Don't forget that they're not smart enough to articulate a reason for their opinions either.  Or in one case, write thier hateful bile in a coherent way. 

But whatever you do, don't refer to them as small minded!!!

Would you care to back your statements up with evidence? Something tells me you have none, and are simply basing your opinions on personal and or religious experience.
THAT IS ALL THIS IS THIS IS AN OPINION THAT I PERSONALY HAVE, JUST LIKE YOU SIDE OF THIS IS AN OPINION THAT YOU PERSONALY HAVE.  SO TAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN ADVICE, I DONT HAVE TO BACK ANYTHING UP THIS IS AN OPEN DISSCUSSION I BELIVE WHAT I WANT TO AND THATS THAT, I DONT HAVE TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.  AND QUIT USING RELIGON AS AN ESCAPE GOAT TO HOW I FEEL.  I DON'T BELIVE IN A GOD, HEAVEN HELL OR THE DEVIL, SO GO RANT ON SOME OTHER JESUS FREAK.  LIKE I POSTED IF YOU CANT KEEP A LEVEL HEAD THEN GO SOME WHERE ELSE.  THE ONLY REASON I KEPT GOING ON WAS BECAUSE I WAS GETTING BASHED ON BY ALL OF YOU WHO THINK YOUR SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE YOU CAN SPELL OR WHAT HAVE YOU.  YOU DON'T KNOW ME AND I DON'T KNOW YOU AND WE WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT

Ether, then you do not know how to debate nor do you understand the basic fundamentals of Critical Thinking. I strongly recommend that you do not post in this part of BF2S again until you understand how to do so.

Gay marriage and adoptions are okay in my book.

Nobody follows the words of Christianity as God said in the Bible anyway, why listen anymore? God is dead.

Why deny people the right to marry and adopt children because their sexual orientation is different? Do we live in the medieval?

Will children of gay people necessarilly become gay? No, since homosexuality is partly genetic. No, because children often seek to become different than their parents.

And is it a crime against humanity to adopt a child if you live with a person of the same sex you love?

No. Crimes against humanity are human rights violations. And while we're at it, the US loves to punish people who violate human rights. Which means they should be spanking their own damn butts.

Out.

Ether,

One other thing.  You don't have to back yourself up with statistics if you don't want to.  You should be able to give a rational reason for why you feel the way you do though.  If you can't speak intelligently about why you feel the way you do, nobody here will respect you.  If you can't understand the difference between trying to have an intelligent conversation and "trying to force shit on you" (sic) then you need to take Marconius' advice and stick to posting in the "OMG HAX" threads.

And by the way, Skruples is better than you because he isn't a hateful person and can write and argue intelligently.

Like I said, I was arguing with the facts behind your argument, not your moral objections. You are entitled to your opinion, but I will tell you when you make errant statements. Here, enjoy:

Secondly, I will not ask you again. Turn your caps lock off and refrain from insulting people, I suggest you refer to the forum rules if you have any questions.

Inever said i did run this forum or this site, if you can show me where it says that i cant type in all caps the so be it but untill  you can i will keep doing it.  And the only reason that this conversation has gone where it is now is because you took it here so again you are going back or your own advice.

didn't you say you were done for the day and heading home?  How much ignorant dribble can someone post before they're banned anyway?
As much as I want it called over time asshole, and again listen to your own advice.  And why would i be banned you were the one that attacked me first all of my responses have been in retaliation to you.
actually, you've attacked quite a few people, I just happened to be the first one you chose to jump on.  As for me attacking you, no.  There's a less than subtle difference.  I attacked your viewpoints and only approached anything personal after you demonstrated a complete and total inability to hold anything resembling an intelligent conversation.  Even then I avoided you specifically, and certainly did not descend to the level of wishing harm and death upon the other.  Care to try again?  No, seriously.  Your prancing amuses me.  Dance, pawn.

The past two pages are proof that Rule #10 is quite important...I could probably write up a case study on it.

Why should Straight People be the only ones to suffer?
Anyway, late to the party, but here is my take on it.

Marrige being defined in the U.S. should not be the role of Government, if they choose to respect only the wishes of the dominant religion (Christianity). Hence, remove the tie between Legal Marrige and Religious Marrige and you have no problem what so ever. Have a Justice of the Peace do the legal marrige, then have people get whatever ceremony they want (from getting married in a packed church like St. Pauls Cathedral, to a simple 'jumping over a broom' that slaves did historically.)

Hence Religious people would be able to 'protect' their religious values from homosexuality by banning it from their churches, and gay people would be able to have FULL legal married status.

End of issue -- BUT the Republicans would never go for it, as it would neutralize one of their 'vote-getting' 'hot-button' diversions. Instead of people focusing on the craptastical job Bush has done on Iraq, Katrina, Gas Prices, Transportation, Budget Balancing, Climate Change (denial for years), etc... they are focusing on flag burning and gay marrige. Essentially sweeping their problems under the rug and hoping no one notices.

My apoligies of my spelling. I'm on Lortabs from getting wisdom teeth dug out of my skull today. Typing is my only form of tsalking currently, so I'm rambling too.

I assume by "be f**** by other kids" you basically mean be picked on by oater kids.

Be that as it may, the last I knew kids were getting picked on for lots of other reasons too.  And certainly having two parents that love you is a pretty good coping mechanism for being picked on.

you mean offhanded references to your fictional life?

Anyway, does anyone have a solid arguement against gay marriage?  Or is the only opposition religion and "it's just wrong?"

A penis can fit in a vagina, a penis CAN'T fit in another penis. same for pussy in pussy... they can't create life together either...That's SOLID evidence right there.
