and DOMA is...

[spartacus1984]

And what is the point?

what do you think the point is?

 

[Cute Tink]

what do you think the point is?

I'm asking you for a reason. You brought it up. You put it into words. There is no point in me guessing.

 

[spartacus1984]

Why would they be doing that?

that is the right question.

Why would they be doing that?

 

[SharonL]

OK, I'll bite. I would think it was abnormal, in that it's not what people normally do.

That's the point he is trying to make - bananas don't belong in ears - put 2 and 2 together.

You know people who put bananas in their ears? That sounds off topic.

2+2 is 4.

But Sharon...

who said anything about homosexuals?

It's not about what it's about.

that is the right question.

Why would they be doing that?

Which would kind of explain why they aren't. State your point please. For someone who has said to me a number of times that I wasn't answering your questions, you sure don't like to answer questions.

All that thumbs up means is that you have brought up this off topic pursuit in three topics....

So that was really supposed to be an analogy for gay male anal sex as an argument against SSM marriage?

If so, it utterly fails. Since many straight people stick bananas in their ears. Some even put bananas in their ears and mouth at the same time. Maybe a banana up the nose, too. Many gay men don't stick bananas in their ears. Gay women don't put bananas in their ears at all, but rather rub two clams together. Or put fake bananas in their mouths. Probably sometimes their ears, too. Some people will eat a taco while sticking a banana in their mouth or ear. Never mind that none of these things have anything to do with getting married, but rather what one does or doesn't do with their bananas.

but what is normal?

 

[Cute Tink]

but what is normal?

Why does normal matter?

 

[spartacus1984]

Why does normal matter?

that is the right question.

Why does normal matter?

 

[Cute Tink]

that is the right question.

Why does normal matter?

That isn't an answer. It doesn't matter to me. It sure seems to matter to you.

 

[Skaloop]

but what is normal?

I don't know that there is a normal. Even if there is, why should not being normal in and of itself prevent anyone from doing anything?

 

[Desk trauma]

that is the right question.

Why does normal matter?

Your answer to that "right question" is what?

 

[spartacus1984]

I don't know that there is a normal. Even if there is, why should not being normal in and of itself prevent anyone from doing anything?

tell that to rapist and child molester.
because you can and will you this argument to justify any and all behavior, this is just the beginning of the descent.

 

[Cute Tink]

tell that to rapist and child molester.
because you can and will you this argument to justify any and all behavior, this is just the beginning of the descent

There are reasons why that is wrong outside of it not being normal.

You still haven't answered the question.

And we don't and won't use this argument to justify any and all behavior.

 

[Skaloop]

Gee, how did I know this would be the tone of your response?

The fact is, there are reasons for those being wrong that have nothing to do with their abnormality.

And to turn the tables a little bit, lying is normal. Pretty much everybody does it. Does that make lying right because it is normal? Does that make telling the truth wrong because it is abnormal? You know what else is abnormal? Being a Christian. Even being male is abnormal. Got any problems with those things?

 

[Paulos23]

that is the right question.

Why does normal matter?

It doesn't matter. Normal doesn't mean a dang thing as to wether something should be allowed or not. As long as someone isn't physically hurt why should I can where they stick their bannanas.
