1. What the hell does marriage have to do with evolution?! Do you honestly believe that the only way people can breed is if they get married? Answer me this, Bill and Bob get married, how, in your mind, does this magically enable them to pass thier genes on - does one of them suddenly grow a uterous?!
If you believe in evolution then marriage had to have roots in evolution. Or, where else would that idea have come from originally? There are animals that mate for life. This allows their offspring to be more successful because a team is helping the newborn. The offspring of married people probably had a better survival rate because 2 are better than one. So over time natural selection favored people that tend to want to marry. Obviously you can't pass genes on or have a human race if you don't have oposite sexes. So that is where evolution comes in, in my opinion. I am entitled to my own opinion, right?
2. Explain homosexuality in any of the other species that exhibit it. You know your argument that evolution says that homosexuality cannot exist in nature? Well, I just contradticted it.
I didn't say it couldn't happen, I just said that the theory of evolution wouldn't allow it to pass onto the next generation unless it was a homosexual having sex with the opposite sex for the purpose of having offspring.
3. Who the hell are you to tell somebody else, who you have never met, who will probably never meet you, who will have zero impact on you, who they may or may not become legally bound to with all the rights and privileges associated with that.
I wasn't telling anybody anything. I was just bringing forth an argument because the parent thread said they had only heard of 3 or something. Well, I have heard this argument!
Look, sexuality is not a genetic thing, it's not a learned thing, it's just a specific setting on a scale for each individual.
Sexuality is a genetic thing. Ever heard of the X and Y chromozones?
Here is another reason for homosexual couples not to marry: evolution.
If you believe in evolution then there is no way gay genes would make it to the next generation. (Except if they acted against their nature and had intercourse with the opposite sex.) So, it is a learned behavior or a mutation in the current generation. If it is a learned behavior or a mutation then why as a species would you encourage this behavior?
I know you won't like that reason, but it is one that is valid.
A couple big mistakes with your reasoning that I see.
Put down as much as you can and buy from a distressed buyer if you can. Anytime you are paying someone else interest from a loan you are falling behind. Also, don't max out your debt load. What if you loose your job?
It boggles my mind how you can think that is a justification for persecuting a minority group. Someone writes his opininions on someones behavior and you think it is persecution.
Oh, but your opinions aren't justification for persecuting his beliefs at all.
persecution = usually severe harassment because of your opinion.
Here is some reality for you. Did Ted Bundy minimize harm by looking at porn? He said himself that porn is what started him down the path to kill. At the very least it didn't help.
Ted also engaged in necrophilia with some of the remains of his victims. Where did he get that idea?
Where can porn take you?

Good lord! Battlefield Earth was so bad that I couldn't even watch the whole thing when I had rented the tape.
I can't believe that this movie could be worse.

crappy spyware.
What about us singles? I want 1,080 benefits also. I don't think that is a valid argument.
Man, lets get rid of some of those benefits and simplify things a bit instead of adding to the problem. Keep It Simple Stupid.
I can't believe somebody said that to you. That is wrong, but as you said legal protections can only go so far.
Not for gay marriage, Not for idiot managers either.

I almost always wait until version 3 of Microsoft software. I will not install a beta version. Seems version one is the beta version.
People look to actors for political advice.
I think Knuth's shown that he thinks things through. So, I would take his ideas more seriously than an actor.
The sad truth is that people take other's thoughts and ideas as their own without thinking it through themselves.

I agree on the buy young idea though.

How is this severe?
This game is very realistic. (for a board game)
You can go bankrupt pretty easy. Having grown up on a farm, it is amazing how this captures the essense of farming in the modern era.
