[QUOTE=Jenkem;30534103]marriage, however, is a traditional and typically religion-defined practice[/QUOTE] marriage dates back to before any of the prominent religions of today even existed, and pre-christian religions weren't as anti-gay
[QUOTE=Crimor;30524746]You know, there is a world outside that overly obese country full of catholic imbeciles you call the united states of america.[/QUOTE] filthy american piiiiiigs way to stereotype an entire nation based on the lowest common denominator just keep pretending you're massively superior because your parents did the horizontal tango outside of america, it must do wonders for your self esteem.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30534115]marriage dates back to before any of the prominent religions of today even existed, and pre-christian religions weren't as anti-gay[/QUOTE] That is not even the point, assuming any of that were true. It's not a part of human nature by default like an emotion, thoughts, ect. It's an institution, and is practiced by many religions in their own way; a familiar concept, and each culture treats it a certain way. Thus, to force one sole interpretation of marriage over all cultures under the UN's wing (which this effectively does when the numerous governments take hints and enforce it) is actually a violation of rights and beliefs in practice no matter how "unfair" it is to the gay community. If it's for the benefits marriage grants, give them civil union. If it's about a title, they should convert to a supporting religion and adhere to that standard, or else leave everyone else alone about it. We shouldn't have to be made to accept another's way of life (this is different than "tolerance") by force of law, which this effectively does by it's very nature.

oh man this thread is going to turn into one of those europe vs usa things right? fuck :suicide:
[QUOTE=analrapist;30523640]Sorry for pointing out that U.N. resolutions are largely meaningless on Sovereign American soil. No need to Flaming/Trolling. Gay Rights will be a problem until the Supreme Court rules on it, and they've done everything in their power to avoid the issue.[/QUOTE] This guy is right you know. Just cause the U.N. (whom is near irrelevant) says be nice to gays doesn't mean it is instantly going to happen and everyone is going to link arms.
[QUOTE=Aman VII;30534217] Just cause the U.N. (whom is near irrelevant) says be nice to gays doesn't mean it is instantly going to happen and everyone is going to link arms.[/QUOTE] Yeah you sure wouldn't want that

[QUOTE=Zeke129;30534227]Yeah you sure wouldn't want that[/QUOTE] :what: I don't think hes implying in any way that we shouldn't listen to the U.N. Anal and Aman have a valid point, just because the U.N. decides it's a good idea doesn't mean that it will happen
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30534227]Yeah you sure wouldn't want that[/QUOTE] I like how you instantly assume I'm anti-gay.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30534203]It's obviously a part of human nature if humans do it.[/QUOTE] Oh yes, of course. There's headhunter tribesmen who kill people, take their heads, and shrink them; this is clearly normal human behavior. Well and truly, it isn't human nature. It's an institution to govern a certain aspect of the human experience, but that's about it.

Why would anyone argue otherwise? But you were talking earlier about what marriage traditionally was, not what people regard it as today, and you had the traditional definition of marriage incorrect.

human nature doesn't exist. in theory, any thing a human does is human nature. if there were humans on a different planet, they would have an entirely different idea of what human nature is. please don't ever try to argue using appeals to nature. it's really stupid

that's my point. in a similar vein, I can say everything is cheese or I can say nothing is cheese. such statements aren't based on anything real and are pointless
[QUOTE=Crimor;30524746]You know, there is a world outside that overly obese country full of catholic imbeciles you call the united states of america.[/QUOTE] Holy shit! Since when?! We need to bring true American democracy and freedom to that world, stat!

At first: "Oh, nice to see some real progress for a change. After seeing it's a U.N. action: "...oh. nevermind."
[QUOTE=Jenkem;30534103]Yes. Let's kill people for disagreeing with a self-proclaimed but altogether pretentious entity like the UN. We're already doing it in Libya, why stop with just dead Arabs? The problem is that there shouldn't even be an issue here. I'm all for equal rights as far as human beings go; marriage, however, is a traditional and typically religion-defined practice, [I]not a "right" inherent to mankind itself between a man and whatever random thing he chooses to be legally joined to[/I], and thus violating it is also a violation of others' rights and beliefs, among other problems. They could make them an appropriation for civil union, but that's enough enough when they're trying to cram their own beliefs down our throat by force of law.[/QUOTE] How does two men you will never meet getting married and being in love infringe on your rights? I'm sorry but you have to clarify because the stupidity of that statement is overwhelming. Also funny that you are against them "cramming their beliefs down your throat", yet your kind are the ones attempting to pass legislation in secular countries that only favors the rules of your religion.
