[quote who="gmc2" reply="63" id="3005718"]My objection is to religion being thrown into the mix.

[quote who="Starcandy" reply="61" id="3005626"]Don't we also have to question why the concept was defined in such a way, and by whom? Gays have probably been around as long as straight people, so why were they excluded when marriage was defined? Did it happen that way because of religions hold on the world and society, or are there other reasons to consider?[/quote] That's a very good question, a difficult and complex one to answer. However, not getting religion into it, and b

[quote who="Starcandy" reply="56" id="3005559"]K10w3 seems to have said what I was going to say re; marriage and consent. I guess a fundamentally greater reason would be love. It's dubious as to whether an animal has any concept of love. Certainly their behaviour can seem like they love us, but maybe that's nothing more than anthropomorphism on our part.[/quote] As I stated, bestiality was just an example I used. What I am saying is that every concept can be stretched and dist

[quote who="k10w3" reply="53" id="3005512"]No, I absolutely will NOT agree that those simple 10 rules are the recipe for a healthy, happy and truly free society, because the first 4 pertain to a god that I do not believe in and there is no scientific evidence to prove exists, and puts limits on my freedom as a nonbeliever.[/quote] Not going to debate on that, because we would be debating on matters of faith (i.e.; things that cannot be scientifically proven) and thus we would not get

This is such BS - just another scheme to get more money from us, and you can be pretty sure that the extra money will NOT go to public health care. This tax won't stop people from eating fatty foods either (and they know it very well, in fact, they are counting on it). Next thing you know they will be taxing us for going to the beach with the excuse that deliberate and prolonged exposure to the sun causes skin cancer. Sigh. lol

[quote who="Starcandy" reply="41" id="3005062"]Quoting JcRabbit, reply 36Next logical step is bestiality lovers demanding the right to be legally married to their pets. Sigh. I consider you an intelligent person, Jorge. But that is without a doubt, one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard. Marriage is an act performed by two consenting adults. Last time I checked, there is no possible way for an animal to give their consent to such a thing as marriage. [/quote] <

This is a strange world we live in, indeed. One where minorities (and there is a reason why they are minorities) are dictating to majorities what to do and say. The goal of a minority is not to be tolerated, since it NEVER stops there, but to actually BECOME the majority. A bit like the Borg. The problem therefore occurs when the majority forgets the real meaning of the word 'tolerance'. Tolerance is a good thing. But being tolerant of something is NOT the same as acce
