That was a poor attempt at paraphrasing, mainly because when you copied and pasted you left in the "I haven't seen much of a significant argument against gay marriage" rather than replacing the word "against" with "for". Also when adressing the common arguements for gay marriage rather than quote the actual agruements you just applied your arguement which in turn, failed miserably.

Also, what Sam said, including the diagnosis of dementia praecox.

Let's all guess which group will be next to try and horn in on marriage: bisexuals (one wife, one husband); pedophiles (NAMBLA; allegedly, Michael Jackson); people that love animals; and the list could go on and on...

The argument is that it doesn't hurt anybody. Maybe not physically, but the fabric of society will be affected in a negative way.
Ugh. That comment nearly turned my stomach. Comparing homosexuals to child and animal rapists should warrant an RO. Race hate-speech would warrant it, so why not this?

:con: What's this about, again? Until I realised that you'd just quoted something twice I thought you were having a schizophrenic episode. Then I still didn't understand what your point was.
The first paragraph is just turning the quoted argument the other way to show the stupidity of the argument. Unfortunately, I seem to have suffered a bit of temporary intellectual osmosis when reading it, so, as Tapey noted, I forgot to change "against" to "for". Also, I simplified it as much as possible to match the stupidity of the original.

I've fixed the "against"/"in favor of"

The second paragraph is my real reply.

Um... exactly the same as the arguments in favour of straight marriage.

The most common ones I have seen are 1) I want to,

Sounds good enough to me until you can give me a concrete example of how it harms others.

or 2) it's not against my religion.

That's not an argument in favour of gay marriage.

The least these people should have is legal standing. .... It seems, from history, that freedom is a common method to justify hate and lawlessness.

This has what to do with gay marriage, again?

Your argument is based solely on emotion and on antireligious bigotry.

I present you with this trophy, to commemorate the dumbest f***ing thing that has yet been said in this thread. Gays only want to marry to piss off Christians? What the hell?

"The least these people should have is legal standing"??? Since when do we justify depriving anyone of their just and rightful political standing simply because their views differ? Just because you disagree with their reasons doesn't give you the right to discount the rights of any lawful citizen. Much as you may dislike the fact that your views aren't the only ones in the world, get over it. Other people exist. There is only one true reality, and we're all in it.

This is the old 'Opinion polls say it should be banned so it should be banned' argument, isn't it? (Is it, by the way? I'm really not sure. Next time you're going to try turning someone's argument against them even though their argument is completely the opposite of yours, don't.) I thought we were past this argument when homosexuality was legalised in the first place. If it doesn't affect anyone, the state has no business saying who can do it and who can't.

It's really nice to know that when I can't get here there's someone smart to make the points I would have raised. It's great when you read a post and think 'omg how long has this rubbish been unreplied to?' and then suddenly...oh wait, it has! It's just nice to know.

One question tho...

That's exactly why I stopped posting here, the uncanny amount of register, troll, leave that seems to be going on here as opposed to your normal thread.

In fact, I may even be done lurking on this one. It seems to have run its course.

some people just don't want to understand that its important(the fact that you're married) to some people and it makes them happy

if they don't want it even if it makes people happy,then they'll never accept an argument
