It's not fair that gays get to have sex with men and do guy stuff, while I'm stuck with a women who just complains about woman stuff all day.

Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

Oh yeah. Well, technically it the Gay Corps of the secret Atheist Army, but we don't let little things like that bother us.

You're post, even if it's correct, does not answer the question.

What's worse, you make those who would agree with you seem immature by association.

You're wasting my time. Grow up.
When children are taught to read, some fight it. They argue it's stupid, and that they'll never need to use it. In the end, if they learn to read with faccility, they'll agree that it vastly improves their lives. They can't really judge the value of it until they've learned to do it. And the ones that still can't do it well continue to insist they don't need it. The same can be said, on all counts, for philosophy.

I would develop and argument that would be logically feasible and make sense to those opposed to same-sex marriage... But this would require killing a large number of neurons...

I'm sorry, but what? I have never heard any real explanation for why "Gay marriage will destroy traditional marriage". I cannot fathom any argument that could possibly justify this position. The lack of evidence is astounding, frankly. Therefore, I must assume that the only logical solution is that the argument is false.

Gay marriage will destroy straight marriage in much the same way that allowing people to practice Islam will destroy someone's faith in Christianity. Some people can't hold onto their own beliefs if they don't have the sense that everyone else agrees with them and lives like they do. People have fought wars over their need to have their faith validated by showing how much their God will support them over those other guys who don't believe what they do. It shouldn't be surprising that some people will also try to keep others from getting legal protections for similar reasons.

And that's why it will destroy marriage. It will undermine the traditional relationship between men and women. It has happened in the Netherlands. Young people are not getting married. When you go in that direction, you confuse the meaning of marriage, and then it is destroyed. The family is destroyed. That is the foundation for Western civilizations, and I tell you it will bring the destruction of this nation and many others if we go in that direction. Mort Kondracke said I'm scary for that reason. Well, OK, Mort, fine, you disagree, but I think you're wrong.

Happy now?

I'm not religious (although I suppose I am, what with pascal's wager and all), and I don't feel comfortable with Gay Marriage. Of course, I think it is dangerous for governments to say "You can't get married because marriage is between a man and woman because God says so"... So, I have mixed feelings. I suppose the government shouldn't outlaw it, but I would feel a bit more comfortable if they came up with another word for it, with the exact same rights as a married straight couple. I think "marriage" is man and woman. I don't know why, maybe I'm just a blind traditionalist, but hey, traditions are good things (unless they are malicious) which is why gay people should be able to get "Larried". :kiss:

Could you go into that a little more? It's not like the market value of marriage will drop on the open market.

Cubic Zerconia tries to look like a real diamond, but really it just ends up hurting the value of real diamonds as it floods the marketplace and to the untrained eye, the flaws of zerconia appear to be the flaws of a diamond..
