Thread: If It's All The Same To You, Why Deny Others?

Once again, the basic question of this thread was not specifically about gay marriage. It was about some people who want to control others. The thread morphed into the marriage thing which people can not argue logically against.


Now how about my question regarding those who will not let other drivers pass on a two lane, bi-directional, limited access highway?

Which is what I responded to. The original question. One of the reasonings of the original question was that if it doesn't harm you, why should you have a problem with it? Then I gave an example of something that doesn't harm a person but could possibly harm them in the future.

THAT is what I responded to.

After that I went on to respond to the whole gay mariage thing. But my initial response was to the idea that something that doesn't harm you should be allowed. The response to that was with an example that does not harm a person but might in the future. Offcourse the example was out there. That way it could be clearer. It had nothing directly to do with gay mariage because that wasn't the topic of this discussion.

I wasn't comparing it to gay mariage because that wasn't the topic.


After that I went on to say some things about gay mariage, but that had nothing directly to do with gay mariage and human sacrifice. However the principal was the same. People would (and do) object to both because they fear it might harm then In the future.

It was an illustration of an idea. Not a comparison.

As for the fact that you're my friend, I agree

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

OH HEY! Good news everyone. I just read that if you don't like gay marriage, you don't have to have one. *whew*

You're a bit behind X, that answer has already been given. But I'm glad you confirmed that for those who weren't paying attention.

Deep socio-political discussions degenerating into name calling or scones. Hmmm, I'll have some scones too. Thanks.
Do you have jam and cream too?

I think the main reason why a traditional heterosexual monogamous relationship works, is a lack of information or possibilities to compare.
Even if you skip the monogamous and just stick to heterosexual, you're usually all on your own. In other words: guys know different girls and may be able to compare or girls know different guys etc.
What you don't know is how you compare to people of the same gender.

Nowadays we (at least in europe) live in a society that seems almost addicted to determinations in that field. Like: "I'm an active homosexual male" or else. That stands against the classic isolation policy.

Personally I think that a great deal of that is group pressure determined, none of my concern and doesn't have a pathological background at all. But some people just feel unhappy with partners of the opposite sex and those are the ones who should have the chance to live the life they have to live.

I'm all for intergenetical same sex marriages cause I love my cats, hehehe
