That's where you're losing people. Just because I think you should be able to do it, doesn't mean that I support it. I think people should be able to indulge in whatever drug they use, doesn't mean I smoke rocks. Stop being so black and white about everything. Some people just don't care to expend the energy on crap that they don't care about.

That's a rather individualistic attitude - I don't subscribe to that.
One of the things I struggle to reconcile with American concepts of liberty is that in a society an individual doesn't exist in a vacuum and their actions have consequences for other people, even if extremely indirect.
And with that I've alienated virtually every neoliberal conservative in the USA from my viewpoint.

Also, as I stated, if you believe incestuous couples should be able to marry then we fundamentally believe that marriage is for differing purposes and no amount of arguing will see us reach a resolution.
I came across this a while back and save it to my comp because I thought it represented my views well:
"Some argue that the link between marriage and procreation is not as strong as it once was, and they are correct. Until recently, the primary purpose of marriage, in every society around the world, has been procreation. In the 20th century, Western societies have downplayed the procreative aspect of marriage, much to our detriment. As a result, the happiness of the parties to the marriage, rather than the good of the children or the social order, has become its primary end, with disastrous consequences. When married persons care more about themselves than their responsibilities to their children and society, they become more willing to abandon these responsibilities, leading to broken homes, a plummeting birthrate, and countless other social pathologies that have become rampant over the last 40 years. Homosexual marriage is not the cause for any of these pathologies, but it will exacerbate them, as the granting of marital benefits to a category of sexual relationships that are necessarily sterile can only widen the separation between marriage and procreation."
If you believe marriage has no tie to procreation, then our views are irreconcilable, plain and simple.Last edited by breeno92; 04-18-2014 at 07:17 AM.

So flamboyantly gay, not a chance.
One of my good friends is gay and the only reason I don't care at all is our friendship is completely platonic. He has a boyfriend and they are completely loyal to each other. He never hits on me, creates awkward moments, talks about who he finds hot, etc. Completely know everything about one another though.
But the moment a gay guy tries anything at all there is no chance I'd be friends with him. I am not a girl, I'm not going to awkwardly friend-zone or any of that nonsense. Make me uncomfortable and there is zero chance I'll be your friend.
So my advice to you is don't hit on straight guys if you want to be friends with them, and don't create uncomfortable environments or awkward situations if you want to be good friends with them.

Someone's sexual orientation is their business, it doesn't affect my opinion of them.
There are gay people that I find annoying just like there are straight people that I can't stand.
People get way too wrapped up in what other people are doing.

Don't give a flying ****. I have gay friends that are just normal guys that like dick. I don't really get along with flamboyant gay guys though but that's because there the male equivalent of attention whoring sloots and I can't be arsed to listen to sloots talk either.
Basically if you're chill I don't care about your sexuality, if you're an annoying **** i'm not going to like you regardless of if we share a love of puss.** Forever Cutting Crew**

Really couldn't give a damn what people do behind their closed doors. One of the lads came out there, still the exact same. But jesus, the "over-the-top, look-at-me, I'm-fabulous" type I have no time for. Attention whoring on all levels, especially when they're so self entitled because they're gay.
Long story short, for the majority of hetero guys, as long as you're not being flamingly fabulous in our faces, they don't care."I remember when I used to throw coins at the end of a girls road into the lake, and used to make a wish for her to love me."

I don't mind them. I think it's funny how people can have such boring and pointless lives that they actually spend time and energy hating some stranger just because he likes dudes.

i am a supporter of equal rights for homosexuals. i lived with a gay dude for a year and met a few of his "flamboyant" friends who were really cool when you actually take the time to talk to them. one guy i met moonlighted as a drag queen, but was an emt and an ordained minister during the day.
frankly i think most of these miscers talking about "ya bro gays are cool unless they're flamboyant and annoying" are trying to hide their distaste for gays

The supporters of gay marriage are no longer the minority.
You're forgetting that marriage today is by no means "traditional." Centuries ago, wives could not even own property and basically belonged to their husbands. The definition of marriage has evolved and changed many times before, which kind of makes your argument about changing it will lead to the structure collapsing invalid.

The privilege of marriage is to be conferred upon the minority though. You know what I meant.
EDIT: Actually, I used the word 'will' - bad phrasing on my behalf.

I'm saying what I believe should be the state of affairs, not what are.
Slipper slope is a perfectly valid logical device when used correctly.
As a representation:
I haven't suggested X as an inevitability due to D (gay marriage) which is a former link in the chain (which unless patently obvious needs to be proved). I have stated that A, B and C preceded D (ie. the rise of individualism, divergence of marriage and procreation, etc.) and that D is simply the latest manifestation in the process of A-D.
I have stated that through a process of A-D, a 'traditional society' will collapse (ie. society as we know it). You've somewhat admitted that yourself. 'Progress' IMO is not measured upon some lineal continuum. The society we live in 2 decades from now will be a different creature at its heart to that a century ago. They are essentially different societies - the same body politic, but different societies.
The High Court of Australia actually had a really good discussion on this topic of 'societies' in the Yorta Yorta case.
Disregarding that, even if I were committing the slippery slope that you have accused me of, I feel that it is often overstated as a fallacy. Homosexual civil marriage presents enshrining into law the notion that sexual love, regardless of its fecundity, is the sole criterion for marriage. If this is the sole criterion for marriage, there is literally no other reason upon which the incestuous could be denied. It's just that most people are too stupid to articulately establish this chain of logical implication that people seem to be under the misconception that this 'slippery slope' is invalid.
Anyway, got to head to sleep brah, and heading away for Easter weekend. Feel free for right of last reply.Last edited by breeno92; 04-18-2014 at 07:38 AM.

Men's bums are hairy and smell of poo poo. It's a total mystery to me why some men want to lick and suck them.

They are all perverts and ****philes who are in open defiance of god! Not srs
Look I don't care what you ****s do when you are alone, just don't **** it up in my face with your *******ry.
Get married, adopt kids, have all the rights that regular married couples have...just don't complain about how you are underrepresented in the media and more shows should have dudes making out and don't try and get people fired just because they don't agree with your lifestyle.Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness

Yeah, lots of that ITT. "Bro gays are cool as long as they keep their phucking philthy *******ry away from me and nowhere I can see sense or smell it!!"
Honestly, who gives a phuck... it just doesn't affect you unless you're gay. Don't like the visuals? Tough chit, I don't like looking at fat chicks or douchebag mouthbreathing Bros either but I got over it. Unless you're struggling with your own identity, that chit should have no effect on you.
It's a joke, pretty much stolen verbatim from Joe Rogan.
Why, did you think you stumbled upon a new tactic?

Yes, if sexual love was the "sole criterion for marriage," then you could also argue that people and animals should be able to marry. The fallacy is assuming that homosexual marriage redefines marriage as such, when it does not. What it does do is negate the requirement of heterosexuality in marriage. That is all.
The slippery slope is saying that the negation of the heterosexual requirement in marriage will redefine the requirements of marriage to solely "sexual love," which will then lead to incestuous marriages. You also claim, "marriage should be to provide stability for offspring." Well incestuous couples can still raise offspring, so your definition of marriage appears to not have any qualms with incestuous relationships, only homosexuality. That is, if you are basing your argument against gay marriage on raising offspring, then what is your argument against heterosexual incest under that definition?Last edited by TeddyAtlus; 04-18-2014 at 11:47 AM.
