If you're accusing me of oppression because I don't want to spend money on
same-sex couples, you're making a big fool out of yourself. By your logic, I
control most of the world, because I don't finance most of it. Yippee me.

Why should anyone care what I want? Because I'm a citizen (not of the US,
but kde-cafe is still international, isn't it?). Apparently I'm a mullah for
not giving money to people, but meanwhile you're defending measures that
would force money away from me while telling me my opinion is irrelevant.
Now who's trying to control whom?

See my reply to Seth.

Still, how is Bush hypocrisy relevant in a discussion on gay marriage? Stick
to the issue at hand and don't try to spread your hatred every chance you
get. One week you're saying he's just a neocon puppet, the next week you
ramble what a bad hypocrite he is. If you insist on bringing off-topic
hatred into topics, at least make up your mind what it is you hate.
