You're embarrassing yourself again mate. You seriously sound like you crawled out of Tony Abbott's basement with some of the shit you come up with :lol: Gay marriage is somehow comparable to essentially incest?

You were on your way to become a non-joke, but... FMD :LOL:

It's stupid to compare gay marriage to incest.

But to answer the separate question about siblings getting married - they are two consenting adults, and there shouldn't be a problem. If your concern is genetic defects for the offspring, then presumably you'd be willing to ban two people carrying genetic diseases (e.g. Fragile X, where there are instances where it is possible to tell with certainty prior conception that a child will suffer) from marrying?

Incestuous relationships can lead to children with some pretty horrendous genetic defects, which in all honesty, should not be allowed to happen. Now this may come as a shock to you so you might want to sit down before you read the rest of this comment, but same sex couples cannot acctually procreate by themselves and are therefore impacting nobodies lives but their own.



Also a ludicrous statement. There are numerous personal and economical factors involving things like this that cannot simply be brushed away with the stroke of a pen. Housing all the homeless would require huge sums of money and manpower that this country is unwilling to pay. Gay marriage however requires about zero money and nothing more than a pen and some paper and from the moment it is signed life will go on as usual for the entire country.

People justify gay marriage by saying that whatever two consenting adults do is their business. Fine.

Why then can't two consenting siblings choose to get married? What is your thoughts on that?

Re: Scotch

Ever heard of adoption mate?

Blokes tying themselves in intellectual knots over this. The answer is they can't because it's socially unacceptable. (But they're not honest enough to say so and instead say things like "well if they're consenting adults that's OK".)

Not true, nor should it be. Siblings shouldn't marry.

Homosexuals marrying each other used to be be socially unacceptable but has become less so. Apparently that's OK.

I made the same argument as 433 about 2 or 3 pages back about polygamous marriages, rather than incest in this case, but no one was game enough to argue against it.

The slippery slope argument is thrown about as a way of shutting down the discussion but no amount of obfuscation hides the fact that if one sort of marriage is OK then all types of marriage are OK.

At least be honest and say you are happy to discriminate against some types of marriage.

^^^ 442 delivers again.

Incest being defended as a legitimate relationship.

Gold!

topic (its about the foxtel ad) finished a while ago

Can we continue talking about gay marriage in the australian politics thread?

You're getting a liberal (small l) ideological point of view mixed up with your own thought processes.

Gold!

Funny, I was only cancelling it because I'm sick of paying to watch ads period !
