Maine Senate Passes Same-sex Marriage Bill
It might have done nothing to enhance my argument (which actually wasn't the point) I just though since we were talking about gay marriage I found it fitting *shrug*.
Regardless I thought the video put it's point out there that not ALL traditions are worth keeping nor are all traditions followed.... just the ones people choose to listen to, all others are ignored.

I understand what you're saying Eddie. I just feel like the video grossly exaggerates a position to the point where it's ludicrous. The best way to counter an argument is to counter an argument. Not make up one that doesn't exist. There are some rational, intelligent arguments for gay marriage (or at least against the anti-gay-marriage position). Why can't they stick with those?
It's weakened by the fact that things it suggests were old customs, like chastity belts and the local lord deflowering the bride, were never standard.
the video niether makes nor breaks the point. It's little more than ham-handed satire. But it does address the question that has yet to be answered... If one supports the "traditional" definition of marriage, how does one choose which of the countless traditions in our history is valid? For that matter, who has the right to make those choices for anyone else?
I'm wondering if you (and the video) are confusing the difference between what a marriage IS and how it is done. The same-sex marriage question addresses the first, not the latter.
As an example, dictionary.com list 10 definitions. Some including inanimate objects.Is it an argument of tradiotn, religion or samantics? It seems people are getting hung up on ownership the a word.
Huge discussion to be had there, huh?I think I'll leave that to you and Thor!
Jesus jumped up fuck, this thread is still on top?
Iv been away for what? 2 fucking weeks and still?
I want new thread titles even if they are all the same arguments!
That's a good start. Now, more and more lesbian, bisexual or gay come out. We have the right to live the life we want. Don't be shy and hide yourself. Swing both ways from now on.
