" @BlackJedi: Sorry mate. I'm a Liberal, so I'll defend to the death your right to hold your opinion. But I'm not some crazy moral relativist sandal wearing hippy, so I can recognise that your opinion on this matter is bigoted and prejudiced, and recognising that isn't morally equivalent. Sorry. "To say iam against gay marriage and not even fully hearing why I came to such conclusions already saying I am prejudiced or bigoted one could say the way you think by itself is pure ignorance if you already came to such conclusions about my opinion.

....oh wait
" @BlackJedi: you're absolutely right. i remember when the civil rights act passed and people thought it would just end there, but then blacks kept demanding more and more from the white man. and now, because we were foolish enough to change the status quo, we all live in a blasted futuristic dystopian hellscape where blacks rule over innocent whites from their ebony citadels and force their slaves to harvest precious metals to satiate their unquenchable thirst for more "bling". ....oh wait "AFFIRMATIVE ACTION DAWG.
Why do people bring up race and compare it to sex? We are talking about marriage between 2 sex not race. I could easily compare gay marriage to beastility but as you say those are 2 different things aswell. give it a break." @BlackJedi: you're absolutely right. i remember when the civil rights act passed and people thought it would just end there, but then blacks kept demanding more and more from the white man. and now, because we were foolish enough to change the status quo, we all live in a blasted futuristic dystopian hellscape where blacks rule over innocent whites from their ebony citadels and force their slaves to harvest precious metals to satiate their unquenchable thirst for more "bling". ....oh wait "
Here's a one to get you started: The state has no right to infringe on the liberty of those who aren't posing any harm to others. Two homosexuals becoming married poses no risk of harm to anyone anymore than two heterosexuals, Caucasian or African, Jew or Gentile being married does, ergo there is no reason for any legal restraint upon it.

Race and sex being tWo different things isn't an argument. It's just an observation. It's like saying the sky and the floor are two different things. Or a book and an elephant. What's your point?
The reason we don't like you comparing gay marriage to "other things lol fail", is because you are trying to compare two humans wanting to live together, to a guy raping a donkey. You have some formulated the idea that nonconsensual sex with animals is somehow comparable to two humans choosing to have sex with one another. It's silly. Honestly, I'd be all for human-animal marriage once animals evolve to the point where they can voice their consent for marriage and sex. Until then, it's a dumb argument.
" On the one hand, this is good, but on the other hand, I feel sorry, because I think that homosexuals have been put through enough already without the misery of marriage. That's right, I'm anti-marriage. Not anti-gay-marriage, I'm anti-regular-ass-marriage. "Dude, you're such a rebel.
" @BlackJedi: Lay down some logical, rational arguments then. I haven't heard a one yet, so I feel good about my assessment.

Two homosexuals becoming married poses no risk of harm to anyone anymore than two heterosexuals, Caucasian or African, Jew or Gentile being married does, ergo there is no reason for any legal restraint upon it. "So marrying a dog or a horse also poses no harm or threat to anyone, I could also say there is no reason for legal restraint. right?
" @DG991 said:Nope." Can I marry my dog yet? "LOL, not now but in the next couple of months its looking that way. "
Consent is still, and will always be, a requirement for marriage. You know, that thing that two humans can give, but an animal cannot? Yeah, that.

It also gives it a bunch of human rights and legal rights that animals simply are not deserving of. Obviously.

No, it's not an argument based on the very definition of the word "argument".
"Sex and race are two different things."
That's not an argument . It just isn't. It's a pointless and arbitrary observation.
And no, bestiality cannot be compared to consensual sex between two adults. Only in the mind of a depraved, sick individual would they in any way be similar.

" I couldn't say this on gamespot because the mods there are crazy but, I do hope this gets over turned.. If it doesn't then there is no reason for many other things not to happen like a guy marrying multiple ladies or guys or animals for that matter. This window opens up alot of possiblites that could happen. "This is literally, literally, the dumbest fucking thing I have ever read.
You will never be able to marry animals, for the same reason you can't marry children or a pile of sand. These things cannot legally give consent. Marital benefits are considered a pretty series thing.
Question: What about countries with existing gay marriage? Why aren't they filled with nothing but human-horse relationships?

No. You cannot do this and then ignore the race argument. You cannot say that some change will have drastic consequences and the other change wouldn't. You are being intentionally dim and intellectually dishonest. Either admit that changing the rules for blacks to be married "opened the doors for anything, including human-chair marriage", OR admit that the argument that "anything can happen if the gays marry!" is nonsensical." @TomWhitbrook said:

Man, you know what's awesome? You are going to die someday. One day, you and your bigoted, old fashioned, and hateful ideals are going to die with you. The world will move on because people like you will die out. Did you know that with each generation, younger people become more accepting of others? Businesses are better because less people are excluded. Conflict is avoided because people understand each other. All of this is possible because throughout history, people like you have grown old and finally died.
Feel free to ponder the fact that the greatest thing you can do for humanity is to simply cease to exist.

Every time you have sex with an animal, it is legally considered rape and abuse. It doesn't matter if it was sporting a huge pink boner and was wearing a T-Shirt saying, "all aboard gentlemen!"
Judges overturned a vote of the people? And we're celebrating?
If you want gay marriage in your state, then vote it in. The reality is that supporters can't even get enough votes in states like California and Mass. Because more people disagree with it than support it.
" @BlackJedi: Animals aren't sentient, and therefore cannot be considered "of sound mind" in order to enter into a contract. To alter that requirement for entering into a contract would be a far more significant and radical change to the law than simply treating people the same. "lol, depends on what giving consent is for an animal sometimes giving a consent isn't simply just saying yes... and lol @ you guys raging.
You shouldn't be allowed to vote for things that violate the Constitution. It doesn't matter how many people want it." Judges overturned a vote of the people? And we're celebrating? If you want gay marriage in your state, then vote it in. The reality is that supporters can't even get enough votes in states like California and Mass.

You shouldn't be able to vote for the abolition of freedom of press, because the newspapers really depress you.
