I hate all soft drinks. How about a scotch and water?

Gay marriage is legal up here in Canada. Most churches, but not all, will not marry same sex couples and they do have that freedom to refuse. Same sex couples do have the same rights as any other couple to a civil marriage. And why should they not?

I really like this letter. Bravo!

Yep, I was flipping between the Canadian news shows and they kept promising to put Obama on and then I became impatient and started flipping on various American networks until I landed on a speech giver but this was McCain, not Obama! That was how I missed the Obama speech. And, by the way, I like your attitude. It is a very healthy, very positive one.

Bwahahaha! Good comment!

Hmmm.... I am getting pretty old. I might soon need others to do the remembering for me. Thanks, Jack.

Unfortunately, I missed Obama's speech but McCain's speech was, I thought, very graceful.

It seems to me that Obama's so-called "socialism" embodies the ideals taught by Christ. I would think that all Christians should be very pleased that Obama has won this race. He is a man who has both intelligence and class; he will make a fine President.

Congratulations on your brand new President, folks.

Yep, and al-Qaeda supports McCain. lol

I meant no disrespect by my questions, Gadget. I was just curious is all.

I've never lived in a small town. The city in which I live has 3 million people. I think I be very nervous if I lived in a small town where everyone knew me.

Why do you need to be armed? Isn't Orange County an affluent place? Do wealthy folks run about the streets firing on folks when they don't get their way? Do you have a Vote McCain sticker on your vehicle?

Thanks, Jack. How does one get to be an elector? Are the electors elected? Are they paid for their work or is their job a voluntary one?

It sounds very strange but then all systems are kind of weird. French elections seem to take weeks as they have run-off votes after some of the candidates are disqualified. And here in Canada you have to vote for your local representative (member of parliament) if you want to see a specific leader (Prime Minister) become elected.

Thanks for answering my question. Now, about that electoral college.... I never did figure that one out! Who are these collegians and why do they get to say who is the president and not you, the voters?

When will you know who won?

Not a chicken, just concerned about your continuing comfort and perhaps survival in your own community. I used to be active on an atheist website and many members who live in the Bible Belt stated that they were in the closet about their lack of belief when dealing with members of their own communities. Some of them didn't even talk about it with family members. They felt that social and business relationships would be damaged, you see.

That is truly revolting! I can understand your hesitation in posting it.

It would be nice to see that cracker eat his words but all I can see him eating is prescription pain meds. lol

I think marriages can be very elastic and can accomodate a great variety of behaviour; it all depends on what suits the main participants. It is true that my own sexually adventurous behaviour took place during my single years. I am one of those who doesn't like to share my mate. And by the point that I had met my present mate, I had done enough sexual adventuring to last me a lifetime.... And of course now I am an old fart.

It sounds to me like you are a prude. A wide range of topics are discussed on this site besides the band. You chose to stay on this thread even though the subject is mentioned in the title and now you are offended; this was your own choice, not anyone else's.

Vancouver is a great city.

You raise a good point.

:cool2: :eek: :tt2: Plain - Thanks for the vote of confidence for being the unifying factor. One of my gf's and I laugh that we're going to be Prez/VP one day. For example, "when we're Prez, we're going to deport Celine Dion." :tongue: Oh, no! That means we Canucks will get Celine back!! Ugh!!!
