Okay to prevent any further flaming, what follows is sarcasm! SARCASM! Don't be an egg and take it seriously. I know it's difficult to determine sarcasm on the internet, but with this piece it shouldn't be that hard.
http://grove.ufl.edu/~ggsa/12reasons

   1.  Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.

   2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.

   3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.

   4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

   5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.

   6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.

   7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.

   8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.

   9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.

  10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

  11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.

  12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

1 reason why it should be legal.......

An individuals right to pursue, life, liberty, and happiness

We have no right in infringe on this, unless you can tell me how a gay marriage infringes on YOUR pursuit to Life Liberty and Happiness.


and it really needs to be a good one.

I believe this is the correct order for those two posts.

I have taken steps to prevent further flames from those with defective sarcasm detectors.

See that's your major problem Iowing you never think before you post. I suppose it's not a big step to not even read what you decide to comment on. Use your head man!

I already explained why I did not read it, there ARE NO good reasons to deny life liberty and happiness to an individual who has not denied yours.

If you don't like that, too bad.
Save the lecture for your kid, that is if you are even old enough to have any yourself.

Um... I think Ty would agree with you on the life, liberty and happiness thing.  That's kind of the point as to why the OP is sarcastic.

Yes I get the sarcasm of the post.  If you read my first post you would know that.
No, I don't understand the source of your generally cranky attitude.  Need a hug?
