On Gay Marriage
(Wrote this on a message board. turned out pretty funy. now you get to read it)
It's like if you like waffles but not pancakes. You didn't choose one day to like waffles better, you just like them. Now, I don't have a problem what kind of breakfast pastry you eat. Some people like one, some like the other, some like both. I bet some sickos even have both at the same time with strawberries and whipped cream. It's your right and what you do at your table is your own business.
However, if you go to someone's house and they don't have a waffle iron, you're out of luck. It's pancakes or nothing. You can moan all you want about your breakfast orientation and discrimination, but what do you expect them to do, go out and buy a waffle iron just for you? Just have some sausage and some toast and be happy.

I don't understand the logic here. Is there any?
It's clear as a bell, Jo! The moral of the story is, don't expect to be accomodated just because you have a diffferent preference.
As a pancake eater, I don't want to see pancakes on the menu only to find out it's really waffles. Not that I'm afraid of getting waffles or anything, I just think it makes more sense to list them separately on the menu, so as to avoid confusion.
Let's say the restaurant offers the big slam breakfast deal with pancakes, but you can't get it with waffles. That's not very fair to the waffle eaters. So offer the deal wth waffles, but don't call the waffles pancakes! Give it its own place in the menu.
Ya, but you'd still call it breakfast.
