That’s precisely the problem. You are a bigot and narrow-minded, only, you
can’t understand that fact and therefore, you think you are not and that
everyone else is wrong.

Merely because I think I’m right doesn’t make me narrow-minded or a bigot. You
think that you’re right and I’m wrong.... As far as accusing me of thinking
that everybody else is wrong, well I think that you have me confused with
Dave! :-)

You compare Gay marriages to brother-sister marriages and group marriages. I
don’t see the connection.
|
I didn’t compare them. I said that if the definition of marriage is expanded
beyond the current one of 1 man and 1 woman, I don’t see how one could
logically argue to ban brother-brother, or sister-sister, or
brother-sister-sister marriages, etc (something which I believe the overwhelming
majority of people-- even those who are in favor of gay couple marriages-- would
find intolerable).
| |
I personnally don’t give a damn about marriage.
|
Hmm, you cared enough to respond...
| |
This is a religious tradition that has little impact in our modern-days life.
|
Only that our entire society in based upon it, but other than that, yeah.

But gays and heteros should have the same privileges, including marriage. As
for bros-sis, well, I couldn’t care less either. Most people accept the fact
that it’s disgusting. I say that between consenting ADULTS (note the
emphasis on adults here), I don’t care if it’s 2 guys, 2 girls, 2 sibblings,
2 different religions or skin colors, etc. If those people love each other
in a romantic way, then let them be happy and shut up with your moral
contestations.
|
I say the same thing. This is an issue of the government recognizing such
“unions”
| |
But knowing what kind of individual some people are, I know i’ll get flamed
to death for saying that, so here, let me give you the match, I’m already
standing on the bonfire and ready.

Nobody is going to light you up for stating your opinion-- you are entitled to
it.

| (...) Oh, give me a frelling break! The world is not coming to an end because 50% of marriages fail, and the world won't come to an end if gays are allowed to *marry*. The society is {not} based on marriage. The Nuclear Family is a farce and a (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
