SCOTUS: Same Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide

[Crampknees]

Some of you are far more skilled at mocking than you are at actually posting a cogent opinion on the topic.

What if Juan never liked the opinions some of us used and opinioned our opinions to death.  Mocking then shall follow.

Jay hearts Juan. Well, Jay and Phil, for obvious reasons.

Juan is better than I am at copy and paste.  Was it TFunke who said release the bakunin.  I agree.  nate and Geoff can start the popcorn, i'll bring the beer. 

Interpretation: JS can find evidence of what he's saying faster than Swanson can find rationalizations for his lies. 

 

By the way, is there another way to post passages in a forum than copying and pasting? 

[Crampknees]

copying and pasting? 

[Crampknees]

Juan is gone a few minutes, Jay shows up.  Juan is back....Jay?  hmmmmmmm

I don't read almost any of juan's posts because they are confusing and I am easily confused.

 

Does he engage in name-calling, baiting or other offenses?

No, he's just all over the place

I'm the idiot when you paint with such a broad brush that you alienate yourself from everyone, ok smart guy. Hey all you liberals that got married, you probably just did it for shits and giggles and not because it was important. Well now that "Love Wins" you can find marriage important. I'll be stupid and you can continue to be a complete ****ing tool.

You insulted first. I respond to every post with the same tone used, although the substance will remain based in fact and reason.

 

You do understand that people aren't machines. There's variation. Not all people of this ideology do this and that. Marriage had a lot of cultural momentum from the time it was attacked beginning in the turn of the century (https://www.csustan.edu/sites/default/files/History/Faculty/Weikart/Marx-Engels-and-the-Abolition-of-the-Family.pdf) and until recently, where a minority of adults are now married or close to a minority.  

 

If you look at the trend in the Western world, where gay "marriage" started, marriage rates and reverence for marriage are at all time lows. It's common to refer to the modern West as "post-marriage." A large minority of Western babies, except for Muslims, are to unmarried parents. People who don't marry have less children. So, while some liberals have children, they tend to have much less of them, for example. 

 

But, Love Wins!

Plenty of times.

That's one way of putting it. I make connections between things. So, while most people see opposition to SSM as hate, I see it as part of a long attack on the institution. I also correct historical inaccuracies. 

[juansavage1]

Plenty of times.

No, I don't. I make generalizations based on facts like, "liberal people marry less." For some, uncomfortable facts are hate crimes. 

[Angelsjunky]

What's wrong with the fact that liberals marry less? What's wrong with not being married?

 

Juan, how is same-sex marriage an attack on the institution of marriage?

Eh, Juan is just obsessed with turning every discussion into libs vs cons. I didn't know that liberals were such big admirers of Stalin until he told me.

[nate]

So the percentage of Republicans getting married is declining fast than the national average.  Interesting.  I wonder what republicans have against marriage? 

 

Probably the butt ****ing part

I saw at least one "you ignorant idiot" from him.

 

My favorite thing though is anything we say to him he requests evidence but then he uses anecdotes and feelings to support his posts.

[RallyMo]

More (different?) people wanting to be married = attack on the cultural institution of marriage.

 

Sweet.

Fair enough, I was just wondering why it seemed everyone was going after him instead of just ignoring him.

The specimen in his natural habitat may be accustomed to only having to provide anecdotal evidence.  Give him time.  He seems to have made great progress with fire, hand tools, and internets.

My last word barring specific questions is that the next president will work alongside a very old supreme Court.

As the dissenters said, this court is very political.

Hillary is older than 5 of the SC Justices

Freaking old people

I'm thinking about switching golf balls. I've been playing Nike Vapors for a while and I like them, but they travel a bit longer than I'd like off my irons. 

 

Anyone have a suggestion for a mid-priced ball? $20/Dozen or so.

[Lou]

So should we settle it the usual way?

go to In-N-Out?

Range balls have always been my go to.  A little white out on the stripes will lessen the judgmental looks from other golfers.

[juansavage1]

A reasonable question in a nice tone.

There's two ways to answer this, depending if you're defending the actual institution or just the institution's importance.

If you're primarily defend the former, then any change to an actual thing is an attack. Painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa isn't extending it's appeal to those with mustaches,its disfiguring it.

If you think the latter, you're talking about the normal reaction to something without meaning. In places where marriage is a social construct and a lifestyle choice, a really serious boyfriend, a piece of paper if not an instrument of oppression and engine of inequality for Marxists (including feminists) guess what? They don't marry. It's not the building block of society. If you think marriage is important in this way and realize the consequences, then it's an attack.

What's wrong with the fact that liberals marry less? What's wrong with not being married?

Juan, how is same-sex marriage an attack on the institution of marriage?
