Same-sex marriage: Will justices follow popular opinion?


The Supreme Court's announcement that it would hear two cases challenging laws prohibiting same-sex marriage has reinvigorated one of the most hotly contentious social debates in American history, a debate that has been fueled by a dramatic change in attitudes.

If this country still gave a fuck about our Constitution this would not happen. Under the Constitution, this is not a federal issue. If we as a nation were honest, we'd retire the Constitution instead of pretending it matters.

But why stop at same sex marriage...why cant one marry say one of each if they are bi?
Or marry two women ....the horse or the dog...or how about ones self?
Sister or brother?....why not?
If one is going to be liberal...just as well do it proper.

Why rob...taboo is taboo right?
Homosexuality was merely taboo right?
If we are going to undue taboo lets do it completely
Lets have having two wives legal..as long as they are all consenting whats the harm rob.
Why not let someone marry who they want and however many they want....Why not?
Not that I am supporting but just arguing the point from a liberal POV
And yes I was joking about the dog and horse

The issue with polygamy is and always will be an issue of property and taxation, thats why it isn't and won't be legal.
The issue with incest is the inherent capability to produce offspring that will be negatively affected by the union.
Homosexuality has none of those issues, and those that condemn it do so on a moral basis that they are trying to force on others.

Oh - he's serious alright. Hick bigots do indeed display hick bigotry, lol.

 

[Dana]

Further proof this country let's religion influence it too much. People need to get over themselves.

Another taboo

Bullshit.

The issue with incest is the inherent capability to produce offspring that will be negatively affected by the union.

Which is possible with any couple that can childbear.
So you want to stop lets say two midgets from uniting...chanced are the child will be short rob.

Whats wrong with two brother of age having a relationship?
Not that I am supporting it...but if we are going to undue taboo..then lets undo it all.
If you have to support one you have to support the other.

I support neither btw...I dont care if gays hook up but am against marriage.

 

[robdawg1]

ok, lets talk about what you actually do and don't support. why don't you support legalized gay marriage?

 

[The Man]

No rob,
You havent shown an argument why you are against brother and brother sex after they reach age.
Which I do not support by the way.

 

[robdawg1]

i did state that they happen to fall under the umbrella...i didnt say if i supported it or not...i dont have that answer

 

[The Man]

If you support one you have to support the other

 

[robdawg1]

That is simply not true...not everything is an absolute! and this thread is not about incestual relationships it is about the supreme court deciding to review gay marriage....so back to topic...lets discuss YOUR views on gay marriage!

 

[Catavenger]

Calling him

Hick bigots

is bigoted. What is a "hick?" A person from the country as opposed to the city? Why is that wrong?

 

[The Man]

Ans next they should allow incestual relationships if they allow this.
Not that I am supporting such....but if we are going to flex for people then lets flex.
No harm in sister/sister relationships based on the same reasoning allowing same sex.
Both tabboo...nothing more
And again I am just arguing the point from a point of fairness...I do not support either.

He is from Oklahoma and wants to call people hicks...the irony

what do you support...what is the reasoning that Homosexuals should NOT marry?

 

[The Man]

Marriage was meant for man and woman...pretty simple.
I dont care if people are gay....makes no difference to me.
If they want the same rights...then go for it..them give them those same right...but not under the name "marriage"
Call it bonded or whatever.

To allow gay marriage is to change the definition of a word..A word shouldn't evolve by definition rob.
Should be the same definition as when it was created centuries ago.
PC has no place in changing the definitions of words.

Words change all the time over centuries. The English language doesn't remain the same - it's constantly changing and evolving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_change

I find it hilarious that you are using the word gay, a word which means happy and the definition has evolved to mean homosexual, while saying words should remain the same! Unless you mean that happy marriages shouldn't be allowed

Guys in my opinion this is getting a little too heated. It is a hot button issue, yes but we can be kind and civil about it. So please calm down and keep the respect going?

Thanks.
