Are you in favor Same Sex Marriage? Why/Why not?
NOTE: I read the rules. This isn't political, as I'm not taking any side of a political party.
If this gets out of hand, however, I will close the thread, and erase the OP.
Calmly state your standpoint, why you have that standpoint, and respectfully listen/disagree with someone else's.
The -blam!- filter should not be breached, and there should be no hurt feelings from this thread. I merely want to know the Flood's standpoint on the matter.
I personally am strongly for it.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I haven't so much as glanced at the chick-fil-a since it was discovered they gave money to anti--blam!--blam!- organizations.
Love is love.
And if Chick-fil-a can say their opinion, and discriminate against -blam!--blam!-s, I can say my opinion and not eat there.
OP Lives in Dallas BTW

If you pay taxes, you support discrimination, among other, much more terrible crimes. Your tax money has been used to prop up ruthless dictators, for example. So the question you have to ask yourself, and this goes for X as well, is whether you're going to try and live in an ideal world where you can completely live by your principles or whether you're just going to live by them to the best of your ability. [/quote] Or, the money goes to the local school, roads, and salaries of police officers and teachers... I'm really struggling to find your point. While I can't control where my tax dollars go, I CAN control where MY money goes.

No. According to a book called the bible it's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. Just sayin'

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RECON828 I dunno. I used to be completely OK with it but I'm not sure on the exact definition of marriage. I'm under the impression that it was originally designed to be a union between a man and a woman, with that being the whole point of it. If this is true, I don't see the point in changing the whole point of the ceremony purely just because it's politically correct. In that case, I obviously don't have a problem with them being together or anything like that, just think that it goes against the definition. If the impression I'm under is a bad one (and I'm aware it most likely is), then I see no problem with it at all. I'm not sure what it is and don't care enough to google. Please don't bite my balls if I'm wrong about it. Honestly, I wish the rights given to married couples could be accessed without being married. I find it a bit of a pointless constitution, to be honest.[/quote]Should society base itself off of loose definitions or by what benefits said society in terms of happiness and peace? Also, there is no formal, single-tier definition, there are many.

Yes. There's no reason we shouldn't have it. [Edited on 08.11.2012 12:11 PM PDT]

I am for it. If those in favor of their identical gender prefer that, it´s their choice in their power. Just like if I enjoy the opposite gender, it´s my choice in my power.

I presented my opinion back in a Chick-Fil-A thread (some time ago) when I called Fatty a jackass. You proceeded to simply call me 'hostile'. Meanwhile, my argument was praised and called a good compromise.[/quote] What's this unyielding enmity you've created towards me? I've [i]never[/i] had anything against you, and, yes, I do stand by the notion your hostility was uncalled for, as it is right now ("Put a dick in it?"). I don't recall butting heads with you anywhere else, so what's the deal? Fat's arguments weren't very good, and he wasn't reading your response very well, perhaps I didn't, either. So I apologize for not properly reading your reasoning. If you could find the thread or just repeat what you said, I might be able to understand where you're coming from.

In fact, all you are doing is barging into a thread (Which no one is requiring you to be in) And slamming it. I'm not making you be in here.[/quote] Don't be stupid. Who's opinion is it that I'm slamming? I made no statement regarding the content of the OP or any other post. I'm just sick of the same threads being spammed over and over in cycles.

I might as well add that I had never even heard of the "Chic-Fil-A" restaurant chain until this whole shabam.
