    Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal

    Well small gene pools are bad in general because the forces of genetic drift will cause certain alleles to be lost and others to go to fixation which lowers diversity. In humans diversity is important because many genes important to immune function have a ton of different possible alleles, if...

    Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal

    Alright, when I posted that I wasn't as sure how much inbreeding depression had been studied in humans, but it seems obvious that there should be some kind of deterrence against it and that it produces a variety of health problems. But marriage =/= reproduction.

    Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal

    I think adult is an intentionally ambiguous term and does not correspond well to age because people develop at different speed and at different paces. This creates difficulty with legislating things like age of consent and the drinking age etc..

    I like the Jimmy Wales quote, that they are essentially dumping trash in the streets and testing the goodwill of others to go an pick it up.

    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I agree. And I do think Obama is extremely moderate if not a bit right leaning. As much as I do want a true liberal president, Obama is a far superior alternative to Romney. [color=#242627][font=helvetica, arial...

    Uninformed GOP Voters

    Arizona secretary of state threatening to keep Obama off the ballot on the grounds that he personally doesn't believe Obama was born in the United States. http://tpmmuckraker....?ref=fpnewsfeed And as for the Chris Matthews thing? Why is it ironic? Did Palin do better than him? Was the...

    In those specific votes I mentioned (well at least healthcare) every single Republican voted against. But what you're saying only reinforces my point. With the current state of congress, it's amazing that Obama got done what he has gotten done.

    Also, Cenk is being very disingenuous by ignoring the critical role that democrats played in passing Bush era legislation. Republicans on the other hand have been a rigid opposition, with none voting for health care reform, wall street reform, the stimulus and many other pieces of legislation.

    There were a lot of problems with Cenk's criticism. He said Obama's policies aren't working. This isn't the case. With the health care reform bill, as shitty as it was, insurance premium increases are limited, you can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions, children can stay on...

    I don't think it's biased at all. The article is directed towards liberals just as much as it is conservatives.

    Inmate Visitation Regarding Children

    I just don't find it a particularly salient topic. I could see maybe revoking their visitation rights if its for violent/sexual assault of some kind. But other than that..

    This hasn't been proven at all. Very moderately increased risk of mild birth defects, but you could still allow them to marry and adopt, or just not have kids depending on the risk factors involved.

    Pedophilia necessitates abuse. That is not something we are pushing for. Incestual marriage and potentially polygamy may be on the table though. Although polygamy has a history of encouraging abusive behaviors.
