Look noobs.
Goats and sheep are irrelevant to this argument and need to be removed from it for the sake of clarity.
Brotherly/sisterly/fatherly/daughterly/motherly/sonly sexual love vastly increases the probability of deformity, disease and mental illness in offspring. Baron y'all should know that especially in your alleged neck of the woods.....
Homosexual love between two consenting adults, on the other hand, leads to absolutely nothing aside from presumabely two sexually sated people.
Heterosexual love between two consenting adults leads two presumably sexually sated people and potentially one or more offspring.
Sex can and does happen between consenting adults whether or not marriage exists as a legal entity. There is no physical reason why two people of the same or different sex should not be married; or not; or have sex; or not. Sex and marriage between close relatives is at least frowned upon and illegal in many countries because of the dangers to any offspring as mentioned above.
FFS!
You'd think so wouldn't you?
But there are some on this board who think that homosexuality is a perversion, so to try to make their point, bring in incest and bestiality.. How those individuals can even consider the point valid is beyond me. For example:
Baron Max said:
Yeah, consent ...I've thought about that some. I'm sure that you think my goat and sheep would probably willingly consent to being killed, cut up and eaten, huh? So from your perspective, being killed without their consent is okay, but caring for them in my airconditioned home, and enjoying sex with them bad? ...and requires their consent?
What does your love for your goats and sheeps have to do with this debate Baron?
So if we changed the laws to make homosexuality illegal, you'd abibe by those laws?
For one thing, even in the dark ages when homosexuality was illegal, few were ever arrested for it. These days.. you know.. when we are supposed to know better.. we know that homosexuality is not a mental illness, and we know it is not perverse and we also know that it is legal.
If I were a homosexual, I'd say 'screw em' and do what I wanted in my bedroom with another consenting woman.
And why are you so against incest? If the siblings are of "legal" age, and it's consenting sex, you should be happy for them. Ditto for a mother and her legal-age son. What's the matter, Bells, is the yuk-factor a little much for you?
Yuk factor? Not really. There are inherent dangers with incest. And as Sniffy kindly pointed out to you, it is basically a matter of inbreeding, which can not only lead to deformities, but also increases the chance of diseases and mental illness.. Genetic defects which may be carried by both parents can also be passed on to the child.. So having sex with your sister or your daughter for example, could result in your offspring being a very sick, possibly deformed child. Or is that a turn on for you?
Because I said it was, that's how!
Does the term 'care factor zero' mean anything to you?
But it's now become more than that! Gays and lesbians are now wanting to force the rest of us to sanction their perverted sex acts by permitting them the right to "marriage". That's not keeping it in the bedroom, that's bringing their perversion right out into the open ......and worse, flaunting it in front of all of us!
How is their being allowed to marry flaunting their sex lives in your face? I don't know what it's like in Texas Baron, but in most other places in the world, people tend to not strip off and start having sex in the middle of the street when they marry. Are you saying that when homosexuals marry they stop having sex in their bedrooms and take it to the street.. so to speak? Do you have proof of this? Because that's a pretty wild claim Baron and unless you can back it up, I will think that you are pulling it out of your arse and will consider you to be dishonest.
So how exactly is being allowed to marry bringing their sex lives out into the open? Do you think that they don't already have sex?:bugeye:
