Pa. governor won't appeal ruling legalizing gay marriage

Strawman/red herring

- - - Updated - - -

Lol, every argument you've made has been utterly demolished.

 

His latest idiocy that we should outlaw A because B is a good thing, isn't even wrong.

 

Couldnt formulate a rational response, could you? So you are left with nothing but emoticons, because you couldnt even think up of a new strawman to scamper after.

 

How could I your comedy act had me laughing so hard I fell out of my chair.

better than derisive dribble that you seem to post

A strawman is the rock of Gibraltar compared to your pennyanti posts. How can I better express how ridiculous you are?

 

What comedy act would that be? String together a few relevant words if you can. Notice how nothing youve posted has as much as a word relevant to shakers claim or my contradictory claim.

 

Don't need to, all one has to dois read your crap.

 

No, you just don't admit it, dixon. When it happens you switch your "reason" for opposing marriage equality and then talk about that for 20-25 posts until you run out of material, declare "victory", and then start in with the next of your 6-7 rationalizations.

And the whole cycle starts over again.

I like "If we don't discriminate against gays, it'll be discrimination!"

Or "If gay marriage is made legal, single motherhood will go up" (Obviously it's so LOW now. :I wonder what gay marriage got Bristol Palin knocked up? )

 

Also, if gay marriage is made legal, straight couples will stop procreating.

And the usual "if we allow this, then <slippery slope of your darkest imagination> is guaranteed."

And of course, "I never said what I said."

 

I actually had some guy on here, from a gay marriage state and claiming to have been married 20 years say that if he know what was going to happen he would not have bothered to get married. His reason was that gay marriage has devalued traditional marriage and made a mockery of the institution. I asked him if his wife knows how he feels about the marriage and if he is planning on a divorce. Never heard back

Oh sh*t I'm giving Dixon ideas

 

Fabricating quotes again I see. Looking for a strawman you can win?

 

Because I never did say that. You made up the quotes yourself and merely attribute them to me. Revealing since there is so much from me you could actually and accurately quote, you still can only rely upon making the (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

 

Gay marriage devalues traditional marriage, because it weakens the definition of marriage. Gay rights proponents want to redefine marriage from "a union of a man and a woman", to a "union of consenting adults".

"Marriage equality" could also be used to justify people marrying relatives, or marrying more than one person. It's consistent to either support traditional marriage, or support polygamy alongside gay marriage.

 

How is Gorn Captain using a strawman arguement?

 

????? Fabricating quotes and attributing them to me. Of course

 

Shouldn't worry about that. Every state with "gay marriage" prohibits "marrying relatives" too closely related. That's why its called "gay marriage" not "union of consenting adults". .

 

What about polygamy? I heard a story in dailymail.com about 3 women who married each other. This does show signs that polygamy will probably be legalized sometime in the future.

By the logic of pro gay marriage people, why not give equal rights to men who want to marry more than one woman? After all, they are consenting adults.

 

I have a cat who just turned 18. He's a consenting adult. Actually in cat world , he was an adult at 2. Nothing on the marriage license about "species" I just can't take you people seriously anymore

 

Why are you discussing cats? I never even mentioned them.

 

Who taught you how to say that Sam? Who is your puppet master? Do you ever actually develop thoughts in your head before writing or are you on auto-regurgitation? What does it mean to "weaken" marriage? What will that look like in the real world for daily life? I'm sure that you don't know but it makes for a nice sound bite.

What do you know about marriage? Ever been married? I bet not. I've been married to a woman, for 24 years. Gay marriage just came to my state. There is a gay couple next door who will now get married and we will go to their wedding. Nothing has changed for us but everything is changing for them. We all still live on the same tree lined suburban street. Kids still walk by going to school, we still mow the laws and wash the cars and go to work. Everyone says good morning including the gay couple. Get over it.

Marriage has been in the toilet in this country for 60 years or so due to all sorts of cultural changes and long before gay marriage was ever talked about. Institutions are strengthened by being more inclusive, by broadening the base. If people have more choices, maybe we can chip away at that 50% divorce rate. How many of those divorces are due to sexual problems where one spouse is gay but tries to live a straight lifestyle because they think they have to in order to be successful or accepted? I don't know either but I would say the number is significant. Look at the former Governor of NJ< Jim McGreevy . Google it. It was tragic.

Marriage has been redefined may times in many ways over the years. This is the next logical step. Any straight person who fears how it will effect their marriage better take a good hard look at that relationship.

 

Other than the current gay marriage legalization trend, what are some other examples of how marriage has been redefined over the years?

 

One more thing. Only YOU and your spouse can define YOUR marriage and make it either strong or weak. Only you and your spouse have the power to make it into what ever it will be. I would advise anyone who can't grasp that simple truth, to stay away from marriage until they do understand that. Otherwise, it will be a miserable failure and it will be those people who are contributing to the demise of marriage as an institution. Not the gay people.

 

Well among other things:

Wives used to be considered property of the husbands
Marriage was also considered to be properly the state of two people of the same race.
Age laws regarding the minimum age has been redefined over and over.
Blood testing laws were implemented
Marriage between cousins has been forbidden or allowed by different states over the years
Oh and fathers used to be able to force their daughters into marriage.

Thats a few.

 

This- I have been married for over 20 years.

Gay marriage would make my wife and I nothing less than more happy about marriage. Why would we not want our gay friends to enjoy the same legal and societal recognition that my wife and I enjoy?

 

dixon, it's not fabrication...it's simplification. Easiest thing in the world ...ask you to "explain" your idea that if we don't discriminate against gays on marriage that's "discrimination".....and just let you go.

So, Sam...if gay marriage was legalized in your state (or it may already be)....

your mom and dad's marriage would be "weakened"? Would they divorce?
