    Trust me, a goat or sheep can fight if they don't like something.

    :lol:

    Yeah. talking to young single urban active available homosexual males, this is like comparing sex, alcohol and drug in college students with established married soccer moms.

    What a fail. Your arguments actually ADVOCATE that we should have homosexuals encouraged to settle down in stable relationships.

    Further, the COMPLETE ABSENCE of ANY smears towards lesbian citizens says their marriage freedoms should have been set up long ago!

    Having gay young people observe stable married gay couples is ENTIRELY a good example for young people to see. It would also be good for rabid homophobes to see, as well, may not so many will fall to fascist ideas of controlling other people's live.

    Why stop at just Gay marriage? Shouldn't polygamists also have the right to marry anyone and how many they care to marry. Then there's Pedophiles that prefer young children to live in marriage. In the Middle East marriages between men and young girls of 8 years of age are permissible. Should marriages between brother and sister, father and daughter, or mother and son also be included? Where does this stop?

    Age of Consent is a good start. I personally don't really care what other consenting adults do with themselves. Polygamy in spirit can do whatever, in the eyes of the law you only get one spouse for benefits. Kids can't consent so that's out too. Other then that, people should be free to marry whatever consenting adult they choose too.

    So marriage rights derive from procreation?

    So you would agree that sterile hetero couples should be banned from marrying yes?

    Don't you know?

    Conservatives think it is icky and therefore they want the government to use guns to stop people from doing it.

    And an Argument from Tradition is a logical fallacy.

    Why should the government give two (*)(*)(*)(*)s about your tradition?

    Generally, tradition exists for a reason and is worth respecting. At the very least, too many major changes too quickly is hard for any society to absorb. Granted, there are some truly evil traditions, some discriminatory traditions, some just plain thoughtless traditions. But nonetheless, even the worst must be corrected one at a time with all deliberate speed.

    So an argument from tradition is not a logical fallacy per se. An argument that traditions should never be questioned or altered is the fallacy.

    Head stuck firmly in sand personified. Middle ground unknown, compromise incomprehensible, equal rights offensive.

    Libertarianism personified.

    Unless someone is causing harm to another person or their property, that government should stay the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of their business.

    You on the other hand seem to be fascism personified.

    And you're forgetting about how wonderful bestiality would be.

    Some people can't quite get that traditional rules exist for a reason.

    It's the same way they argue that none of the laws based upon their ideological agenda will ever have negative consequences. Just roll the tape on the dem's assurances concerning 0bama care.

    Because government is of the people, it reflects the needs, wants and desires of the people. It's this era of 0bama where government thinks it knows better then the people, so the congress hide their deliberations behind closed doors, and then rush a vote thru to the president before the people have time to understand and make their feelings known.

    Nonetheless, it's nice to get past the Bush administrations, which knew better than the people. And the Clinton administration, which ALSO knew better than the people. As did the previous Bush administration, and the Reagan administration, and the Carter administration...

    It's one of the unfortunate things about a society and a government - ANY decision or action, no matter what, is bound to offend someone. Where positions are uncompromising and the vote is close, ANY decision is guaranteed to REALLY REALLY offend a whole LOT of people.

    Those who have studied American history are well aware that today's offenses are truly minor compared to some in the past. Kind of like how the local neighborhood block looks like the whole world to a 5-year-old.

    prove it's a behavior and not genetic.

    also, interracial marriage is just as much of a behavior as same sex marriage.

    Rahl, that's like saying "many people have won the Nobel Prize." Compared to the number of people who have been to the moon, that may be true. But I think we need to remember the relativity of your statement.

    The prepoderence of people "doing anal" is going to be on the gay side of the fence. As much as you like to promote that heteros are all about anal sex, I'm just having trouble imagining how they prefer it to vaginal or oral? The fact is that they don't. I've talked to hundreds of women in my life on the topic of sex and none of them said they like it "back there". In fact, most have said it's painful and unpleasant, and with the danger of HIV and bisexual males they're not sure about, they shun the practice as a lifesaving measure...

    It's on the buggery side to prove that it's NOT a choice.

    And even then I'll never have a doubt that for some (large) fraction of men it's a clear choice.

    Every time proof has been cited that it is behavioral and from an environmental source, gay advocates always defer to "our studies from Berkeley say differently". Or "the APA doesn't verify that..". They ignore what the Mayo Clinic and CDC say as "second rate to our cherry-picked studies".

    Once again, for what it's worth, I'll leave you with some very prestigious and weighty citations and links. And we can wait for gay advocates here to say why they "feel they aren't credible"..

    A little history of the "evolving" American Psychological Association is in order...

    And from a past president of the American Psychological Association [APA]

    Nearly half of all women have had anal sex. High nineties for people who do oral, so you're numbers are way off or the moon is a heavily populated orb.

    First, I find it curious you inquiring of "hundreds" of women about whether they like getting screwed in the bum. Weird. What's more, I can only imagine you may have consulted your church group, by the sounds of it.
