How can you be so sure about what "you" will ever allow or not? Are you in such a powerful or knowledgable position to judge? Kings have found themselves beheaded as they deemed only their very individual sentiments valid. |
This is the will of Georgian nation and if anybody, doesn't care who ,dares to go against Our will,in Our own Country,will be deported from this place ,in the best case for him of course..
I'm not talking only about gay marriage now ,guests who visit Our Country must respect Our religion, traditions and Our people's will
In the other case,they aren't welcomed here... |
How do you think gay people should be deported? Deportation usually implies being arrested first, then taken on a train trolly (like cattle) before being transported somwhere against one's will. A bit like the Nazis treated the Jews.
And again, how can you be sure to represent "Our" will? In English the capital letter in "Our" implies a reference to God....
Aside from being straight, I don't think your representation of the people of Georgia would ever lure me into your country.

Prejudice against a group is one thing, but to actually decide to deport a people requires a leader (or leaders) with either:
a) A touch of sociopathy -- a person would not only have to be an a$$hole to be mean enough to actually make people leave their homes for no real reason (being gay is not a valid reason), but I think that goes beyond just being mean/cruel -- that is sick, the sort of sickness Hitler/Pol Pot/Stalin displayed in the last century. Now it isn't murder, sure, so maybe it's small-time Hitler-like behavior... but it's still nothing of which to be proud. If you think that you have a right to displace people, then you've got a touch of the "the world is my playground and everything in it" disorder -- AKA sociopathy.
or
b) A very weak will (assuming the rest of the populace wanted the deportation to happen)

I'm not saying gay people should be deported...
I'm just saying if any foreighner told us "Georgians You should allow gay marriage" He would be deported -We do not need that,You can't find 1 Georgian ,who wants gay marriage allowed in Georgia,probably only gays...
Ralf I'm trying not to be rude,but do you really think someone wants You to lure into this Country ?
Lol 
Could you please answer this question : What's Your orientation

My sense of orientation could be better, but my sexual orientation is to my liking. I'd say to yours as well. Please refer to my sentence in your quote starting "Aside from being straight..."
Here are definitions for the term "tolerance" worth noting. Unfortunately, point 5 does not work as a remedy for ignorance. 1 to 4 -- when taken to heart -- do.
1. The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others.
2. Leeway for variation from a standard.
3. The permissible deviation from a specified value of a structural dimension, often expressed as a percent.
4. The capacity to endure hardship or pain.
5. Permissible residue level for pesticides in raw agricultural produce and processed foods. Whenever a pesticide is registered for use on a food or feed crop, a tolerance must be established. EPA establishes the tolerance levels, which are enforced by the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. Tonnage: The amount of waste that a landfill accepts, usually expressed as tons per month. The rate at which a landfill accepts waste is limited by the landfill´s permit.

Che
you wrote the following:
"Ralf I'm trying not to be rude,but do you really think someone wants You to lure into this Country"
Did you mean to say:
"Ralf I'm trying not to be rude, but do you really think someone wants to lure you into this country?"
- Because you're asking a question, a question mark should go at the end of the sentence.
- Something lures something somewhere... in this case, "someone wants to lure you into this country"
- And in formal writing, of course, you wouldn't capitalize "you" or "country" (I know that you know that)

Ralf,
On religious grounds, no. But if it is just signing a contract and "There, you are married!", yes, sure. |

Hi, Amy
Glad to hear from you  ! Been busy, haven't you ? |
No, I haven't been busy with much of anything lately. I've been under the weather and have mainly been busy fighting off a nasty case of the flu.

Well, афатарчики = avatars (diminutive gender) (Incidentally, the spelling is wrong - it should read "аватарчики", but that way it looks cool)
жгут - (from Жечь) means "to burn", but in that context it is used in a new, quite different meaning - "be out of an ordinary way" ?
And the whole sentence means "why are those avatars out of an ordinary way" ?
(though, I'm not sure about the indefinite article before "ordinary") |
Thanks for the explanation/translation. As a rewording, I might suggest "Why are those avatars so out of the ordinary?"
But when you wrote "avatars", were you referring to the green smileys (emoticons)?

Well,I don't see point debating here whether gay marriage should be legal or not..
The question is " Should gay marriage be made legal?" my answer is :No, it shouldn't be made legal...
prez hi
Thanks for correcting..
