnatural, then why is it common in animals? as well as found greatly accepted throughout all of our ancient history? And let me ask you something in closeing, if being gay is an offense and a conscious choice then tell me this. When did you decide to be straight?

I don't support or oppose abortion, sometimes its a vary hard call for a doctor, and sometimes its absolutely necessary, either the baby dies and the mother lives, or the mother dies as well as the baby, I know if I was in that situation I would simply have the baby and then put the child up for adoption so it could have a home that could support it and love it. But some people don't think that way. No ones perfect, and I may not be American but I think Obama's not doing to bad, and well no wonder so many of you hate him, in the election you all worked him up so much bigger than any one man could ever be, you should try running a nation filled with angry people.

I do not believe in abortion because it was asumed that I would've been born retarded and the doctors suggested abortion, but here I am today mentally physically fine.I'm glad I wasn't aborted

Uh, many cultures accept homosexuality because they are aware that it doesn't cause problems. There is no way that homosexuality wrecks families. As another member said, please let me know when it was that you CHOSE to be straight. You didn't. You were just attracted to the opposite sex. Think about anyone you have ever fallen in love with. Did you actively choose to love that person or did you find yourself feeling something for the person just because? I am pro-choice, but mostly for instances in which the mother's life is at stake or in cases of rape. I don't believe anyone has the right to tell a woman to carry something for 9 months which is a constant reminder that she was raped. I don't believe that sort of trauma needs to be inflicted on any woman. Also, you do realize that Obama cannot FORCE other countries to "accept the homosexual agenda", right? Of course, if by homosexual agenda you mean equal rights then, I think that's just a basic right that all people deserve, but feel free to call me crazy because of that.

I just read all of this and there are some pretty interesting comments brought up. I am not at the age to vote, but if I was I would of voted for Obama, or Hillary. One of the two. As for Obama spreading homosexual rights he has every right to do that. Love should not be challenged because of gender, race, religion, or anything. Love is love, so let it be what it is. And for abortion I read on that when he first talked about it. He never said he supported it. He was saying more of it was the womens choice. Like Jessabeth wrote who would want to be raped and then have a nine moth reminder that she was? It wouldn't be fun now would it? And I'm guessing because your a guy you probably wouldn't think of how it would be for the female going through it. It would be a living hell. Giving childbirth seems like it would be. And besides, if I was 16, all AP/Hongers classes and living a good life, and I was stupid and got myself pregnant, I wouldn't sit there growing a child in my stomach just to give it away. It would ruin my life. So with abortion I believe it should be a right that the woman can chose freely to use or not to use. Oh! And going back to homosexual rights, if you like hate it and believe it should be illegal or whatever, that's pretty much straight outstaying you are racist. Same with womans rights, like how woman get paid __% less than men working the same job is also racist. Just put it in different terms. Same with religion. I don't like how Mormons are like illegal in the united states. It's there friken religion, I feel like Cristians should be illegal to then.
So after my venting, back to Obama.
I think he is doing the best he can! With all the people who screwed up before him he is trying to get this country running up again. If McCain was president I believe he would be having just as hard of a time as Obama does with the country.
That's all. ^-^ For now....
