Yes, that's exactly what we do. Some people want to control other people's lives; who the hell cares what they think? It's none of their damn business.

50% of heterosexual marriages ending in divorce is mockery enough, I would think.

Marriage between man and woman is a "basic fundamental right", not same sex marriage.

Just as all women have the "basic fundamental right" to have children, but men need not apply because that would be unnatural. Same sex relationship trying to ride that "basic fundamental right" crap is bullshit.

"Homophobia" is a bullshit homemade word to kiss gay people's ass. "Homophobia" is the same abhorrent feeling you get when you hear about a case of incest or zoophilia. And many of the same reasons apply to feel that way about each deviation.

A similar number of pregnancies ending in some form of miscarriage does not justify abortion or poor parenting.
The actual percentage of miscarriages is estimated to be as high as 50% of all pregnancies, since many miscarriages occur without the woman ever having known she was pregnant.

And saying the divorce rate is 50% doesn't quite cover all the factors involved. Some people should just not get married it seems. They are jacking up the numbers.
Divorce Rate : Divorce Rate In America
According to enrichment journal on the divorce rate in America:
The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%
The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%

Oh oh. Now we have the "specifically said" disease coming out. You are soo typical dude.
We've been over this before. The word IS made up. It's meaning that has come about is against its etymological structure. "Made up" in this case goes a bit further than just "created".

You are using "made up" words as a value judgement on those words.

I believe challenging such a (stupid) distortion of language is deserving.

There ARE no words that weren't made up. EVER. To suggest otherwise is to be either dishonest or uneducated in the area being discussed.

aberrant - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Naa, I'm happy with it. It fits. And you know what I mean since you have already indicated that my posts in other forums matter to "you", I'm satisfied I'm getting my point across. You are just acting dense. Or are you acting????
