Sorry, but I was actually askin...<i>Code of Hammurabi</i><br /><br />Sorry, but I was actually asking for a citation for "the hypothetical possibility of [reproduction] has been part of the definition of it as long as the term has existed." And obviously, it hasn't. There have been same-sex marriages in the past, and even now, many different countries and several U.S. states have same-sex marriage. So reproduction has not always been a part of the definition of marriage.<br /><br /><i>I'm saying you need to set aside your USA-centric obsession with conflating gender, race and sexual orientation and look at the question objectively.</i><br /><br />What, exactly, does that even mean? Are Americans really known for "conflating gender, race and sexual orientation"? I just want everyone to be equal. You seem to think there's something wrong with that. Why don't you look at this objectively?<br /><br />As for your comparison to Wimbledon, see my response above.euphgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735904882260895431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572739179315002435.post-55603566797894656922014-05-05T21:35:44.792-04:002014-05-05T21:35:44.792-04:001) So do you think that Anonymous knows what they&...1) So do you think that Anonymous knows what they're talking about when it comes to science, or are you just complaining about me not expanding my argument?<br /><br />2) No, it is not special pleading. I never focused exclusively on active homosexuals, as I support the right of any two adults, no matter the gender, to get married. They can be hetero, homo, or anything in between. And not necessarily active. As far as polygamists, I would support that as long as the women aren't treated like chattel like in the FLDS. With consanguineous marriage, I find it rather pointless, as marriage creates a legal kinship between two people, which consanguineous couples obviously already have without marriage.<br /><br />You can't compare a sports competition, one that lasts a few hours at most, to a lifetime commitment to one person for the rest of your life. Plus, the same men and women can choose to compete in both men's/women's doubles and mixed doubles. So your tennis analogy is not much better than your carrot analogy.euphgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735904882260895431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572739179315002435.post-42084923329489131902014-05-05T21:18:07.310-04:002014-05-05T21:18:07.310-04:00@ euph

1) Your fir...@ euph - Sorry. RL time intervention.<br /><br />1) Your first point is pure ad hominem and you are usually better than that. Since you push the issue, I have a BSc in Biotechnology and an LLB (never attempted to take bar exams though - not relevant to my career - just a hobby).<br /><br />2) It is "special pleading" the instant that you raise the matter of expanding the definition of "marriage" and then focus the debate exclusively on active homosexuals. Given that we agree that actual reproduction is incidental then I am puzzled why you are not agitating on behalf of Polygamists or Cosanguinous marriage? Maybe you do support such unions, in which case your special pleading is simply dismissive of others, or maybe you don't. Which is it?<br /><br /><br /><br />If infertility was a criterion then I could marry a carrot. This is a silly analogy. Try again: "Mixed Doubles" = form of Lawn Tennis defined as one Male and one Female player on each side. You have a problem with that? <br /><br />Logically you should do. Logically you want it abolished and the competition to de facto become mens doubles. Partnerships that demand gender distinctions are oppressive and intolerant- correct?<br /><br />One can't have "Mens Doubles", "Womens Doubles" and "Mixed Doubles". That is "separate but equal"!! <br /><br />PS: Please don't go off on a Plessy vs. Ferguson lecture.
