I can play that silly game, too.

I don't have a problem with tax cuts for the wealthy, but where do you draw the line? Once their tax liability has been reduced to zero, do the wealthy then begin charging us for the jobs they provide?

No junior, I don't see it. Where are you going (besides down the slippery slope fallacy)?

Nobody qualifies more than someone fixated on defining abnormal sexual behavior.

Yes, you might want to think about that. Sexual behavior, the "perversion" of the acts themselves, and the subsequent destruction of society that is rooted in these acts seems to be all you talk about:

Heterosexual sex is normal - so no it doesn't gross me out to imagine other heterosexuals in the act.

Obsessive thoughts about people in flagrante delicto is a problem, and there are people who can help. But admitting there is a problem is the first step!

Multiple people in a marriage comes later...

NAMBLA will be the death of us all!

I can't figure out how a thousand-member organization can wield such great power over 300 million, but they're doing it. Just look. They've got you frightened.

So this is really all about your choice of fantasy material?

It will definitely be a field day for attorneys if plural civil unions are legalized. I dont care what consenting adults do, but I just can fathom how things like, insurance coverage, home ownership, divorce, child support and custody, funeral arrangements, medical decisions, retirement, ss benefits, government assistance, etc. are going to be handled by the state.

No, there wasn't an option for TWO consenting adults regardless of Sexual orientation, there was only an option for Straight marriage and for Gay Marriage, the issue isn't as black and white as you may think.. I support Gay Marriage AND I support Straight Marriage..

I don't know and I could care less who anyone "sleeps with".. I don't stay up all night thinking about what football players do in the locker rooms.. It's obvious that some seem to be adamently against Gay Marriage but seem to be bizarrely fixated on the Sexual behavior of homosexuals..

I voted for straight marriage and gay marriage. Sorry, polygamists, I have to understand the logistics of divorce rights, widow(er) benefits, child support and all that stuff before I can vote for you. It's a lot more complicated when there are more than two people involved. That's not to say it can't be done, but I think it'll take some major rehashing, and I don't have any ideas about that.

Could someone please tell me why fellatio is OK if a woman is doing it but not a man? I really fail at comprehending the "abnormal sex acts" gripe. Thanks.

The foundation of our society is on the rocks because of gay marriage and homosexuality in popular culture. There is homosexuality in the media on a daily basis, on television, in celebrity culture, and pop culture.

Homosexual marriage will erode the family values of American society which venerate marriage between male and female to the eventual degradation of interpersonal relationships between a male and female. homosexuals engage in abnormal sexual practices because it is the physical act of sex defines what and who a homosexual is.

As an opponent of "gay marriage" explain to me, using precise logic, the sequence of events wherein legalizing gay marriage in this country would as you claim lead to the destruction of the family unit in American society?

Just one hypothetical sequence with no logical gaps or broad assumptions. And if you cannnot, then please explain how a modern society can create a law based on reasoning that is not logically sound.
