Truthfully, and this is just how I debate, my goal is not to change minds. VERY rarely happens around here. My goal is to present my position as well as possible, and refute my opponents position as completely as possible. What they do with that is up to them.

Or in some cases we genuinely want to understand the other side and the logic behind their position.

Sometimes, though it depends on how the other side is being presented. If the presentation is without logic and presented in an attacking or degrading way, I stop caring.
 
I'm relatively new to this section of the forum, but because of my sister and her SO, I feel very strongly that SSM should be legalized, and I hope to stand up for them someday. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future.
 
OK. Well, neither of you have to participate in the thread, then. There are plenty of other good discussions going on at DP, right now.

I didnt participate and its pointless to participate in any of them, because any points anti ssm individuals make, extorts the same pat answers from the same people, who cant present a real argument except for redundant sarcasm.
 
Go do some digging, soldier boy. I have never put up such a thread before. Also, there is this so cool trick, I'm betting you never heard of it. If a subject is not of interest to you? You can ignore it! Sweet, right?

I wasnt singling you out...I meant the topic and thank you for recognizing my service to the county. I will let your sarcasm pass because you thought I was attacking you...which I was not

Still, your one of my favorite posters on here :) but..no one wants to understand the other side, they want to just attack the other side ad nauseam with the same statements over and over...no one even pays attention to anyone that posts against it or what they say.

Are you going to back that up?

Id LOVE to understand the otherside, I myself have admitted personally Im not exactly gay friendly but I do support them having equal rights.

I listen to ANYTHING logical whether it goes against me or not.

Man, if you served (I was actually using it as a silly name) go to the link *help, mods, HELP!* where you can select what branch you served for and they will give you an icon (like mine).

The reason I joined a political debate forum was to understand how conservatives think and to get away from my preconceived notions of who I thought they were.

I didn't join DP to be in constant hack-attack mode. I love civil and intellectually stimulating discussion, and to that end I am genuinely interested in why some individuals are against same-sex marriage and if they can provide a solid logical defense for their position. Because from my point of view, there really isn't a logical reason to be against same-sex marriage.

That's why I'm asking, too. I want to understand.
 
Wow.. 4 pages so far and no real answers?? I guess everyone agrees that SSM should be legal..

I agree totally and unfortunately on this topic you are one of the very few that want a discussion about this subject...others want to curse you out and attack you becuase you dont agree with them and others want to just disregard whatever you say by throwing the same one line barbs.
I attempted twice to sincerely post my feelings on this and I was badgered in pms about it and cursed out in the dungeon...which btw I thought was funny...I was a cop for lots of years I got cursed out by professionals face to face.
That is why I wont engage this anymore..I just throw barbs like the others do...hey whats good for the goose right :)
The few on this board that did try to engage this topic...<most that disagree were smart enough not to get involved> were beat up by the same people. Im no ones beat boy :)
I apologize to Mis BDBoop for her thinking I was attacking her personally, I was not...I meant the subject.
 
I find the 3rd option funny hehehe. Anyway, I think it should be legal because of all the legal things that come with marriage, ie medical and other things.
 
No, but that's okay. Guess I should start digging through old threads.

you know, I'm going on a bit of a tangent here but I've always wondered why married couples receive tax benefits. As much as the poor, the middle class, and the rich all whine and bitch about how the system is unfair, for sure single people get killed when it comes to taxes compared to married people. Why is that?
 
As most who know me already know, I believe that homosexuals are the last group of minorities that are legally descriminated against and denied equal rights. Nationally legalizing SSM will go a long way to rectifying that unacceptable situation.
 
What's your beef. Honest to [expletive-deleted], why DO YOU care? Why are you just fine with an entire segment of the populace being denied the right to marry.

Because it pisses you off. :2razz: :mrgreen:
 
The reason some feel it is wrong is cause they think it will lead to people legally being able to marry animals and bang little childrens. I have no clue why some feel this way but figured I would go ahead and point out the stupid before someone else did:roll:

Slippery slope fallacy, one of the more common arguments.
