At the beginning of the video, he states that "Piers Morgan called me a bigot. Because I believe what the Catholic church teaches with respect to homosexuality, I'm a bigot. So now I'm a bigot, because I believe what the Bible teaches. Now, that 2000 years of teaching and moral theology is now bigoted." Apparently he doesn't like to be called a bigot. Merriam-Webster defines it as:

big·ot

noun \ˈbi-gət\

Definition of BIGOT

: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

— big·ot·ed adjective

— big·ot·ed·ly adverb

So yes, even though he doesn't like to be referred to as a bigot, or the Catholic church to be labeled as such, they in fact are. Sorry, 2000 years of teaching and moral theology can't change the fact that treating homosexuals with hatred and/or intolerance is bigotry.

Strike 1.

At 0:45 he states that legally allowing homosexual marriage will "...it will undermine the family. It will destroy faith in America...and will anybody go out there and make the argument as to why this is a good thing because it will happen. Make the argument why this is right."

He's running to be the President of the United States. Whether or not anybody likes to admit it, the USA is a secular nation. Faith and religion should not play any part in electing the Chief Executive. Also, the student, while a bit arrogant, is correct in referencing the studies and court documents presented by the American Psychological Association, Canadian Psychological Association, and Australian Psychological Association that "make the argument why this is right."

Strike 2.

After scoffing at the student's rebuttal, he rebukes the validity of the APA, as well as the AMA at 2:12 when he states that "An organization supporting a position is not evidence". Uh, really? See Strike 1.

Strike 3.

Yup, he's definitely a douche.

As to your original question:

I personally don't think they should be married either, but I don't believe in marriage at all, so if I were to go voice my opinion as he does, or anyone else for that matter, does that make me a douche?

Only if you're seeking election to a public office. Someone on a message board or some random guy on the street? Just another random asshole. Nothing wrong with being either, mind you. I certainly enjoy being both.

I was born and raised a Catholic and spent from birth til High School in the church. I can personally say, the Catholic church is just a bunch of hypocrites, but that still doesn't mean they can't openly profess their faith.

I know we have the whole separation of church and state BS, but the nation was founded upon God and God fearing beliefs. I suppose you could consider the entire basis of our nation as hypocrisy.

I understand where you are coming from, but he still has the right to say what he wants and do what he wants just as we all do. Personally, I find it nice that he is stating his position and sticking to it, whether good or bad, and not folding into the typical political bullshit propaganda that the other politicians do.

Personally, I don't think he is a bigot. By definition he could be, but you have to understand, when something is engrained in your very being, you become blind, or let's err on the side of optimism her, you are ignorant to other beliefs or reality due to your upbringing. Many religions are steadfast in their teachings, and many of the followers follow blindly. They don't know how to open up or accept anything else. Even if it makes sense in their brain, they still have that "training" that makes them revert back to their original thought.

So to end this, let's bring someone in who will outlaw marriage and make swinging the new marriage.

I'm brushing off the fact he used argumentum ad antiquitatem as the crux of his position because all politicians (and marketing firms, to be fair) are guilty of using logical fallacy at one point or another.

Or rather more often than not.

I'll certainly give him that.

Oh I do understand. Hell I've been raised in Texas! :P

Outlaw organized religion at the same time and you've got a deal!

I kid, I kid. Even though religion certainly isn't for me, I see no reason in making it outright illegal

Ned Flanders: Well, I guess this is a case where we'll have to agree to disagree.

Principal Skinner: I don't agree to that.

Ms. Krabappel: Neither do I!

Bigot's don't belong in office, religion doesn't either. John Adams quoted once that the United States was not founded upon the ideals of religion, the interpretation of the Constitution has become very skewed

Well trying to fit that much port area with that tuning is going to make very very port lengths.

WELL

What do you suggest an adequate amount of port area would be? Vance Dickason's method of figuring out port area is far to much evidently, 210 for 6 10's with 25mm of xmax tuned to 35hz is what i'll be needing.

Let's assume i can get away with 25% less port with flares, I would end up with 157.5 in^2 of port so that would be... what two 6 in Aeroports?

Not his problem, yours. Do you truly care about port noise when you are going full bore at 35Hz? ie, you think that a little chuffing will bother you when you have 6 10's moving at 25mm??

Julian what drivers are you looking at? Sounds like you need less drivers or go sealed.

Shhh aaron will be disapoint with me :(

Skar 10's

Suggested is ~1 cube each so i went with .8 to fit them better.

.8*6= 4.8 Ft^3

Don't be a retard and buy from that prick. His drivers aren't worth it. If that's your budget, buy used.

Port Diameter: 6in

Number of Ports: 7

Port Length Each: 87.32in

Port Area Total: 197.92in^2

Tuning: 35hz

Enclosure Volume: 4.8ft^3

Holy lots of ports...

You could get away with 3 10's...
