Queer Marriage

[TheStripey1]

If it is only about legality, then why are they not satisfied with a legal civil union with all the same rights as a marriage?

I don't know... if they are offered the chance of legal union and refuse it because they want their union to be called a marriage, then they are stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid... but... I don't think they are even being offered the chance of a civil union... so the point is moot.

do you have a link that says they are?

LMFAO!

Loose was on board this afternoon around 4 or so, read this and no reply.

"the defendant is hereby sentenced to a life of alfalfa and oats in OCA's "owned" stable.

*oca readies another stall next to Loose's for a new mare named Baron*

laffs... poah oca... poah ting...

Might just be because all he talks about is fucking people up the ass when he thinks he's beating them in a discussion.. That's something that *only* he does...

good point... but you notice, he ONLY sez that with men...

[TheStripey1]

Might just be because all he talks about is fucking people up the ass when he thinks he's beating them in a discussion.. That's something that *only* he does...

and dammit... I was going to rep you for this but alas, I have to spread it around some more before I can... so I'll give it to you when I see this on the other end of the thread...

[TheStripey1]

Considering that life is about 80 years and OCA and Pale spend maybe 24% worrying about homosexuality, that means they spend 20 years of their life fixated on the subject.

20 years, think about it.

They could become excellent fly fisherman, flamenco guitarists, ballerinas, golfers, make millions in the stock market, in less time than that.

But they'd rather obsess on fags.

I'd like to see married couples who love each other, are faithful to each other, honest, practice what they preach, don't reproduce when it's inappropriate and raise the kids they do have well. If they meet that standard I don't care if they're heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual or trisexual.

A reasonable man...

trisexual???

[TheStripey1]

The problem with that is the adopted children of homosexual children generally grow up to have mental problems.. Fine.. Be a couple.. But don't adopt children - it's not fair TO the children... I'm sure you'll disagree with that, but not enough people take the future in to consideration.

But the problem with that logic, shattered, is that you imply that children that grow up in hetero families don't have mental problems... they have them too...

[TheStripey1]

I only know one gay couple who have adopted a child and the child appears happy healthy and normal (for now anyway).

On the other hand my straight neighbors adopted two kids. Since then the boy has been imprisoned for rape, at age 12. The girl is an unwed mother with three kids by three different dudes, the mother committed suicide and the father is an alcoholic who rarely leaves the house.

good news and bad...

[TheStripey1]

But Nuc, and no pun intended, I can gaurantee you that that homo couple is teaching that kid that what they do is "normal", and it isn't. That, my friend, is a lie.

What if all they tell the kid is that they are in love. Is love normal? Of course. Then it isn't a lie.

But, uhhh PR? how do you know what goes on in a homosexual household that you can guarantee what is going on in that one?

I watched that show! Was VERY informative/interesting.

I actually really want to get off this topic. But I just can't leave well enough alone. Where does it say homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity? In the Bible? Old testament or new testament? Isn't the old testament acutally the Jewish Torah? From what I understand, the God in the old testament is an avenging God to fear (Saddom and Gamorra [sic])--while in the new testament, Jesus, who is the embodiment of God (yes I know son of), is a loving, accepting, and tolerant God. From what I remember from the picture Bible, , Jesus told God to not seek revenge on those who had crucified him--in essence to love and embrace your enemy. It seems a little conflicting but since Christianity is really named after Christ, I would think his teachings would supersede any mandate that we must loath homosexuals. In fact, I would think if Jesus were alive today, he would say, "come my son, I love you for who you are and just the way you are."

I don't think a Christian group could objectively look at scientific results if they already believe homosexuality is a sin. Bias is already pre-determined. It's just human nature. If your point is that religous groups are supposed to be virtuous--well...okay but then we'd have to allow a Buddhist group to review it, Muslim group, Jewish group, etc. But I would never believe Pat Robert's could be objective or that Christian group that protests outside the funerals of fallen service members with signs that say, "this is God's punishment for Fags!"

As for the article, if you read the whole thing--which I didn't because you have to be a BG member--but I read the beginning and end--you will see that the results are still inconclusive. However, showing such strong feminine tendencies (wanting to dress like a princess, only having girls as friends, barbie dolls) at such a young age is a strong indicator that it is innate. Unless, do you play with barbie dolls?

[TheStripey1]

My religon say's homosexuality is an abomination. I can't do anything about that. I'm a devout Christian. I do by what the Bible says. "Marriage" is between a man and woman, period. It's a holy union in the eyes of God. There can NOT be a holy union between two men or two women in the eyes of God.

I thought Jesus said it was wrong to judge people... are you reading the same Bible that I am? King James?

[TheStripey1]

I can gaurantee you OCA is NOT a fag. This is a bronk ridin', shit kickin', whiskey drinkin' cowboy. There ain't a fag bone in his body.

which is why he's so obsessed with fucking men in the ass... uh huh... what ever you say, Pale... but... don't drop the soap...

[TheStripey1]

I don't know. Most people watch reality tv. I don't think that's normal.

Most people in america are overweight... does that mean being fat is normal?

[TheStripey1]

It's an apt comparison nonetheless,and hardly a non-sequitur. Either way, there are tons of people who feel strongly about issues that have not personally affected them. Are they all just closet examples of what they are concerned with? Are people who speak out against over-eating and lack of exercise really closet fatties?

You simply cannot make assumptions like that about people who feel strongly about a particular subject, especially when their objections are based on moral beliefs.

what about when they have an obsession with fucking men up the ass like OCA does... wouldn't you agree that it's strange?

Or normal?

[TheStripey1]

Do "most people" sit around on a message board pissing and moaning about fags for hours a day?

laffs... no.
