Epic facepalm moments

And non-gays can also get married to the opposite sex. I once said in a classroom discussion that gays and non-gays have the same rights. Both of them are allowed to marry the opposite sex. To which one liberal girl said, "No. They don't have the same rights because gays don't want to marry the opposite sex." I thought that was a pretty epic facepalm moment.

However, I might get lambasted by the seemingly liberal population on this board that, for some reason, are in love with the "gay rights movement."

Spot on. A large portion of the gay community has been completely and utterly brainwashed to a almost frightening extent.

Marriage is a religious institution which government has no business dictating rules and regulations related to it. The definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. Gays whom have a problem with that definition should take it up with their church or start a new religious organization that redefines it as something else.

I think you're drinking the Kool-Aid. Show me where marriage was initially a religious institution that was usurped by the government. I've heard so many people make this argument as if its fact. Marriage has been a government institution for as long as its been a religious one. There is no definitive proof that i have ever seen that would dictate otherwise.

Polygamy was a religious institution.

When did having a Marriage license begin in America?

Girl I know: I don't like Reagan because he is responsible for sending all of the textile jobs overseas.

Me: How is a president responsible for sending the textile jobs overseas?

Girl I know: I don't know. I saw a documentary about it. John F. Kennedy started it though.

Me: So you don't like JFK then?

Girl I know: No.

Me:

Nice try, but that has nothing to do with what i'm talking about... The poster said: Marriage is a religious institution which government has no business dictating rules and regulations related to it. The poster is stating that marriage was first a religious institution before governments got involved in them.

a few of my all time greatest facepalm moments:

" But I can't get a job, they'd cut out my food stamps"
- girl I know bragging about telling this to her probation officer

"But the Iraq war was justified because Saddam had WMD's, which means that he posed a direct danger to the United States"
- guy I work with who claims to be a Libertarian

"I could never vote for Ron Paul, he's for cutting foreign aid to Israel"
- Neo Con guy I work with

"the TEA party is the greatest threat to American freedom since Vietnam"
- Democrat I work with

"well, maybe we shouldn't have went to Iraq, but since we're there we might as well finish what we started"
- same "libertarian" from earlier, after I argued with him for a little bit.

" If we hadn't dropped the bomb on Japan, we'd probably still be fighting there"
- again, same "libertarian" from earlier.

" well, Bush wasn't the best president, but at least he's not Obama"
- same "Libertarian"

" I wouldn't vote for anybody but Hillary, because then women would run the show"
- same "food stamp girl" from earlier.

"well, I don't like what the government either, but what are ou gonna do? they are the government after all"
- having an argument about constitutional abuses of power"

" well regardless of what the constitution says, the government says..."
- same guy, same argument


" well that may be what Germany was like in the 1930's, but that could never happen here, we have the constitution"
- yup, same guy, same argument

guy: " No one needs that many guns, you don't need to protect yourself, that's what the cops are for"
me: " so would YOU rob me?"
guy: no way, you've got too many guns
- guy I was arguing with over the second amendment

guy: No one but cops should be allowed to carry guns
me: why shouldn't I carry a gun
guy: because if something happens, you just need to call the cops
me: so if someone was to rob you right here, right now, how quickly would the cops be here?
- same anti second amendment guy

"If you tell a cop that they can't search your car, that gives them probable cause to search your car"

This deserves a facepalm

Not exact quotes:

"Gary Johnson is a better speaker than Ron Paul"

"Gary Johnson is more electable than Ron Paul because he's pro gay marriage, abortion and isn't a creationist"

"Ron Paul should drop out and endorse Gary Johnson"

"We need the fed to prevent economic bubbles"
