California Gay Marriage Ban Lifted

[thethingthatlurks]

Gene therapy does need more research, but it still does not justify accepting homosexuality as normal.

Yeah, we shouldn't be accepting such pitiful bigotry either. How pray tell is being an uneducated moron like you a beneficial trait? I'm sure it doesn't exactly improve your chances of reproducing...

 

[AndyFromMonday]

A victory for human rights! Hurrah!

 

[ChazzBurger]

51.5% voted against it, 48.5% voted for it? why did people vote if it didnt matter?

Because we live in a Republic and not a Democracy. If we were in a Democracy than it would be majority rule all, all the time, aka tyranny of the many, but thats not the case in America.

The title says it all, but here's a link

Basically, a judge found the ban was unconstitutional.

Personally, I am pretty glad they've done this. It's a victory for civil rights and just generally great (speaking as a brit).

Thoughts? I know you're all reasonably enlightened so I can't imagine much hate for this news.

This is absolute bull.

To support gay marrige is to accept a mental disorder as "acceptable".

We should be trying to cure this disorder rather than accepting it as a part of life.

mate they are going to slaughter you, but i think its a fair opinion...

Right, ill cast the first stone...

Who are you to decide who should and shouldn't love each other? who is anyone to decide for another person who they can and can't be with. It's fuck heads like you that bring the world down, it's fuck heads like you that feel you have the authority to tell my family members how to live their life. You sir can fuck right off.

No son, you can fuck off.

Love is a chemical, it's pathetic to try and romanticise it.

As a species we should be trying to constantly improve our selves, removing genetic mutations and developing natural immunity to disease.

So it's "fuck heads" like you that are crippling the advancement of the human race.

Human race?

Or Aryan?

 

[lordbuxton]

Your suggesting the human race would be better with serious mental disorders like austism in the gene pool ?

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Homosexuality is caused by a recessive gene and we should be trying to remove it from the human gene pool, just like we would remove genes that caused austism. We should not be accepting it.

Oh, now I see. You're a Nazi.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Godwin's law.

I wonder if he thinks all brown eyed people should be killed too?

 

[warboss5]

Human race?

Or Ayrian?

Trollish race, actually, lol

 

[Falconus]

Wow, typical liberal blowing what i say out of absoulte reason. I mean a faith gene ?

Gene therapy does need more research, but it still does not justify accepting homosexuality as normal.

Bravo Sir. you are an exceptional troll, you've managed to keep this going without pushing too much. Excellent baiting.

 

[Woodsey]

I believe gay marriage is wrong, that is just my opinion, Its just sounds like an oxymoron to me

Really? Sounds like equality to me, but then I guess the people that think the way you do don't care for it much as long as it doesn't affect you.

 

[WindKnight]

Come on guys, stop feeding the troll. Report him, celebrate a victory for common sense and civil rights, and ignore him.

 

[MGlBlaze]

Besides, I'm fairly certain that usually homosexuality is caused by overexposure to certain hormones while the foetus is still developing in the womb, not genetics so I don't think Darwin's theories even apply here, do they? I could be wrong, though.

Those hormones are, ultimately, controlled by the woman's genetics, and as such evolution would still have an effect even if it was more subtle.

Good point, thanks for letting me know.

Thanks to you, too. Trolls always manage to suck me in. I guess I'm one of the people who can't just walk away from ignorance. Seems there's a good number of people here with a similar mindset.

 

[Sir_Tor]

Well, I suppose it never hurt anyone.

Except for the Ameriacn family! *Dramatic music in the background*
j/k

Good for them!

Lordbuxton you still haven't replied to what I said, and btw I don't think you should be banned for what you have said so far, if you are just presenting opinions and not mindlessly insulting that's fine.
To sum up my position: Homosexuality is not detrimental to humans or many other species. It can help cut down on overpopulation which would be very beneficial and provide extra parents for children without them.
If marriage were a religious rite then people not following the religious rules should leave them along and find their own religion. One problem, CHRISTIANITY DID NOT INVENT MARRIAGE. NO RELIGION DID. Marriage existed completely separate from any religion for a long time, its was several hundred years before Christians started doing anything special involving their religion in marriages. And plenty of other religions have their own religious ceremonies, what if that religion didn't condemn homosexuality? That's not at all fair or equal and would clearly just be favouring one specific religion.
The legal aspects of marriage exist for taxing and census purposes, not for protecting religious or social institutions, anyone who claims that is ignorant of historical facts and is trying to rewrite them for their own benefit.
As for the overruling aspect, sometimes people are too stupid to vote for stuff, when it comes to human rights, then need to be equal, if the majority is discriminating unfairly and without any basis in fact, they are wrong.

I'm just going to stop feeding it. Nevermind this.

Human, the nazi's were to caught of in racism and aesthetic qualities.

 

[NorthernTrooper]

It's about damn time. Canada welcomes you to the future.

Agreed. Next you can join us in a better government.

 

[Furious Styles]

Your suggesting the human race would be better with serious mental disorders like austism in the gene pool ?

Dude, quote people. It'll get their attention so they can argue against your bullshit more effectively.

Also, yes, autism should be kept in the gene pool.

Not that its genetic in any way shape or form, you misinformed little man.

 

[Maze1125]

Your suggesting the human race would be better with serious mental disorders like austism in the gene pool ?

Yes, just as the gene for sickle-cell is of benefit in places with high cases of malaria.

Evolution isn't as black and white as your genetically inferior mind seems to think it is.

He doesn't seem to be replying to anyone. Maybe he's afraid of reasoned argument, preferring to spout crap.

I think most of us have... Just the mods must be busy at the moment. So until then we'll just have to put up with it. I still don't recommend feeding it though.
