I was riding my dirtbike with a buddy who didn't have health insurance and we thought that if same sex marriages were allowed then we could get married so he could get on my health insurance plan at work.
Funny that you and I both had the same thought. I was ice skating with my best friend and enjoying our last night together before we had to split and go back to our schools when we both thought of getting married after we both graduate to reap the rewards of tax benefits. When we were living together as undergrads, we were already acting like we were married. People often express their surprise that we're not dating and have never even dated.
I don't have to marry another guy to do this. I could simply do it with my friend (a gal).

I'd bet there's some evil business men who are thinking of ways they could use marriage to unite businesses to make more money or something, kinda like kings used to use it to unite territories.
I'm sorry, how is this an argument against gay marriage? If kings and queens did it in the past, and I'm pretty sure evil business men and women do it nowadays, wouldn't this be an argument against straight marriage?

That's not the question. The question the court will be addressing is:

Why is this even an issue? I'm having a hard time understanding why this question needed to be addressed at all.
Nowadays, Afro-Americans (for the purposes of being PC, I will call them black people from now on) do have a choice to change their skin color to white. Ahem Michael Jackson cough cough. And since it was traditional since long before this country was founded that marriage was between a man and a woman of the same race, perhaps we should change back to the good old days when it was criminal to marry someone outside your own race?

Not really... DOMA doesn't specifically outlaw any marriages.
There are alternative ways to say something without actually saying it. For example, I could say everyone but the guy whose user name is Catholic Scientist with an avatar of someone on a bike is not a twit. At this point, you might say "hey, why did you just call me a twit?" But if you look again, I didn't actually spell out you were a twit.

Straight people are not allowed to marry people the same sex either, and gay people are not prohibited from marry people of a differnt sex. The law does apply equally to everyone.
Wow, someone on this forum actually uses this argument. I honestly thought I would only see this type of argument on a forum like teens4christ and other immature fundamentalist websites.
By your logic, black people weren't discriminated against during segregation because white people couldn't drink out of black people's fountains, white kids had to go to white schools, etc. which meant everyone was treated equally.
