Gay Marriage Legalized In France

[Agymnum]

(no pleasure sensations for me, apparently).

I feel sorry for you.

I would feel sorry for me, too, except that I have no idea what sexual sensations feel like and thus have no idea what I'm missing out on.

Much like how a crack addict feels bad that others cannot experience crack, but the people who don't take crack don't feel so bad because they have no idea what taking crack feels like.

I don't thinks ex is comparable to crack.

I never hurled the word bigot. I merely pointed out that separation of church and state nullifies any religious explanation for not legalizing gay marriage.

I didnt mean you, also a cast away phrase from a more than 200 year old letter, that is often used out of context is nullifacation?

The nullification you're thinking of is the state's rights concept, which I maintain to be outdated. The Civil War settled that states do not have rights and that federal authority supersedes state authority.

I meant nullifies as in "cancels out".

[The Marxist State]

Legitimizing homosexuality will lead to lower birth rates.

HOW! NO ONE who makes this argument has been able to provide a SINGLE piece of evidence for this from any of the many states and countries that have legalized marriage, let alone a decent explanation.

And, as I have said, it will open the floodgates of more morally depraved behavior (legalized incest, polygamy, pederasty, zoophilia, etc.)

And as everyone else has said, this is a fucking stupid argument because.
A. Incest has very clear negative effects are far as health goes.
B. What's wrong with polygamy if all parties are consenting?
C. Children can't give consent to marriage.
D. FOR GOD'S SAKE ANIMALS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF GIVING CONSENT

Well, in a way, the states have rights, just not sovereign rights since the Federal government can supercede them.

[Condunum]

Do you just enjoy saying stupid things, or is it by accident?

I assume it sounds stupid by accident I guess.

Because it is stupid.

If the States dont have have all of the States that have legalized except for Washington have to repeal it. Also yes they do just read the 10th Amendment.

No it's not in that case your opinion is stupid.

My apologies. States rights usually is taken to indicate states have some sort of right to resist the law of the federal government, which I feel is wrong. The states have the obligation to follow federal law, otherwise we'd have anarchy as states would just ignore laws they didn't agree with. What kind of union would that be, then?

No it's not in that case your opinion is stupid.

Well, if everyone thinks your statement sounds stupid, and you even admit it sounds stupid, that's probably because it is stupid. Just saying.

The only Being I love is God and the Trinity He is in.

And therefore, that gives you an excuse to act like a complete prick towards people whose "lifestyle choices" you don't agree with? Does that give you an excuse to support the denial of rights to other people on the basis of a religion where even it's adherents support this? I know plenty of Christians who support LBGT rights and there are a surprising amount of churches where I live who are perfectly happy to marry homosexuals. So you cannot hide behind the veil of religion any longer.

The sinner at least has the possibility of being redeemed from their ways.

Right, because apparently homosexuals choose to be who they are because they like pissing off people like you? Does that mean I choose to have Aspergers Syndrome?

Most that I've seen have been.

Ooh, so therefore you interacting with a select group of people is therefore proof of all heterosexual

The ones that haven't been are the result of two people blindly following their emotions without proper knowledge.

Right, because it's do God damn easy predicting what people would do. You can so totally tell someone is a violent person from looking at them.

Divorce wouldn't be necessary if people didn't blindly follow their emotions into one only later to find out they made a mistake.

Because it's do Goddamned easy to tell if someone is a cheater or is a violent person.

Abuse falls into that category; a person should know that the other individual is abusive before getting married, otherwise it's their fault.

So abuse victims had it coming? Jesus Fucking Christ, you didn't just fucking say that, did you? So, if you were my partner and I beat the living shit out of you, it'd be your fault because you had it coming.

Holy shit. How low can this argument get? And you claim to be on the "moral" high-ground. There's nothing moralistic about supporting domestic abuse.

Foolish for sticking to their guns?

Foolish for thinking that you can win an argument with me.

I would be apt to think that those that don't are the fools.

Don't use words if you don't know what they mean.

First, I find it humorous that you are trying to shame me into silence. Now, to address your points.
1. Those Christians prefer to focus solely on the love part rather than the institutional part of marriage. It should be a balance, and my own belief is toward the latter rather than the former.
2. Nothing to refute.
3. To the educated person, someone's habits and traits should make it obvious. But, when blinded by petty emotion, the logic tends to go out the window.
4. Ties in to three; they don't deserve it, believe me, but because they didn't plan for it, then it is unfortunate. I wouldn't support domestic abuse at all.
5./6. What you call an argument I would prefer to call 'verbal shaming.' But, to each his own.

[Condunum]

Because it is stupid.

No it's not in that case your opinion is stupid.

How? I didn't even give one.
Oh, you mean the one I implied, where I believe you're wrong, and two men can love each other as much as a man and a woman?

Nope, not stupid. Completely true.

[New Libertarian States]

Because it is stupid.

No it's not in that case your opinion is stupid.

Why?

[Costa Alegria]

Legitimizing homosexuality will lead to lower birth rates.

And do you have proof? Japan hasn't legalised gay marriage and it's birth rate has been declining for decades.

And as for other mammals with homosexuality, they only serve to augment my argument that they do not contribute to the procreation of their species, and are thus nothing but defects.

God created all animals. Therefore, God created animals with homosexuality. And if God created man in his image, therefore he might have had a fabulous side himself. After all, if he is such a benevolent and all-loving God, I can't imagine that his image is reflected in people like you.

Oh, and as for homosexuals being defects, I suggest one looks in the mirror. I think ultra-religious people have some sort of defect in that they believe the most abhorrent bullshit.

So, since France legalized gay marriage, following US foreign policy, we need to invade Belgium.

Clearly, this is the only logical course of action left to us to prevent the Great Gay Horde from taking over global cheese markets.

[Wazkyraque]

Huh, I thought France had already legalized it. Either way, Good on France!

Mind not threadjacking to get around your stupid comments?

Belgium hasn't legalized it either?
.-.
That's odd, considering that their president is fabulously homosexual.
