Don't you see the hypocrisy in this?

Look, old Amish gays shouldn't be allowed to get married while driving with suspended licenses, and that's just how it is, dammit!

It is the point. Marriage is a civil right. Driving, is a privilege.

Making you the driver (benefit of the doubt being given here) in a gay marriage will never kill anyone not directly involved.

Gay people having sex with gay people doesn't kill children.

Old people who drive beyond their ability have been the cause of many deaths -

Man plows through farmers market

Elderly driver goes wrong way and kills 2

76 year old drive hits motorcyclist

Tell that BS to the kid that gets AIDS via a blood transfusion.

No - as pointed out -- gay people marrying gay people doesn't kill anyone.

Driving is not a civil right. Blind people aren't allowed. Many other disabilities aren't allowed or they must meet certain standards. It is a license that says you meet these qualifications to drive a motorized vehicle safely. Old people who can not see appropriately, who get confused, and who have slow reflexes get other people killed. Public safety is greater than civil rights in most court opinions (i.e. yelling fire in a crowded theatre, etc...).

If you can not pass the test, you can not drive either. It is a privilege to those who qualify to operate a motor vehicle safely.
Elderly people should not be allowed to renew their license without having the appropriate checks every few years. They can get physical issues that deteriorate rapidly and do not fit within the context of the typical five year renewal. If they show they have the ability, they should get the license.

Driving is not a RIGHT, it's a PRIVILEGE. You do not have the RIGHT to drive.

Oops - never mind. Two people said that before me.

How ignorant are you exactly? Whether the homosexual couple gets married or not or whether there are are gay people or not, AIDs can happen in blood supplies.

AIDs via blood transfusions is the fault of the person not knowing and the blood donor system not testing appropriately their supplies.

AIDS is a homosexual disease. The VAST majority of people who get AIDS are homosexual men. Next category is IV drug users. Lesbian women and heterosexuals who don't shoot up only make up about 5% of all AIDS victims.

You're right, as far as the US is concerned. From what I've read, most of the victims in Africa (where the disease is much more prevalent) are heterosexuals.
