    How it would ensure your future if the man wouldnt have any interest in fucking his woman? :confused:

    Or you will propose another law to ensure that the gay man will have to fuck his wife at least 3 times a week?

    Exactly.

    Well I can't speak for all, but people (hetero or homo) do "conceive" out of love.. I can't say all relationships are like this, even hetero ones : you can have a child without love (ex: rape, divorce, parents neglecting) and several other problems.

    I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They're not hurting anyone, and no one else really has the right to tell them they can't be together.

    There are plenty of children in the world, I'm sure our population is just fine. If they want children then they can go to orphanages and adopt a child. I'm sure they child won't care as long as they have a safe and loving home.

    Other people shouldn't care either, at least the child has some place safe to go, and I'm sure the couple would take good care of the child, since they can't have their own.

    And religion shouldn't be able to stop them either, because people have different beliefs and plenty of non-religious people get married.

    I think people should stop worrying so much about the gays and be upset about more important things - like rapists and child predators.

    One point is, the majority of couples are not homosexual, thus, the children of homosexual couples will be criticized, even though they can't do anything about it. It's a pattern society has followed for thousands of years; the minority are the "losers" to lots of people. Sure, it ain't fair, but in this case, it's just disgusting and wrong.

    Dang, tied again at 9-9.

    I can't blame you for feeling "disgusted" because you're straight. Much like how a gay person would feel grossed out by.. being intimate with the opposite sex :)

    There is a difference between lust and love.
    Lust is what causes rape - when a person (what the heck is the verb for lust, lusts? Okay lets go with that.) lusts someone and they get no response, that usually causes rape and other problems. If it was love the person would just let it go and be happy that the other person is happy.

    I guess one of the big differences is that lust is selfish, and love is selfless.

    Plus those children do end up usually having "problems" later in life because of that, and divorce rates for gay "couples" are higher than hetero couples.

    The only problem i have and will always have with certain gay people - is the attitude and how they act. All this bullshit talk like little sissies and way too feminine - i don't like it. It's a pose.
    There are plenty of gay people who don't put up poses like these, and you can talk to them about anything and everything.

    ... and sad fully, suicide rates are really high for gay people/teen.

    How are gay marriages lusty? Lusty doesn't usually correlate with long term commitment.. or even
    starting a family..



    That's funny, but it's more of a personality thing right? Because there are annoying gay and straight people!

    Sorry, Iul, but did you read what you wrote?

    How would a law allowing gays to marry prevent heterosexual men and women from getting together? How would the two have anything whatsoever with each other? The only worry, under your scenario, is if they made a law disallowing heterosexual union. Then I'd take up arms.

    Do you not see how this is an utterly bizarre argument, kind of like saying we should disallow windsurfing because we need to ensure skiing continues?

    I believe in live and let live, within the bounds of the law.

    As such I believe Gays should be able to marry, why not?

    Prior to the UK civil partnership there was a massive disadvantage to Gay couples in respect of inhertance tax and this resulted in many Gay's paying an unjust amount of tax should one of the partners die.

    In the UK there is no inhertance tax payable on a spouses estate when they died, the surviving 'part' of the partnership has no tax to pay. Gay couples because their union was not recognised by Law were therefore at a disadvantge - clearly this was unjust and needed ammending.

    This alone is justifiaction for a recognised in Law union without even venturing into the emotional aspects.

    What about straight couples that are not going to have children?

    I, for one, never ever want children. Should I be not allowed to marry? After all, my marriage wouldn't ensure the continuation of the human species.

    I think it's absurd to discuss something which is between 2 adults, in a free country. If you punish people for being gay, you can't criticize countries across the world about how they treat their people over sexual issues. It's the same mentality, with harsher forms of punishment.

    You get Green Rep; that's one of the most hilarious thread's post I've seen in a long time. Personally who cares we as society have bigger issues to worry about in life then what two consenting adults wish to do with their lives and marital status.

    1st thing is to note, any rep you give in this form dont count, so you gave me gray rep.
    2nd thing is gay people are killed by states, or assholes, just for being gay. so i care.

    that makes it a choice then huh? :rolleyes:
