    Sorry I left off the smiley. I guess it's someone who is in favor of just letting people do whatever feels good to them. So hey, are you in favor of legalizing beastiality or incest too? Where do YOU draw the line? :D

    I suppose we should outlaw one night stands too using your logic... you know, since they feel good and all. I mean one night stands of hetero sex must lead to bestiality and incest too right? Where do YOU draw the line?

    The problem is that you are classifying homo sex as purely hedonistic yet you seem to fail to realize that hetero sex is no less hedonistic which only equally feeds into your flawed slippery slope argument.

    Perhaps you gain no pleasure from sex?

    So what you're telling us is, we need to find a new source of power for him, something that will spare his delicate pate from its role as photovoltaic transistor array and free the contents of his cranium to pursue higher brain function?

    Well, there's always wind power, but to be honest, I'm not sure from which end the most productive winds come from. :D

    Sorry but I have to disagree. Would you still have this same opinion if the voters decided to ban biracial marriages or hell what about denying white couples from marrying?

    This whole issue is jut a bunch of BS and the state should not get involved in this issue .

    Whaaaat? Did you misquote? Do you really mean that the state should not be involved, or the Feds?

    No I did not. I don't believe that the government in any form should decide who can marry who. Everyone should have an equal opportunity to be miserable :p

    The thing is, and it may have been said already, is that you cannot legislate morality.

    Based on numerous sources, be it polls or referendums, the conventional trend is about 70% of the population is against gay marriage, only 30% for.

    This is also were liberal thinking collides with itself. I say liberal thinking only because one of the tent poles of liberalism is rights for gays. If something offends even the smallest minority of the people, say praying at graduation or a sporting event, or having an Indian mascot, the liberals are there to make sure that minority is not offended. But, now, they want to push something that offends a vast majority of the population. They can't have it both ways.

    Also, if you allow gay marriage, do you then allow polygamy? First cousins to marry everywhere? Because, both of those are "wants" by the minority too. If we allow gay marriage to appease the minority, we need to allow those aspects also. Why do we not allow polygamy or marrying first cousins? Because its wrong, based on the conventional wisdom of morality?

    What major problem is present that requires us to allow gay marriage by law? Is it only because they "want" to marry? Not a significant enough problem. A lot of people want to do stuff. Some people want to be free to download and look at child pornography. Some people want to drive 100 mph to work. What significant problem other than just "wanting to" was there that needed to be fixed.

    I am only looking at it from a common sense viewpoint and playing debils advocate.

    I haven't read this whole thread, but isn't marriage a Christian institution? If that's the case, the bible states marriage is to be between one man and one woman.

    Now if two people of the same gender want to share their lives together, wouldn't a civil union accomplish the same thing?

    :confused:

    You do realize the type of country you live in right? Voters get to vote on things. Majority vote wins.

    Personally I totally agree with you. But when you're talking about laws, the lawmakers are supposed to do what the people want. Can't really help it people in NC are stupid but it's their state and their vote and their laws.

    As long as the state issues marriage licenses it's a state issue. The state doesn't care about the type of ceremony, most places I think it's merely a case of having the paperwork notarized and you're married.

    chuckbear Totally radical, bro.

    Tell that to the Churches that perform gay marriages.

    That whole thing.

    Oh, and Christians aren't the only ones getting married.

    How about you worry about accomplishing what you want to accomplish and they'll worry about them. Gay marriage changes nothing for anyone but those gay people getting married. Why do you care? How do you feel about separate water fountains for black people? It accomplishes the same thing, right? They still have their water fountain.
