    Why do you think asking irrelevant questions makes you less wrong?

    I don't think that it will make me less wrong or right. It's just a question - a question which you are too scared to answer. :roflol:

    I don't have any obligation to address irrelevant questions or arguments. You think you fool people with this trolling game of questions you like to play. You do not fool anyone.

    Of course you don't! I'm giving you the opportunity to defend your position, but you are simply not able to! :roflol:

    No, I CHALLENGE them. And they are unable to deal with it! :roflol:

    If your marriage is so weak that hearing about a gay couple getting married destroys it you we weren't seriously a family from the start. That's on you.

    Prove that outside of a religious context. After all, all types of marriage have been part of one society or another throughout time. This includes any type of polygamy, same sex marriages, blood related marriages, ghost marriages, and a host of others.

    Reproduction is definitely important — but how does “Joshua marrying Noah” stop the heterosexuals that live across the street from having children?

    I hope that you're not expecting a reasonable and rational answer. Not only does Joshua marrying Noah” not stop Jack and Jill from having a kid. Joshua and Noah can also have a kid. The species will go on. Same sex marriage is not even on the list of things that threaten our existence.

    Na, I don’t — that ship sailed a while ago and is subsequently sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

    It is interesting to watch anti-gay posters twist themselves into a pretzel (if they have the integrity to even hazard an answer) to such simple questions that completely dismantle their arguments.

    Probably why same sex marriage support went from 27% to 72% in less than a generation

    I always had a slight problem with SSM as far as such couples getting the same government benefits as non SSM with the logic that the state have a good solid reason to encourage solid and stable families that are the main providers of the next generation of our children.

    But all in all such feelings on my part is not worth the other costs of not granting equal benefits to all couples.

    That's nice. But why do you think that same sex couples do not form "solid and stable families"? You are aware of the fact that the states that tried to prohibit same sex marriage failed miserably in court because e-for the most part- were unable to convince the court that there was a compelling government/societal interest in doing so, or even a rational basis ?

    Sorry I did not made myself clear it would be my position is that the state have an inherent interesting in promoting stable mixed sex marriages that is not there for same sex marriages due the families with children are mainly repeat mainly mixed sex couples.

    Not that one relationship is more or less stable or superior then the other.

    The logical hole in this argument is that we allow for families of 2 to form with no next generation, and even with no potential for a next generation from said couple. Two 90 year olds can get married, and there is no way that a new generation will come out of that. Solid family units, from 2 to 20 or more, are good for society overall. Children are not needed to be a requirement for such. The next generation will arrive regardless.

    I'm with Patriot, this made no sense. Are you using a voice to text program, maybe?

    No logic hole at all as the statement that for the vast times it is the mixed sex couples that have children in the middle of their relationship not gay couples therefore the society as a whole have far more reason to care and to support such couples.

    Do not forget the single people was sold the idea that married couples would paid less taxes to the government and get more benefits due to them on the whole having the task of raising the next generation.

    same sex couple also have children, as well as opposite sex couples never having children. And in all the same manner. Is there a law that requires that a legally married couple only beget children via sex between the two of them? No. Therefore, how such children are created is up to the couple in question. Be it from inside the marriage, or outside. And plenty of opposite sex couples have used outside resources, such as sperms donors and surrogate mothers.

    This would be a valid objection of marriage required the ability or intention to procreate. However, it does not. An infertile opposite sex couple that is married is identical to a same sex couple that is married.
