This marriage mess was decided in 1967 with the Loving vs. The State of Virginia.

The decision was written in terms of a person's constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness and that includes the person's choice of the person they will marry. Period. This put an end to state by state laws on marriage.

I am loving this weather!

What is on my mind? I am smiling and thinking about how peaceful my day has been and how much it filled my heart to see kids so excited for this weekend.

I am hoping that my friends who have not been feeling well are feeling better and of course I am floating in my daydreams and ideas :)

Get your company to buy a nap pod!

Absolutely fantastic.

a little bit hurt and sad but that's ook i'll get over it :(

TheMerryFairy 03-30-2013 10:26 AM

How nice it feels to have friends who can help make sense of everything *S - tattoo designs included, for example.

I am thinking about everything at once - life, traveling, appointments, business details, the weekend, potential creative patterns for next week, etc. but my mind is really calm. I like this feeling.

Of course, now and then that all gets overrided and all I can think about is how delicious this food is going to taste.

Trev 03-30-2013 11:25 AM

An upcoming trip for work. The other 4 that have to go in the alternate weeks are dreading the trip. I am looking forward to going and consider this another accomplishment. Besides who doesn't love Music City?? Banker's clothes during the day, cowboy boots n Levi's at night :fastdraq:

TheMerryFairy 03-30-2013 11:26 AM

I want a movie day! I think I will run out to get some snacks and have one :)

PISSED
 
I am so livid right now due to the opening sentence in an article I am supposed to read for class

"When cousins do more than kiss"
by Anthony Layng
"NOW THAT same sex marriage increasingly is becoming acceptable in the U.S., might not incestuous marriage be next? Both have been condemned by legal sanctions and religious beliefs. However, since these are subject to change, what is to prevent first cousin marriage from gaining popularity?"

I sent a message to my professor stating it's offensive, insensitive, prejudice and verging on hate speech and I am considering reporting her to the board at my college for allowing such an article to be a required reading.

ANY THOUGHTS?

Is this the professor's writing, or are you reading articles of all different viewpoints? I think that's part of college; exposure to opinions you don't like or find reprehensible.

Many books have been protested or banned at some point, but are still studied even in high schools or younger.

I know it was hard to read, but perhaps that's the point-to enrage and discuss. If we read only what we agreed with, didn't make us think, and didn't rile up emotions, that's not really worth the cost of the course.

Well I guess it bothers me because it was completely unnecessary for the point of the article. the topic is kinship and the entire article was about marrying within the family/incest, and when the comparison is made between same-sex marriage and incest with no further discussion on the former topic, I think its bordering on prejudice to include such a biases comparison.
I fully believe in freedom of speech but I also believe in my own freedom to report my feelings about it, if I choose to.
Its something I have to think very hard about I agree with you and definitely like things that open my mind and make me uncomfortable.
I am torn and angry. need to pause. thanks for your reply

TheMerryFairy 03-30-2013 04:09 PM

Butterscotch meringue pie fresh from the bakery, daydreams, childhood memories, my walk through the park and how lucky I am!

What else is on my mind? *breathes in* I am happy and on my way to living my dreams.

kittygrrl 03-30-2013 04:23 PM

i read somewhere that someone was done.......and while it fine to feel you are done (with a task or whatever)..the universe usually has other ideas..good ones hopefully:hk11:

I'm with you, KC. It's infuriating, the excerpt you posted.

It's also an irresponsible use of logic to forward an argument.

Sometimes A=B and B=C so A=C on a certain mathematical level but it's invalid to apply that algorhythm to human situations.

Equating gay marriage to incest or bestiality just because they all have in common, having been or being illegal in one system at one time in history is irresponsible.

On my mind...
 
It's a beautiful, beautiful day here & it's got me thinking about.....

Picnic's, warm & soft sunshine, the smell of grass & blooming flowers, the birds singing distant & muted in the background, naked skin warm from the sun & making sweet love on a blanket outside, kisses that make your toes curl, contentment & satisfaction.

Yep, that's what's on my mind.

TheMerryFairy 03-31-2013 12:47 PM

How lucky I am to be surrounded by generosity and friendship. I am having a wonderful day and I hope you are all having a great Sunday as well.

WolfyOne 03-31-2013 01:51 PM

I have 4 days off work coming up
Oh how I look forward to being away from that place
I'll probably be sad when I have to return
Although, not even my boss can take the happy out of my heart, no matter what

Bčsame* 03-31-2013 03:45 PM

Listening to the rolling thunder, waiting for the storm. This is so cool. Kinda eery being here alone as the clouds roll in. Just put on a movie, Rock of Ages, will being singing along I'm sure.

Opened the jewelry hospital, going to fix the favorite pieces :)

Hmm, had pizza delivered for Easter dinner.

girl_dee 03-31-2013 04:39 PM

Places to rent in a part of town that i love tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better than the last place i looked.

I missed so many of you.
Life is good.

While I agree that one of the purposes of higher education is exposure to opinions one might not agree with, I think the issue here is not the fact that this is a disagreeable opinion. I think it is more that this is an egregious comparison. It is, albeit in a circuitous way, linking same-sex marriage to incest. The fact that the article goes on to speak of the appropriateness of familial relationships and has NOTHING to do with same-sex marriage only highlights the point that the comparison needn't have been made at all. How is it relevant to the subject? It isn't. It is basically taking the worst of same-sex marriage opponents' talking points and misinformation and using it as a jump off point to start an article.
