I agree, democrats failed. Too much appeasing to the other side and too many democrats in the pockets of big business. The American people are being suckered big and the democrats lack the cajones to do stand up to rumors.

Molenir, you can't win this argument because you are wrong. Cold wrong.
Your undoing is inherent to your wording. "Gay agenda." There is no gay agenda. People who use this term obviously don't understand homosexuality, so I will define it for you.
There are 3 major types of sexuality.
The majority of people are believed to be heterosexual, though I don't have the correct numbers. Heterosexuals are ONLY attracted to the opposite sex. This often results in procreation, but some people cannot and others will no procreate.
There are some open bi-sexual people. Bisexuals can CHOOSE a partner from either gender. I suspect a large majority of the anti-"gay agenda" crowd are bisexuals since they seem to believe that homosexuality is an evil temptation. This makes total sense if you have a religious background and are bisexual, because you will definitely have sexual feelings for your same gender.
Then there are homosexuals. Homosexuals, like heterosexuals, cannot choose the gender they are sexually attracted to. This should be very easy to comprehend for heterosexuals. Statistics prove that one out of ten people are homosexual. That's a huge number. Also note that one out of three homosexuals attempt suicide during there teenage years. This terribly reduces the number of homosexual adults. I'm sure if society accepts homosexual marriage, the number of suicides will greatly be reduced, don't you agree?
Now let's talk about love and marriage. We can agree that sexual attraction leads to being in love which leads to the desire to marry someone. Agree?
As for marriage, it's very important. For example, if a man's wife suddenly falls seriously ill, the man can visit in the hospital and help make serious decisions for the woman he loves. However, if they were unmarried, the risk that he would be shut out by the family or legal red tape. This is just one of numerous examples why all people should have the right to marry. Our society is set up for the institute of marriage. Surely you are not arguing that homosexuals should deny their nature and enter loveless (and sexless) marriages with the opposite gender just to uphold current laws?
As you can see, their is no "gay agenda." Just a misunderstanding bounded with tons of denial strapped to the legs of those who wish to see homosexuals denied the right to marry the person they love.
I hope I have reached your heart with this.

I'm an Obama supporter and I am confused. Obama says this and I think it's good. But why did he pick Geithner?

This is great news. As 10 percent of our population are homosexual it's about time people have the right to marry who they love.

you people are all well meaning, but i see too much reading into what you want the other person to say so you can say what you want to say. no need to argue here. i think, fundamentally, you all agree, but some of you are not so good at wording your opinions and a bit on the edge.

I would believe that this was an attempted murder-suicide, but she couldn't go through with it and called the police in desperation.

I usually prefer to stay out of discussion that delves this deep into a void of intelligence, however if you would take the time to read the AP Impact article regarding the 1700 emails, you will find that those emails prove nothing. Please do your research and read the emails yourself.

Just my two cents.
I am hardcore anti-gun.
However, I recognize the very real problem that skipthesong illustrates with his personal story and my condolences to your great loss.
The US needs to find a way to get illegal guns off the streets permanently. While I agree that people should have the right to defend themselves, we must also acknowledge that legalizing gun sales makes it very easy for people to get guns illegally. If guns were outright banned, it would be more difficult to get guns.
I was involved in breaking up a fight last night on the train tracks. It's a luxury to live in an almost gunless society where I could feel safe to intervene in a violent conflict. (though I had my eyes looking out for blades)

Most mentally sound people would read this article, feel bad for everyone and some would say a prayer for the people hurt. It's not something to stir up drama over.

Please don't use this horrible mass murder as a springboard for anti-Huckabee talk.
Look, I am as liberal as you can get. Blaming Huckabee for this is not only idiotic but immature.

I would say "no" because these cultures have been doing just fine in the same world for hundreds and hundreds of years.
However, in modern times extremist, militant Islam is clashing with not only the Western world, but with the normal Islamic world as well. It's very important to recognize the distinction between extreme militant Islam and normal Islam. Otherwise we will be ignorant and have dumb polls like this.
