I don't really care what the "meaning of life" is. Science has nothing to do with that. You just attempted to say that science does something it doesn't actually attempt to do. Simply put, your understanding of science is a joke.

All life exists to pass on its genetic material to the next generation. Even a paramecium can grasp this concept.

Except that not all individual life does procreate. There is always a part of the group that does or cannot. Your blanket claims ignore an entire part of biological behavior. Again, your science is a joke.

The purpose of life is not chess, learning classical piano, shtooping other dudes, or becoming a world-class triathlete. The purpose of your life, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to make babies and then die.

Chess, playing the piano, bungee jumping, or coming onto threads and being an ignorant douche, well those are all choices made by people who have the intelligence to do so. Comparing it to sexuality is strange, considering sexual attraction is a biological, uncontrollable desire, unlike choosing to see a movie on a Saturday night. Having a baby is also not necessarily biological. It's biological to have sex and to have children, but there is no biological imperative at the individual level that every person must have a child. Indeed, that is true for many species, not only humans. Perhaps you should do a bit more research before embarrassing yourself like this.

I realize this takes a profound scientific mind to boil down the meaning of life to this one constituent. If you need to, smoke another joint and open your mind to the possibility that I am right. Life exists to procreate. Frogs, beavers, lilacs, even Sean Penn. All exist to procreate.

Heavy schitt I know, just ponder your existence for a minute and you will come to that realization.
I actually ponder the existance of people like yourself more and wonder how many generations it will take before such stupidity is selected out of the gene pool. Let's all hope very soon and you win a Darwin Award someday.

I could, sure, but why waste that kind of effort? You're not exactly a worthy opponent, though I think it's cute how you think you are.

Yawn. Ok kid you've put me to sleep now. You can go sniff your own socks now with a smug sense of satisfaction. You really put me in my place didn't you?

Just remember, the purpose of your life, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to make babies and then die. From this day forward, every time you think you have come up with an answer to the meaning of life, you will subconsciously cross-check it against my profound arguments, and realize that there is no meaning to life other than to reproduce, pass on genetic material, then die. Stomp your feet like a petulant toddler all you want about it. It is still true and resistance is futile.

Don't like how marriage refers to opposite genders? Then don't get married.

Dude, you don't even qualify as an adversary, based on the comments I've read so far... not a single point that can't be easily debated? So scared.
Even scared, angry, irrational, rampaging 5 year olds can bruise your shins if they get within kicking range.

But consider what may be causing him to act like that:

Now who's playing with the weak sauce.

I've never thought about the meaning of life, actually. I'm not religious, not spiritual. I find the concept of a god or higher power meant for those with low IQs and who wet the bed at the thought of death. Maybe I will have kids, maybe not. Maybe I'll just watch a movie that has a baby in it instead. None of this changes your embarrassingly dumb understanding of biology, and I suspect that if there's any petulant stomping going on, it's when you can't get a back-alley bj behind the local bear bar.

You're only debating whether gay people should exist, not whether they should be allowed to marry. Focus please.

look, to me it does not matter. I dont believe that the federal or state goverments should be involved with marriages at all.

civil unions yes, as that is a court matter. but marriages are the pervue of the church, not goverment.

strange, I know people that are gay and lesbian that do not think homosexuals should be allowed to marry, including my daughter.

Says the poster who's insulted every gay & lesbian on the board, and even some of us straight folks. You're not one who should be playing "manners police," buddy.
