The unfairness of it all
Booty: Did you hear the news? Gay marriage is LEGAL now so now NO MEN AND WOMEN CAN BE MARRIED BECAUSE MARRIAGE IS RUINED FOREVER. I heard that if you try and marry somebody of the opposite sex the Obama Death Panels just give you a gay lover and make you have sex with them right there
Me: Yeah, dude, I felt the foundation of all that I was raised on ROCKED. My identity crumbled into tiny pieces last night. I'm still dusting. It's HORRIBLE.
Booty: Yeah this makes my parents' marriage so totally irrelevant... doesn't mean SHIT now...

Booty: Ugh, this is such a disaster! I hate when courts contradict public opinion when public opinion favors unconstitutional things like segregation and discrimination!

Booty: I mean, I love Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party and I'm ALL ABOUT the Constitution, but I mean... people should do the things in the Constitution if I don't agree with them!
Me: The Constitution is just a piece of paper anyway, we should all just be following The Bible. Because that's a BOOK.
Booty: Our country was founded on people immigrating here and wiping out natives, not people immigrating here after the natives were wiped out and then acting like they wiped out natives themselves. Those people should find their own countries with natives to wipe out. ahahahahaa OK, I lost it at the BOOK thing
