That's really a ridiculous stance, you do realize. Legolas Send a noteboard - 10/08/2010 03:23:02 PM
Whether the UDHR *should* provide for gay marriage is a different matter, but it's ridiculous to pretend that it does. The wording can be read that way now, sure, but that's only because they didn't even think of the possibility of gay marriage at the time they wrote and passed the thing.

Nice satire, but it raises another point for me. Helene - 07/08/2010 07:20:49 AM 1035 Views

Not sure what you mean by "demoted." Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:50:02 PM 1094 Views
Nice. *NM* Camilla - 07/08/2010 08:58:20 AM 617 Views
That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. Cannoli - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1270 Views
Hey, look! There was a point over there! Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:46:41 PM 1086 Views
Who else should make those decisions? Cannoli - 07/08/2010 08:00:39 PM 1023 Views

I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution LadyLorraine - 08/08/2010 08:05:45 PM 1092 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 452 Views
This must be the "thought out reaction" I've heard so much about. Dannymac - 08/08/2010 10:45:59 PM 938 Views
You cannot be that stupid. Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:10:55 PM 1213 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 1092 Views

A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too Isaac - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 967 Views
And what is wrong with polygamy? *NM* Ectheledhel - 09/08/2010 10:36:53 AM 511 Views
Did I say there was anything? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:03:10 AM 1082 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. Camilla - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 1000 Views

Great post Danny SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:22:27 PM 780 Views
It should be noted again... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 1077 Views
and how is it not a right? LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 951 Views
My definition of rights... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 10:47:16 PM 1074 Views
mmm, but the UN has legally stated marriage as a right. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 02:52:03 AM 831 Views
+1 Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:11:22 AM 1109 Views
Article 16 probably not a great example Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:44:04 AM 936 Views
You could just as easily move the emphasis... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:08:46 AM 1064 Views
If we need a more specific resolution... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:22:12 AM 1246 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 925 Views
It also doesn't say they can Isaac - 10/08/2010 04:41:18 AM 938 Views
You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM 928 Views
No, I got that, I'm pointing out how it does so Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:47:00 PM 949 Views
I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:09:32 PM 924 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 857 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 461 Views
To clarify for you SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 05:36:14 AM 856 Views
The UNSC is actually the UN's enforcement body... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:16:31 PM 1305 Views
I'm not sure that I would call the Security Council the 'Enforcement Body' SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 08:43:02 PM 897 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 1170 Views
Disagree - but it's most a matter of definition there SilverWarder - 11/08/2010 04:31:53 PM 1076 Views
What the UN thinks is *completely* worthless.... Jeordam - 10/08/2010 06:43:15 PM 881 Views
and the Constitution dictates nothing about marriage. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 11:46:24 PM 491 Views
That means it is up to the people. And they say "No." *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:13:12 PM 495 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination SilverWarder - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1122 Views
Why don't YOU back up your assertion that the right to marry exists? *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:16:02 PM 497 Views
The actual ruling on Prop 8 specifices marriage as a freedom, not a right. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 12:02:17 AM 1006 Views
Out of curiosity, what would you say to using the Ninth Amendment, possibly in conjunction... Vodalus - 10/08/2010 12:20:19 AM 1089 Views
I agree LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:11:19 PM 806 Views
Yeah but this can't be used to prove that it IS a right... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:30:57 PM 1173 Views
Note it all you want... Dannymac - 10/08/2010 06:43:53 AM 799 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 509 Views
