Things that make you laugh

[bennymacca]

Haha nice. And about as big of a joke as the arguments against same sex marriage.

[nuggety goodness]

The fact that you describe normal people as THEY shows your prejudice.

Can you comment on my ownership post above? How is that not a slippery slope but this is?

I wasn't referring to anyone particularly in that statement. It is purely human nature...

People of every race, religion, socioeconomic status, sexuality, height, weight, (forgive me if I forget any...) will try to find loopholes and inconsistencies... and its not everyone, just the select few.

Im not saying everyone will do this, but it is bound to happen...

Ownership isnt being disputed so that is a mute point... it was done and dusted years ago when they abolished slavery. If you want to try again then be my guest...

[bennymacca]

How is that slippery slope argument different from yours though. The answer is it isn't.

[bennymacca]

Also why is it only gay people that want to marry animals?

Or are you protecting catholic priests from trying to marry young boys?

Can you see how ridiculous the slippery slope arguments are?

I never made any statement about gay people wanting to marry animals. ..

And no, we need to protect little children from predators. ..

So tell me again why two sane and consenting adults can't choose to marry in the same civil ceremony that two thirds of marriages currently consist of?

Because other people want to bang dogs?

Benny there is a whole thread dedicated to that topic and my views are represented in there (I think).

We have hijacked this for long enough and should probably go baco to what makes you laugh.

Im sorry if our senses of humour differ but it does make me laugh a little...

Non-religious people get married because they're only viewed as a family in the eyes of the law if they are married. So for the financial and legal security of each other, or any children, should anything happen in the future.

I'm getting married next year, and I want no mention of some fairytale "god" or "savior" at my wedding. I might as well get them to marry us in the eyes of Optimus Prime.

I went to a wedding a couple of months ago that included all that religious crap, and the groom was not happy to have to swear stuff to god either.

And to say that people will change laws on precedent to allow marriage to animals is **** retarded. What you're saying is if the government change laws to allow gay marriage, they will automatically cave to someone that wants to marry an animal. Just because they have changed a law once, doesnt mean they have to change it again if someone asks.

Your whole argument is flawed, and your religious beliefs are clouding your common sense. Take all the religious stuff out of your head for a second and think about it logically.

Fair enough. Can you quote this post in the other thread and answer? Interested in your response.

[Booney]

LOL - I read benny post ^^^ here and just had to read the lead up....

What gets me is the "church" somehow seem to think they own "marriage".

I got married in the ballroom at the Palais at Semaphore by a civil celebrant without any religious connotations whatsoever and my marriage is no less relevant, important or binding than a full blown religious ceremony in a church.

I had to laugh, open up to same sex marriage and people will be marrying dogs, inanimate objects even!

Laughed my atheist arse off I did.

[bennymacca]

By the power vested in me by Optimus prime...

Keep going, I'm pissing myself because I know you aren't alone with your thinking!

this funny start to hump day* is all Fishos fault

[Q.]

As soon as it is changed once the precedent will be set and you will see people marrying dogs, cats and probably inanimate objects too.

It doesn't set any precedent.

Allowing gay marriage won't have any legal effect on polygamy, incest or bestiality. They are separate areas of law.

Its already happened as I pointed out earlier...

It still doesn't set precedent. In Australia, they are separate areas of law.

Also, if you want to argue the slippery slope, then it starts at allowing marriage full stop. By logic, your argument that a man and woman can get married sets precedent for any other type of marriage.

Then saying that means that all law is then liable for being abolished and we would live in utter chaos...

Human nature is to push the boundaries and once someone else gets it changed then 'hey I might as well push my case too' because that is the mentality.

If I'm wrong then I'll shut up but just wait and see...

I feel like Noah right now. The rain is coming people!!!

It doesn't mean the one guy that wants to **** a chicken would get it changed though.

You are wrong. What's there to wait and see about?
