Marriage?

[Gardi94]

Kids with overweight parents get bullied. Think we should stop overweight people having kids?

DJ, listen for a few seconds *whoosh* you know what that sound was? no? That was the sound of my post going totaly over your head. Read my post one more time. I said that ADOPTION is something that can be prevented by law, to spare children from undeniable ridicule they will get from peers. Being over-weight cannot be preventable by law......read....you just might learn something.:nonono::nonono:

This point is taken well into account; where does prejudice end and acceptance begin? We can not live in a world where we all see eye to eye. In my honest opinion the only people we aught to stop are those that attempt to deliver deliberate harm to our persons or property and seeing that the adoption of children by homosexual couples are in my opinion actually safer than by heterosexual couples, since the former will be under constant scrutiny/watch more or less due to the likely prejudice of the community. Everyone please take in to account the concept of same-gender relations is a fairly new concept on the large scale of things 50 yrs or so ago we'd all be grabbing our pitch-forks and firearms; sad and funny as it may seem today. We need about two generations to die away before same-sex relations of marriage and adoption are accepted by the majority as 'normal'

Ok...um...I really have no way to describe this post, maybe a large order of fail-fries with a huge bucket of weaksauce. To answer your first question..prejudice ends and acceptance begins where a person wants it to end, the populace will never say where everyone will be prejudice and where everyone will accept. People who view white-supremecy as an acceptable thing have drawn their line on where prejudice begins and where acceptance ends. People for the abolishment of slavery 150+ years ago drew their line on where prejudice ends and where acceptance begins. And homsexualuality is not a new thing to the human mind, just only now people are becoming more confident in declaring that they are homsexual, and back to the grabing of pitch forks and guns, this is the 21st century, it is not the 18th. Homosexuality is not witch-craft.

How do you think Chanseys reproduce?

*** marriage should be legal and loved.

Well I do think that they have their own babies by themselves in their pouches, but i also think there are seperate sexes for them.

anyways, If any two people want to marry what's the big deal? It's none of your business what they do! Same sex marriage SHOULD be legal! "Marriage" is just a word, and its meaning can be changed like alot of words have changed in history.

I'd just like to say that if people were given the choice between being heterosexual and homosexual, then I'm pretty sure everybody would pick heterosexual. Why would anybody consciously decide to be discriminated against?

Homosexuals have the same control over being homosexual as black people have control over being black.

We should be extended the same rights as heterosexuals.

Yes I understand that homosexual orientation is as old as humanity itself. My thoughts on the end of prejudice and the begging of acceptance was to help make clear if we all decided as individuals what we think is morally right or acceptable no one would be able to really do anything with out the feeling of some sort of violation on someone else's view. It was the view of homosexual orientation in the statutes of society more or less so please if not so clear on what someone has posted don't go around degrading, you may just learn something if you read and ask follow up questions

I think because of the chances this thread is going to degenerate into a flame war.

One example of something uninformed and misunderstood already said in this thread: Tina, your sexual orientation is not a choice. Who you are attracted to is not something you can decide.

I fully support everyone's right to be married, and I hope the close-minded comments don't cause this to become the potential bonfire it is.

It's not close-minded to state that homosexuality is a choice, conscious or unconscious. One, homosexuality has never been proven as a natural occurrence in human nature. Neither has heterosexuality for the matter. Heterosexuality seems to make more since based on what we know living organisms are innately programed to do: reproduce. Organisms on all levels fulfill this natural instinct. That's what reproduction is all about, instinct. But as humans, we over complicate such basic natures, mostly because of our higher level mental capacities. Hence why our prehistoric ancestors could kill with no remorse, and why today some choose not to eat meat and could never find a justified reason to eat meat.

Actually I do think that it has been proven, yet not accepted, people are born with a "homosexual" gene. I watched it on the Discovery Channel =)

IDK. Seems like if that were unequivocally true, I would have heard something about it on the news. I do watch Fox News after all.

Consider both out comes.

Homosexuals have the same control over being homosexual as black people have control over being black.

This is true, and an excellent point, but it should be noted that there are people who now think that being homosexual is "cool."

I've met people who make a big deal of coming out, practically make themselves a woman, cry about how bad their life is because they are homosexual so people feel bad for them, and then a year later say "I'm straight again."

A lot of my best friends are homosexuals, but are quiet and reserved about it. It makes me mad that my friends undergo name calling and finger pointing just so some kids can fake it and act like women because it is "cool." It is a mockery and insulting.

Same sex marriage SHOULD be legal!.

Wait... Isn't it legal in the US?

 

[ryanvergel]

Wait... Isn't it legal in the US?

There are a few states that allow it. Then there has been an upsurge in states actually banning their unions.

So we have polar opposites going on. In one way we're advancing and in another we're not.

 

[Ardoptres]

Omg... I thought the US was one of the places it got allowed FIRST. I didn't know it was actually behind.

Nah, not the USA, the country where you can't run for President unless your Christian.

Chirstianity/religion in general seems to be one of the main reasons why some places are reluctant to legalise it.

And why same-sex couples have to have a "civil partnership" as opposed to a real marriage which is an utter farce. They have the same rights as married couples in places that allow it so why can't they have a real marriage?


Religion thats why.

This is completely close-minded and ignorant. There are many different species, observed in nature, that have homosexual relationships. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality#Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

Please, if you believe sexual orientation is a choice, educate yourself.

Yes, sad that there are many still who believe sexual-orientation is a 'choice' like choosing what sort of socks one should wear. As far as heterosexuality being the 'norm' due to the necessity to reproduce as a species is non-existent in humanity. We have no instincts only inclinations of what we as individuals consider worthy to pursue. If our entire race was based on the desire of reproduction we wouldn't have abortions we wouldn't have parents murdering their children in cold-blood we wouldn't have people all finicky on who they pick to mate with and we would certainly not have homosexuality.

 

[Tyrant]

I am fairly much against it. And I find it to be against the nature of humanity. And I don't see them as being the same as heterosexual couples. Therefore I do not think they should have the same rights. They are not contributing to the advancement of the human race. But I guess in this day in age the less kids there are being had the better. We don't need to be even more overpopulated then we already are.

Though the media in constantly pushing equality for all, so I guess we might as well give in and let them be happy? For if we don't we are all nothing but inbred bigots right? Damn media.

Not always inbred.......
But yes.

You make 'pushing for equality' and 'letting people be happy' sound like they are bad things.

Seems fine to me.

Go media!

 

[PokemansForGeeks]

Go media!

minus Fox News

So now we are going to blame religion for all of our problems as a country? I don't think that is quite fair.

My personal view on it is that homosexuals can have a "legal partnership" (or whatever the technical term is) but I think we should keep the tradition of marriage among heterosexual couples

Just my opinion
