    Thats kind of an open end question there isnt it Questerr? If I I asked you to Kill me, Would that consent be enough for you to not do jail time?


    Not a religious guy, so you're barking up the wrong tee wiht your rhetoric.

    Nope it is you who are flat wrong. The term "marriage" conveys an instant meaning to anyone hearing it. That meani ng was Man and Woman, or Husband and Wife...noone ever immediately popped back..oh the White Man thing?

    fail.


    This is what has now changed. if you hear someone is Married...now you dont instantly know what they have at home. The definition has lost it's meaning.

    do you support siblings (2 consenting adults) from getting married, too? or is it just the pet minority groups YOU approve of?

    Again, for a time that changed. And people assumed of the same race as part of that. Now it has changed again. Fail on your part.

    It must suck for you that you are being left behind the times and are considered just like those against interracial marriage are.

    If they are consenting adults, I see no reason why the government should be restricting their actions.

    and the suicide rate amoung gays shows the same thing for gays... that there is psychological damage being done Yet, it's "homophobic" to point that out.


    gambling also has psychological affects, sometimes very negative.... however, I'm not against that.


    Why is it you support choice for gay adults, but not incestuous adults? Are you waiting for some movie stars to start coming out and tell you it's ok to support them, before you will support them.?

    LOL...youc an keep going down your list of rhetoric about race....but it fails.

    Noone ever responed back about race if asked what Marriage was. You dont seem to grasp the concept of the Instant Meaning conveyed by certain words.

    The fundamental meaning was changed. It's not even arguable.

    The psychological damage to gays comes from people like you, not from gays themselves. If someone spent everyday telling you that you were a monster who deserved to be tortured forever you would probably have problems with depression too.

    It's homophobic because you automatically come to the conclusion that it is because they are gay that's the problem. No, it's how society treats them that has made the suicide rate higher for homosexuals. If you were constantly told how worthless you are I would wager it would have an affect on you.

    Yes and gambling is illegal in most states.

    And you have just proven that you are not interested in any honest debate and only insult and incite. This is why your side lost and continues to lose because you don't even understand the arguments.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes they did, when interracial marriages were banned people did assume marriage was between a man and woman OF THE SAME RACE.

    Again fail on your part. Even my grandmother when she was alive was against interracial marriages and referred to two people of the same race.

    Continue to fail, I don't really care. Your side has become that of those that wanted interracial bans and I hope you get treated just like they do now.

    Still failing and trying to tie it to race lol. While this was on the books in some areas, you could have pulled aside a thousand people and said what is a Marriage...all would have said a Husband and Wife.

    None would have replied White as an instant response.

    Certain words bring instant recognition.

    Say Ice...people think cold.
    Say Fire...people think hot.

    Say marriage...people think Husband and Wife.

    The fail is all yours, and the overplayed race comparison.

    Why is it anyone's business if it leads to polygamy? Don't like polygamy? Don't be a polygamist. Also, the "word of God" is completely irrelevant.

    But shouldn't you support it? Afterall, why would their love be any less meaningful than someone elses?

    Not during interracial marriage bans. The fail is still on your part. Things change, get used to it.

    Sorry it wasn't. I have heard people talk about their thoughts on that during the time have you? Enjoy getting treated like those that were against interracial bans you deserve it.

    Ben Carson is right but that doesn't change anything. The government has no business determining who and how many consenting adults decide to marry. Pro-gay marriage advocates who denied that this would happen were either lying or just clueless about how things work. You don't get to literally tear to shreds the definition of marriage which used to be one man and one woman but then turn around and say "Well, it only applies to MY situation." They tried to replace one onerous and oppressive definition of marriage with an entirely new onerous and repressive definition of marriage.

    Sure you have..lol. Talking to a couple people here and there , and probably never testing their instant responses to words isnt going to seal this one up for you.

    Nope, I don't....but I'm not the one who put myself out on that limb by supporting validating the Gay ones either. Thats you and your crowd. Now you guys have to find a way to draw some lines without looking like hypocrites.

    It's fun to watch.

    Incestuous marriages are not allowed
    It has to do with facts and science ( foreign, unfamiliar things to gay haters)and what the products (children) of incestuous relationships can be.


    It has nothing to do with being gay.....

    Why don't we ban marriages between unrelated people who have a high probability of transferring diseases or defects to their children?

    I would like to ban those people from having children, married or not. What a gawdawful thing to do to a kid!

    But I acknowledge that not everyone feels that way and they want the freedom to reproduce and , unfortunately they have it. I have NO burning desire to restrict them.

    The same with incestuous relationships (unless one is under age)...

    96.4% of adults engage in heterosexual sex. The numbers support the use of the words

    Who is restricting anyones actions? We are talking about tax breaks and governmental entilements, not restricting anyones actions or freedom.
