Rootin' Tootin' Lootin' Alternative Method (Quick Version)
First I want to give thanks to XboX4Ever for posting the foundation of this method originally and Alice2183 for making a few things clear.
This method will help you find orange weapons within a short amount of time. I found 5 orange weapons doing this method though I only needed 3. The time varies for how long you will find a weapon. One time it was the very first chest I looked in (Mowen's Boat). Another time it took me 15 minutes. So on average for me it was about 8 mins.
You will need to have Chapter 15 unlocked or higher (to the best of my knowledge; this is what I did it on). The method I will describe is what I did precisely and exactly. Perhaps there are different things you can do and it will still work but I did not test other possibilities. Character selection may not matter but I am writing out the way I did it.
1. Start a new game and Choose Sam B. Select Chapter 15.
2. Once you spawn press Up on the D-pad and then drop all of you items in your inventory (which for me was only 3)
3. Press RB and apply the following skills under Survival: Recuperation (1) ---> Motivation (3) -----> Picklock (3) ------> Hardened (3).
The main point here is to just have Picklock maxed to Level 3. But like I said, I am writing it out the way I did it exactly. If you choose a different Character such as Logan or Purna, I would recommend putting points in the perks that allow them a better loot.
4. Go inside the Church and Fast Travel to Mowen's Boat, which is located under Laboratory.
5. Once you spawn on the boat, go inside the building beside you. One you enter the inside of the building there is a staircase. Go up the stair case and there should be a Level 3 Red Chest to the right.
6. Open the Chest and DO NOT grab the weapon if it is NOT orange. The weapon will be random between Green, Blue, Purple, and Orange. There will not be a specific order. If the weapon is orange skip to either Step 12 or 13.
7. Run to the fast travel which is near the boat. Fast travel to Resot, Bunker #02 which is located under Resort.
The helicopter crash was unfortunate...
8. Once you are inside the bunker go up the ladder that is inside the bunker. Once you get to the top there should be a Level 3 Red Chest to your right.
9. Follow Step 6.
10. Now if the weapon is not orange go to the fast travel and travel back to Mowen's Boat.
What, not even a "hello"?
11. Repeat Steps 5-10 until you find an orange weapon.
12. Skip this step if you don't want to try it, or if you do not have a partner. If you find an orange weapon there is 2 different ways to keep picking it up.
1) The first way is to have a friend join your game. Now have him or you "drop out" but stay in that part of the game. Now you can follow either of these two steps:
(a) Each of you can pick up the orange weapon, meaning both of you get progress towards it
(b) Only one of you picks up the weapon and then drops it. The person who picked it up quits to the main menu and then rejoin your friends game again. The weapon will still be there. And you just repeat the same thing. Drop out of game ---> Pick up weapon ----> Drop weapon ----> Quit to Main menu ---> Rejoin game. Repeat.
2) The other way for picking up the same weapon is to have either a automatic rifle or semi automatic (which is labelled as "single fire" in the game). You need two people. Have one friend shoot the chest right where the :xbut: is shown as quick as he can and do not stop until you have to reload (unless you have a hacked gun and do not need to reload). After the friend shoots the chest for 2 seconds pick up the orange weapon. You should now have an orange weapon and the orange weapon should still be in the chest. This is the duplicate glitch. You can keep repeating this. But make sure you stop picking up the weapon BEFORE he reloads. If you grab the weapon when he is not shooting the chest then you will take it and it will disappear from the chest.
13. Once you have the orange weapon quit the game.
14. Delete the save you used to get the weapon and start a new game again. Repeat all the steps over.
15. If for some reason you cannot find an orange weapon and it has been over 20-30 minutes, delete the save and restart your xbox. Then start from Step 1.
The methods in step 12 are confirmed.
I will be updating this thread more. I am just going to post it so this method is known as quick as possible.
didnt work for me...
tried 2 times =/
I think I can confirm this. Had a couple of 20min sessions where it didn't work, yesterday I got an orange weapon in 35min. Used purna with lock pick and jackpot
Ll give this a go today and I'll let you know if it works for me, I'll follow the guide exactly.
1st run i tried above methods for about 40 minutes without any luck, did what the guide said: delete save file, restart xbox and started my 2nd run; after 5 minutes i had my orange item, so thanks for the guide! :)
While it's obvious that locked chests have better loot on average than regular chests, someone has said before and i'm inclined to believe that all chests have the same chance to produce an orange item. So, make sure to open all 4 chests at the Resort 2 bunker, including the one through the passage with the suicider guarding it. 2/3 of my current Orange weapons came from unlocked chests while using the OP's method.
Good guide, found 5/5 in less than half an hour
i'm tryng but in a session of an hour no orange weapon appear,it's necessary to be signed on xbox live?
Not sure what the hell is wrong with my luck. I tried this method after the patch with Xian thinking it'd be quick, but it took me roughly 2 hours of zoning between River Village, Bunker 2, and Mowen's Boat or whatever to actually get ONE orange item. Thank God that it was my last one.
I followed the guide and used Purna, got the two weapons I needed and it took 30-60min each time.
I have to echo the sentiments of others in saying that I managed to gain this cheev naturally before the end of Act II just by playing the game and checking every loot box.
Worked fine for me with Logan and took about 30 minutes each time (needed 3).
yet he kept picking it up, then walking over to me and trading/dropping it for me O.o so i ended up getting 3 in my first playthrough. i think he did it at least 3 times.
I'll probably progress her as far as having to go to the prison (but won't go) and leave it there so if I need money I can just fast travel loot boxes and such and keep her ready for the Arena.
Next I have to start building the other three and try to polish off some random cheevs. So I'll probably start co-oping soon. Even then I'd rather arrange it ahead of time with someone rather than try to random it.
But I hate people, anyway. So for that reason I like to stick with people I know/meet via sites like this one and hope for the best.
Know this is old but I am bumping it so more people can get this achievement if they do not like the other way.
It works! Thanks very much. I used Sam B and did exactly as instructed. It took me longer than OP said but I still got it done. I only needed 3 more. I got 1 orange after 25 min, another in less than 5. The last one took me over an hour. I think it's all just luck.
Thanks OP, had been trying for a couple of hours running around. Got last one in 2 minutes using Logan and this method (first crate in bunker).
Thanks! Worked for me. Took around 30 minutes all in all to get it.
Before the patch my and my friends had found several orange weapons by just playing the game. Then when we hit the jungle area our game always crashed 100%. Then after the patch when we continued we had around 50% left of the game and we didn't find any orange weapons at all.
So thanks for the method, only needed one orange :)
Very YMMV. I went at it for an hour before I gave up.
Thanks worked for me. Took about 3 hours or so total to find the last 4 I needed.
Thanks best way to do this unless you have the dlc. Arena they pop up a lot, anyways worked great 2 thumbs up..
Worked for me. Well done and thank you!
Using the method described in the OP, I have gotten two oranges so far. Just one difference. Instead of creating a new save file, I've just been using my existing Sam B, who is level 50. I tried the new save file method a few times and didn't get anything, trying for over 30 minutes. But by using my existing level 50 character, I have gotten an orange item in about 30 minutes each time.
I think the level of your character plays into it. a level 50 character is a little more likely to get an orange than a level 30. Other gamers have stated this on another site where we were discussing this same achievement.
Like all the other solutions outthere this one also is boring almost annoying.
The easiest way is to play the Arena till wave 30,
there will be a zombie carrying a ex. weapon all the time.
If you have trouble getting to wave 30, just hop in a few lobbies and there will be someone who is kind enough to dupe a "One Hit Kill Weapon" and you're good to go.
And, if you need 5 weapons it's 5 times wave 30, which will result in a heavy amount of Exp. and $$$ hwat makes level50/60 way easier.
I know im a little late and been a while since the last post but I played the dlc on very hard and only got 3 rare items in 42 levels and.on hard to.level 32 and.got the same.
Cheers OP found my last orange weapon after 20 minutes :drunk

- "Umm… D-Do you need something…?"
- ―Dorothy
Dorothy (ドロシー, Dorothy) is Gordon's extremely shy daughter. She lives at the church with her younger sister, Cammy, and her father, Gordon. Unlike her sister, Dorothy rarely ever speaks, and is quite an introvert. Rather than speaking to people herself, Dorothy talks through her doll (whom she has named Fern), and carries Fern around at all times.
To get her proposal item, the Blessing Pendant, you must complete all of her requests, the last of which will be her requesting a date. Then, in Gordon's request, he will give you the Blessing Pendant which was originally for Dorothy.
If you manage to finish Dorothy's requests, she'll begin to open up to everyone in Alvarna and no longer use Fern to speak to others. She always has her eyes covered, except on her wedding day when her hair will still be tied in pigtails, but will reveal her beautiful, pink eyes.
Her dream is to become a nurse at the clinic, and fears that her inability to talk to people will get in the way of her career. If you complete Dorothy's requests, her wish will be fulfilled. When she's not at the clinic, Dorothy can be seen with Julia and Rosalind at the Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Since Dorothy is a bachelorette, you can give her gifts to get her love points up. Her favorite gifts are Emery Flowers, and she also likes Char, which can be caught on Blessia Island. Despite all that, Dorothy hates insect skins, something that her younger sister, Cammy, likes.
Your rival for Dorothy is Barrett, and the two will marry in the third year on Fall 17th if you don't marry Dorothy or anyone else before getting married. If she gets married to Barrett, she will become Mayor Byron's daughter-in-law and Leonel's mother.
How beautiful... EMERY FLOWER are my... favorite flower...Th-thank you...
- Emery Flower
That...that's for me...? I really...really like CHAR...
- Char Sashimi, Salted Char, Char
Is that a present for me...?
- Fruit, Insect Jaw,
A present for me...? Th-Thank you...
Uwah....! Why...why for me...? This is the kind of thing...the kind of thing that Cammy would prefer, I think...
- Insect Skin,
First Generation Requests
I Dropped Something...
"I, um, dropped my amulet, and..."
If you speak to Dorothy she will reluctantly tell you that she dropped her AMULET. Before you can ask her where she could have possibly dropped it however, she nervously runs away. It's suggested that her amulet may be near the docks.
Go to the docks and search for Dorothy's amulet. Once you have found it, pick it up and deliver it to Dorothy to finish the request.
I Did It Again...
"I dropped my RUBY BROOCH and... it's, um, really important to me and, well..."
Speak to Dorothy and enquire about her missing brooch. She will initially tell you that the brooch has been found and that the request has been cancelled, but you manage to get the full truth out of Dorothy. She says that she dropped it near Trieste Forest.
The brooch can be found at Trieste Forest - Spring Clearing. Once found, pick it up and return it to Dorothy for a reward.
Second Generation
Unless she marries Kyle, she will now be a nurse and have a son with Barrett named Leonel. She will no longer shy, but will still keep her eyes covered and carry around her doll, Fern. She has also fulfilled her dreams of becoming a nurse.
Second Generation Requests
- Her personality's the exact opposite of Cammy's while it reflects Tori's personality from Rune Factory, as they're both shy and tend to trail off whenever they're speaking to someone.
- She shares the same birthday as Kiel from Rune Factory 4.

TravelPod Member ReviewsOutrigger Surfers Paradise
Maybe too nice of a hotel to let uni bums stay and drink in. Wasn't up for coping with large amounts of people, the lifts were incredibly slow and the check in/check out took hours! Also many nights we had to re-activate our keys.
But the rooms were spacious, beds were huge and comfy, bathroom was high standard and we were right in the hub of nightclubs and beach!
The only thing i was dissapointed in and i think was due to tight arse university, the 'buffet' breakfast was cereal and bread and the same things were put out each morning so was stale and bland.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Outrigger Surfers Paradise
WOW...Fantastic Stay
We had the absolutely best holiday ever at the Holiday Inn. The lobby/reception area has just been refurbished and looks beautiful. The rooms are progressively being refurbished too however we got a standard room on Floor 13 with fantastic views of the beach and Bungee rides. The room was huge with 2 double beds and plenty of space for 4 people. The balony was great and even though it is in one of the busiest areas of Surfers there was not a sound to be heard and we got great nights sleep.
The biggest bonus of this hotel (besides its location) was the staff. Every single staff member was friendly, happy .,highly trained and went out of their way to help us. That included front desk, pool/spa, housekeeping, maids and even staff we encountered in the lifts. The room had a fridge and Coles Supermarket is just across the road. Parking was free undercover and the restuarant seafood buffet was one of the best I have ever had. They even gave us great discount coupons for the restuarant and bars. The pool was big and had plenty of chairs and shade.There were 2 big pools and a smaller kids wading pool.I couldnt recommend this hotel highly enough and it will be even more spectacular once the rooms are refurbished (to be completed by Dember 2006 I think).We stayed for 6 nights and would liked to have stayed more.
Great location, More effort needed in Housekeeping and Staff attitude
My first sight of the lobby prepared me for condition of our inter-connecting rooms. Lobby looked unkept. Agreed renovation was in progess but arranging the sofas and cushions would have made a difference. Check in was fast but staff we not friendly.
Our rooms looked fine until we walked in. There was a musty smell coming from the toilets. So unbearable that we immediately requested for a room change. Request was granted and we moved up to the eleventh floor. This time there was no smell. Thank god! The rooms have been well used. Curtains, sheets and furniture have seen better days. Housekeeping needs to do a better job. Saw strands of hair on the toliet seat. Enough said.
The buffet breakfast was alright for the first day. But imagine having the same limited menu for 4 days in a row. We came to the conclusion that the chef was at fault for his limited capability. Glasses and plates looked like they needed another second good wash. Looks like cleanliness a big problem. Needs to be worked on.
Though out our stay staff were unfriendly. Nobody helped us with the luggage when checking out. The bell captain was busy having a conversation.
The location of the hotel was the only saving grace.
We enjoyed our stay!
We just came from Queensland and stayed at Holiday Inn for three nights as part of a package deal offered here. We chose this over the other which was along the main road, and it was a choice we did not regret. The location was good. Plenty of amentities with Coles just round the corner and a Chinese restauarant just opposite the road. There was also a bottle shop in the same building. Btw, parking was free throughout our stay, and I am not sure if the other hotels offer similar perks.
Unlike the other reviewers, I am very pleased with the house-keeping. Likewise with the buffet breakfast, which also includes rice/porridge with pickles as there were quite a number of Japanese tourists (popularity was due to the fact that it was previously ANA).
The only drawback was the rooms were a bit run-down, but I believe this would be improved as a refurbishment is on-going as seen in the renovation works at the lobby atrium. We stayed at level 10, and were not affected by the noise at all, but I would suggest anyone to request for a room at the high floor - just in case.
With plenty of restaurants and shops around, we would recommend this hotel to anyone keen to stay at Surfers Paradise.
Reasonable priced, lovely view, can improve on cleanliness and service
The rates for this hotel is very reasonable, got it at A$117 through the main hotel chain hotline. I think the rate also depends which day you are checking in as it varies. Thurs - Sun are the pricest days. Unless you take a cab, taking the surfside bus from Pacific Fair shopping center to the hotel can get you lost. Bus drivers wouldn't know where the hotel is, so suggest checking with the concierge where to tell the driver to stop, and how to walk there is important.
Receptionists helpful but not warm. Was upgraded to a high floor with seaview! The view of the sea is spectacular!! You can see the sunrise in the morning from the balcony. Was great as could see the sea from even sitting on the bed. What's not good is when I was in the room, I saw empty mineral water bottles, open and used soap... housekeeping needs to improve on this aspect. But on the whole its still clean. Big room, clean, basic fittings. Will be able to rest comfortably in the room without squirming. Walls are quite thin, so you may hear people talking when they walk down the corridor.
3 min walk to beach from hotel. 15 min lovely walk to the main street of surfers. Try this restaurant called Rusty Pelican tel: (--) - crn elkhorn ave & orchid ave. Lovely seafood at reasonable prices. In terms of shopping at surfers, don't expect to find much stuff, except maybe sovenirs. Shopping best at Pacific Fair Shopping Center or the Harbour Town.
Great Hotel - Great Location
Myself and my wife stayed in a deluxe ocean view room on the 21st floor. Our room was at right angles to the ocean so we could see the sea if we looked right over our balcony.
The hotel is situated just at the edge of the of all the restaurants and nightclubs which is perfect - far enough away from it to escape the noise and a 5 minute walk round the corner to get to it. Also it was a two minute walk to the sea front.
Compared to UK hotel prices the hotel was very reasonable (in think we ended up paying round �65 per night). The hotel is a little out dated but clean and comfortable and tidy. There is a lot of redevelopment going on at surfers paradise so it is probably a matter of time until this hotel is revamped.
We had been travelling for about 36 hours by the time we arrived to check in and all the staff we encountered were very helpful and efficient.
Location, Location, Location
We stayed 7 nights in a Deluxe Ocean View Room on the 20th level. Right from the beginning we were treated in a good manner and checked in immediately which was a delight as we were about 3 hours early. The reception staff were very professional. Rooms were very good however would be delighted if a renovation commenced. The housekeeping staff did a great job with the room everyday and were available to help out with any requests. The facilities were also excellent. The Hotel has a great large pool that many hours were spent in. The ambience in the pool and spa area was very calming and relaxing. We would consider staying here again next year as it is money well spent.
They are working on it
Hi, First let me say the Staff are the Star's here. They made the stay!
The hotel itself has began a renovation.
The rooms are in need of renovation which they have started doing at the top of the hotel working their way down. My room was OK but some of the other guests we spoke to were not pleased with theirs.
They are adding a new restaurant . The seafood buffet restaurant smelled of fish so bad the night we went in to dine that we turned around and left before we were seated. All the locals we spoke to loved this seafood buffet so we may have been there on an off night.
The pools are nice. The jacuzzi is more like a fountain than a whirlpool.
The business center is a joke. 1 very slow computer in an unventilated closet.
The balcony is full sized with table and chairs.
This hotel in it's present condition is adequate but until the renovation is done you may want to consider the Marriott (although it is not as near to the beach)
Great View and Balcony
From the moment that my boyfriend and I arrived at this hotel we were greeted by friendly and efficient staff. We were upmost impressed with the location and enjoyed a nice view of the ocean from our room. The only issue being that this hotel seemed to be mostly enjoyed by tour groups and therefore always seemed overly busy- especially the lobby!
We neglected to request a non smoking room and the smell of cigarette smoke was almost unbearable. The blanket that was on our bed had cigarette burn holes in it (very unimpressed). Where our room was situated was at the end of the floor and it seemed that noone was around us.
We did request a single room with one queen size bed and again were not very happy to find that instead of this we'd been put in a room with twin beds with a very unattractive and old beside table between them.
We used the room service facilities on this occasion and were impressed with both the speed of the service and the beverages recieved.
The bathoom appeared to be old and the facilities were a little outdated. They weren't a major issue and could be lived with.
The highlight of this room was the balcony, we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner sitting there glued to the horizon!!
Overall I would recommend that you definitely request a NON smokers area (hopefully the room is a little better!)
Perfect hotel location in Gold Coast
This hotel is located right on Surfers Paradise city center with many stores and rows of restaurants right outside the hotel. Great view of the ocean and the beach is only less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room on the top floor (22nd floor) and had a great view of the ocean and the city. We even had our breakfast at the balcony because the view was so wonderful. The weather was great even though it was beginning of winter. They only have dial up internet access unfortunately. There are few internet places with broad band access along the shopping areas for only $2.50AUD or less than US$2 per hour. The bathroom is kinda old but very clean. That's probably why Expedia.com only gave this hotel a 3 star rating.There are other 4 and 5 star hotels on the main beach in Gold Coast area such as the Sheraton and Pallazo Versace but they are far from the center of activities. They are more like a resort type of a hotel. If that is what you are looking for, this is not that kind of a hotel. I gave this hotel a 3.5 star because of the dial up internet access and the old bathroom.
The rooms are spacious, and clean. Good location, the hotel is not new, but well kept. Service is good. The restaurant on the lobby level is above average. Good hotel for families.

Sample of Challenges & Opportunities
The muckrakers and reformers of the Progressive Era were part of an American tradition. And like most of their predecessors and successors, they met with only partial success. You might want to take this opportunity to explore exactly why. Were Progressives limited by barriers within the economic and social system? Or were they inhibited by the limitations of their own vision for reform?
Similarly we encourage you to explore the question of tactics with your students, and we have included some activities that will help you do so. How is reform best advanced? Through the confrontational tactics of Carry A. Nation or the accommodating approach of Jane Addams? Were the shocking images of urban destitution taken by Jacob Riis most helpful to the reformers' cause, or were the ennobling portraits of industrial workers and immigrants taken by Lewis Hine?

The whole "interrogate them due to dinosaur transform static" thing comes off as Metroplex forgetting about Trypticon completely.

Let's Bring Some Common Sense to Air-Travel Security
Regarding Gordon Crovitz's "Intelligence Is a Terrible Thing to Waste" (Information Age, Jan. 4): We need intelligence at airport screening, meaning the simple application of "common sense."
I am a 61-year-old businessman who commutes between the U.S. and Canada weekly. I have an office in Minneapolis and one in Winnipeg, and a three-year work permit to allow me to perform my duties as the general manager of our Canadian business. Because I commute weekly, I went through the process of applying for and getting a Nexus pass. The process included a background check, fingerprinting, a retinal scan, and a personal interview with U.S. and Canadian officials that lasted well over one hour. During the course of this process, the authorities discovered I served in the U.S. Army as a captain. Over the last 18 months I have taken the same flights weekly and am frequently greeted by name by many of the flight crew and airport personnel.
Recently, I completed my eighth (yes, eighth) consecutive "random" screening as I processed through the security screening in Winnipeg, Canada. During this screening a Canadian security person confided that the reason I was consistently the "random" person being asked to undergo "further screening" was because I was "the first person through customs," a function of having a Nexus pass. I told the security person how much I appreciated him telling me why I was being pulled aside, but added that "always taking the first person isn't really random and that if I were a terrorist I'd wait and go second." He looked at me like I was a total idiot.
I heard a White House representative on TV who said "there were no red flags" that would have indicated that Christmas bomber wannabe Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should have been kept from flying to the U.S. Compare his experience to my own.
Mr. Abdulmutallab had been reported as being involved in radicalism by his father, purchased a one-way ticket with cash, had been denied a visa by the British, and had no checked luggage on an international flight. Hmmm, far more suspicious than a businessman who has undergone extensive precreening.
We need to apply good, old-fashioned common sense, such as spending more time screening individuals that display the type of behavior Mr. Abdulmutallab displayed, and less time devoted to people like myself who have been screened and re-screened. That would require intelligence and I don't mean the assembling of disparate snippets of data to develop a picture of a particular passenger.
Dickson W. Lewis
Long Lake, Minn.
In "Two Cheers for Airport Security" (Business World, Dec. 30) Holman Jenkins says; "Silly are the outrage and accusations simply because Mr. Abdulmutallab was on a list (along with 550,000 others about whom suspicions have been raised) without keeping him off a flight."
After 9/11 the American people were promised by the government that the Transportation Security Administration would solve air-travel security problems. Billions of dollars and eight years later it has not. Its response to this breach is to further inconvenience air travel. That's the source of the outrage.

An influential approach to engineering ethics is based on codes of ethics and the application of moral principles by individual practitioners. However, to better understand the ethical problems of complex technological systems and the moral reasoning involved in such contexts, we need other tools as well. In this article, we consider the role of imagination and develop a concept of distributed responsibility in order to capture a broader range of human abilities and dimensions of moral responsibility. We show that in the case of Snorre A, a near-disaster with an oil and gas production installation, imagination played a crucial and morally relevant role in how the crew coped with the crisis. For example, we discuss the role of scenarios and images in the moral reasoning and discussion of the platform crew in coping with the crisis. Moreover, we argue that responsibility for increased system vulnerability, turning an undesired event into a near-disaster, should not be ascribed exclusively, for example to individual engineers alone, but should be understood as distributed between various actors, levels and times. We conclude that both managers and engineers need imagination to transcend their disciplinary perspectives in order to improve the robustness of their organisations and to be better prepared for crisis situations. We recommend that education and training programmes should be transformed accordingly.

Many opponents of same-sex marriage say that their opposition isn't to
homosexuals per se. They say that they are defending the God-Given institution
of marriage, which they say God defines as being between a man and a woman.
Forget for a moment that we don't live in a theocracy. Forget for a moment that an increasing number of churches, temples and synagogues support gay marriage.
If marriage is a God-Given institution, isn't it logical to assume that only people who believe in God should be allowed to marry? A greater percentage of Americans don't believe in God than are homosexual. If people are concerned about preserving the 'sanctity' of marriage as a God-given institution, why is no one talking about prohibiting agnostics, atheists, Satan worshipers, Buddhists, et al from marrying?
So if you are truly concerned about defending marriage as a God-given institution, what legal remedies will you support to prohibit people who don't believe in God from marrying?

We need a system where lower judges can remove higher judges if the judges do not uphold the Constitution in their rulings. There was no constitutional justification for taking this case since the litigants had agreed with the lower court ruling against Prop 8. The five Supreme Court justices ruling in this case should be removed for not upholding the Constitution.

But according to the gun debate people, making something illegal wont stop truly
committed people from getting what they desire. If homosexuals desire to be
together, what will making marriage illegal for them accomplish?

Hmm. Cynthia is very upset about the Court upsetting the balance of power in
government. And the Supreme Court she is criticizing is actually a conservative
court, on average. Based on their political leanings, the nine justices actually
favor conservative political views. So what are you complaining about, Cynthia?
Do we need to have all nine of them be ultra-wacko-conservative?
But I suppose you do have cause for concern. With current Republican policies, which are unlikely to change anytime soon, there will be a Democrat in the White House for a long time, which will eventually skew the court leftward.

First off, I want to let you know that I respect your right to believe anything you want.
With that said, you wrote,
"The will of the people was completely ignored in this unfortunate ruling"
Since you seem to believe that the will of the people should determine whether or not each state will allow marriage equality, I assume you enthusiastically support those states wherein the people have voted in favor of it?
The fact is that the views of the American people regarding marriage equality have shifted greatly in recent years and all indications are that they will continue to do so. I feel very confident that one day, before too much longer, I will be allowed to marry the man I love. I'm glad we can count on your support.

Cynthia, your beliefs are clouding your judgment and reasoning. First, the SC
ruling simply affirmed that the Federal government has no business regulating a
social contract the Constitution is silent on and should be left up to the
People (i.e., States).
And how is allowing gays to marry promoting a "permissive" lifestyle? If anything, it is providing an avenue for gays to conform to the norms of society making it easier to call out the sort of lifestyle many in the gay community have indulged in the past (which in many ways is exactly what we would expect from people who have been systematically rejected and marginalized).
I know you're scared Cynthia, but your marriage is not threatened and extending the benefits of society to those born different than you will make family values stronger.
@Sal – "35 states prohibit gay marriages. The will of the people was completely ignored in this unfortunate ruling. Great letter, Cynthia."
Sal, please explain how the SC ruling strikes down the laws in 35 states?

"... what legal remedies will you support to prohibit people who don't believe in God from marrying?"
You got it backwards, leftbehind. It's not that you have to believe in God to marry. It's that God (actually, Nature's God) designed marriage for one man and one women. For sure, She didn't design it for two (or more) of the same sex. That's just plain silly.
@Tyler D:
"I know you're scared Cynthia, but your marriage is not threatened and extending the benefits of society to those born different than you will make family values stronger."
There is little of no threat to individual's marriage. The threat is to the institution of marriage. If the line is not drawn at one man and one woman, it will not be drawn at all. Any combination of marriage will eventually result. Perhaps even groups will marry... so they can reap Federal benefits of marriage.
As to 'born different'... Almost everyone has some 'differences.' With some concentrated effort, the differences can be ameliorated.

@wrz – "If the line is not drawn at one man and one woman, it will
not be drawn at all."
Your response is entirely fear based and simply has no basis in reality. Our entire legal system is based on drawing lines (e.g., OK to drive 65mph but not 105mph). We do it all the time. The fact that the line gets moved on occasion because our moral sensibilities evolve is something to be celebrated, not feared. If this didn't happen, we would still be stoning people for "witchcraft" and worshipping other gods, not to mention children talking back to their parents.
@wrz – "As to 'born different'... Almost everyone has some 'differences.' With some concentrated effort, the differences can be ameliorated."
You are aware that the largest "reparative therapy" clinic in the country recently shut down citing their virtually 100% failure rate. And they even issued an apology for their past efforts.
And why do you even care about "ameliorating" any non-criminal differences? What's next… "ameliorating" those with blue eyes or who are left handed. Your "concentrated effort" sounds like what goes on in North Korea.
