i don't understand how gay marriage infringes on the rights of anyone? if it's not infringing on your rights, why should it be illegal?


Creating arbitrary rights infringes on everyone.

If marriage was never a right for straight people in the first place (and it's not), but it then becomes a full blown right for gays, not only do you undermine the institutional credibility of marriage, but you're concocting government sponsored discrimination.

On top of this, the morality of homosexual relationships would be forced upon others who don't necessarily agree with them. Lest we forget the case in San Francisco where the first grade public school teacher brought her students to her big gay wedding.

Gay marriage doesn't work because the process wasn't designed to work with two people of the same sex. As a result, the resources allocated by the state to gay marriages prove to be wasteful. There's no possible family to invest in; my taxpayer dollars would go to a vacuum for their irrational desire for superfluous rights.

that wasn't the question. if the actions of another person don't infringe on YOUR rights, why should they be illegal? this goes beyond marriage. how does gay marriage harm YOU in any way? do you need to use the govt to enforce your views of 'normal' on everyone around you? you can't just let others live their lives as long as they aren't taking away your rights?

If you can't see how that paragraph you quoted outlines how gay marriage undermines the rights of others, then you're not thinking about the situation hard enough baby.

But I did edit my post if that helps your myopic POV any honey.

In any event, this post of yours sounds more like apologism for wasteful spending and nonsensical rights than an actual explanation on how gay marriage is practical--Or are you admitting it's not?

I've yet to see an answer (a non-retarded Pariah one anyways) My guess is it just makes some very small people feel better, especially after Obama was just elected.

if you don't want to answer the question, say so. rights aren't being violated or infringed on by gay marriage. if you want the state to exist and you want it to recognize marriage, it has to do so equally to all citizens. i'm arguing more from the point of view that ANY action done by a person shouldn't be illegal UNLESS it infringes on the rights of another.

it goes beyond marriage but i see how you are willing to use the govt to enforce your views on this subject, so i can see how you'd be having problems with the bigger issue of personal freedom.

whether gay marriage (or indeed anything) is "pratical" or not is irrelevant. the only thing that matters is if it infringes on the rights of others, if not, it should not be illegal.

I already answered the question love. Read again.

Marriage is available to all citizens. You just can't morph its institution or else it works improperly and compels the state to unnecessarily nebulize tax status.

I already explained this when I brought up government advocating discriminatory rights. Do try to comprehend next time dear.

There was a ceremony with ROY BATTY several years back. It ended poorly, as ROY can't be tied down to any one man.

I already explained how creating arbitrary rights infringes on the lives and fundamental rights of others dearest. That's not confined to the "marriage as a right" issue. It will not do you any good to deny that simply because you're unable to comprehend that.

If it's impractical as a right, that means it reinforces discriminative tendencies that push views on society that not everyone would agree with; federal law would be favoring one view more than another rather than remain objective. I even went so far as to give you an example of how a gay school teacher pushed her newly governemnt sponsored morality on school kids and you ignored it. If you'd read more carefully, you'd understand that I stipulated as such pookie.

The main argument here against gay marriage is that it's not a "right". I'll grant you that; marriage of any kind, whether it be the traditional marriage between a man & a woman or a civil union, is not a guaranteed right. It's a privilege.

 Quote:
The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution:
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States"


As long as the union in question regards two consenting adults who enter into a legal arrangement stemming from a committed (preferably monogamous, but necessarily) relationship, what's the problem?

Abortion is a privilege. Attending desegrated schools, churchs, and restaurants are priveleges. The Constitution has been interpreted to protect those. Why not gay marriage?

I really hate to wade back into this. First off, I'm not against gay marriage, only court-mandated gay marriage. Second, as mentioned before this subject has been beaten to death here at the RKMBS.

However....

Once you start making the argument that marriage is "right" or "privilege" that is protected by the Constitution and, therefore, can't normally be abridged or regulated, you create legal precedent that binds future decisions by the courts in other areas. When that happens, there is no way to create that precedent without, logically, also opening the door for such things as: (a) marriage between siblings; (b) polygamy.

In each case, you have consenting adults entering into a legal relationship that is at least as committed as a "traditional" marriage. Therefore, just as Snarf asks with gay marriage, a proponent of incest or polygamy can ask "what's the problem?"

yes, what is the problem? if they are both consenting adults, who cares what the make up of the relationship is? it doesn't hurt me in any way for 3 people to be married to each other. or 2 brothers.

also, i'm not arguing this from the view of being constitutionally protected right. the constitution is all well and good but it's not the basis from which we derive our rights. we are born with them. so, as long as the actions of a person do not infringe on the rights of others, it shouldn't be illegal.

No it's not. I already explained this and you agreed.

An institution is not a privilege.

Redefining the purpose of an institution is especially not a privilege.

Just because someone's denied from doing something, that doesn't make it unconstitutional. Just because something's not a right, that doesn't mean it's a privilege.

Even if marriage were considered a privilege, it's not something that's denied to gay individuals. They can still get married. They just can't change the process of marriage according to their irrational whims.

Puddin', I think you may very well be mentally retarded.

Both polygamy and incest are illegal because they have a way of thickening up the blood.
