Are you guy for or against same-sex marriage?

"Let's use the example I stated before. If the media chooses to cover ground breaking rulings toward equality and rights of cousin couples, wouldn't that make more people consider if they like their cousins, thus creating more cousin couples? btw read the previous comment
"

Yeah genetic issues are more common among direct relatives, but with first cousins, the risk of genetic problems goes up about 2%. And that shouldn't even matter since reproduction isn't a factor in marriage like everyone has been saying. Gay people can't make babies and cousins can avoid reproduction. Both are going against nature and both have a small possibility of causing problems.

Not genetic problems, health problems from sexual activities. Not all gay people have AIDs, but the rate of STDs among gay people is higher.

"Can somebody explain to me why marrying your cousin is illegal, but gay marriage is not (or gradually becoming legal). I'm not pro-incest or anything, but I honestly don't see the difference. Have you noticed the sudden growth of gay people in America? Why don't you see this trend in third world countries? It almost seems like society/media is encouraging gay behavior and confusing more people than before. If movies and tv shows started showing that loving your cousin is okay, then I'm pretty sure more people would start liking their cousins. Another question to think about is why aren't we attracted to our siblings? Isn't it good to know the person you're going to marry? And who do we know better than our brothers and sisters? I don't hate gay people or anything, but if we start allowing gay marriage, shouldn't we allow relative marriage, animal marriage, etc.? If a girl truly loves her uncle, who are we to stop them from loving...right? As long as it doesn't affect you.
"

There isn't a growth in Gay people, it's just that more people are coming out of the closet now that it's safe. And it is illegal to be a homosexual in some countries, that's why people don't come out. There were a couple of young gay men that were hung in Iran for that reason.

There is a long history of recorded gay relationships in Ancient Greece and other eras. Gay people always existed.

I have no problem with it at all. Its only fair if they are allowed to get married.

"Only for attractive gays."

Interesting... So we just follow the flow. I suppose if you were starving in North Korea, you would tell people "it's okay! our government is currently right by oppressing us, but it will be wrong in the future."

alright give me a second chance. So while severe racism was taking place, you would've said "its okay because this is the norm." How can racism ever be okay? Just because everyones doing it? Think about what you're saying. Everyone does drugs so it must be alright. If only people like you existed, there would be no change. We would leave it up to everyone else to figure out what's right. You're suggesting that you have no opinions on any matter. I guess that's the perfect world

Im totally for the whole same sex marriage thing....well about as much as I'm for "regular" marriage which admittedly isn't very much but hey who am I to stop crazy cats who are in love.

I don't have anything against it but I don't see why its even an issue. What would getting married change for a homosexual couple anyway? Nothing.

I truely dont see a good reason why two people who love each other cant get married. Its not like they are making marige meen anything less, especially considering that 1/3 of mariges end in divorce.
Let people be happy for crying out loud

For it, they should be allowed to if they're in love etc etc.

What is your stance on abortion

The only reason you are for gay marriage is because the majority is leaning toward that direction. I'm guessing you have a lot of faith in society and where it's headed. I asked about abortion because the argument is split in half and I was curious to see which side you were on or if you were just waiting for others to decide. If tomorrow the world starts believing that murder is okay, you won't have any disagreements. I'm going to sleep

"What is your stance on abortion
"

alright one last question. If everyone agrees that abortion should be illegal, would you speak up against it?

then you are just a small part of a larger society and whether you like it or not it WILL change. why fight it? gnight

Fundamentally, I think it's becoming more accepted these days.

The thing is the majority defines the norm. 100 years ago the majority of people felt homosexuality was wrong, so gays were hated, and considered evil. Hundreds of years ago it was ok to have sex with children in greece, as well as Incest. 50 years ago racism was normal. It was the norm because the majority felt it was ok. Now we have a new shift in the norm. Problem is people like you stayed where you are but the boundry line shifted. Not only is there evolution in biology. There is evolution in civilization. An ever moving zeitgiest in which we must evolve and conform, or we are left in the dust to conplain and spit venom. The problem is things like religion tend to try and keep the line stationary. It disrupts the natural evolution of society and we get conflict.

What I'm saying is that now what is right is open mindedness, civil rights, gays, and open sexual expression. And what is wrong is bestiality, incest, murder, pedophilia. But what is wrong today may not be wrong tomorrow. And while we think its wrong now. And believe me  bestiality, incest, murder, pedophilia are most definitely wrong, might not be concidered wrong in 50 years. But the funny thing is if the zeitgiest changes in that way I'll be on some forum in your position railing against pro beastiality people.

So theMatt9, and the rest of you like him. Believe what you want to believe, your just a small part of a larger society and whether you like it or not it WILL change.

Looks like sleep made me miss out on good times.  Omega, you explain it far better than I could have.

I'm for it only for playboy bunnies, who make videos lol.

Religion just frankly pisses me the fuck off. Ok . . . . Let me get this straight . . . Your for war in Iraq and at the same time you are against abortion. Its okay to kill living people but not okay to kill an unborn fetus. That makes perfect sense. \/_\/

Against it, duh!

Neutral.

Where exactly does religion come into that little equation of yours?

Republicunts are prowar and antiabortion they also happen to be very "christian." America is the home of the free and the land of the ignorant.

While I personally  can't understand why gay people would want to be christian, they absolutely deserve the same civil rights as other couples.

The religious right and not the moderates or liberals. American politics sucks anyways, they should all just get chainsaws and stick it into everyone.

Thats funny. Why would African Americans want to be christian? It was these same moral Christians who owned slaves and thought god wouldn't totally be pissed off at them for that messed up crap. It was the Spanish Catholics who went over to the north west coast of africa and exchanged firearms for tribal pow's during the tribal strife that plagued certain parts of the contenent and then brought those same people to NA to be sold as property.

You're quite ignorant of our politics, aren't you? The vast majority of American citizens, Democrat or Republican, are religious. It's true that there are more Christians in the Republican Party, but the Democratic Party is mostly Christian as well.


Finally, there is a distinct difference between supporting war and opposing abortion, the main reason being unborn children have done nothing to deserve being killed, whereas terrorists have.

I'm sick of hearing these right-wing douches saying they're trying to protect the sanctity of marriage. If it's something so sanctimonious, why do we have reality television shows where some bimbo is married off to whatever two dozen guys that are just trying to get laid. Also they're trying to protect "family values". I don't know how much stock anyone can put into that when the divorce rate in the U.S. is 41-50% after the first marriage.

Anyways, I say yes...let us, dammit.

Some funny videos.

hahaha those videos were pretty funny...the first one had really good serious points and the second one just made me pee a little cause I couldnt stop laughing XD

They deserve the same rights as anyone else.  I don't see the point in not allowing homosexuals to be married.  It's not as if allowing them to marry is going to cause Australia to sink or anything.

I'll admit I laughed at no gay potatoes.

Humans are apart of nature. I don't think you know how Homosexuality works do you? Something for what ever reason, changes in your brain when your developing that makes you attracted to other males, or females. Its not a choice (well as I said earlier it is if its a sexual preference but that's different.) and it certainly isn't a sin. And dare I say it, what if Jesus was homosexual? Kinda strange for a male his age not to be married back then don't you think?
