Nissan's interiors, but not in a good way. Civic interior, but not in a good way.

Something I always try to remind new owners of an AWD car. "All cars have all wheel stop."

I think, maybe, each car featured was the top of the line in their respective years... which would be why the Seville is in there.

The rest of your post was quite valid personal opinions. This one part I quoted though, I must disagree with. Gay men can, and often do, find surrogate mothers. Lesbians have artificial insemination. Alternative methods, yes, but still workable and still produce the same emotions. I think the situation you described may be more appropriate for couples who adopt, heterosexual or homosexual. But to say that homosexuals aren't capable of the emotions you describe is just silly.... and you're talking in absolutes again. There are questionable issues within both the gay and straight populations. The difference is, usually the gays with the issues don't want the kids in the first place so that is a self solving problem. One of the problems with adoption right now is that white babies are in the highest demand, but black babies stay up for adoption for years. Sick black babies are doomed to temporary foster care for most of their short lives. It is an unusual tendency that gay couples are less picky on which color child they adopt. They'll often even take the sick babies that no one else wants. These are children who would otherwise live in foster homes or orphanages. Would you deny them a loving, stable, pair of dads?

Sorry fly.... pwns the one you posted.

that type of comparison is like picking up the taking home the second fattest girl a the bar and calling her skinny.

and Aspen ads

woops, my bad. well... uh... it was still produced in the 90s... yeah.. that's what I meant

Allante' came out in 92-93

While I realize the attraction to the 85 Seville is subjective <I like them> in Cadillac's defense, they sold a huge number of them. They were very very popular in their day, so I can see why they included it. they just could have picked one in a more striking colour.

I drove an XR today, here are my impressions: 1. Interior, while not groundbreaking is attractive and high quality. 2. Gauges are awesome 3. Transmission is like butta.... got to play with the slap shift, it's fun on the twisties 4. Turn signal lever felt kind flimsy and out of place compaired to the rest of the switchgear. 5. Moraccan leather is hot 6. heated seats stay on after you shut the engine off till you open the car door 7. very tight turning radius 8. 3.6 is very willing to play, I have one in my CTS so this was expected Overall impression? It's a poor man's front wheel drive Cadillac CTS with a nicer styled interior.

Awesome ad! Though in the shorter spot, I'm not sure I would have jumped directly from 85 Seville to 07 XLR. They could have put the 98 Eldorado in there....

suppose there are religious interpretations, other than your own, that allow gay marriage? just saying....

I completely agree. Those who follow that faith are free to follow it. Where that becomes a problem is when people of faith try to force their faith onto others through civil law.

Do you say the same thing to infertile couples? Gay parents, on average, put more effort into being parents than heterosexual parents do. I'm not saying that gay parents make better parents than heterosexual ones, but similar to those infertile heterosexual couples, if you must make a huge legal, financial, and medical effort to even have the child in the first place, you make sure it's taken care of once you have it. The number of gay parents is relatively small simply because of that effort. The number of unwilling heterosexual parents greatly weighs down the "good parent" average. I can point you to any number of studies that show that the children of gay parents turn out to be boringly normal. We've kept this discussion very civil Razor, please continue to do so.

Actually, in NJ's case. NJ was the first state to legalize joint gay adoption.

I don't see that being the case at all. The Catholics can, and still do, deny people church weddings. Some of the Jewish faiths do it as well. No one has been forcing the churches to marry anyone they don't want to.

They found that the marriage law was only unconstitutional because the DP law did not make up for the inequity. Had the DP law been completely equal to the marriage law <as is the case in Vermont> the court would have likely ruled against the plaintiffs.

Yet again proof that GM could make a fully working model of Christ himself and there would still be people complaining that the water to wine function only dispenses a Merlot.

X3 MSRP $36,800 SRX MSRP $36,270 Touereg MSRP $37,410 ML350 MSRP $42,680 The only one that is much higher is the ML... and I'm sure there is a bit of price overlap there. point is, the 3 "other" interiors, yes including the Cadillac, the X3 interior in terms of design.

4 years ago, most 25 year old guys would be embarrassed to say they owned a Cadillac. Today, I tell people I have a CTS and it usually gets a "Wow, nice car man".

I think everyone here forgives you.

The court found that the existing marriage law was unconstitutional because it unlawfully restricted marriages to heterosexual unions. At the same time they found the domestic partnership law to be inadequate in providing rights, privileges and protections to same sex couples. In the end, both laws failed under the equal protections clause of the NJ Constitution. If the state court had thrown out the marriage law, they would have had to throw out the DP law as well. I think the reason the court took the actions they did is because they didn't want the existing system to be thrown into chaos while the legislature figured things out. The legislature actually doesn't have that 5th option at all. They must somehow provide equal protections to same sex couples. The decision can be read here. link fixed What I want to try to get across here is that this wasn't a court overstepping the lines. Issues of equality shouldn't be left up to a popular vote, but in this case, all the court said was the current laws are inadequate and that it is the legislatures job to remedy the situation. This decision was, by far, the sanest of all the court battles in this matter.

Is it a bad thing that I can't tell? Even after you pointed it out... I still really can't tell.

great name!
