The poll itself is anonymous, no one will know which way you voted unless you say so. | ||

I don't see anyone forcing you to vote in the poll, so uh, what's the problem? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + First off, I'm voting Yes (no gay marriage). I've had exhaustive debates (one was 2 hours long) with my liberal friends on this, who view it as a civil rights issue. They believe that, all people have an inherent right to marry whomever they want. Each and every person, I was able to whittle them down to acknowledging that marriage is inherently exclusive, rather than inclusive (eg, why not polygamy, too?) and then they admit that marriage should probably be absolved anyways. It's kind of scary seeing that conservatives are correct, in that such liberals do want to undermine marriage, a construct which I see as the most essential context of socialization of children. I see the nuclear family as ideal and meriting preservation. | ||

Why not? It's not for me, but who am I to tell consenting adults what sort of relationships they should or should not form? | ||

Because most of the time from what I've seen its not consensual. Young girls are forced into it because they are raised within cult-like communities. | ||

mindspike: Do not confuse polygamy with pedophilia/incest (why do people always do this). We are talking about, let's say, 3 consenting adults. Who are you to tell them they can't be married? | ||

I see this semantic realignment as a weakening attempt. When you broaden the definition that it can no longer be distinguished from casual dating, it's no longer significant. It is significant because it is exclusive. | ||

In other words, I want to marry a girl for exactly 5 years. Why not? If both parties agree to that going in, I have no problem with it. (I suspect you are a marriage abolitionist at heart) In what sense? | ||
