I agree. I've learnt so much about Australian Football and enjoyed the mature, reasoned discussion. Does not deserve lock.

You're back to your old self son. You'd fit right in with the republicans who wanted the blacks to still be on the backs of busses.

The church is a religious institution.


Yes, yes it is. But marriage is a state institution.



The word marriage has been related to the pairing of man and woman only for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I find it difficult to appreciate that overnight it now relates to two people of the same sex.

Call it partners or something else but lay off the description marriage.

Black people have been equated to slavery for millennia. I find it difficult to believe all of a sudden that they are now free.

Call it "pro-bono work assistant" but don't call them free. That's for white people only.

Only white people can handle both the rights AND responsibilities of being free.


Slavery has nothing to do with religion and tradition but is one of the blights in human nature's past.

Poor comparison.

Its exactly the same. Slavery was deeply entrenched with religion and tradition.

Once again, I'm correct.


A civil union is a non religious marriage.

My marriage to my wife is a civil marriage. By a civil celebrant. Gay marriage advocates want to marry in civil ceremonies, not religious ones. A civil union is not a civil marriage.


Why should it be, when it doesn't comply with the law that it is a union between a man and a woman?

As far as I'm concerned, heterosexuals against gay marriage have every right to protect an institution they believe in, when under the law, a gay union is treated in the same way as regards to property, (which is one of only two issues,the other being children that the Law concerns itself with. There is no civil law discrimination. Children's issues for obvious reasons-one partner is not the biological parent- are a different situation).

If you're not talking about the legal property treatment of gay unions then you're talking about the social definition of marriage. In that case, people in that society have every right to define it how they see fit. A gay union is not the same as heterosexual union, so why should it be given a name that has never before history been used to describe that type of union? You can't legislate to tell people "this is what we now call marriage", when that simply is not and will not be the case for about 98% of that society.

Interracial marriage used to be illegal too.

An irrelevant argument in this discussion.

Clearly it is completely relevant. Laws that govern marriage have changed over time.

You used to not be allowed to divorce, you used to not be allowed to get married outside of the church. You used to only be allowed to marry your own race. You used to only be allowed to marry someone of the same religion. You used to only be allowed to marry someone of the opposite gender.

No shit, because if minorities don't have a voice because people like you disregard everything they say, other people are going to stand up and say it for them. You know, just like the black rights movement?

Fucking clueless.


Your the clueless one who seems to pick and choose what to read and what not to read. I have every right to defend my religion just like any you have every right to defend what you believe in.
A bullshit attack was made on Christianity so I had my say. If you can't handle it that's your problem.
Just remember not everyone has to have the same view.

Its like your mum gave you a piece of cake for your birthday and you are chomping down and thinking this is grouse and then she fucks it all up by giving your brother a piece as well.

I could argue that gay marriage is about having a piece of the same cake for no other reason that your brother got one too. See how that goes.

Why should the legal definition be changed to accommodate the life choices of a minute minority?

There is no discrimination in the law against homosexuals who can have whatever emotional and physical relationship they want with whomever they want. The law will not interfere. Property rights are the same for anyone cohabiting.

But its not a man and woman and so its not a marriage.

Sexuality is not a choice. People who choose their sexuality are bisexual or pansexual. Sexuality is more likely a spectrum.

88% of men and 78% of women identify as exclusively straight. 9% of men have had same sex attraction/experiences. 19% of women have had same sex attraction/experiences. 3% of the population identify as exclusively homosexual.

In that case, people in that society have every right to define it how they see fit. A gay union is not the same as heterosexual union, so why should it be given a name that has never before history been used to describe that type of union? You can't legislate to tell people "this is what we now call marriage", when that simply is not and will not be the case for about 98% of that society.


Why would anyone give a shit if gay people can also get married unless they were worried that it was normalising the gay lifestyle?

Its like your mum gave you a piece of cake for your birthday and you are chomping down and thinking this is grouse and then she fucks it all up by giving your brother a piece as well.



I could argue that gay marriage is about having a piece of the same cake for no other reason that your brother got one too. See how that goes.

Why should the legal definition be changed to accommodate the life choices of a minute minority?

There is no discrimination in the law against homosexuals who can have whatever emotional and physical relationship they want with whomever they want. The law will not interfere. Property rights are the same for anyone cohabiting.

But its not a man and woman and so its not a marriage.

Sexuality is not a choice. People who choose their sexuality are bisexual or pansexual. Sexuality is more likely a spectrum.

88% of men and 78% of women identify as exclusively straight. 9% of men have had same sex attraction/experiences. 19% of women have had same sex attraction/experiences. 3% of the population identify as exclusively homosexual.

Sticking with the theme of this thread, I would call it backward integration.

Not saying they have to be, but are any of those other than Mitcham and Kowalski LGBT?


does that matter? what does their sexuality have to do with you?

This thread proves a real "argument" with you is impossible.

You're a fucking idiot, and you prove that every single time you decide to vomit over the keyboard and hit post.

Mate, you're the last person anyone on this entire fucking forum would have a realistic discussion or argument with. At least when I troll people it's because I'm purposefully acting like a completely intellectually disabled vegetable , and don't actually believe the shit in real life. It's a pity the same can't be said for you.

I find it ironic that you, who is apparently so against rules and regulations in terms of something as meaningless as the environment at a football stadium would actually, willfully be against people getting married out of no reason other than your personal wishes.

If the real world is one where gay people can't get married because you'd rather have a religious tradition trump civil rights while at the same time you whinge like an ice addict going through withdrawals about the fact that the NT can't have flares, I'm glad I am not a part of it.
