You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas Send a noteboard - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM
It's about how it lists marriage - heterosexual marriage, that is - as a right, countering Jeordam's claims of it being a privilege that hence doesn't need to be granted to those not currently enjoying it.

Let's ban all Christian Marriage. Dannymac - 07/08/2010 06:36:13 AM 1530 Views
Nice satire, but it raises another point for me. Helene - 07/08/2010 07:20:49 AM 958 Views

That seems sensible to me. SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:13:26 PM 854 Views
Not sure what you mean by "demoted." Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:50:02 PM 1013 Views
Nice. *NM* Camilla - 07/08/2010 08:58:20 AM 583 Views
That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. Cannoli - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1180 Views
Hey, look! There was a point over there! Dannymac - 07/08/2010 03:46:41 PM 992 Views
Who else should make those decisions? Cannoli - 07/08/2010 08:00:39 PM 940 Views

You'd defend this idiot? *NM* Ectheledhel - 08/08/2010 06:40:34 AM 472 Views

I used to think Joel was the biggest rambler on this site. I am seriously reconsidering. everynametaken - 08/08/2010 05:24:56 AM 977 Views
And my assessment of one poster as the most content-poor, non-contributing slug is unchanged Cannoli - 08/08/2010 07:17:02 PM 891 Views

I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution LadyLorraine - 08/08/2010 08:05:45 PM 1005 Views
No, I was referring to same-sex marriage. Real marriage hardly counts as a novelty. *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 02:28:43 PM 416 Views
This must be the "thought out reaction" I've heard so much about. Dannymac - 08/08/2010 10:45:59 PM 851 Views
You cannot be that stupid. Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:10:55 PM 1137 Views
There's a lot of ridiculous arguments here, but I'll focus on just one of them... Legolas - 11/08/2010 03:38:05 PM 1014 Views
Incorrect. Genders are not treated equally. Dreaded Anomaly - 11/08/2010 07:53:00 PM 1225 Views
all you need is enough support to pass an amendment random thoughts - 08/08/2010 02:46:08 PM 846 Views
A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too Isaac - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 879 Views
And what is wrong with polygamy? *NM* Ectheledhel - 09/08/2010 10:36:53 AM 474 Views
Did I say there was anything? Isaac - 09/08/2010 11:03:10 AM 998 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. Camilla - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 918 Views

Mmm, but when you're strictly discussing marriage LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 06:13:30 PM 1009 Views

Great post Danny SilverWarder - 09/08/2010 08:22:27 PM 690 Views
It should be noted again... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 984 Views
and how is it not a right? LadyLorraine - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 857 Views
My definition of rights... Jeordam - 09/08/2010 10:47:16 PM 985 Views
mmm, but the UN has legally stated marriage as a right. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 02:52:03 AM 750 Views
+1 Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:11:22 AM 1036 Views
Article 16 probably not a great example Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:44:04 AM 847 Views
You could just as easily move the emphasis... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:08:46 AM 972 Views
If we need a more specific resolution... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 04:22:12 AM 1157 Views
No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 05:25:57 AM 845 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 03:04:39 PM 1159 Views
That's really a ridiculous stance, you do realize. Legolas - 10/08/2010 03:23:02 PM 811 Views
The point is that marriage IS a right, one which cannot be denied based upon sexual orientation *NM* Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:04:16 PM 675 Views
Re: No, the choice of 'Men and Women' is too specific in the context Isaac - 10/08/2010 03:46:56 PM 1036 Views
It doesn't say a man can only marry a woman or vice versa, though. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 04:24:17 AM 843 Views
It also doesn't say they can Isaac - 10/08/2010 04:41:18 AM 848 Views
You're missing the point. It's not about gay marriage. Legolas - 10/08/2010 11:20:59 AM 841 Views
No, I got that, I'm pointing out how it does so Isaac - 10/08/2010 01:47:00 PM 865 Views
I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:09:32 PM 838 Views
Re: I know, and that's been brought up before. But that's not my point. Isaac - 10/08/2010 06:33:56 PM 771 Views
It's mentioned as a right in some SC decision quoted in that Walker opinion. *NM* Legolas - 10/08/2010 06:51:13 PM 425 Views
To clarify for you SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 05:36:14 AM 773 Views
The UNSC is actually the UN's enforcement body... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:16:31 PM 1218 Views
I'm not sure that I would call the Security Council the 'Enforcement Body' SilverWarder - 10/08/2010 08:43:02 PM 820 Views
The fact that it is capable of authorizing the use of military force makes it an enforcement body Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 10:33:59 PM 1082 Views
Disagree - but it's most a matter of definition there SilverWarder - 11/08/2010 04:31:53 PM 987 Views
What the UN thinks is *completely* worthless.... Jeordam - 10/08/2010 06:43:15 PM 782 Views
and the Constitution dictates nothing about marriage. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 11:46:24 PM 454 Views
That means it is up to the people. And they say "No." *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:13:12 PM 459 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination SilverWarder - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1026 Views
Why don't YOU back up your assertion that the right to marry exists? *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:16:02 PM 473 Views
The actual ruling on Prop 8 specifices marriage as a freedom, not a right. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/08/2010 12:02:17 AM 923 Views
Out of curiosity, what would you say to using the Ninth Amendment, possibly in conjunction... Vodalus - 10/08/2010 12:20:19 AM 1002 Views
I agree LadyLorraine - 10/08/2010 06:11:19 PM 728 Views
Yeah but this can't be used to prove that it IS a right... Napoleon62 - 10/08/2010 07:30:57 PM 1081 Views
Note it all you want... Dannymac - 10/08/2010 06:43:53 AM 721 Views
No, they seek to expand the terms of the partnership. Homosexuals can & do get married normally *NM* Cannoli - 11/08/2010 03:14:25 PM 479 Views
The best one yet. Camilla - 10/08/2010 07:59:17 PM 969 Views
