There is no reason to disallow polygamy - we have no problem with a man shacking up with five women...but if he wants to actually commit to all five of them, THEN he's in trouble. It's stupid.

There is no longer a reason to disallow incest - at one time it was believed (until fairly recently) that such unions produced flawed offspring, but it turns out that the problem is greatly exaggerated.

As with gay marriage, I believe that there would be very few opting for a polygamous marriage - and far fewer incestuous ones.

Having sex with animals is something that people who care more about such things can discuss. I have no interest.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

I agree. But we have MANY people all f'd up over it though. I really don't see any difference between that and just having a bunch of baby's mommas all over the place. But as a society we don't want it.

Yup. No real reason not to if we are gonna just make marriage just based on "who you love" and "rights". Might as well allow a couple sisters and brothers get married. Why not? But society frowns on that too.

And from a human standpoint. There are very few gays. So lets just not allow it too. You know from a percentage standpoint. Only 1-2% of marriages are same sex.

Sounds like homosexuality to most other people...except of course in a homosexuality discussion forum. Or this web site which for some reason has WAAAY more gay marriage traffic than anything. Weird.

It's not weird. There are some people that I know here from the Yahoo News boards that came here when they shut those down because of people like you and gary.

So again, if you allow gay marriage, why not allow polygamy, incest, and zoophilia. You know, since "legally" we can pull anything out of our human asshats and call it "legal".

"Gay marriage" is a step backward in human evolutionary thinking.

How many times have we had to explain that to them?

Their hunger for circular arguments is incredible.

Gary, I have not ever been unresponsive to that very old point you are making. I have answered it the same way every single time. I don't care what any two people do together as long as both people have consented to it. What don't you comprehend about that or the word victim? Please stop saying that I don't answer that anymore. You only say that so you can keeping spewing out the same garbage about how gay marriage is no different then what you postulated. Please, I have said it enough times now that even you should be able to understand it. How did you ever graduate with such a thick head?
