Since two men or two women can't produce kids, they can't marry.

Can a man and woman marry if one of them is infertile?

I happened to be in a chat room the other day, when someone said something about gay marriage. I stated I did not believe "marriage" should be available for homosexuals. I was immediately attacked, booted and called a homo-phobe.

I SORTA agree here, in that I don't think marriage should be a government function, but rather it is a religious one. So, I don't care if gay people get married if a church will do it, and there are churches that will. What I object to is forcing a religious concept to be forced to change by the government.

So, I'm against all government interference in marriage, and think it should be just be a legal process in the regard that the government is involved, and gay people by all standards could enjoy the same legal benefits. But marriage itself is a religious institution. Sorry, that is where it came from, that is what it is. I see zero reason the government should be involved in that, when a legal contract could easily replace the function, because that is all the government involvement in marriage is about anyway.


So for those small, closed minded individuals, let me also tell you what else I am. I am male-phobic as I dont believe boys need to be in the girl scouts. I am female phobic for the opposite reason.

I am a racist, because I dont believe anyone should be called a african-american, japanese-american, etc. I think we should just all be americans.

I don't care for all the long names either, I'm like third(edited to change to third, shows how little importance I put on that stuff) generation mostly german.  I really could give two licks about Germany, or Europe for that matter, I'm american for better or worse. I just don't understand attachments to long left homelands. It doesn't compute at all.

I am a gun rights lunatic because I own a few guns, which I inherited; and I dont believe taking away the rights of the majority because a minority cant obey the rules.

I guess I'd be a gun rights lunatic as well.

I am a nazi because I think cops should be allowed to shoot you if you run.

Yes, you are a nazi to believe that. LOL. Well maybe not a nazi, but why in the hell should the cop have a right to kill you for running. I broke curfew as a kid several times, and I ran from the cops. I wasn't stealing or breaking shit, just going somewhere. I should be SHOT over that.  And let's not forget that cops are just people in a particular profession, given the power to kill almost indiscriminately  (He ran), one would imagine at the least needless killings would go up, and even murders by cops would increase.
