ok, im not opposed to it because:
1. if they're getting married how is that affecting me. 2. When gay ppl "do it", they cant umm..."have it" (i think so newayz), and that'll keep the constantly increasing population of the world down. thats all i can think of right now, did u know, just like until a couple of months ago i was VERY opposed to gays, it just sickened me, but ive changed my thinking (no i have NOT become gay) |

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Feb 22 2004, 7:21 PM) QUOTE omg. you forgot our nation is founded on judeo-christian philosophy. 1/6th isn't a majority, but if you take a look at the US, christianity is the majority. Taken from lonely planet: Protestant (56%), Roman Catholic (28%), Jewish (2%), Muslim (1%). I think we are straying from the topic and are ending up debating the establishment clause. But i would like to point out that both Jefferson and Madison stressed the need for a 'wall of seperation' between church and state QUOTE i say they can get tax breaks, but not the marriage tax breaks. i'm sure gay people receive rebates. but it's unfair that they get the marriage tax break when what they are doing is outside the definition of marriage. The marriage tax breaks were established to encourage responsible spending. The government believed couples that lived together are more likely to spend responsibly than singles. I haven't read any studies taht show homosexuals are more financially irreponsible or that them being together actually creates MORE irresponsible spending. To me marriage is the union of two people who love each other and are committed to each other. What their sex is shouldn't matter. especially when it comes to financial spending. QUOTE What happened was unfortunate but i dont think its indicative of homosexuals as a whole. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/97jun/burr2.htm Please read that and this http://www.jeramyt.org/gay/gayscience.html I'm not saying there is a firm answer but i believe the evidence points towards biology and that given the need for an immediate decision, we should go with biology. |
