I meant thoughts that he would find happy. Girls discussing his underwear on a public message board would probably be more creepy than happy. And he would show up to his next concert wearing a burka to avoid future discussions.

Fortunately he is probably much too occupied today to bother looking here, if he ever has. It'll take him a while just to wade through all those myspace comments.
ETA: another screencap. I really love this video for some reason.
This reminds me of the people on MySpace who are like "Adam, come to location x!!!" If you want him to come somewhere near you that badly, you can't just beg for it in cyberspace and expect him to magically schedule a gig near you. Contact people at colleges or other possible venues and do what you can to make it happen, rather than complaining about how he doesn't just magically KNOW that you want him to play there and therefore do so. He's allowing his fans to have a significant hand in planning this tour; take advantage of it.
I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly; even if the decision is not to call it marriage, but rather to call it civil union, it's basically just a semantic difference, but the implications are the same? Obviously there are issues because so much is in a name, but as far as the benefits and everything, the court ruled that that has to be equal, right?
I don't think so, Em. Marriage grants more protections that a "civil union" does. Forgive me for not providing specific examples, but I read that paper at seven in the morning.
Here's the summary I came across, which is one person's interpretation, of course:
Although the court ultimately concluded that there was no fundamental right to same-sex marriage, it did hold that, “under the equal protection guarantee of Article I, Paragraph 1 of the New Jersey Constitution, committed same-sex couples must be afforded on equal terms the same rights and benefits enjoyed by married opposite-sex couples.” The court, however, resisted the temptation to mandate a statutory scheme change that would require the adoption of a marriage law for same-sex couples. Rather, the court has put the burden on the legislature to come up with either a marriage definition or a civil union statutory framework.
Now that I look at it again, that isn't very clear either. I wouldn't have lasted five minutes in law school.
All of the ambiguous language is so irritating. There's too much that's unclear.
to come up with either a marriage definition or a civil union statutory framework.
What's confusing to me is... what would be the difference between the two, you know? It's ok if nobody wants to provide examples, I could probably use to look it up myself, but that's what's confusing me about the whole thing; if the court ruled that they must be afforded the same rights, what would really be the difference other than the title, under the assumption that people are probably going to object to calling it marriage, because of sacred meaning and all that?

If only it were that easy! JK, I totally get what you are saying about the complaining and begging in cyberspace but seriously I have called and wrote to so many places around here for YEARS and no one ever bites. I do think that I am going to give it another go now though. Wish me luck!
