Nice logical fallacy - so if one word cannot change, then no words can change - especially as quickly as you want them to. So you've gone from ad hominem to now logical fallacy.
But it's not. The point is that you deny the ability of a word to change to meet the necessities for a continually evolving society. Fact is that it does change, and just because you think your word shouldn't change doesn't mean it cannot.
Apparently you and a minority of people think so. Government does not and nor do I.
For now, still in rightful government the rights of the minority cannot be infringed upon by the majority. But seeing as you have admitted a few times that you would infringe upon rights, you have shown a penchant for treason and tyranny against the minority. But rest assured, same sex marriage will be realized nationwide in our lifetimes.
In fact, traditions are EXACTLY how humans do things. If what you say was true, traditions would not exist, and people would drop things as quickly as they adopt new things. That doesn't happen in real life.
Oh yeah? So we're the same as say ancient Greece? I mean, lots of traditions, right? No, humans hold on to certain traditions for some amount of time because some are unable to deal with change. But even those "traditions" will change. How many religious traditions did we used to have which do not exist anymore?
Humanity advances and marches on, we do not stagnate. Stagnation is slow death. Everything we've done has been done by not adhering to tradition but rather pushing forward. Notice we no longer declare people witches and instead understand science. A continual push for evolution, that is humanity. So too with our "traditions" and societies. Marriage is expanding whether you like it or not. And regardless of personal bigotry and tyranny it will come about. Humans always push forward even if some try to hold the rest back.
Wow, pulling out the "tyranny" now? LOL
When you move against the rights and liberties of the individual you engage in tyranny. That simple.
Tell you what, just pass a law then to abolish marriage for everyone. Sure, that'll work.
It's one of the proper ways, abolishing of the marriage license. It's probably the best solution as the government has no real purpose in the institution of marriage. But so long as the marriage license exist, marriage is a completely legal tool and contract. And the people have the right to contract, government may not properly infringe upon that. Any defense of infringement upon the individual's right to contract is defense of tyranny and support of treason against the People. Plain and simple. Don't be so hate filled and maybe you can begin to understand.
Ignorance like the opinion you have is a joke. Pick a new word.
Weren't you bitching about ad hominem, try to be consistent. Yet my opinion is not a joke. It's firmly rooted in the rights and liberties of the individual which is the basis for the Republic. I'm not the one out of tune with the purpose of this country.
Sure fascist works - Like I care what you call me. Look, it's not going to change. Just because you don't find value in traditions, history and society doesn't mean everyone else has to jump on the "what's new" bandwagon... marriage is between a man and woman. Obama says so, I say so, most local governments say so as do the states. You want something new, go call it whatever you want, officially it stays as is. And if evolving requires me to be what you think it should be, I'd much rather be dead and miss the abortion that is your viewpoint.
I find value in the traditions of upholding freedom and liberty. That's that. Slavery was once legal, why did we change the "tradition". I mean, it's tradition right? We changed it because we began to understand the infringement of freedom and liberty it posed. We stopped thinking of the slaves as second class and acknowledged their humanity. Upon doing so, we expanded our definitions, broke improper tradition, and created more freedom and liberty. Same is the case here. People want to treat homosexuals as second class so they can infringe upon their right to contract. But we're breaking out of that archaic, ignorant, dark age thinking. We will break improper tradition and expand freedom once again. If you can't handle it, well too bad. But this Republic was founded upon the notions of freedom and liberty and the ideals to promote and proliferate the blessings of such.
