I guess you didn't follow the midterms, moron.

Oh, an internet tough guy. You get off on calling people morons, from behind the safety of your computer.

Well, color me impressed! You've clearly demonstrated how wrong both homosexuality and homosexual marriage - and hey, anal sex too - are, just by blurting out "moron" at the end of every post. Thank God for you!

that's the second time in 5 minutes you've used the word "moron".

do you actually believe people vote against gay marriage because they think if gays can't get married they'll stop having sex?

Whoever believes that must be as stupid as you are.
No, that's not the point and anyone with half a brain knows that.You don't see us letting people get away with murder(literally) just because more people are going to be murdered down the road, do you? That's counter-productive to the cause, brainbox. You're sending people a signal.

Then let me repeat my question. If people aren't voting down gay marriage out of a misguided belief that no gay marriage means no gay sex....what, exactly, does voting down gay marriage have to do with sex?

Yes, lets look at it.

I can see at least...three places on a woman's body a penis fits. Four usually.

Five if we're getting creative.
:confused: only five?
Six if she's had one of those operations that smokers sometime get when they have throat cancer.
that's rather dangerous... after all, she could drown since that leads straight to the lungs.
Vagina, ass, mouth, tits, eyesocket. That's five.
eyesocket? you have a woman keeping an eye out for you?!?

I would've though back of the elbows, back of the knees, (after all, you do include between the breasts... so bending the elbows and knees would also work...) armpits, hands... but is Arthais101 counting hands, elbows and knees each as one or two... left and right?

Sure it is. It's self-murder AKA suicide. It's a compulsion to do something that you are aware of is very detrimental to your health. It's the repeated ignoring of basic health skills and risk factor assessment.

i completely agree. governments should only recognize civil unions; leave religious unions to churches. it seems like a reasonable arrangement that all parties could accept. you go to the government to get your civil union papers. and then you go to a church to get your religious union papers. with respect to the government, the terms for 'marriage' should be univocal. call it a civil union. then different churches or secular humanist organizations can offer their own language, marriage or whatever.
Changing legislation is time-consuming and very resource-expensive. I see no reason why governments and tax-payers should be put to the time and expense of changing the language in legislation just to pander to the pathos of some group or groups who expedct they have a right to hold the rest of us to ransom.

Why should some group dictate to the whole how a common birth-right gets administered? Marriage belongs to humanity not to some special interest group like a religion. If a religious group doesnt like the social institution of marriage, they need not involve themselves. I wont be held to ransom and dictated to by some group who threatens theft but calls it a compromise.

lets count...
Vagina, ass, mouth, tits, Knees, Elbows, Armpits, Hands, Feet (yes, I saw a vid on feet fettish...) and oddly enough... between the legs.

A historical freak of a friend of mine once said that the old Roman/Greeks who were homosexuals did not penetrate the anus, but only rubbed themselves between the clenched thighs of their lovers... where he got that information, I don't want to know... but I can see it being done on a woman who doesn't want the penetration but still wants to... er... "simulate sex" so that's 10 so far... and then we can get into the realm of the really creative areas such as...

oh and let me add this:

Conservatives did prevail in seven states where voters approved constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage, though CBS News political analyst Sam Best notes that they didn’t pass with as great of a margin as such bans did in 2004.

"We’re getting closer to 50-50," he says. "It seems to suggest that people are warming to the idea."

banning gay marriage is LOSING support, not gaining it.

And let's not forget another event in 2006, the constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage never making it out of congress.

Since when has homosexuality become something that must be "corrected" and something to look down upon? Love is love, no matter who, or what, it's with. I may be straight, but I believe that homosexuals deserve to be with one another in marriage and out of marriage. Besides, marriage is basically a legal binding between the two people, legal, not holy. Now, in an emotional and spiritual sense, sure, it may be holy in that sense, but, right now, church and state are not supposed to mix, even though they do, anyway, they shouldn't mix, yet, this debate over the marriage of homosexuals is contradicting the seperation of church and state.

If this point has already been debated over, than, my apollogies, for I only read the first few posts.

oh, I could send you a list... Though most folks (including me) will just stick with the basic 3 (or 4...or 5 if we count hands as a place).
... I think we covered them all... I'm not interesting in some of the creative spots CthulhuFhtagn suggested...

I feel like I'm stuck on a carousel with a bunch of whiny idiots.and now you know the problem of arguing religion to people who
1) don't share your beliefs
2) don't care for your beliefs... or show you as much though for your beliefs as you showed them

and you now experieced the futility of arguing religion and beliefs on an internet forum.

arguing religion here is like peeing in black pants... sure it can give you a warm feeling, but in reality, no one really notices and in the end, it leaves you cold.

Well. In a secular state, the state cannot recognise religious terminological definitions as that would be a break with church-state separation. In fact, so far as the state is concerned; god does not exist and must therefore act accordingly on that assumption.

Some will therefore claim that marriage is the binding of two people legally of the opposite sex. (Sounds so clinical, doesn't it). But I pose the question? Why did you marry your wife/husband? Was it because they were a woman/man? Or was it because you loved them? And hypothetically speaking, if you loved a person of the same sex, would you wish for your government to afford an alternative recognition rather than the same recognition to that love? As if that love was not good enough; that it didn't stand as highly as heterosexual love!

Isn't legal apartheid nice, eh?

Why do you care who gets married to who?

It doesn't effect your life in any way.




I read your post up until you said the word 'God'

At this point, I'm going to tell you to shut the fuck up in as polite a manner as possible.

Give me one good reason that your belief in God should dictate the life of anyone but you.

How ironic. You should take your own advice about "Why do you care" re: God. There is also no polite way to say "shut the fuck up".

I have a feeling this is going towards the same sort of "uber-thread" status as that "Nazi/Israel" thread that Soviestan set up.

"Homosexuality, is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments just as philosophy is regarded as shameful by them, because it is apparently not in the interest of such rulers to have great ideas engendered in their subjects, or powerful friendships or passionate love-all of which homosexuality is particularly apt to produce." -Plato

That's all I have to say. *nod*

So, if gays marry, they'll also be married before God. Everyones happy and if God isn't, he'd smite the gayness.
