Yay my favorite debate topic. Not to derail the thread or anything.
First of all as far as InOverMyHead is concerned, she will only be happy if she stays in this country or moves over to a place like Iraq, because only in these countries will you find such intolerance towards DIRTY FAGGOTS such as myself. However, people like her are in for a rude awakening very soon. So I'm not even going to bother.
If marriage is a religious institution or whatever, two things:
1. Which religion? You know there's more than 1, right? You know some of them may even recognize filthy gay marriage?
2. Why are atheists able to get married in city hall? Fuck you.
There are two things that rage me most. One is people who say "I don't want my church to be forced to recognize something I don't believe in just because the government said so." Good one. That's not how it works. I'm sure there are some churches who still don't allow pristine white people to marry niggers and spics despite what the gov't says about it.
Second is people who say "what's next, we'll be allowed to marry dogs, family members, children?!"
1. Dogs can't give verbal consent or sign a contract.
2. Family members already have the rights we want in our reasons for wanting marriage. Besides, if they really want to, let them go wild. It's their personal and private lives and if incest is what gets them off then who cares.
3. Kids? really? Who said we were removing the part where you had to be a legal adult? That's right I forgot I'm ruining the country and changing all laws one by one to fit my dangerous and disgusting lifestyle of sitting behind my computer posting on starbucks all day.
