Let me ask this question, G: it seems to me that the issue of same sex marriage for those opposing it precedes on the basis that of all the social ills that we as a modern society tolerate such as: pornography, capitalism, free media, etc. same sex marriage is the worst. Can you u explain why? Or is SSM just another social I’ll that the right opposes?

Can't help you.

Not very democratic of you is it? Roll Eyes


Democratic is about protecting the rights of the minority if they don’t infringe in the rights of the majority, which SSM does not.


DEMOCRACY.... government by the people :majority rule


So, if the majority agree to hold all Muslims in slavery and treat them like cattle, is that acceptable?

I believe that the government has the right to protect the rights of the lowest among us, even at the point of the bayonet.

That's fine, but can you explain why?

i.e. what do you think is going to happen to society when SSM is legalised?

So, basically, it's just another token that the right is waving to promote its ideology.

If you cannot tell me what makes SSM worst than pornography, rap hip-hop music, capitalism, Miss Universe etc., then maybe your concerns aren't justified?

When racial segregation was legal in America, whites argued that by integrating the blacks it would result in the decay of society. If you look at black/hispanic culture, particularly as expressed through music, you find that much of the music and culture is very misogynistic and paternalistic, and tribal. Such music has led to the hypersexualisation of young women, and has influenced many young black/hispanic men to mistreat other women.

So, the question is: does black/hispanic culture (which also affects Australia) have more or less of an impact on society than SSM? I would argue that it does; BUT I don't believe that we should ban black music or other type of music.

Now, the argument is that 'well, we can't unscramble that egg now; it's too late', so the right is trying to prevent another social ill (supposedly) from taking root.

As I said, just another token.

So, again, punishing people for expressing anti-ssm opinion has nothing to do with ssm? If you argue 'oh well, it's a natural consequence of SSM', then that 'slippery slope' argument can be used for just about anything.

No, he won't say either way.

This is just a token for the right.

Perhaps he is not married.  In that case, when SSM is legislated, will that prevent him from marrying in any way?

Because this country have rule of law.  And under the law, everyone regardless of their sexuality should be treated equal.

Under the law MEN can Marry Women....


And we should extend that so that men can marry men, and women can marry women.

We should do everything so anyone can do anything  Grin

Go anarchy!
