Marion, you didn’t address my question about divorce? I believe the Bible says men and woman should not divorce unless there is infidelity involved. Even then, divorce shouldn’t be an absolute. What happened to your vows “till death do us part”? What does that teach your children about love, committment, family? I think you should worry about the impact of your actions such as the divorce in of itself and the fight with your husband for “your spousal”, versus worrying about whether gay men or gay women want to marry each other. What about sex outside of marriage? What does it teach your children if you’re bringing different men home who are not their father and if you’re having sexual relations with these men? What if your children walk in on you? Should we force you to wear the badge of shame in the form of a scarlet A? Do you see how easy it is to judge others?
My issue with being against gay marriage is akin to what others have argued about discrminating based on race, sex, sexual preference, height, etc. How does gay marriage affect you? Really, it shouldn’t if you have your own house in order.
If the argument against gay marriage is only that its “wrong, unnatural, not normal” then how would the same person making that argument feel if people started judging their lives based on that criteria? Say because they are fat or obese? What if the government decided fat people would not have the same rights as the rest of the population because obesity is unhealty and it sends the “wrong message” to our children?
What about home schooling children? Its certainly not the “norm” to home school your kids. Are we against gay marriage because we’re afraid then we might allow them to have kids? How about those on welfare who have children? Should people who can’t care for themselves bring children into this world? Is it moral that those on welfare don’t have just 1 kid, but may have 6 or 8 kids and the more kids they have, the more we give them in benefits? Should we sterilize them? Is it ok for single unmarried people to have children? So if I’m a straight single woman, its ok for me to have a kid outside of marriage (gosh that means I’m having premarital sex and must be a whore), but not if its a gay committed couple? What about a single straight man, should he be allowed to raise a kid on his own?
I think governmental intervention is a slippery slope where you can find arguments for greater intervention and areas for less. Government “regulation” of societal norms I’m afraid is a neccessary evil. My issue is when the intervention lack parity because of sex or religion. Isn’t the issue of gay marriage really about religion? Didnt we decide eons ago to separate church and state? This lack parity already occurs in many forms in our society and legislation, but doesn’t mean we should support further perpetuation of inequality.
zzzParticipantmarion- “I don’t think it sends the right message to today’s youth.”
What kind of message does divorce send to children? I think asianautica hit it on the head – ban divorce if this is about family values and the “sanctity” of marriage.

zzzParticipantFIRE HER! I can’t believe you’d even consider sticking with her. What work has she done? She can’t even fax you terms. She hung up on you? She’s not a professional and she can’t even do the fundamentals of her job. Why on earth would you trust her with your finances and a loan that affects you for years to come. RUN!!

zzzParticipantnybuyer, When you move out here, will you still be looking for a bit of the city scene and pace, or completely shift gears and be a flip flop, tshirt wearing surfer dude eating fish tacos? If you still desire the nicer restaurants, an occasional night out on the town, indulging in fine arts, I don’t think Oceanside or Chula Vista would suit you. RSF would be like the Greenwich of the San Diego area. La Jolla would be a Great Neck. Living in Oceanside or Chula Vista would be like moving from the city to Newark, Secaucus, Yonkers….places you’d likely not consider.
Based on what you said about wanting the newer homes, the nice thing about the La Costa area (South Carlsbad) is that its a great neighborhood of professionals, retirees, families. There’s a mix of slightly older but very nice homes, plus there are a number of new developments in the La Costa Greens area I believe. Its in your price range, its a reasonable drive to Orange County if you wanted to go for dinner, and its also not too far from the ocean and Del Mar / La Jolla where there is also some nightlife and good restaurants. Its about a 30 minute drive to Hillcrest/Mission Hills where there are also a number of good eateries, wine bars.
If you are an aspiring golfer, there are in my opinion, better and more public courses in north county worth playing versus the downtown area/east county.
