no... (brings beer and a chair) neither does incest or pedophilia necessarily involve direct harm to peopele who are not involved.. all three should be banned imo.

Children - whole families, really - are indeed harmed by pedophiles, and the products of incest are often unhappy, abnormal children. Gays are doing nothing which affects others at all, much less children, and that is the difference.

Excuse me!? You hope you were joking.

This is not a legal issue entirely it is very much religious issue. Marriages though legal yes... are primarily religious.

I repeat God didn't intend for a lot of things to go wrong, this isone of the major ones.

Isn't it a sin of some sort to presume to know what's on your god's mind?

Nicely done Gurck!

Klixxer Im so glad it appears that you are on the path to hell. It will be a pleasure to watch you suffer.
Thank you so much and God Bless my friend! Your friend in God, Chris 😉

Your friend in Jahve.

um... who says people in incest MUST have kids? when is the last time you heard gay couples having kids? 😱 and are they bound to be mutants with 100% chance? i know people whos families are harmed by gay relationships so dont bring that subjective BS. i really do not condone pedophilia, but i dont know why you assume it is always forced. to follow your logic homosexual sex is extremely viloent as it is most commonly practiced in jail cells 😛
smiley is there for a reason, i dont know why people take this all too seriously calling others 'idiots' over stuff that doesnt even pertain them. i simply stated my opinion, so did you, we are all cool. cant we just all get along?

You are just a stuck up little bitch trying to excuse pedophilia, burn in hell you sick SOB.
 
I would think less of a person should they disapprove of gay marriage.

What kind of ass-backwards, old-fashioned, tight-ass, bible-thumping bigot would deny another individual the right to marriage based on sexual preference?

The same people who believed in segregation and that women don't belong in the workplace.
 
just a heads up... gay couples with kids is pretty common, and in my mind at least, is the most important reason that same-sex couples need the same legal rights as heterosexual couples.

it's pretty easy for a lesbian to get impregnated... now imagine your wife trying to get decent medical care when she doesn't qualify under your insurance.

The same tight-assed bible thumping bigots who search for "lesbian pics" of course.

:roll:
 
I think gay marriages shouldn't be banned. Look at the track record of straight marriages maybe the gay community would be more successful at marriage 😉

um... you really have some attitude problems my man. time and again i stated i am all against pedophilia, maybe you are just too thickheaded. actually this is not the first time i seen you run your mouth like that, AT would be a better place without bigots like you thinking a diamond member status gives you some kind of power :roll: hope you get banned soon 🙂

i am neither chrisitian (agnostic here) nor i like lesbos either... being against gay marriage is supposed to make you conservative, but i am pro-choice on abortion. go figure 🙂

bridgen, i dont like ass-backwards, old-fashioned, tight-ass, bible-thumping bigot either 🙂 but you make it sound like those are the only people who are against gay-marriage. most friends of mine around here are 'supposed to be' liberal with open-minded apporach toward most issues, being anti-oil-war and pro-choice and whatnot.

think about all those racism threads that come up on ATOT. most agree everyone has a prejudice (some even call it racism). yet these spntaneously occuring negative ideas arent considered malignant unless someone actually goes out of his way to treat people of other races differently, "push his issue" to make other people's lives worse.

i just dont see how homosexuality is any different from other forms of sexual abberations at its core. now, we dont really have to agree on everything, do we? its not like i would run some kind of anti-gay-marriage campaign either, if things go their way then good for them 🙂

You have a point though, age 18+ homosexual blood-relatives should be able to have consentual sex. If you actually care enough about the subject to fight for the cause though... *steps back slowly*
nope, that was just an example to give you a perspective on it... i believe people typically draw a line where a certain sexual activity is tolerated and another one is not. in this case, you and i happen to have different ideas as to where this line is. incest is disgusting, too 😱

I didn't call any names, I don't do that unless someone else begins the process, in which case I generally respond in kind; it'd be cruel to argue using logic with someone who understands nothing (not even the mysteries of shoe-tying) except personal insults. Not talking about you - I appreciate that you're able to disagree and formulate sentences stating why rather than call me a moron or somesuch, like certain other posters - see sig
lazy me, i should have quoted multiple people to highlight the loudmouth who constantly berates people who disagree with him. that comment wasnt aimed at you if it isnt clear by now 🙂
 
i already voted with the 70% in missouri that passed our state constitutional admendment to require marriage be only with 1 man/1 woman in our state

I'm a firm believer that the original sin of both man and angel was pride. That's an awfully proud statement there...

I thought that rather obvious. Considering "marrage" is a nonexistent word, an attempt at a clever pun pointing out the misspelling was the best one could muster.

Almost 40,000 hits for marrage on Google.

Incredible.

People are dumb.
 
Oh my god! Forget the gay marriage issue; can we focus on persecuting these people who are quoting around 10 people and creating a two page post in order to say something along the lines of 'I agree'!?
 
My opinion is that there should be "civil unions". Marriage was built off a religion (think where people get married) and this is the fundamental issue that people have with calling it marriage also.

I think logically that if you called it a civil union and gave them all the same rights as a married couple that, that would be the best option, but I can understand that gays want to have the title of being married and don't blame then for that in any way, shape, or form, just that for it to work it will have to be classified as a civil union IMO.

I'd wager about 90% of those who say this couldn't care less what it's called, and are hemming and hawing because it'd be non-PC to come right out and say that they hate gays, that they want control over others and this is a good opportunity, etc... might even be subconscious in many cases. Nothing to be embarassed about, really, hating and fearing the unknown and the different is instinctual, and the strength of various instincts varies on an individual basis. For instance I'm terrified of the harmless wood spiders in my area (~2.5-3" across max) despite knowing they're non-poisonous and non-aggressive, and despite the fact I've seen enough by now I should be desensitized.
