Nope, wrong again. I think what I said is pretty clear.

It seemed pretty clear that you went out of your way to avoid answering a legitimate question.

If it were a legitimate question from an open minded person, I would have answered it. Instead, it was a question from TPD. Besides, I've answered it already...recently.

I missed your answer, can you point me to it with a link or quote please?

Actually, I've never seen you list out all of your legitimate reasons in one post. Thank you very much.

Follow the conversation back three of four posts. To be honest, the question was pretty stupid.
 
There is 30 years of evidence showing that same sex couples can raise children as well as opposite sex couples.

There is no evidence that incest couples can raise children well.

I look forward to your links.

Okay. How about, if you don't like same sex marriage, then don't marry someone of the same sex?

Sure, and if you don't like SSM bans, don't live in a red state.
 
I look forward to your links.

Haven't we been down this road like a hundred times before?

Gay Parents Have Well-Adjusted Kids | Psych Central News
Study: Same-Sex Parents Raise Well-Adjusted Kids
Children with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Parents | American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Sure, and if you don't like SSM bans, don't live in a red state.

Actually, I would like to move to Canada someday. It would be nice to be somewhere where same sex marriage is considered moral and upstanding instead of a great threat to society.

Only my valid ones?
Thank you for clarifying that you don't have any valid reasons. It's always boring to play games with you. Thank you for your time.

No, no...I just want to make sure...because I'd hate to waste your time with reasons you disagree with....
 
First...its an illegitimate tactic to suggest that because the law doesn't allow group Y to marry than it shouldn't have to allow group Z to marry, unless in all ways group Y's situation is 100% identical to group Z's. Attempting to divert the topic to an entirely different situation is not debating, its attempting to distract and derail the conversation to something else.

Second...the arguments for Incest, Gay Marriage, and Same Sex Marriage have similarities but are not identical in all ways. The arguments against each, and for each, are different.

The red herring that the other side is continually throwing out is nothing but an obvious and transparent attempt to grasp at straws because they are failures at making a legitimate argument.

Usually my objections to your arguments aren't about disagreement, they're about an absence of logic and sense, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

If "the other side" is the opposition to SSM, I can assume I am one of the people you speak of. I have raised such arguments, and as I've said before it is not to derail, or even to compare said behaviors directly to SSM. I only raise them as an illustration of behaviors that people generally still feel are immoral or wrong in an attempt to describe the reaction some currently experience to homosexuality and SSM.

Any argument for SSM which is based on any form of class or Equality© is already off-topic by default. So it's no harm to simply change which off-topic we're discussing at any given point in time, because we're all wrong anyway.

You simply don't like how easily the Equality© arguments are broken down and falsified.

It's not my fault pro-SSM doesn't stick to the arguments which always win when used.

Like I said, pick whichever age makes you feel better. These questions are for you, not anyone else. When you're ready to address my arguments, I'll be around.

Incest is illegal. You are not going to find studies that support the notion that incest is good for children.

Please explain that? How is arguing that Same Sex Marriage should be legal because you feel its unconstitutional based on discrimination laws off-topic when discussing whether or not its wrong to support same sex marriage?

You simply don't like how easily the Equality© arguments are broken down and falsified.

You've never once, in any way shape or form, shown the ability to "break down" or "falsify" the equality argument based on Gender discrimination. The best you've been able to do is have a hissy fit for pages over arguing semantics of someone using the words "sex" and "gender" in casual conversation as interchangeable with regards to the LAW rather than the clinical terminology.

All you've done in this thread is complained about incest and did your typical bitching about marriage in general.

I don't claim to speak for conservatives.

But from my experience it generally stems from a misguided notion that marriage is purely a religious/sacred institution, when in reality it is a civil institution.

Marriage is a religious rite. Civil unions are not. Honestly, marriages in churches should be at the discretion of the church - whether or not they want to marry the couple, whether or not they are of the same sex or not. However, civil unions (if you want to call them marriages), are done by the state and should not be denied any person, as they hold the key to certain civil rights that a couple may want to exercise.

I don't believe that gays are seeking God's approval on their union, but are just trying to get their civil rights, why I don't think marriage is what they need.
