Just Plain Wrong

Well duh.Nobody makes decisions for you. Like who to marry. That's good, right?

Of course they do. For example, he and I really wanted to get married, but we can't. They made the same same decision for us that they made for those that want to marry others of the same sex.
 
First off, I disagree with homosexuality for religious reasons.

Second off, I don't like how a little boy is being used as a political tool. You got something to say, say it yourself instead of using an innocent kid.

Despicable.

It is your opinion that the message was right.

There is no scientific/absolute method of proving that message is right.

Thanks for telling us something we all already knew.

I meant nobody should make that decision for you, or him.

And tess's views on homosexuality aren't disgusting, like Bachmann's are.

You're fine to have an opinion. I could easily say that Bachmann's opinions aren't disgusting and that yours and the woman's opinions are disgusting.

Enough.

We both have differing views and if you want to opine that the other person's views are disgusting, then expect to receive like opinion from that person.

It's the way opinions work, I guess.

Okay. I disagree with your religion for religious reasons.

So you oppose kids saying the Pledge of Allegience?

And that's perfectly alright.

See, that's pretty deceitful. This issue is different from having American children recite the national anthem in public schools in America. It just doesn't work, and it's like spitting in the wind. If you're going to use some great, conceptual revelation to prove your point, don't try to compare this apple with that orange because you'll surely be called out on it.

Defending your mother is akin to defending your country.

Why is it different?

That gets struck off the record.

You're not going to compare having children recite the national anthem with having a mother use her innocent children as a political pawn and expect to come out unscathed. You can do that with others, but not with me. These are two, clearly different things and you know it.

No, the comparison is good. You just don't like it.

Ironic that you put those two sentences together, huh?

And does this mean you do think someone should tell you who you should marry?

Good. I've got a list of some heterosexual marriages that disgust me and should be banned. Old ladies with young men, and vice versa, for instance. That's just about money, not love.

Incorrect. That comparison is ridiculous and I don't have time for such absurd claims. It's like you're saying America is absurd for using its children as political pawns to recite the national anthem in public schools. Last I checked, parents from many ideologies in America have no problem with this. Your comparison fails, and it truly is not worth the effort. If someone else want to refute that ludicrous claim then so be it.

Yes, currently the states have the right to tell someone that they can not marry an individual of the same sex.

You are free to that opinion.

That's a complete non-sequitur (in other words, that has nothing to do with anything).

Are you going to say that having children recite the national anthem is the exact same thing as the woman in this topic, who used her child as a political pawn, is the exact same thing?

That's not an argument.
 
misterman said:

I don't believe they are the exact same thing. I think that's a hyper-partisan claim.

Let's make a thread about it and see how that stands, and what other arguments manifest relating to this.

Aren't kids essentially be used as pawns in both cases? What exactly is the difference? Hell's bells, maybe we should keep kids from participating in political protests and from holding signs.

That wasn't my question.

I asked you if the state should tell you who you can marry. Not just tell you it can't be another man.
