    "Obama supports marriage equality"

    Link.

    It's about time. I don't believe for a second that his opinion has "evolved." He's been a gay marriage supporter all along. The only thing that's evolved is his willingness to actually tell people what he thinks.

    To be honest, I read so many horror stories of marriage and divorce, its really scared me into not even looking for a partner. I sometimes wonder why gay people would even want it. Although in divorce court you may finally get non biased rulings, lol.


    Msg #2: On 5/10/2012 at 9:28:10 AM, Mr. Chaos replied, saying:
    Can we play a game where we count how many people who are claiming this is 'an attack on marriage' are divorced? Extra points if they have been divorced more than once. Triple points if they cheated on their spouse.


    Msg #3: On 5/10/2012 at 6:55:17 PM, Varan101 replied, saying:
    It's all just an excuse to find the next boogeyman. We have to have someone that we think we deserve to look down upon. The Bible says we are all sinners, and I don't recall it saying that Gay people are inherently the worst sinners on God's ranking charts even though most people treat them that way. But its easy to demonize them because they are in the minority, and its one of the few sins that a lot of people can claim they haven't committed. Even if you believe in such things, I don't think God would look badly upon you just because your neighbor does something he doesn't approve of. The act of homosexuality is the sin itself, and I don't see how marriage or no marriage changes that.

    Anyway, if this means more weddings I have to attend in the future, then the number of open bars will surely increase as well. I will therefore support the president.

    Finally, what does being divorced have to do with destroying marriage? I - and a few others on the board - are divorced, but the only thing we're guilty of is marrying emotionally stunted whores (well, I am, anyway).

    He's been lying about his position on it for 16 years. Enjoy hope and change. Also, he isn't going to actually campaign for it or include it in the party platform and he still supposedly supports it as a state rights issue so what, exactly, was the news? I'm fine with marriage being extended to anyone but the number of people gushing about it (people who were already going to vote for him anyway) as some miraculous thing is pathetic.

    First President in history to actually hold this opinion. It might not be a big deal to you, but then you've always had the support of the government when it came to YOUR marriage. So get off the high horse and stop shitting on our parade.

    on the other hand though it is absolutely pathetic that there are millions of people dying and starving and diseased everywhere and terrible things happen all over this world and yet

    the american population still thinks that GAY MARRIAGE is worthy of actual, legitimate fucking debate.


    it's sickening. the amount of luxury and privilege you don't even know you have, debating GAY MARRIAGE while civilians are being bombed in other countries. like, jesus fucking christ get OVER it.

    HAPPY PLACE. Anyway, that's a red herring argument, and what do you know about people bombing in other countries? Calm down, mang.

    How is it a red herring argument if my point is that there are certainly more pressing concerns in the united states, let along the entire planet, that are deserving of the attention that seems to be placed on the 'sanctity of marriage'. Why are people worried about gay marriage when there are so many other things, LEGITIMATE concerns, they could worry about?

    No, it doesn't. I was using the comparison mostly to say that people will get their panties in a wad over something as harmless as marriage equality, and yet they won't bat an eyelash about actual troublesome things in the world. Why are you letting the silly homos get you so worked up? Why are you not getting worked up about people dying? What type of priorities do you have to think like that?

    QuickComment, yes, but then perhaps you can tell me what horrible event will happen if/when marriage equality happens in the country. Because I honestly have no idea.

    I think their point is that just because something may seem trivial in comparison with other things, doesn't indicate how we should legislate it. Nobody on this site opposes marriage equality.

    I have no doubt that there are groups trying to get prayer removed from public schools for instance, and no doubt there are religious people who claim 'don't these people have better things to advocate considering all the suffering in the world?'. There are plenty of reasons to support gay marriage bills, but 'priorities' is a bit bizarre.

    "I" am not getting particularly worked about this, unless you meant "you" in the rhetorical sense; it's tough for me to interpret properly, this being the internet and all. In any case, it's fallacious to introduce an unrelated topic in order to divert attention away from the original discussion. That is literally a textbook definition of a red herring.

    I'm usually not one to start talking about logical fallacies outright while debating on the internet (I probably use them all the time when I don't take a discussion very seriously), but obviously this topic is of some importance to you and I feel you should be able to articulate your thoughts better than you have been.
