You mean how you're hiding behind your own bigotry against gay marriage by pretending it has anything more to do with polygamy than two consenting straight people getting married.

That's fine if you're against it, but don't try and turn it around on someone else to try and pretend it's going to lead to something that's just as connected to straight marriage.

No. I think the comparison to polygamy is ludicrous and have not defended it or offered that hypothesis.(I think OP offered it tongue in check just by reviewing his text) What I above wrote is exactly what I meant.

The red hair or right/left hand arguement is fairly stupid as well. Both sides have their idiots.

Wait... you're not even married yet you're trying to "protect" something that you're not even a part of.... from people who DO have opportunity and desire to enter into same?

You "Rome fell" types realize that Rome was at its peak when it was most decadent and pagan, right?

.... and that it fell AFTER its conversion to Christianity?




Oh, and by the way, the United States is not declining. Most anti-gay people are just getting old, and are projecting your own loss of stamina, energy and influence onto everyone and everything else. You people are the same types who believe crime and drugs are "spiraling out of control" when in FACT, crime has been down ever since the boomer generation aged out of the street life and into the Viagra era.

Rome also fell from spreading itself too thin. I'm not arguing with you, but just wanted to point that part out as well. In fact history has shown us time and again what happens to empires that spread themselves too thin. Perhaps the United States should learn from history so that it doesn't happen to us.

It's not really that I'm trying to protect marriage as much as it is I'm exposing a lie.

Yeah, I need multiple lunatics screaming at me about taking out the garbage. Better idea would be to just legalize prostitution. It's time we men we fully liberated from marriage altogether....
