This is pure and utter bullshit. The part about our society not being hurt by certain things. Women's rights may have been the right thing to advance morally but the feminists have sure as shit hurt this country. Tell me what the country was like in the 50s. I wasn't there, but from what I have witnessed, men worked and women stayed at home and raised children. The man provided a home, a car and family vacations and such. The women taught the children to read and write and watched them when they weren't at school. Fast forward 50 years and most women HAVE to work. There are very few one income families and the ones I see live paycheck to paycheck because the couple (or just the man) is stubborn and wants to live that way. There may have been plenty of horrible things in the past, but there are plenty of things we have screwed up in the future. PS....when I am outnumbered in a discussion 100 to 1 because I am talking to people from the Pacific Northwest, I tend to try and tread lightly as this board is my stop for Trailblazer info. Not discussion with a bunch of loony lefties. So, I will say what I feel like but try not to get banned. I admitted that my disgusting sister clouds my perspective on this issue, that doesn't make me a troll. That just makes me like someone in a debate about abortion, I have very firm feelings on it and it would take a lot to change.
You know, I bet the billions of cows we slaughter for food would rather get a little back door action from some crazy guy once in a while. You probably want to stop everyone from eating meat too...except gay guys.
What if the dog is the "giver"? As for pedophillia.....its exploitation, but again, its been tolerated in the past....perhaps as society changes, it will be more tolerated in the future. you never know.
I think that's an excellent point. There's definitely an ethical dilemma to slaughtering animals when we don't need to for survival--essentially for "entertainment" (good taste). Clearly, animal rights fall well down the ladder of most people's (including mine) ethical priorities compared to rights for humans. But I could certainly envision society moving away from killing animals for food in the future. I don't know that that will happen, but it might.
That's assuming there is a hell. That said, there is a biological-survival necessity for heterosexuality, so I'm not sure what your point was or is.
Why? If you make a good point, rather than merely an attempt at "button-pushing," I'm happy to respond.
I always make good points. You missed the part about calling a tv a watermelon. People used to draw on cave walls. Now we feel like we are super smart and shit. It all boils down to what gets taught in the schools. Think about it.
I didn't miss that, I just didn't feel there was a lot of insight. There's no redefinition going on, because the idea that "marriage" always has and always must mean between a man and a woman is essentially religious in nature. Marriage does also mean a partnership...so there doesn't need to be a redefinition to encompass two people of the same sex partnering. The idea that this is a step towards a loss of social coherence doesn't seem very reasonable. Nobody's going to lose all sense of what's what if homosexual couples can make the same commitment to each other that hetereosexual couples make. I think that's reversed. What gets taught in schools depends on societal beliefs. Alien overlords don't set school curriculum, society does. The trend for democratic societies has been to progress towards more individual rights, insofar as they don't infringe upon other people.
Saying that should be unconstitutional! The belief in god is sacred to all humans, even if they don't want it to be!
I'd like to see these "so-called" studies your referring to. I seriously doubt their validity. I have no opposition to gay marriage as homosexuality is seen in many species as well as humans. Homosexuals raising their offspring is not however and is unnatural.
Man, I wonder how Golden State is going to defend out bigs down low? Oh my bad, I thought this was a forum about basketball. Sorry.
