Please explain how your post isn't an example of trolling?

Oh, I understand better now. You are merely ignorant.

Families are the building blocks of the nation and society.

Without strong, healthy families we all lose. Informed citizens should want to encourage the healthy, strong family unit.

Allow me:


The post intended to point out an illogical aspect of the OP, by forcing thought into a realm of an accepted institution and its well established context. By pointing out the obvious difficiencies of traditional marriage in comparison to the gay marriage pretext assumed by your own train of thought, it explains an error in your own logic....thus you resort to accusations of trolling.

Sure, I am happy to encourage healthy, strong, homosexual family units by telling them how well their china cabinet matches their drapes. I don't see why I should have to give them goodies though.

And incorrect.

I didn't make an accusation. I asked a question.

I hope you are pleased with yourself. I think your post sacrifices making a point for the hope of being stylish.

I think it misses on both counts.

Re: Gayness & Color Blindness: Accepting the Limitations

Given that gays have been present in substantial quantities in every society since the beginning of recorded time, and in some cultures even elevated to shaman levels, basically holders of tribal spirituality, - I doubt there is much new information that can be discovered about the effects of gay people on societies in general. Nor is it likely a new discovery suggesting there is anything inherently problematic about its presence.

On the contrary, I would think that the ostracization of the gay minority in western culture is a direct cause of the rise of gay ghettoes within modern cities. I would further suggest that such an urban concentration of gays, combined with the social isolation of them from traditional family life, was the crucible in which the inwardly-turned and overtly promiscuous culture of gays was ultimately created and cast. That unusual culture as we know today, created the conditions for the rapid spread of a number of virulent std's. I would think pushing gays back into more traditional family life is the cure for the problematic aspects of their culture.

As for baby bottles, although I personally think the issue is overblown, given there are plenty of new endocrine, auto-immune, and psychological pathologies today, pathologies whose prevalence have been increasing disproportionately with time, - there are plenty of suspects for environmental contamination all around us. Given the large number of possible man-made causes and equally large number of possibly involved pathologies, it is very difficult to come to any conclusion. Just take for example, the thimerosol-autism research flip-flop of late.

As for color blindness, none of the professions you list exclude color blindness because it is incompatible with the work per se, just an incompatibility with some bureaucratic aspect of it. For example, I know of successful dentist at the local medical university who is color-blind, for example. He gets around shade selection problems by sending patients to the lab technician for such color matching. Actually that is probably the most efficient way of doing it also, since the lab tech is the person ultimately fabricating the dental prosthesis. Even meat inspectors could be "enhanced" with a more objective electronic sensor, - likely increasing accuracy at the same time as standardizing observations. Other professions you list also exclude color blindness only because of the extensive use of color-coding in the materials of the trade. Color-coding can be changed far more easily than a person's genetics. Your conclusions are shallow.

And I would submit that with all of it's problems, straight marriage is a liability to children and should be stopped.

Tell you what, why don't we stop all straight marriages for 10 years and do a longitudinal study on children (only gay parents and unmarried parents) to see it there is some improvement in children's emotional health. If there isn't, we can re-allow straight marriage.

Great idea isn't it.
