I must have missed it. Exactly what was his marriage about?

I must have missed that too. I don't know what she is talking about. She has been stalking me on this board for quite a while now and tries to make everything personal and about me. I think she has "issues" with me for some reason.

Yet you have no answer?

[yuca]

Is that what you think I am doing? Like I said I don't like to be "coerced" into anything. If that is acting like a bigot then so be it. I would rather be that then a pathetic sheep that goes along with anything they are led to believe. I never said I objected to civil unions did I? Go peddle your PC crap to someone who cares.

Whether or not gay marriages are allowed to exist, it doesn't affect you. You can call them "civil unions" until you turn blue, but everyone else will call them "marriages."

Are you equally as offended when marriage is used to describe other kinds of unions, such as a "marriage between philosophy and psychology"? Or are you offended only when the term is applied only to two people of the same sex?

Btw, you've posted enough on this thread, so it appears that you DO care.

[durango46]

If it's not the majority , how can it be the norm?

it's suppose to be the norm and you know it....

why bother with this conversation because it's ALL about the defense of same sex MARRIAGES which I will never agree with...


so make all the points you like........

man + woman = children THE NORM
without that equation we all become extinct


enjoy

[durango46]

Two people in love who want to share their life together and possibly raise a family. What's more normal than that?

how do you raise a family without using heterosexuals to do so ? you know the norm

[durango46]

The defintion of normal does not require it to be a majority and if it did then gay marriage or even being gay wouldn't be normal for that matter. You can't have it both ways.

you got him....

[durango46]

I know it might seem petty to you but I am extemely defiant. Using the term "marriage" as opposed to "civil unions" is a form of coercion to change the way people think.

wasn't good enough for them

You don't comprehend very well do you? I am not going to even try to explain it again because it is pointless because you are determined to make me out to be something I am not.

How many times to I have to tell you that I object to the coercive nature of the intent not the terms themselves?

Btw, you've posted enough on this thread, so it appears that you DO care.

Care about what?

Newspeak, yes I do think that is something to be concerned about.

[Haberdasher]

There, happy now?

See, this is what I am talking about. You won't let me alone because I don't see things like you do. Too freaking bad.

So, you agree that one man and one woman, married to each other for life, is not normal?

[Smokey 1]

No I don't agree.

Linky

He has long had issues with women on this forum and likes to play the victim and get all dramatic whenever someone dares question him about any position he takes.

Just as this topic doesn't bother him and yet he's attempting to pontificate to others about what is normal and what is not.

To me ~ a marriage is based on a mutual, loving, and willing relationship between two adults who want to be together.

Viewing it as some kind of unwanted life sentence doesn't seem "normal" to me.

Are you really this dense?

and that's fine after all you are entitled to your opinion as we are ours.

I don't think it's an unwanted life sentence by any means. But I do believe that marriage is defined by a man and a woman. It's always been that way. It is the norm as accepted by most people up until NOW.

I had no problem with using the terminology civil unions ( and I know that's my decision)...or whatever else they would choose. They would get all the benefits that a man and a woman have.

Answer my question first, then I'll answer yours. Only fair

[durango46]

Can a hetero woman who can't bear children have a family?

first you know the answer but I will play your little game
normally....no...

but, there are other alternatives that still involve a man and a woman in some way

Normally No is not an answer to what I asked you. It's a yes or no question. Try again
