No thanks. Not really interested in snail reproduction system. It does not pertain. Get back to me when a couple of backseat boogie boyz have their first child. :)
You can compare apples and oranges if you want to..... or in this case humans to fruits.

You were taught? By whom, your parents, kindergarten teacher or your sports coach, how many decades ago?
Hell, I always thought that an adult would've found out by now that one can reflect upon issues by oneself instead of passively repeating what others have put in its head....
It is called forming an opinion on something and you can do it all by yourself! Might want to try it for once.

You know, as long as they're adults and not harming anyone, live and let live.  Homosexuality isn't exclusive to humans.  It's not my seen by any stretch of the imagination.  And I also don't want someone else telling me what I can or can not do in my bedroom just because they don't like it or makes them uncomfortable.

i'd weigh the opinion on marriage by someone who's been through one(or more) more than someone who ain't ever given it a shot (i'm guessing).

chair.... it is the people who want to legalize gay marriage that are the ones that want to expand government.

It is not just the going to the courthouse and getting the paperwork...  it is the way that taxes are paid and it is the myriad of federal and state laws that apply to married people.

If you want gay marriage then you want to expand government.  

On another note... interracial marriage is nothing like gay marriage... Children are allways the difference.   I did not set the government rewards in place.   I would have no taxes if it were up to me but...

since we do have taxes and there is a system.... I think hetrosexual marriage is a good thing and should be "rewarded" by less extorting of moneys (taxes).  

I see no reason to lessen or marginalize hetro marriage by allowing gays or dogs or whatever to marry.  

Gay marriage only expands government and costs us all money for.... for what?   and if we make hetro marriage even more meaningless.... is that a good thing?   Hardly.

Like I said.. the only people who come out in this are the lawyers and the politicians.

Let hetros have their marriage.... the gays need to find something else.

What gay folks do is of little moment or concern to me.  If they want to go though a ceremony and call it anything they want I think its just ... fabulous.

If however one accepts gay marriage as a cultural and legal institution by what logic can one exclude polygamy/polyandry?  Polygamy has much stronger cultural and historical claims to the institution than gay unions.

At that juncture the term "marriage" starts to become so diluted as to be essentially meaningless.  Say, that wouldn't be the ultimate objective here would it?  Nah.

The main thing that is diluting the term "Marriage" is divorce.

You people that think of "Normal" as anything more than a Z score are freaks.


Normal, wow what a great word  :rofl

You know in my Town awhile back a Transsexual wanted to goto the highschool that she is required by law to goto.  Apprently some people thought she wasn't 'normal' enough.


And another thing ... the govemenrt doesn't ALLOW you to do anything, they only PREVENT you form doing things.  Amazeing what permissive 'men' some of you guy are   :p

Marriage should defintely be abolished when it comes to law and goverment. It would stop the crying from both sides.
