I doubt it. How many people would want this service? How many people would send their cds and serials to a stranger? I'm not sure Microsoft would be to keen on it either.
You can always try, but I wouldn't expect making big bucks out of it.

What if someone personally thought it was not natural?

Well what is natural? There was a time when it was natural that women weren't allowed to vote. That black people were slaves. In some cultures it's natural that women have to cover their faces when they go outside. Is it natural for humans to eat meat? And so on. If you think homosexuality is not natural then that's your belief. I think you're wrong, but you have a right to your opinion. The problem is if you persecute others because of your/their beliefs. If you deny them their right to get married. Then you're forcing your beliefs on them. I would never want to get married to another man but that doesn't mean I want it to be illegal. Isn't that what open minded means? Even though you think it's not natural you should be open minded to their beliefs. Their beliefs don't hurt you in any way. If you think they'll go to hell because they sin, well it's their choice. Like someone else said, hate the sin but love the sinner.

Guess i couldn't stay away ;)

Yes I agree that that's being close minded. So does that mean overall i'm a close minded person? No. Everyone is close minded on certain subjects, it's not exactly a bad thing.

I agree that everyone probably is cosed minded on some level. But it is exactly a bad thing when it hurts other people. It's pretty damn bad for the kid you tease.

Okay, yea it's bigotry. If you havn't noticed yet I really don't care what you label it, it's one of the few bad things I have a problem with, I don't know why your debating over it.

Bigotry can be a very, very bad thing. But at least knowing that you have a problem is the first step to solving it. And now I'm bored. And it's true that we won't get anywhere with the debate. So unless something majorly interesting comes up that I just have to reply to then I'll end it here and let you have the last word.

Basically Snick... he was basically saying the two of you need to cool off.. the thing is it's obvious you guys aren't going to change each other's minds..

I'm extremely cool. I think Alias has a tendency to take things way too personally. But as long as there's something to talk about then I'll keep talking. Unless a mod directly says to stop or closes the subject. I know I'm not going to change Alias's opinion, but I think I have the right to state mine and to keep doing it and I don't think I've been out of line so far. Basically, as long as we're being civilized then I don't think there's any need for a mod to interfere. Debate is healthy.

And I'm saying that science is a bad excuse for proving the Bible wrong. I'm not close minded, face it.

Okay. But you didn't address what I said. Using the bible as an excuse for bigotry is closed minded. Do you agree?

I have a question though. How can we have beliefs, if everyone who had one is close minded? My belief says that homosexuality is wrong, that instantly makes me close minded. Doesn't that go for the same as everyone else? Or am I just special? LOL

You can believe that homosexuality is wrong. That's your belief. Teasing a kid who has homosexual parents, that's bigotry.

Wow... I love how you guys both just ignore Frizzle...

I feel that I'm having a mature debate, on my side at least. And so what if our opinions don't matter to each other? They obviously matter enough for us to keep talking. This topic is pretty much dead anyway, so what is the harm that it's offshooting a little? If the mods feel that it's wrong then they can close it. This is a debate about gay marriage, I think religion and bigotry and beliefs are quite relevant. It's more interesting than having 20 people say "I think gay marriage is ok".
