Yeah, I'd agree that's pretty insane SilverWarder Send a noteboard - 10/08/2010 08:49:24 PM
Today's "Say what" section of <a href="http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html">Doonesbury</a> was perfect in its insanity:

"I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to be extinct, and none of us wants to be. So we don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage...Marriage between one man and one woman remains the guard against human extinction."
-- MLK niece Alveda King on gay marriage


OMG! Letting people marry each other who cannot procreate - that will be the END OF THE HUMAN RACE!

THE END IS NIGH!

<goes and puts on Rorschach outfit and parades around outside someplace>

Hello Alveda - Those folks are not going to procreate ANYWAY! Whether they marry or not is unimportant!
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

Not sure what you mean by "demoted." Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:50:02 PM 1188 Views
Nice. *NM* Camilla - 07/08/2010 08:58:20 AM 648 Views
That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. Cannoli - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1364 Views
Hey, look! There was a point over there! Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:46:41 PM 1180 Views

I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution LadyLorraine - 08/08/2010 08:05:45 PM 1157 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 476 Views
This must be the "thought out reaction" I've heard so much about. Dannymac - 08/08/2010 10:45:59 PM 997 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 1200 Views

A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too Isaac - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 1028 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 1144 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. Camilla - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 1088 Views

Great post Danny SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:22:27 PM 849 Views
It should be noted again... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 1131 Views
and how is it not a right? LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 1018 Views
My definition of rights... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 10:47:16 PM 1132 Views
mmm, but the UN has legally stated marriage as a right. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 02:52:03 AM 895 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 985 Views
You could just as easily move the emphasis... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:08:46 AM 1131 Views
If we need a more specific resolution... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:22:12 AM 1315 Views
No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 05:25:57 AM 1011 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:04:39 PM 1333 Views
That's really a ridiculous stance, you do realize. Legolas - 10/08/2010 03:23:02 PM 945 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 753 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:46:56 PM 1184 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 1006 Views
It also doesn't say they can Isaac - 10/08/2010 04:41:18 AM 997 Views
You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM 1016 Views
No, I got that, I'm pointing out how it does so Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:47:00 PM 1016 Views
I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:09:32 PM 984 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 913 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 489 Views
To clarify for you SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 05:36:14 AM 983 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 986 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 1150 Views
What the UN thinks is *completely* worthless.... Jeordam - 10/08/2010 06:43:15 PM 935 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 522 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination SilverWarder - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1180 Views
Why don't YOU back up your assertion that the right to marry exists? *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:16:02 PM 524 Views
The actual ruling on Prop 8 specifices marriage as a freedom, not a right. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 12:02:17 AM 1113 Views
Out of curiosity, what would you say to using the Ninth Amendment, possibly in conjunction... Vodalus - 10/08/2010 12:20:19 AM 1172 Views
I agree LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:11:19 PM 868 Views
Yeah but this can't be used to prove that it IS a right... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:30:57 PM 1245 Views
Note it all you want... Dannymac - 10/08/2010 06:43:53 AM 866 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 559 Views
