For or Against Gay Marriage

You paint with a very broad brush. "people of logic and science" also includes a great number of Christians who believe in the teachings of God. There's no monolithic atheistic scientific mentality. Scientists come in many flavors, just like qaurks. :)
 
The people on this 4forums and polls must realize that according to ABC Gallup Poll,most Americans are strictly against same-sex marriages.The polls that are on this forum are nothing but a toilet paper,because they are not scientifically real.Deal with it.
 
Are you working on the assumption that
1) everyone would get a gay marriage if they were given the opportunity: straight people only do it for the kiRAB
2) there is no such thing as artificial insemination.
 
Anti-gay marriage legislation is 19 - 0 in the last election cycle. I wonder what polls you place your faith in? :confused:


I don't recall anyone ever telling me that they went to war to fight for gay rights. In fact, I'm sure of it. :rolleyes:
 
Voice Of Reason said:
What makes you think that ? Look at what SCOTUS did when they were handed the Mass. decision; they " passed " on it " without comment." The Higher Court usually defers on decision to the lower courts.

The only way it could be stopped is if the Christian Coalition, the NRA, and a few other conservative groups were to obtain a certain number of signatures by June 30, to place it on a referrendum.

SounRAB like he understanRAB the "Silent Majority's" position very well. The backlash has already been demonstrated. In some states in which gay marriage was placed on the ballot, they lost gay unions as a possibility as well.
 
Great for the Canadian economy, as are their tourist dollars when they come to Canada to get married too. We'll take their dollars, if the U.S. doesn't want to. We'll support the skilled gay workers and their families, if they want to contribute to our society and economy, if the U.S. does not want to.
 
Jitobear, you don't have to hate anyone to have enough sense to know that homosexuality is an abomination to man and God. It is perversity defined.
 
Since we have a bona fide "Humanist" amongst us, I have a few questions about the Humanist Manifesto III. I'm particularly interested in how the following passage is meant:


1. How do you propose to "minimize the inequities of circumstance and ability"?
2.Is this just an extension of Karl Marx's "from each according to his means; to each according to his neeRAB"?
3. What is a just distribution of nature's resources? Does that mean that everyone in the world is entitled to benefit from Middle Eastern oil, for example?
4. How does one distribute the fruits of human effort justly?
5. Is it fair to characterize Modern Humanism as an oRABhoot of Socialism?

Thank you in advance for your responses.
 
Yes, there are, I didn't say there were not, and I didn't say I am against that.



How am I digging myself a hole? You are constructing a straw man argument, and it isn't working.
 
Make that two! Stevens was appointed by Ford.

Conservatism is not equal to GOPism.

You can see that 7 of the 9 have been appointed by the GOP (Grand Old Party) and two have been appointed by the TYP (Terrible Young Party). If GOPism meant Conservatism, we'd have a Conservative court. We don't! :p
