Gah! You did that on purpose! Vodalus Send a noteboard - 09/08/2010 01:05:13 AM
Why? Unlike most people opposed to it, he's actually given thought out and reasoned arguments for why he thinks the way he does. Even if you think he's wrong, aren't his points worth adressing instead of being dismissed out of hand? He always extends his opponants the same courtesy.


You know it's "-ent".
南無阿弥陀仏!

Let's ban all Christian Marriage. Dannymac - 07/08/2010 06:36:13 AM 1713 Views
Nice satire, but it raises another point for me. Helene - 07/08/2010 07:20:49 AM 1093 Views

That seems sensible to me. SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:13:26 PM 1053 Views
Not sure what you mean by "demoted." Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:50:02 PM 1186 Views
Nice. *NM* Camilla - 07/08/2010 08:58:20 AM 647 Views
That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. Cannoli - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1360 Views
Hey, look! There was a point over there! Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:46:41 PM 1175 Views
Who else should make those decisions? Cannoli - 07/08/2010 08:00:39 PM 1122 Views

I used to think Joel was the biggest rambler on this site. I am seriously reconsidering. everynametaken - 08/08/2010 05:24:56 AM 1144 Views
And my assessment of one poster as the most content-poor, non-contributing slug is unchanged Cannoli - 08/08/2010 07:17:02 PM 1035 Views

I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution LadyLorraine - 08/08/2010 08:05:45 PM 1152 Views
No, I was referring to same-sex marriage. Real marriage hardly counts as a novelty. *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 02:28:43 PM 475 Views
This must be the "thought out reaction" I've heard so much about. Dannymac - 08/08/2010 10:45:59 PM 994 Views
You cannot be that stupid. Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:10:55 PM 1279 Views
There's a lot of ridiculous arguments here, but I'll focus on just one of them... Legolas - 11/08/2010 03:38:05 PM 1198 Views
Incorrect. Genders are not treated equally. Dreaded Anomaly - 11/08/2010 07:53:00 PM 1382 Views
all you need is enough support to pass an amendment random thoughts - 08/08/2010 02:46:08 PM 985 Views
A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too Isaac - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 1025 Views
And what is wrong with polygamy? *NM* Ectheledhel - 09/08/2010 10:36:53 AM 542 Views
Did I say there was anything? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:03:10 AM 1139 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. Camilla - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 1085 Views
Is that assumption valid? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:36:26 AM 1010 Views

Mmm, but when you're strictly discussing marriage LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 06:13:30 PM 1152 Views

Great post Danny SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:22:27 PM 848 Views
It should be noted again... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 1129 Views
and how is it not a right? LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 1015 Views
My definition of rights... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 10:47:16 PM 1130 Views
mmm, but the UN has legally stated marriage as a right. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 02:52:03 AM 893 Views
+1 Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:11:22 AM 1183 Views
Article 16 probably not a great example Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:44:04 AM 982 Views
You could just as easily move the emphasis... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:08:46 AM 1129 Views
If we need a more specific resolution... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:22:12 AM 1314 Views
No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 05:25:57 AM 1007 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:04:39 PM 1332 Views
That's really a ridiculous stance, you do realize. Legolas - 10/08/2010 03:23:02 PM 940 Views
The point is that marriage IS a right, one which cannot be denied based upon sexual orientation *NM* Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:04:16 PM 752 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:46:56 PM 1181 Views
It doesn't say a man can only marry a woman or vice versa, though. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 04:24:17 AM 1004 Views
It also doesn't say they can Isaac - 10/08/2010 04:41:18 AM 996 Views
You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM 1010 Views
No, I got that, I'm pointing out how it does so Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:47:00 PM 1014 Views
I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:09:32 PM 981 Views
Re: I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. Isaac - 10/08/2010 06:33:56 PM 911 Views
It's mentioned as a right in some SC decision quoted in that Walker opinion. *NM* Legolas - 10/08/2010 06:51:13 PM 487 Views
To clarify for you SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 05:36:14 AM 981 Views
The UNSC is actually the UN's enforcement body... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:16:31 PM 1376 Views
I'm not sure that I would call the Security Council the 'Enforcement Body' SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 08:43:02 PM 981 Views
The fact that it is capable of authorizing the use of military force makes it an enforcement body Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 10:33:59 PM 1271 Views
Disagree - but it's most a matter of definition there SilverWarder - 11/08/2010 04:31:53 PM 1149 Views
What the UN thinks is *completely* worthless.... Jeordam - 10/08/2010 06:43:15 PM 932 Views
and the Constitution dictates nothing about marriage. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 11:46:24 PM 516 Views
That means it is up to the people. And they say "No." *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:13:12 PM 520 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination SilverWarder - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1177 Views
Why don't YOU back up your assertion that the right to marry exists? *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:16:02 PM 523 Views
The actual ruling on Prop 8 specifices marriage as a freedom, not a right. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 12:02:17 AM 1112 Views
Out of curiosity, what would you say to using the Ninth Amendment, possibly in conjunction... Vodalus - 10/08/2010 12:20:19 AM 1170 Views
I agree LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:11:19 PM 866 Views
Yeah but this can't be used to prove that it IS a right... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:30:57 PM 1242 Views
Note it all you want... Dannymac - 10/08/2010 06:43:53 AM 862 Views
No, they seek to expand the terms of the partnership. Homosexuals can & do get married normally *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:14:25 PM 556 Views
The best one yet. Camilla - 10/08/2010 07:59:17 PM 1120 Views
