Much better. I HATE badly formatted posts.
A very interesting study. I've read the Swedish study that it referenced. Interestingly enough it points that there may be a biological link to sexual orientation.
Oh, and btw, your assessment of what it means is completely absurd and the article theorizes nothing close to it.
I've seen you argue this before. My position would be pretty similar.
Most. Painfull. Pun. Ever.No. Some jerk is voting multiple times to screw the pole.

:applaud
I've found that the best are unintentional.:lol:
I did not even notice until you said something.
Poet and don't know it.
Here's the down and dirty of it, and no I don't care to respond to those of you who will troll me for this post.
When it comes down to it, homosexuality is seen as some kind of malfunction or error because the sex drive is incongruent with the actual functions of the physical body parts. Gay man have the sexual attraction of hetero women, and gay women of hetero men.
"Sexy" Smells Different for Gay, Straight Men, Study Says
On an instinctive level, gay men are trying to impregnate other men and lesbian woman are trying to have the children of other women. This is why many traditional sources call homosexuality "confusion", as confusion doesn't always refer to your ability to reason.

It is felt by many that gay marriage, by extension, will be just as incongruent, that it will mirror the biological error compelling people to it.
Even if we went as far as to shake hands and agree that born-homosexuality were some kind of genetic error or deformity, so what? Other couples with genetic error or deformities are allowed to marry and they do just fine.
If it can be demonstrated that gays as a demographic are a high-risk-of-divorce group, just like mixed race and mixed religion couples are, then let's make it harder for anyone to marry with the same pen stroke we give gays "marriage".
The real problem is not who has what wrong with them, it's who can create relationships beneficial to society.
"In the United States there still are disparities between Black female and Black male exogamy ratios: According to the 2006 census, 286,000 White female-Black male and 117,000 Black female-White male marriages were recorded. Marital stability studies published on the Education Resources Information Center found that White female-Black male unions are more prone to result in a divorce than White-White marriages are, while Black female-White male marriages show substantially lower rates of divorce than White-White marriages. It should be noted that the studies revealed this trend to exist in near equal proportionality in all interracial marriages of every ethnic group.[7] In 2007, 4.6% of all married Blacks in the United States were wed to a White partner, and 0.4% of all Whites were married to a Black partner."
Looks like the end of white on white marriage! :mrgreen:

I don't see that anywhere in my link
Were you using your own source and forgot to link or what?
It is not from your source. It is from studies mentioned on Wikipedia.
Which study, exactly?
I don't know, it was a joke. Not like I memorized it. :roll:

...'cuz what I see in your link is:
...kinda like how gay couples are less stable than hetero couples while lesbian couples are more stable than heteros.
It's another demonstration on how viewing policy through identity politics is dysfunctional.
Thats not what it says. You are using white hetero marriage as your litmus test. Well it says when Black females marry white men it results in a lower divorce rate.
So by your reasoning it would make for the best marriages.
Either way, it was a joke.
What does it say about a black woman with a white woman?
What we are talking about is the total sociological institution of marriage in which the law is a sub-division of.
This conversation can apply to individuals who were never, are not and never will be subject to US laws in the slightest, because it regards human social institutions present throughout the species.
Irrelevant, they cannot legally marry. :lol:
Sure they can, it depends on the state.
Not recognized by the Federal Government. Also not recognized by other states. :2razz:
Doesn't mean they can't marry :2wave:
I guess you somehow missed this?
"Now you are baiting and making personal attacks.
Have a good evening."
I don't have to protray you as anything.
So again
Good evening.
Hello All
Wow I had a lot of catching up to do
65 pages and 640+ post and still at ZERO sound, reasonable, logical, non-bais, non-selfish, non-arrogant, hypercritical, non anti-american
Seems like more typical results nothing solid.
Also thanks to the mod who cleared up the REAL poll results of:
86% no, do not think its right
14% do think its right but still no good reasons to force their views on others
thanks again guys and girls ill keep checking back
Scorched-Earth-Denial is a tired out debate tactic, I was hoping for something new...I guess I'll have to check back in a while to see if you have any sound, rational objections to any specific argument :2wave:
