toldailytopic: Same-sex marriage: for it, or against it?

[Silent Hunter]

I don't care if I am the only one saying it

it must be said

. . . even if it's demonstratively . . . wrong?

. . . why would you want to do that?

 

[Silent Hunter]

if there are no children involved and two people agree that they should be divorced,

can you give me one reason why they should stay together?

. . . why should anyone do that?

. . . you're only making OUR point.

 

[chrysostom]

Which has to do with your assertion how exactly?

so you don't understand

 

[chrysostom]

. . . why should anyone do that?

stay together?

for the sake of the child

 

[Town Heretic]

I don't completely agree. Certain homosexual couples couple have ceremonies with no legal recognition. Anyone can do so.

Then you aren't talking about marriage, which was what I and the OP addressed. I understand you can have rite without a marriage contract, but you can't have a marriage contract without rite.

so you don't understand

. . . :doh: . . .

How about marriages where there's no children involved and the couples in question remain happily wed? Can you give me one good reason as to how they've not fulfilled their wedding vows? If not then your assertion that the purpose of marriage is to protect the child is once again sunk.

Get over it Chrys. You're on a sinking ship and you're running out of liferafts.

lain:

Chrys? Have these people fulfilled their vows? Yes or no?

 

[chrysostom]

do you understand the significance of a woman staying home with her child?

Answer my last question please Chrys.

 

[Silent Hunter]

do you understand the significance of a woman staying home with her child?

. . . what does this have to do with same-sex marriage? . . . :idunno:.

 

[Silent Hunter]

Answer my last question please Chrys.

. . . you want chrys to answer a . . . question?

. . . :rotfl: . . .

 

[Arthur Brain]

. . . you want chrys to answer a . . . question?

. . . :rotfl: . . .

Aye, a forlorn hope maybe but while there's life and all that....

. . . life's too short to wait for chrys to answer a question . . . reasonably anyway . . . :chuckle:.

I think he's pretty effective. He doesn't have a rational counter, so he bogs the thread down in an equally irrational side bar.

It's like shaking the old Magic 8 Ball and hoping for a conversation.

correct although
lets wait
and
see.

. . . yet I'd be banned should I do the same things he does . . .

. . . no irony on TOL goes unpunished . . . wait and see.

Not if you were serving the interests of the authority, which run contrary to the points being made against Chrys. You just have to understand which way the windmill is tilted. There's a bias in play and it isn't hidden.
