Could it be the first earthlike extrasolar planet that has been discovered? A rather small rocky planet in the comfortzone, maybe even with water detected on the surface?
dang, i was all set to call you an idiot for believing in Nibiru, and then you posted all this real stuff.
HOW, please tell me, HOW you skipped from “NASA will hold a Science Update” to “a planet full of winged monkeys is coming back to enslave Earth?”

Homosexuality is everywhere. You can see it in books, on television, in the media; it is rapidly becoming a social norm. Given this trend of greater acceptance of gay marriage, the issue of whether to legalize same-sex marriage naturally arises. Massachusetts has led the way by legalizing gay marriage. Responding to this example, some states have taken steps towards accepting gay marriage while others are considering laws and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage within state borders. If Americans carefully examine the situation, however, they should all be able to understand the importance of making same-sex marriage legal in the United States.
Those opposing same-sex marriage claim that by allowing this act, marriages everywhere will lose their honor and validity . Marriages between a man and a woman would lose their special importance, these opponents argue, if the definition of marriage is expanded to include same-sex couples as well. The test of time has proven this
As we have seen, legalizing gay marriage would strengthen families, protect individuals’ rights to choice and privacy, and combat discrimination while defending equality. Massachusetts has taken the first step by legalizing gay marriage within the borders of its state. Now it is time for the rest of the nation to follow: homosexuals deserve to have their marriage rights protected in every American state.
i wrote about Massachusetts cause it was the 1st state that legalized the same sex marriage but i tihnk that i will add something about VT,Main , NH ,CT and Iowa
but do you tihnk that its a good essay?
well this suppose to be a 200 word paragraph not an essay but when i have something on my mind i will just write it down and then think what can be added or taken away but im satisfied with this
although i want to add something more but it might come off as offensive and with an explicit/strong language
It is a great start!
Take a look at the 14th Amendment to the constitution… it guarantees equal protection under the law. "Separate but equal" was ruled unconstitutional a long time ago. Allowing gays to have civil unions or domestic partnerships but not marriage only promises un-equal protection under the law.
Those worrying about the validity and honor of marriage should divert their focus on the 50%+ divorce rate. But they are not passing any petitions to get divorce declared illegal.
Good luck and feel free to write if you need more back-up on any points.
