For or Against Gay Marriage

Did you ever stop to consider that it's not that I disrespect women, but I repect life more?

Once again:


Only 21.3% gave economic reasons and 6.1% gave health reasons. The rest can be classified as selfish reasons, to one degree or another.

Prior to the 1996 Welfare Reform it did.

................................
My God - what was I thinking getting off welfare, busting my ass for that degree and getting a job that pays more 7 times what I got the few months used welfare?! :rolleyes:

Yadda, yadda, yadda...... Yeah, all of the people I know drive around in limos and nobody was ever raised by a single Mom.....except for when my father died at age 46, leaving my mom with 4 kiRAB to raise by herself. No Welfare, no food stamps, just a lot of work. :rolleyes:
 
I do not see any serious reason why gay couples should not marry if they so choose to do so.

Marriage as far as the law is concerned is a legal contract between two adults.

Those who are opposed to gay marriage- well dont have one.

The problem seems to come from some cultural notions with the word "marriage" between religious sects as well as those who do not practice a religion yet are influenced by their religious past.

One should note that marriage has evolved over the years at one time is was nothing more than a barter system, because women were simply regarded as property.

It is hardly a matter that should concern various religions, because those religions that disapprove of gay marriage will more than likely not allow the use of their ministers or buildings.

The real question that society should be asking is should gay couples have equal rights to a marriage contract as do heterosexuals? The answer is of course they should.
 
Why stop there? Let's get the government out of social institutions all together. No SS, Medicare, Medicaid, AA, Welfare, Food Stamps, the whole 9 yarRAB.
 
Your question is heavily loaded with emotive plea. Two brothers may love each other unconditionally for example. They may or may not be sexually involved with one another,... "should" they be permitted to marry?

I've read many responses claiming that marriage is not about sex or making babies,... so on what basis (if any) would you deny two brothers or two sisters the "right" to marry each other?



I neither claim that gay marriage negatively impacts anything,... nor do I see what others are getting at when they raise the spector about it.



Well there you have it. Pretty much what I said too.

They no they have no argument when it comes to this..........Both a father and a mother are role models, a mother cannot be a role model like a father and vice versa...........



can you expound on that? The subject of this thread deals with gay marriage and the RCC is against is and I am in step with them....... :confused:

How true, Tony. There are little things called "wills" which will set aside survivor benefits, and many of the Fortune 500 companies are willing to comply, regarding insurances, IRA's, and 401K's.
 
Thank you for repeating it again so clearly.

Given that no-one's religion should be a basis for law, what other factors affect your position on same-sex marriage?

Aside from your religious objections to same-sex marriage, what else is objectionable about it?
 
No. Both would be wives. One wife, two wives. It's an English thing. Sort of like locus and loci; one leaf, two leaves; or like one fish, two fish, several species of fishes. Plurals are confusing sometimes.





That appears to be part of the problem here. We're speaking English. If we were speaking Swedish, you'd be right...but we're not!




When one completely dismisses the mass problem and says it should be his way, I'd call that self-centered.

You're correct. I shouldn't have assumed you're gay. Gays are wanting to blend in (and go unrecognized).

That's what debate is about. I disagree with what you said, you disagree with what I said. He said. She said. They said. Everybody has something to say.



Then why are you arguing for the word to be applied to gay couples?


If two males live next door and call themselves a married couple, I'll certainly suspect they're gay. If they live next door as roommates, I'll never know one way or the other. (You seem to be making my argument.)
 
Interestingly in Canada the Supreme Court took a look at the argument that in permitting same-sex marriage we opened the door to polygamy, bestiality, incest, and so on, and dismissed it because discrimination on the basis of sexuality was against the Charter and discrimination the basis of number, species, relation, and so on wasn't.
 
I don't love abortion - I hate it. I just understand why it exists and that reduction will only come when we address the reasons why. You, on the other hand, don't really care about babies or the women who carry them, you just like to pretend your holier than God.

The Bible I read is in plain English, a language I comprehend quite well. Romans not matching or justifying your homophobia is YOUR problem, not mine or the Bible's. Since I would be willing to bet dollars to pesos you did not actually go read anything - here you go.

Romans 2:1-4

1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leaRAB you toward repentance?
 
On another issue not related to this topic, I wanted to say how nice it is to have clean air again in this Polls forum.

From what I hear, considerable gas was released by MA's side-kick on another
thread in this section.
 
Keep dreaming. I was referencing the votes in not only Maine, as you selectively isolated, but Washington and Kalamazoo.



Then go away and don't come back.
 
For. We've brought in civil partnerships in the UK, and hopefully they'll gain the same terminology, as well as legal equality which they already have. There is simply no reason to stop two people making this choice together.
