[/quote] [quote] [b]NoJive said:[/b] One way to get kids. ~rimshot~ :D [/quote] LOL! While that's so bad it's hilarious, the real difference here is that both parties are not obviously consenting. How can one prove that a goat has consented to own half of all your worldly goods? :p _____ I thought this thread had died a death already. My worthless opinion is that gay marriage is no more silly than the institution of marriage (as it stands) full stop. That there are small-minded bigots out there who feel that their superstitious nonsense should have any bearing on what, by all accounts, should be a civil matter is merely a reflection of their need to impose the rules (or those rules they've selected from a great number of contradictory passages) of their chosen cult upon the rest of the world at large. I thoroughly believe that state and church should be distinct and distinguishable. The state serves the people (or bloody-well should) and the people want the right to a legal interest in the ones they love - this should be enough to make heterosexual and homosexual marriage indistinguishable by law. A belief I feel should be shared, that I have no qualms about imposing upon others, is that all humans have the right to live with the same rights and freedoms as every other human. They should not be distinguishable by law, in sex, colour or creed. Of course, I'm probably a hypocrite, and personally, I don't respect [i]all[/i] people's beliefs. If my neighbour beat his wife and kids on a daily basis, it wouldn't matter one iota if he argued "it's my right, as it's allowed in my culture/religion". I don't give a shite if he thinks that some blah-thousand year-old preacher has final say on whether or not he can class his wife as sub-human - I'll still kick his door in and throw him through the window. His beliefs would contradict my sense of right and wrong... the difference for me is that my sense of right and wrong are not driven by some drivel penned by an aging cult. Ah, crap. I don't even know where I'm going with this, but I do know I could go a lot further without contending with Jade for the crazy crown...
