Wow, you're such a rebel. Frankly, I'm sick of all of this "counterculture" movements that smell of angsty teen and hippy.
"You cannot tell me what to do!" well, they do so each time you get a parking ticket. So what really is your problem?
Quote:Definitions change, laws change, as society changes.Change change change. Yes, changes occur. But certain things do have core definitions that do not change. One such thing is marriage. You can have a polygamous marriage, or monogamous. But it'll still be between a man and a woman.
Quote:My point is that laws must evolve or else fall by the wayside as they lose relevance with the society that spawned them.And you say that the marriage of gays is of such importance to our society, that if we don't implement this law, marriage will die out?
Wow.
Quote: If the law was changed tomorrow and gun ownership was legalised, does that mean I would have to rush out and stock up on UZIs and automatic shotguns?Well, you certainly can do so.
Quote:Similarly, if same-sex marriage was fully legalised, would I have to rush out to a gay bar and flash my ass(ets)?You certainly can do so if you want to.
But this isn't about that.
Just as this marriage thing is of great symbolic value to the homosexuals, it's of great value to us.
It symbolizes the family, the family that needs to be kept alive if society wants to survive, really.
