: : Do you think same sex marraige should be allowed ?? : : : : Now THIS should get some talk going .. I am pretty sure EVERYONE has an opinion on this .. I am most interested in WHY we all think what we do. : : The answer I would offer is: NO, because EVOLUTION WORKS !! : : Traits that strengthen a species carry on through breeding .. the STRONGEST survive .. traits that weaken a species are weeded out by natural selection as well .. homosexuality CANNOT perpetuate itself through marraige .. so it CANNOT be a natural, dominate, beneficial trait. If God wanted homosexuals around .. they would be able to make more homosexuals without needing the other sex !! : : I am NOT a supporter of same sex marraige .. but not really for the usual religious reasons .. but more for a social/financial reason. : : I don't want my tax dollars going to pay for same sex couples to adopt, artificially insemenate or any other PSEUDO-method of having children .. If same-sex marraiges are truly a natural thing .. lets let them take their NATURAL course .. there should be NO CHILDREN !! : : I certainly don't want to be paying for healthcare costs created within the marraiges. (if one partner was HIV infected before wedding, the other shouldn't collect medical costs if he/she contracts HIV AFTER the wedding) : : I won't say they don't have a RIGHT to live as they see fit .. they can do whatever they want in their own homes .. BUT .. there are too many people out there who translate LIFESTYLE rights onto FINANCIAL BENEFIT rights !! : : If being homosexual is what they WANT to be .. then they need to accept the realities of that lifestyle. They WILL NOT, nor do they have some RIGHT to children .. they can't have them NATURALLY in their chosen lifestyle .. we don't OWE them the chance to raise kids. : : We don't allow people the RIGHT to drink and drive .. because the two actions don't combine in a positive way .. what BENEFIT TO SOCIETY does gay marraige provide ? : : Corporations are facing HUGE healthcare benefit costs as it is .. now they will be forced to cover high-risk people as SPOUSES or family plan members. : : If these couples are willing to sign waivers that they accept the risks/responsibilities involved .. and will NOT try to siphon public funds .. then let them ACT married all they want. Just because they have a paper that allows them to marry .. doesn't mean the rest of the world has to suddenly accept them or foot their bills. : : An aside in the HIV arena .. I don't think we (taxpayers) should be footing the bill for all the AIDS cases due to drug use either .. if you contracted the virus doing something ILLEGAL .. you don't have the RIGHT to free treatment .. rehab centers should be PRISON HOSPITALS .. not HEALTH RESORTS. : : Sorry if that was too many guns blazing in too many directions .. but I feel better !! : : Let the rebuttal begin !! : I have no problem with same sex marriage. I do not think it should be taught that being gay is the norm, otherwise humans would cease to exist if everyone was gay. However, love comes when you least expect it, and its not fair that 2 people who love each other & live together for most of their life can't get benefits when one of them dies, they can't take advantage of each others health insurance, etc. : As for paying for HIV, straight people can have HIV too, and we pay for them. We don't know "how" every single infected person got it, so we can't assume they all got it from being gay. And its scary that you say we shouldn't pay for people who got HIV from drug use, while that may sound good int heory if the gov't started 'that' type of policy where would it end? We'd be picking & choosing who to help, and that's not right. : Gays having kids . . I see no difference there. Nobody can pre-determine who will make good parents & who will be bad parents. If the gay ppl love each other enough to say "to hell with society" and live together, they may just be strong enough to raise some decent kids. As a woman who can't have children, I would not want someone telling me I can't adopt b/c of any reason. There's too many kids out there who need a decent home.
