@freedomfreak: I have found memories of slugging it out with forzagearsforce over xbox 360 vs. ps3.
psx_warrior's forum posts
Charizard probably is snacking on popcorn while we duke it out over the pros and cons of same sex marriage and the Constitutionality of the FED, or maybe not based on Charizard's last post.

True, it does not have any legal power, but it's not an artifact. Things have gotten so out of control in this country that maybe we need to look at the Declaration of Independence again. It was written to describe what must happen when a government gets so out of control that they think they can do whatever they want. Go and read what the Constitution says about our money. Does it say print dollars anywhere for our currency? Of course not. Another thing is read the 12th Amendment. Does it say any Presidential hopeful can pick their running mate to be Vice President if they are elected? No, it does not. Also, the 16th Amendment did absolutely nothing to repeal Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution. Clearly, the Constitution is not really the law of the land. In truth, the big banks are in charge of our currency.
As far as what this has to do with marriage, gay or straight, there would not even be any debates on marriage at all as it would be a family and/ or church affair if government just stayed out of it. If you really believe that gay people should have the freedom to marry, than it should be left to them to make the marriage contract. This way everybody's happy. Same sex couples could say they are married, and people like me could just not recognize them as such without it really affecting them or myself in any way. The way it is now, there are two sides fighting over the matter because the government has made it its business to regulate what really is a private affair.
You wrote that with a straight face and meant every word and you couldn't fucking google that article one, section 10 of the constitution prohibits states from making currency, not the fed, while The 16th amendment has to do with taxes? You're on the internet, something that has google, and still posted something objectively false. That's like failing an open book exam.
I'm going to take back the post that I made and apologize to you, because I stumbled onto some information that I had absolute no clue about until just a few minutes ago while googling the Federal Reserve. I will say that I only brought up Article 1, Section 10 because it said only gold and silver, not dollars, and that's why the FED should only be issuing gold and silver coin instead of dollars, but I need to do more research on the establishment of the FED.
Going back to the gold standard is a terrible idea. The Fed is doing fine as it is and without QE and purposely de-valuing the currency during the recession it would have been much, much, worse. It is also apolitical and Congress has no power over it allowing the Fed to be above the partisan crap that plagues Washington. There's other reasons why paper money is better than the gold standard but that's not the thread for this.

Nintendo, almost in conjunction with SCOTUS, has just opened up a new can of worms. It's all down hill from here boys and girls. I realize that other games have introduced gay people into their games, but Nintendo games are meant to be played by families, with a father, mother, and 2.5 kids, not two fathers, or two mothers, and 2.5 kids. It's just all down hill from here.
I really don't have a problem with gay people doing whatever they want to do with each other. I really don't. They have the freedom in this country to live however they want, but when they start demanding the rights to marriage that God never gave to them, than there's a problem, because marriage is not an institution created by the state. It was created by God and given to men and women for each other to create a stable family unit. The legalizing of something that God has not sanctioned threatens the very foundation of this society.
I wish the government had never gotten involved in the marriage business, or we may not be having this discussion. Granted, Nintendo probably would have introduced the possibility into Fire Emblem Fate anyway, and that would have stirred up controversy, but at least same sex marriage would not have been an issue at all.
Come on, man. You say you don't have a problem with gay people but you're okay with denying them the same basic rights that straight people get? That doesn't sound like you have no problem with them. And religion has existed way before Christianity, a ten second Google search should tell you that. "Marriage" in the context of the US government is a legal contract providing certain benefits that churches aren't even involved in - you can get your marriage license before even having a ceremony at church. What's stopping you from getting a symbolic marriage without the government? Absolutely nothing.
The FED is doing fine? WTF are you smoking??? How long do you think they can keep those interest rates at before they can raise them again? What will happen when the FED decides to raise them? How high is our national debt gonna be allowed to go before the day comes when we are told that the national debt is no longer serviceable? Even if we can just keep on going into the hundreds of trillions of dollars of debt because the FED can just print as much as it needs to, what will that do to our economy inflation wise? Most importantly, how much longer before this thread is locked lol?
@Maroxad: I did say that I realized other games had it, but I never expected Nintendo to embrace it.

@JangoWuzHere: I did. @Aljosa23 The Constitution protects their right to do whatever they want behind closed doors, but it does not protect the imaginary right of the lgbt community to get married to each other when no such right exists in the first place.
The Decleration of Independence says this.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Notice where it says Nature's God in the first paragraph. It says again in the next paragraph they are endowed by their Creator with these rights. If you want to follow our founding documents, and the SCOTUS wants to follow our founding documents, than they need to repeal immediately this decicion, because in Romans 1: 26 and 27, For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Obviously, this is not what our Constitution protects.
@charizard1605: Well, I'm trying to say how I feel without coming off as really hateful. I won't play around and say I believe it's ok when I don't, but at the same time I'm not gonna say anything really mean or nasty toward them on gamespot and risk getting myself moderated.

@psx_warrior: God almost certainly doesn't exist and even if he does he doesn't care about gays. Your only word on that is a work of fiction.
I've said my peace, and that's all I'm gonna say about it.
