Because by definition a marriage is the union between a man and a woman. If they change the definition of this word, what other words will they change next? Communication will break down and everything becomes ambiguous. Look at the Tower of Babel. They couldn't communicate with each other and an entire nation of people was scattered.

Don't be selfish. Think of the greater good of society, if you intend to stay with the society you're familiar with.


You're right, if only the Anglo-Saxons had kept their Germanic rule on the English language without ever refining it. If only America had sat back and let the British tax them like crazy and if only Ben Franklin hadn't been such an imposing jackass, then we might not have these stupid things like freedom of speech or religion nowadays.

Yup, tradition's got to have monopoly! We can't allow things to change at all lest we brake society up, and when the inbred sub-human race looks back on where it all went wrong, we could say it was because of a simple word changed in the dictionary.

That's how it starts, young one. Watch and learn. You, too, are a part of history!

Wait, I'm confused. What have words got to do with this? Weren't the people of Babel scattered because they communicated too well and "God" scattered them and changed their languages?

And once they could no longer communicate, what happened? Yea they scattered all right.

But who decides which dictionary is correct? All that dictionaries do is include words used at a high frequency. In newer dictionaries, I have heard, they include stupid as a definition of gay, and that Webster's newest dictionary in particular includes a second definition of marriage as being between members of the same sex.

Found it.

Nainboruto: Property, children, money, and love seem to be the main reasons for marriage. There are many more benefits, but those are the big ones.

I'm sticking with the one I have because it's within my reach.

You have had your so called moment of silence deary. Gee, let's think....go for the old definition in which you have in this dictionary you have...........ooooor the NEW one which you said you'd CHANGE your position if the definition changed itself. Either you are going to be hypocritical....or you're going to change your position. If you are honest, you'll change your position seeing as how the definition has been changed. If you are dishonest...well...everyone might as well leave this thread alone cause this person will never change.

So you only join threads to change people's perspectives to match yours? That's kind of stubborn, don't you think?

Personally I come back because you all bring me so much amusement. Even well after I say one shouldn't take me too seriously people keep coming. Even now I'm sure people will pour in.

Oh yeah, you're definitely going to keep the laughs coming with this place. It's comical, yet tragic.

Not if that's the current definition. But since now the definition includes couples of any races, I'm for interracial marriages.

So if we change the definition of marriage to include gay couples you will be alright with that when it does.

Yes and I already stated this.


Then you're a ******** moron! If we change the definition of marriage the government isn't suddenly going to go to work on the dictionary, hell some states have already done this and so have many parts of Europe, and their societies can still communicate with each other. Your whole thesis is found on a bullshit premise and is completely illogical, and it's been empirically proven over and over again that your logic is bullshit.

I'd rather have a fail logic than to be laughed at. At least I know what I'm doing.

But everybody is laughing at you and you don't know what you're doing because you have a fail logic.

Oh so you're basically a troll. Okay everybody /thread, the guy is just trying to ******** with you, either way he'll disagree with you and keep to his own homophobic views.

It seems like most everyone is outlining the same points. This guys just can't listen to reason. He's making everyone repeat themselves, and he is still not capable of understanding. This means he is either dense, and a*****e, or a dumbass. Either way, we already won, he's fighting a nul arguement now.

And the OP, you should have made it clear IN THE OP, what this thread was REALLY about. Not create a thread who's TOPIC is "Why same sex marriages can never be" then go on to say because the DICTIONARY says so. We even pointed out that homosexuals are, in fact, included IN the dictionary.

So what kind of point are you making now?

I never said homosexuals aren't in the dictionary. I think sometimes you read what you wanna read.


It's laughable how incredibly ironic that statement is.

It's hard to believe people didn't pick up on it since OP, but it's Gaia, so I should've expected that.

And even with my arguments it's pretty clear I'm not homophobic. I said if the definition includes homosexual marriages, I'd defend it as well. How's that homophobic? You selective reader you.
