DOMA & My Perspective

So I haven't really given any personal thoughts on this new phenomenon: DOMA being killed by the supreme court.

First off, I hope no one gets offended about my thoughts, remember everyone has a right of speech and if you don't agree with it, then you shouldn't exercise your right. There's no possible way that a contradiction can exist in your views. It just shows your indecisiveness and your hypocrisy. Change of hearts or minds in this case may happen, but you can never stand middle ground.

I've seen religious people screaming that this is the end of the world because of the decision.
I honestly see no difference in history.
People have said we are in the age of technology, however we still can't assure equal rights...
If you ever try to do something against someone's rights, then you shouldn't have you rights either.
Who are you to take other rights away that don't belong to you? The decision is theirs, not yours. If you decide something then exercise it by SHOWING the difference in your actions.
An example? Don't like gay marriage? Teach your children about it, and don't marry someone of the same sex as you.. It's sad to know that your children might by biased BUT true understanding will come to those who are willing to see further from the censorship or prejudice that has been imposed on us.

Want an example of that? I come from a highly traditional catholic family who is pretty hardcore up to date.

Now I am not favoring religion or people who pursue same-sex marriage, I'm speaking in favor of rights in general.

Some time ago, women didn't have any rights. Female protesters should think about this, women, you wouldn't even be able to SPEAK if you didn't have any rights. Long ago, the 'bible' or religion dictated that women had a certain role and it was definitely NOT waving signs and condemning people to hell just because they happen to love someone of the same sex...

People seem to use the bible and religion as an excuse for the things they don't seem able to understand or tolerate. That's sad. It makes all the religious people who are truly tolerant and jesus-loving seem bad. I can assure you, not all religious people are spending half of their time condemning people to hell or at protests.

Social problems SHOULD be eliminated IF we want to make our society prosper. Why is it that men produce less every time? Sure, we've all heard of that one kid that went to Harvard at 16, but WHY CAN'T IT BE US OR SOMEONE WE KNOW? Why does everything have to be scarce? (Literature, Music, Science, etc).

Everyone deserves rights.
You can't ruin it for other people.
But I guess that's the flaw in democracy.
I'm not advocating another form of government, but sometimes when society and the masses are taken into consideration over the individual great minds are lost.

I just wanted to talk about this..
