   The definition of marriage is the union of one man and one women.

A definition. NOT The definition. This point seems lost on you.

What is your point? Don’t be such a coward. Define it!

   Which is why you lose the debate. By definition.

You mean by changing definition.

Merriam-Webster: marriage: (2) the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage

Foul ball (counts as Strike one). You are using the term “marriage” to mean “traditional marriage”, which has the definition you are looking for.

Encarta: marriage: 1. legal relationship between spouses: a legally recognized relationship, established by a civil or religious ceremony, between two people who intend to live together as sexual and domestic partners

Strike two. But then, Encarta is part of the Evil Empire (no definitions under marriage for Encarta mention either man or woman).

Devil’s: Marriage: The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.

Saved! Kinda...sorta....so, you are the Devil’s Advocate? :-)

(...) Speaking of changing definitions-- I wonder how old that definition is! (...) Okay, can't you see how wrong and biased that is! Astonishing! (Evil indeed;-) (...) You green-eyed bigot! :-) Why do you draw the limit at 2??? How do you feel (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
