No, you apparently failed reading comprehension in school. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 23/10/2012 03:08:44 PM
My statement was the logical progression from the argument that was attempted from "the other side". Its sole purpose was to illustrate how rediculous their argument was. It was intended to be rediculous. It was intended to be real-world stupid. It was NOT intended to be a reasonable position. It was illustration of the foolishness of someone elses stated position. Do you understand now, or do I need to try and rewrite this post in words of 4 letters or less?

To recap: Their position,was that there was no reason to not allow it, therefore it should be allowed. There is also no reason not to allow me to marry a spoon. or a corporationor my own adult offspring or 3,567,983,987 other adult people.

I've said it before, it is not a civil rights issue, it is not an equal protections issue. It is not a Constitutional issue AT ALL. It is an issue where a minortiy portion of our population wants the majority to grant them a new legal status that is comparable to one that the majority enjoys, but that the minority CHOOSES not to participate in; even though they have the exact same access to it.

As it should be; the DoMA was always a brazen affront to the Equal Protection Clause - 19/10/2012 12:06:13 AM 890 Views

That's such a stupid, puerile argument. - 19/10/2012 03:47:26 PM 766 Views
Not the best analogy, though I agree with the sentiment. - 19/10/2012 04:10:11 PM 698 Views
Then by the "legal argument" you all propose I should have the "right" to marry a spoon... - 19/10/2012 05:48:32 PM 717 Views
if your spoon or dog is capable of making power of attorney decisions then by all means do so *NM* - 19/10/2012 06:41:43 PM 325 Views
How about I "marry" a corporation then. THAT is how stupid the entire arguement is. *NM* - 19/10/2012 07:25:13 PM 325 Views
Another good example of how corporations aren't the same as people. *NM* - 19/10/2012 10:07:32 PM 330 Views
