Plus she only sued for her medical expenses and loss of earnings.

So many people need to understand this

Someone asked me why I WASN'T opposed to gay marriage because in their minds it diminished my het marriage. I just asked 'how so?' and watched then struggle. This is so silly. A modern relationship is about two people deciding to spend life together because it's easier than being alone and hopefully because they love each other, but in my mind that's optional. Marriage means taking responsibility for the well being of your spouse and making a commitment to each other to care for each other and help each other out. That's it. Another couple marrying has no impact whatsoever on my marriage and vice versa. Marriage is only between those married to each other

I'm the victim because I can't stop people I don't like from doing something that doesn't affect me.

Equal rights are not a pie. You don't get less because other people get more.

Being against something and legislating against something that has absolutely nothing to do with you or your life is giving someone else the right to legislate against YOU, make no mistake. Limiting freedoms will eventually limit you, too.

SOOOO many people 'looking at someone else's plate' (ie you don't like what they're eating so want to stop them eating food they like) Just because they do something you don't want to do does NOT mean you will be forced to do it too. FS!!

LITERALLY like giving one group the same rights as you... DOESNT TAKE YOURS AWAY.

This…if you’re free to practice Christianity, then the rest of us are free to practice whatever religion we choose…or choose NOT to practice.m, including Atheism.

Likewise, the right to free speech does not give you the right to cause hurt or harm with your speech.

I was raised in a rural community that held a libertarian attitude for the most part. As long as you weren't hurting humans or animals, no one cared what you did on your own private property.

It’s not a pie chart!! It’s more of an achievement board, getting a new achievement doesnt delete your old ones, but adds to your XP.

I wish I knew why some people feel so threatened by something that is frankly none of their business

A friend's dad said if straight people got to suffer, why shouldn't gay people? Suffering is for everyone! In his own way, he was showing his support for his brother-in-law.

I agreee and there are a couple other issues like this. I am too busy to interfere in a stranger's. life

This reminds me of something I say to my niece when she gets mad that someone else got something she didn't; "Someone else's good fortune in no way makes your life worse." I know it's not quite the same thing but, in the same wheelhouse.

👏

it's the same as trans rights. like, I just want to pee, Karen. you and your crotch goblin child are safe from me.

People seem to think that rights are like a pie - if I give you a slice then I have less.

Like how Christianity is forcing women in poverty to have no choices but give birth unwanted children and addicts and mental issues that a mother day have the Christians don't care. Facists

100% ! If someone else's marriage affects yours, then you're doing it wrong.

But if more people have more rights than that takes away my right to oppress them and treat them like sh*t. Liking giving African Americans rights meant that they could no longer be slaves and all those poor plantation owners had to start paying (but not really paying) people to work their land!! Don't you understand how much white people suffer when minorities can't be treated like second class citizens, or even just property! (/s, in case it wasn't clear).

`Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences`

Last line is pretty much true of human nature in general.

People always set in their own mind that if they're rights are okay, then that's the only way everybody else should be. Anything that differs against that is "wrong" or infringing on their rights in some way.

Because it's wrong, their is a reason it takes a man and woman to make a baby. Their is a reason why they have to different skills. Because God above wanted men and women to marry each other. I also believe no one is actually truly gay, they are either trying to get attention or have been told that they are gay or forced to be gay that's it. Go ahead down vote but if you do post a legit reason why I'm wrong. Also I don't support gay harassment but just saying you don't agree with them isn't harassment because my God says to love everyone.

mmm this isn't entirely accurate though, by making a rule that all drugs are now legal, just because you personally still don't have to do drugs, doesn't mean you're life won't be affected by the amount of druggies that are now around. everyone is free to make their own choice, legal or illegal lol, but our choices still affect everyone around us, whether we mean to or not. i'm not saying i don't support gay marriage before anyone makes it about that, I'm just saying this isn't really a real fact

Its not a 'women over 40 issue'. It's an every demographic issue. When I go out without the kids I get asked if my husband is 'babysitting' or I get asked 'who?' is babysitting. The question is posed by young women, old women, middle aged women, young men, old men and middle aged men alike. When I reply that yes, my husband is at home PARENTING his children they usually reply how "lucky" I am.

Poison ivy is natural but I'm not going to rub it all over my body. Natural can be dangerous too.

Yes. So sick of the loud social media idiots who think it does.

THIS. I'm a little socially awkward sometimes but I'm not shy. Just because I'm laughing, cracking jokes and entertaining the group for 30 minutes doesn't mean I'm some kind of extrovert that wants to go out every weekend and socialize....Let me recharge dammit!

"Depression isn't real. There's nothing wrong with people who are depressed. They just want attention." -my mother to me whenever I try to explain my actual diagnosed depression

It's the sexism <3

Just makes you an honest a**hole

Wish I could upvote this more. I see this written into films etc. Seems more of an issue in the USA.

Louder for the antivaxxers

Still there's sadly a growing crowd that treats science like religion and get really angry if you dispute anything that's 'scientifically proven' even when the last study is from the 70s and newer knowledge makes it very likely it might be obsolete and needs retesting or there was already an attempt to recreate the study that failed. One study can't 'prove' anything. It takes at least several studies to show if something is valid or not. One study with 30 participants is not statistically relevant and cannot make predictions for the whole world.
