Same-sex marriage opinion?

Do you think it should be allowed, I think over 50% of Americans already support it so it probably will be legalized soon.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Marinade [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PheonixofLight How does other species being -blam!- in nature prove it's natural for humans? We are sentient beings. The ONLY ones on Earth. We should NOT, for ANY reason, be compared to other animals. AT ALL.[/quote] Actually we are not the only sentient beings. Sentience - the ability to feel, perceive or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences That actually applies to many animals. Even cats and dogs. Sapience is what you wanted. It's the ability of an organism or entity to act with appropriate judgement. So foresight, knowledge, or the ability to plan. So even that is arguably not confined to humans. Especially given that Crows are known to not only have language, but regional dialects. Can work together, describe faces to each other, recognize patterns, and problem solve. Dolphin's have shown it as well. So have Octopus.[/quote] Regardless of my failure, there are, obviously, no other species that has reached anywhere near our intellectual capability, creativity and individuality as a species. Unless Hitchhiker's Guide is the history of the future.O_O

Anyway, humans and other mammals are obviously meant to reproduce with the opposite sex, this neurological evolution would make organisms attracted to that opposite sex in a -blam!- manner to engage in reproduction. So clearly we are meant to be attracted to the opposite sex to actually keep our species going. The vast majority of humanity is straight. Simply put, being -blam!- is abnormal. Its not that hard. If an organism is attracted to the same sex, then he/she has diverged from the established evolutionary traits. [/quote]Unless -blam!--blam!-ity is meant to prevent overpopulation.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dpking1 To be honest, I don't care if it's legalized. Doesn't make a difference to me since I'm not a -blam!-.

  • "-blam!--blam!-ity is found in every culture, every religion, every nation, in both female and male, and at all ages. It has been found since time immemorial and is in fact as old as human itself. It is not something very different from a left-handedness, which is seen in minority population but is still normal. It is not a handicap by which a -blam!--blam!- is not able to perform certain physical or mental activities which a hetero-blam!- can. Except for -blam!- orientation, a -blam!--blam!- is similar to a hetero-blam!-. It is neither a genetic defect nor a biological abnormality. -blam!--blam!-s are normal people with a different -blam!- orientation."

That is, they normally occur (although at lower rates than hetero-blam!-s).
