Re: Reply to Rhain from other thread
That's like saying paedophilia is only illegal because of paedophiliac bigots. It doesn't answer the question.
What the @#$# does paedophilia have to do with homosexual marriage. A large number of paedophiles aren't even homosexual. Paedos come in all shapes sises colors, religious affiliations and sexual prefs. You're ideology is factless.

Re: Remediation in English
The only point I am making is that bigotry is wrong. Personnally I don't care whether homosexuals can marry or not. My point is the way it is given, civil unions, when not listed as marriage, deny the union certain rights given to those legally married.

Re: Remediation in English
In any case, the argument concerning homosexual marriage is one of asking whether or not it hurts society.
So if it hurts society, how? It what way does the marriage of John & Jim or Jane & June affect society.

I thought that the military is weary of gays because they don't want people having sex in the barracks, but I don't know.
FliesOnly writes: Yeah...cuz them crazy homos just try to fuck every guy they see. And yet you claim not to be a homophobic bigot.
The main reason is archaic (The military is a very conservative organization) that homosexuals try to screw all other people of the same sex, thus a lack of order. Having spent nearly 30 years in the military, I saw this numerous times.

They could also try to change the way that it is decided who the person who makes those decisions is. Just sayin'. They could do that, or introduce civil unions, or prolly some other things that I've failed to think of.
FliesOnly writes: So you're shootin for the whole "Separate but equal" thing. Hmmmm, not too original and already addressed as being Unconstitutional. So better yet, why not just call it marriage since, after all, that's what it fucking is?
I agree

And don't we basically know the loci for skin pigmentation? So, if anything, I guess we're closer to a cure for being born black than we are for being born gay. Should we fix that one for you Hoot Mon? I mean, who in their right mind would want to be born black when they could be born white instead?
That's probably the most bigoted post on this thread. Shame on you! Your fallacy flag is flapping on the pole. Gays and blacks are like penguins and Chevorlets: they are not at all comparable.I guess I find it stunning to the point of disbelief that anyone in this day and age could seriously consider even for a millisecond that homosexuality is a choice.
I feel that FO was being sarcastic ref his statement before your quote:

I agree, why would anyone want to be a homosexual and be denied rights and be attacked by right-winged bigots and even be killed, in the name of God, by even more right-winged fanatics.

Re: One of us is blind, and it ain't me
But you won't look at the evidence. You can't see the evidence. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE EVIDENCE! Perhaps the key question here is WHY you can't handle the evidence. It suggests to me that you have a strong bias against the traditional majority. You want not only to steal the apples but also to upset the cart. And yet you want the traditional majority to say it's OK for you to "marry" your sweetheart, Ralph.
What evidence. You have supplied none. How does gay marriage affect the marriage of John & Jane? How does gay marriage affect social security?

Re: One of us is blind, and it ain't me
Case #1: John, who is 80 and dying, wants to give his friend Jane, who is healthy but poor, his SS benefits when he passes away. So they get married just in time to make that happen.
Case #2: Chuck, who is 80 and dying, wants to give to his friend Larry, who is healthy but poor, his SS benefits when he passes away. So they get "married" just in time to make that happen, owning to some special law that says "same-sex marriage" should be honored by the SS system.
Conclusion: The SS system will be worse off when Chuck and Larry dip their stinkin' fingers into it.
So then why don't we just make all marriage illegal so Social security won't be affected at all.

Re: What about gay marriage
The same thing with same sex marriage. That law although legal is invalid. It contradicts the law of nature. Phsiologically, the sex organs of male and female were made for each other. Too, these are designed for procreation.
Show me how they were designed. And even if there normal function is procreation, how does it contradict a law of nature, when there are very few if any scientific theories that can be construed as 100% fact.
