Connecticut Legalizes Gay Marriage

I could ask you the same thing. As you replied to someone else, and it's apparent that he was talking about social acceptance in general and how gay marriage helps with that, so, maybe, before trying to "pwn" me, read what has been going on and, for once, don't look like a giant fool.

You decided to enter the conversation and I responded with "The point is, social acceptance is a stupid reason".

It isn't hard to comprehend.

No it's not.

Once again:

"Social Validation" as a reason for getting married.

Not:

he was talking about social acceptance in general

You're unbelieveable.

First of all, that's most likely a lie, if you could get a girl to take her panties off for you right now, you wouldn't hesitate to jump in and pump away for all 20 seconds of your worth.

Secondly, you brought up the "gays can't reproduce, ergo, gay-sex is wrong" rhetotic, if that's the case, then you should only (and I mean ONLY) have sex for the purposes of procreation and never for recreation, which I'm sure you won't do.

In short, your stance fails.

Why would you want to get married in the first place?

It's like when they wanted to join the millitary.

Why would you want to?

Haha, fairness.

You can change attitudes just like that?

Wait, is the answer "the Venus cult's gonna do it"?

Why would that be the answer?

The point is, social acceptance is a stupid reason and if people's attitudes were diffrent, it's eradicated.

How so?

Originally posted by lord xyz

What, how is that my point, or how is social acceptance a stupid reason, or how is the reason eradicated?

It's stupid for wanting to get married.

F-for not getting married?

W-where?

No, we were talking about why social acceptance is important. Stick to the topic.

The topic is about marriage.

So? We were talking about social acceptance. You said why would you want to be socially accepted?

Originally posted by lord xyz
In terms of marriage.

Are you that retarded to not see that?

You're unbelieveable.

So, as we all can see, you being an idiot again. You have not provided any reason that social validation is a bad reason to marry.

So. Will you explain why social validation is not an acceptable reason, or continue to talk nonsense?

That was a long about way to just call XYZ a tool.

now you're talking about something different.

Be consistent, and don't dodge.

You just proved me right that we weren't talking about social acceptance in general.

Sure, sure, tool.

Why then, in your opinion, is social validation not a good reason to get married?

As you shouldn't submiss yourself to other people's opinions, when it's much better to change their opinions.

Why do I have to explain this to you? Aren't you smart enough to know the problems with doing something just because the society wants you to?

Technically you can't prove Homosexuality is genetic..., but then again Can't prove there is a God either. I guess it is just blind faith on both counts.

There is strong evidence that it is genetic in origin, for some. They can make flies gay by just altering their genetics. Then there's the pheromone thing they tested. Though it wasn't definitive, it still showed a correlation of an uncontrollable measure of homosexuality. I still hold that the brain is so dynamic, the response to the pheromones can be altered as far as specific areas of brain activation goes. It seems weird, and a stretch, that I would think something like because it is more likely that it is the other way, however, I'm a strong proponent of the mind over the body and I give more heed to the adaptability of the brain. I'm more likely to believe the mind has a greater control over things in the body than say, a stout believer in biological chemistry. I think the brain holds wonderful treasures yet to be discovered. Anyway, tangential, my bad.

So back on track....it wouldn't be blind faith on the genetic origins of homosexuality. It would actually be an exercise of better judgement based on current scientific understanding.

I also forgot to mention that there is actually a place in the reproductive circle for homosexua malesl. Apparently, the female sibling/s of homosexual men have more children and the females can rear them more successfully through the aid (not AIDS...yes, I went there) of the males.

Now don't mistake what I'm telling you for my believing that all homosexuals are homosexuals because their genetics dictate that they are gay. My personal belief is there are some who are gay solely because of their genetics. The rest is a mixture of environment, genetics, and choice. Again, this is my opinion. Some don't hold that my opinion is correct. I'm sure as time goes by, I'll be proven correct of my opinion. 😄

Also most marriages are religion based in America. About 75% of marriages take place in a church. Although the Divorce doesn't lol.

OH! So the majority has the right to oppress the minority? Now why does this sound familiar?....

...hmm....

Also, did you pull that stat out of your a** or is that a legit figure? I don't feel like looking it up. All the other information I talked about above has been cited on these boards on more than one occasion so I don't need to look them up. If you don't feel like searching the boards for those, then you can look it up on google. As you can tell, I'm too lazy to look anything up.

And to answer Lord XYZ....it's all about the code of honor. If Fred knocks up Susie....He is honor bound! That and the shotgun...

True that socials mores have a large influence on people's actions. Is that obvious? (That's not rhetorical.)

Edit-

And about the conversation between Bards and XYZ.

Dude...

I should be overly obvious that people get married because of social mores(which is proper term.) People get married because of that falls in line with the dictates of the society in which they live. Pretty simple, and pretty obvious.

Also, these "dictates" or mores, do not and sometimes don't make sense. Remember when our ancestors could only take baths once a year? *shudders*

I feel the need to concede the argument just so people stop spouting stupidity.

I don't think it's necessary that you concede because I have no idea what your stance vs bardock's stance is. (Weird how that came out...but, I'm saying that you shouldn't give up if you thought that I was attempting to contradict you.) I didn't bother reading what Bardock's point was, for the most part. But I was basically agreeing with you. To sum up...

"People get married because of social mores. DUH!"

That was it.

If that's what you were trying to say, then you're absolutely correct.

Deeply ironic. You have no idea what we have been talking about, obviously. But here, I give it to you in a nutshell.

Sym said social values are a reason why people get married.

NEITHER xyz nor I addressed the factuality of that statement (like you seem to think).

Our argument was solely about xyz thinking that social validation is a stupid reason to get married and me asking why.

Moron.

Do you believe homosexuals are people, too? Do you believe that marriage is an institution made up of those who participate in it? Do you believe that the legal and moral commitment those two people make to each other are just as real as those made between a man who feels as he des and a woman that feels as she does?

Great. But that didn't look like the argument he was trying to make on this last page to me.

I could care less about reading the large quantity of rubbish your two passed.

And stop with the name calling, poopy butt stains boy.

Why? If someone's an idiot (like you), I shall point it out. And I told you now that you were incorrect. Just get over it. You made a stupid assumption, you were wrong, I am sure it happens all the time. Glad I could clear it up for you.

You didn't clear jack **** up for anyone. If I were interested, I would have read it. Stop being so full of yourself. You really do think I stalk you, don't you?

Also, I didn't make a stupid assumption. It was simply what was on this page, dumb***.

"Social acceptance" and "social validation"

Remember? You just have to scroll up.

Also, don't forget to wipe your butt. Glad I could help.
