Here comes Cloudlet to spoil my socratic method exercises. You just have to ruin a good time, don't you? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Say.... Weren't we discussing gays at some point? Which reminds me of an interesting tale. In VT prior to the whole Civil Union thing, here's a couple I knew: Man/Husband and Woman/Wife until Man decides he wants a sex change operation. Then, they *look like* woman and woman but are legally married still under the law. What's more, you can't change your gender on your birth certificate, so despite the snip-snip and what reality actually is, they are still, to this day, man and wife under the law. In fact, since they are man and wife, these 2 WOMEN are not eligible for the Civil Union. How's that one? |

[img]graemlins/stormy.gif[/img] Hey, just keeping you on track, mr Philospher
Now that's a very uh...disconcerting story! I didn't realize that about the birth certificates.

We could play this game all day. Keeping in mind the population growth occurs most in the poorest areas of the planet. It's a good check and balance. The rich nations succumb to childlessness, and die out, replaced by the poorer childbearing nations. |

Consider that this law was passed in the US, which means that the law is bound to meet standards set by the US constitution and US legal precedents.
Following both, the outlawing of the homosexual civil union would require the repeal of the 1st ammendment to fit legally. Given that, we have a serious problem...

Why? [/QUOTE]Statements like Why? are exempt from the rules that normally govern sentence structure. Some of the single word sentences you have used are completely without meaning. What exactly does it mean to end a paragraph with the word 'Simple'. What is simple? The paragraph? The writer of aforementioned paragraph? I am assuming the latter. Quote:

What I have advocated is society's right to encourage and subsidise humans it wishes to. And for the record, no I'm not communist. Nor am I insulted if you call me one either. However, it's an attempted flame, and I hope the moderators note that in this thread alone, you have now called me - The product of incest Not in posession of full mental capacity A communist All with the intent to belittle or insult. Just because I have a different viewpoint. Who intolerantly advocates thoughtcrime now? |
