I believe in gay marriage

[short-circuit]

LoL! Or maybe a patch of oil on a wet road resulting in a back held together by a ladder work of Titanium. Sucks that it happened in a van at about 45km/h though.

All part of the master plan though eh Ed?

No master plan. It's called life and crap happens, doesn't matter who you are.

On the upside, I am alive and walking which is a lot more than some have to say.

Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift a stone, and you will find me there. Slide on an oil patch, it was an accident.

What is marriage.??? What is civil union ??? What is living in sin as it was called ?? What is 2 people in love living together ????.
How does a cheap or fucking expensive ceremony and piss up afterwards enhance the life of the happy couple. It doesnt. A bit of paper means nothing at the end of the day.

HOW does a piece of paper Whether it be a marriage certificate or a civil union signing mean more than any couple being in love without it and expressing their love to each other daily.
Anyone that seems to NEEDS the sanctity of marriage in my mind in this day and age is insecure.

However I will admit I am getting married next year to the only woman I have ever truely loved .

Not for the sanctity of marriage or insecurity .Merely to proclaim to any fucker that cares how much I care about my one true love.

uhm, I think you just answered your own question. marriage means something to everyone, it just doesnt necessarily mean the same thing to everyone.

I doubt it that's true at all. Paul Henry doesn't seem to be particularly respectful of religions (or anything for that matter) publicly but he still got jobs...

.

paul henry is a shock jock. he got a job because he is a brainless lout who opens his mouth, and says offensive things, which gets attention, and as a result, ratings.

Isn't it so that "once a biker, always a biker?"

No it isnt. you dont have a bike. you dont ride a bike. you arent a biker.

There's every chance that if gay marriage becomes legal in this country it will be followed by a 20+ year wait for gay divorce to become legal also.

Ok for those who lack reading comprehension. I said my point is that what some say does not reflect how they personally feel. Or another way- people who are vocal about how normal and good homosexuality is, do not feel that way in their hearts.

Or again... Despite the loud and persistent public noise about it the actual fact is that by far the majority of people are in fact still repulsed by it.

People are too scared to say what they honestly think and feel due to the vociferous and vitriolic, and at times violent, response from pro homosexuals.

You cannot work in the public media unless you are vocally pro homosexuals and if discussing the topic you must be publicly supportive regardless how you may personally feel. On this the small minority rules the majority.

Well said.
The silent majority might just get off their collective arses for this one,,or at lest I hope so.
You see to me it's not about hating homo's,,on this particular subject it's about what for me and a lot of other people is protecting a sacred institution from any form of perversion.
Don't like that word,,tough it's the only way I can describe the under mining of something I do consider sacred.
Somebody asked what's the point of marriage.
I had this discussion with my own girl a long time ago and this was my answer,which after 33 years of marriage I still stand by.
Marriage to me is the expression of total commitment.
Her reply was that her "boy friend" claimed to be totally commited to her but he didn't believed in marriage.
My reply ,,So he claims to be totally commited,,,,but he's not commited quite enough to marry you,,so tell me,,,how's that total ?
Turned out he was so commited he fucked off as soon as the fucking got cut off,,,total commitment on his part,,,yeah right.
Yeah 38% of marriages end in divorce,,so 62% last for life,pretty good odds to anybody with any faith in themselves.
Somebody else claimed that pretty much anything is just a result of what we're taught by our parents at home,,,well bad news fella,,I was bought up without parents and had no concept of homos until I was around 13 years old and living in a welfare boys home where I met a pre'op Transexual,,,my very first reaction was,,,,Fucking what,,eeeewwwww mate.
That wasn't taught,it was a natural reaction to something unnatural.
So all you Homo lovers get used to it,,I don't hate homos,I simply find them repulsive and I don't want them sullying something I consider sacred.
Other than this one thing,they can carry on rooting each other up the bum til the cows come home,,not my arse so I don't care.

Just out of interest, would the animals have an age of consent...?

Sums up my act completely - only I don't get paid for it - or ratings.

wait till they discover divorce....!

LOL! True... Then they'll say "Ff it! You can have it back!"

Let them have it too, I say! They deserve the right to be equally miserable and to divorce as straight people!

*Gasp* That's just shocking!

A typical response from one completely lacking in the ability to comprehend what he reads.

Ed, you seem to be a reasonably intelligent human being, why are you so opposed to a small minority of the population living a lifestyle different from your own? It doesn't directly affect you in any way whatsoever, if you closed your eyes you wouldn't even be aware of it.

Just to be clear, I'm directing these questions at you because you seem more capable of answering them them than many others. I understand that your religion is important to you, and I have many good friends who consider themselves to be good Christians. They don't feel the need to tell others how to live though.

I genuinely struggle to understand how you feel that you have any right to tell other people how they ought to live their life from your own position. You are not God, nor are you God's messenger, it's hard to see how you have any religious justification beyond your own interpretation of the bible. Which is surely a deeply personal matter. Why are you trying to influence how people respond to what is a totally personal matter?

[Madness]

Ed, why are you so opposed to a small minority of the population living a lifestyle different from your own? It doesn't directly affect you in any way whatsoever, if you closed your eyes you wouldn't even be aware of it.

From where I stand it appears that Ed is opposed to the vast majority of the population living a lifestyle different from his own.

You are not God, nor are you God's messenger...

Fuck, talk about giving the old bastard a heart-attack.

[short-circuit]

Ed, you seem to be a reasonably intelligent human being...

That's not consistent with my reading of the situation

Gays cant procreate sheeeeeh

You managed to...
