Better question, what does it do to limit you and your freedom?

Septy · December 02, 2014, 06:28:12 AM

So you should only do something if it benefits you?

Damn dustbin

Why should anyone support something that doesn't benefit anyone but themselves? Oh I don't know, maybe because they want to help people.

rC · December 02, 2014, 07:51:24 AM

Don't you want to get married someday, dustypoo?

It lets them file joint taxes so that less money goes to the government. Because of that, a portion goes back into the national and local economies, stimulating job growth and economic recovery. Another significant portion will be invested into banks and stocks; the banks will use this investment to invest in other money markets, increasing the money supply of the country (and subsequently the world). The final portion will go into a retirement plan that allows the couple to retire on time to open up jobs for the younger generation and ease the burden of welfare on them as well. Oh and also because it's none of your fucking business and shit doesn't need to directly benefit you to be good, even though gay marriage is demonstrably good for you and preventing it is tantamount to communism.

You're not a communist, are you?

Why should I, as a white male, want blacks to be able to vote?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade
Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

You don't have to support it. All you have to do is not oppose it.

Slippery slope logical fallacy? I highly doubt they're going to repeal straight marriage.

*sigh*

I know you aren't being serious so I just won't bother.

Man, imagine what the world would be like if people only did things that directly benefited them...

]It's just an exercise. If you can't get people to listen to you, how are you going to do well in politics? Give me your best emotional argument to sway someone in support of gay marriage (or any matter you feel passionate about).

You and I both know you aren't stupid enough to be taken in by such arguments. They're meant for the unwashed masses.

Well for one, it'll get gay marriage rallies out of the 5 o'clock news.
