Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Both you and fez are wrong, because it's called "an opinion". You may think homosexuality is a disease, however several others may disagree with you. I'm assuming you think every animal on this planet has a mental disease if they display homosexual traits, no?

What is normal (as some may have asked earlier in this thread)? A guy having sex with another man may be considered common practice to some. I don't buy the "evil gay slippery slope conspiracy". The notion that once gays are able to marry, they will want more and more until our country is ran by a bunch of ninnies. Why are you so afraid of homosexual marriage and why are you disgusted by it? Hell, are you even affected by it? Normal is such a broad and subjective term and means things to different people.

What is your version of normal, beef?

I would hope that normal is described as some characteristic shared by the majority of some faction of a population. So yes, i suppose that if in a homosexual commuity, a straight guy is an aberration.

Not only you. ;) :)As far as I know only humans and dolphins practice sex for pleasure. However, I can confirm that the masturbation thing.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Normal is the way nateure made us. Homo Sapians, heck all animals are primarily created purely to keep their breed alive. It is our primary instinct. How people can be Gay, I don't know; but bieng gay is far from normal and natural.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

My personal oppinion I think Marrage should be between man and woman. If gay people want something like marrage with the same benifits call it something els like coupling. Marrage is something special shared between man and woman. And western civilization has embraced that for many years. Why would gay people want to change that? Its a straight custom. I don't want to change any of their customs. Why not let us have our own thing and keep it special??

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Everybody is special in their own special way (if that doesn't contradict itself).
However, i don't think the term 'marriage' should be extended to homosexuals.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

But gay people are humans as well. They developed this way, therefore it is normal and natural. Beat that argument. :naughty:Why keep it "special"? Same benefits and we are arguing about a freakin' NAME??? There must be more behind this request.

Appeal to Common Practice
Appeal to Tradition

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Believe it or not some people do find it a special thing.

I was just trying to find an alternative that some people might agree on.

If you think different from traditional people you probably won't stop complaining until you get what you want anyways right?

This is bullsh*t straight people created marrage and gays want it. We don't want to give it up because many hold it sacred. You know what? We are real pricks I hate us straight people... How dare we want something of our own. All the nerve...


Im done with this thread.

P.S. oh yes you said there must be more behind this request. Im planning on taking over the world just so you know...

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Everything is in the name here. Marriage is a RELIGOUS practice, and tuhs RELIGON should have the sole say on who can and can't be married. Can you imagine how angry you would get if you created a pagan or atheist holiday and called it Christmas or Easter or some other religous name?

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Interesting.Is that a generalization?...

And actually, I'm not gay, but thanks for asking. :banana:

Although I fail to see how my sexual preference is important to this debate.Who are you talking to? To us or to yourself? Simply stop posting. ;)

You're pretty good at sarcastically avoiding an argument.
