Gay Marriage leads to Animal Marriage???

fickler · 06-18-2004, 08:37 PM

There are some who believe that by giving gays the rights to marriage, we’d be opening ourselves to future personal-rights movements such as the right to wed your pet. As crazy as this sounds, it’s true. What are your thoughts…

I heard they are parodying this and the likes on the Smoking Gun, which airs Monday/Tuesday, 10:30PM on Court TV.

Hello idiots*, I am logical fallacy. I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

*By idiots I mean people who believe that, not anyone else in particular. I realize it could be construed as my saying that to the thread starter, but he doesn't seem to believe it, so...

Don't animals get married all the time? I saw a groom crab and a bride crab all dressed up together on Virginia Beach (I kinda wish I made that up...some really bored people out there...)

Heard that argument several times before...

It looks to be based in a religious conception of laws, and I'd say it requires people to turn off the discriminative part of their brain: "You want to stop punishing adultery by stonings? Anarchy, destruction, pillaging, spontaneous human combustion I say!"

The idea there might be that Law is Sacred, any change in it is equally sacrilegious and causes all law to be rendered meaningless. It could also be a fully calculated appeal to the emotions of less intolerant layers of society. Obviously it's used because other, more fundamental arguments are even less presentable.

Dr. EDIT says: "Slippery slope" fallacy, eh? Looks like most of this post can be replaced by this practical logic expression. Must keep up to to date with the Tongue.

hmmm, I've heard that particular "argument" before, but its all BS used to hide the fact that "god hates fags" or something like that. This mentality is why I hate the world, and especially ignorant bible beating mofos. I really can't be objective about this topic, it brings an unreasoning hatred to the forefront of my mind. So I'll just say this, if I ever met a great guy who I'd want to spend the rest of my life with, I would demand the option of marriage, why should it matter what sex the couple is? The law should state that any 2 humans can be married, plain and simple. The less quoted, but more valid argument is polygamy. If I can marry a man then why not get myself a harem too? its just as ignorant, albeit a bit more plausible. Religion has no place in politics, but that doesn't stop it from taking them over completely.

MY2K · 06-18-2004, 11:29 PM

oh, yeah. totally. Two normal people marrying...my fucking GOD...it's just so wrong. next they'll be marrying animals. and then, objects. I wanna marry my computer! why not! gay people can marry!!

look, if you don't wanna fuck up the sanctity of marriage or whatever, call it something else then. "unity." whatever. Just write the two people down in the records as legally unified. See...it's examples like this that really show how christianity has a huge rule over society and government. :|
edit: not talking to 'you', more like a general expression, I'm not harassing you here. Yannow what I mean XD

I'm having trouble deciphering your post, are you for or against gay marriage? It seems like there is a sarcastic air about your statements, but I can't quite be sure. a little clarification would do wonders, thanks.

Krylo · 06-18-2004, 11:36 PM

Pay no attention to Zoamelgustar. He's gullible as hell and has no sarcasm detector at all.

Yes, she's being sarcastic... Although, that comment about the computer hurts. Me and my computer love each other. We've been through a lot, and it's always done it's best to support me, even as it's motherboard and RAM slowly become out of date. Some day, I hope to build a real and long lasting relationship. Just like I had with my old one... before her motherboard went out. There was nothing I could do... and I still feel the pain from that loss, but I know she'd want me to move on and find a new partner.

I agree that the whole idea is stupid, which is exactly why some idiot, somewhere, someday, will actually try to do it. You can't deny it, there has to be someone stupid enough out there.
