eventhough this is an extremely old thread that i accidentally posted in and then it just took off again one thing i find extremely funny is how the poll was spammed, paranoia is funny. only 17 actual people voted yes
 
Stick to what facts? That the religion portion of the first amendment doesn't apply to you?
 
Let me explain: when religions, who don't agree with same-sex marriage, are denied tax breaks by the gov't because they won't allow a same-sex union to be performed at their premises, this is a violation of the religion portion of the first amendment: gov't shall not set up a gov't religion.

this isnt happening and churches are in ZERO danger of this happening

sorry your fantasy fear tactict doesnt work

the fact that religion has nothgin to do with legal marriage, that fact, try to keep up
 
Changing a name of something that already is correct and accurate - for what purpose? Fair to who? Going back to my analogy, you want me to agree to change the name of "dog" and "cat" to something else because you deem it unfair not to, no. And the last time I checked, men and women are not the same, nor are same sex unions and heterosexual marriage. I'll refer you to the folllowing: LINK

exactly thats why we arent changing the name of anything and just granting equal rights, you nailed it good job

no need to change the name i agree

You left out half my reply. Calling gay marriages what they are is more accurate than calling them unions. Here's the definition straight from MW. Marriage - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
 
Should we call this "Part III" now?

I disagree with your more accurate premise, as its not more accurate.
It's completely accurate according to Merriam Webster. You're the one suggesting redefining marriage.

The act of homosexual sex is wrong.......It goes against everything God teaches.

According to a book...which men in power wrote. God is Omniscient and Omnipresent and created everything in this Universe. You cannot tell me that he is against something that He created.
 
I love open polls. You can so easily tell when someone games the poll results.

My Concise Oxford Dictionary defines marriage as:
1) The legal union of a man and woman in order to live together and often to have children.

Again, no reason to redefine something that's already accurate and correct - especially because you don't believe it's "fair". Have a nice day.
 
Definition part c. omits the mention of a limitted number of partners. ;)
No, part c is describing marriage as an institution. Part a clearly says it's only two people.

Was accurate, but no longer. I bet the word gay used to be "accurate" as well? Times change, change with them.

MW's definition is more accurate today in the US, Britain, and other forward-thinking places than Unions. You should double check your source next time. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/marriage?q=marriage

When there's a good enough reason... because someone doesn't think it's fair is not a good reason.
 
There is no reason to stop it and to oppose it is bigotry at its core...

Our history would show that you are incorrect. Now what?

You need to explain your foundation of "our history", because I don't know what you're referring to.

Now what? The answers still no. You guys are easy.... :cool:

Saying that two is the magical number of marriage partners is also discrimination against the strong personal desire of some folks. There are more places in the world that recognize polygamy than SSM.

Legal status of polygamy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Definitions of unions/marriage from your source:

Polygamy - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Polyandry - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

didnt i tell you some people who are against equality and want to infringe on the rights of others will simply ignore those facts
