Support for same sex marriage grows... ever stronger

[Ben Kenobi]

Excellent. So you're in favour of gay marriage, as in gay men marrying gay men, and gay women marrying gay women?

Nope, because the same health consequences show up.

[Ming]

So BK... it all comes down to a health issue.. Another lame argument.

People have been allowed to select unhealthy options all their lives, and the government allowes it. There is no difference here. Just because something is Less Healthy doesn't mean it should be illegal.

So now what argument are you going to use... because health is a meaningless one.

[Ben Kenobi]

People have been allowed to select unhealthy options all their lives, and the government allowes it.

Again, the government permits, it does not endorse. I'm not saying homosexuality should be illegal, I am arguing that the government should not recognise gay marriage.

[Ming]

They recognise that people like fast food... So why not gay marriage.
They recognise that people like to ski... So why not gay marriage.
They recognise that people like to drive motorcycles... So why not gay marriage.

Again... your health argument is totally bogus. Find a real argument.

[Asher]

Ben's never had a real argument. Ever. EVER.

Not sure why people are bothering. Once a bigot, always a bigot.

I'm fairly certain I'm probably healthier and in much better shape than Ben. Proof that being gay is awesome, isn't it.

[Ming]

Ben's never had a real argument. Ever. EVER.

Especially when it comes to all the lame empty arguments he has tried against gay marriages... He has NEVER come up with a single valid argument. And I don't ever expect to see one from him, because there is none.

[Ben Kenobi]

They recognise that people like fast food... So why not gay marriage.

Do they give you money off your taxes if you order from Mickey D's?

They recognise that people like to ski... So why not gay marriage.

Do they offer tax incentives to take a ski holiday?

They recognise that people like to drive motorcycles... So why not gay marriage.

Do they defray your expenses when you file for a class 6 license?

Government doesn't endorse any of these activities, in fact, it imposes regulations and restrictions.

Exactly. So... don't encourage the bigot.

[Ben Kenobi]

Bigot, right.

[Ramo]

Yes. You are a bigot.

[Ben Kenobi]

I can't be. My white hood is in the cleaners.

[Heraclitus]

This is a bit OT but can I just why "bigot" is such a bad word in America? The Slovenian translation isn't used in as insulting a manner and I don't often see Brits use the in exactly the same contexts.

[Kitschum]

In my drunken mist I thought the thread title said support had grown stranger. I was expecting ....something else entirely

[MrFun]

I never said anything about 'longer'. You've read that in. All I've said is that on average, those who marry live longer then those who for whatever reason opt out.

There have also been claims such as this, that apply to long-term lesbian and gay couples. Such claims say that gay men and lesbians who are in long-term relationships or full marriage with another person of same gender and sexual orientation live longer and happier lives than single gay men and lesbians.

Too bad you need to be a ****ing bigot and want to deprive gay men and lesbians such better quality of life.

[Ming]

Do they give you money off your taxes if you order from Mickey D's?

However, they allow people to make an unhealthy decision... which is the basis for you denying gays the right to marriage. The government allows people the FREEDOM OF CHOICE to make unhealthy decisions... so there is no basis for using the Health Issue as a reason to not allow gay marriages.

Again... we are talking about the Freedom of Choice. And the governments position is quite clear on this issue... THEY ALLOW IT!

And as far as your Promotion crap... the answer is simple based on your twisted logic. Let gays get married and take away the tax advantages from everybody. Then there would no longer be any discrimination.

So again... using health as an excuse is just a joke and a bad and worthless argument... just like all your other arguments. Go find a real one.
