I don't think anyone has been intolerant of any beliefs except for those that either poorly thought out or poorly articulated. I still have yet to see someone enter a good argument against same sex marriage.

In order to properly understand marriage and be able to formulate an opinion AGAINST same sex marriage, you must first understand the whole reason why for century's people have got married. Unless the definition of marriage is changing this generation (which I believe it is) (which leads into my theory).

This all goes into my huge theory, that is totally bang on, about how white people are not getting married, thus there is fewer white children being born. Where as the muslims are populating at a rapid pace and are united, ehh screw it. Once you get to my level of understanding, and understand how the world works now, has worked for century's, and will continue to work, my theory is way to complex for CP.

People will deny what is happening until the very end, and then breathe a collective "shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit".

Also, 500 years in the lifespan of the earth as we know,is pretty soon.

except there are no shades of gray. if you are against gay marriage, which won't impact your personal life whatsoever, then you are a person that feels the need to control how others live their lives, and as such are an asshat

Yeah, you're definitely on another level.

EDIT: Actually it sounds like your theory, at the very core, is a bunch of white supremacist fear-mongering.

how is prejudice against gays and gay marriage any different than racial segregation of a few decades ago? if this were 1960, would you be defending bigots who believe that black people shouldn't be allowed in white establishments?

So white = not muslim = good and more muslims = bad because of gay marriage? Did I get it right?

Oh come on.

I agree that gay marriage should be legalized but people like you are the reason those that 'disagree' become even firmer in their opinion.

again this goes back to the fact that no one has ever provided a rational reason why gay marriage should be illegal. if you are against it, it's bigotry, plain and simple

You just don't get it. Because gay people are allowed to get married, white people will stop breeding and be overrun by the baby-making muslim machines. You idiot.

And that justifies you calling people asshats?

I'd think that a well thought out explanation as to why gay marriage should be legal would go a lot further than your stupid rants about bigots and asshats.

The world isn't black and white, and since we live in a free country people will have different opinions. In order to influence those opinions you might want to NOT be rude.

My post was not about my opinion of gay marriage but rather about the intolerance that you, and others in this thread, have demonstrated because you feel those who do not agree with gay marriage are intolerant.

If this were 2060, would you be defending bigots who believe that married people shouldn't be allowed to marry other people (i.e. polygamy)? After all polygamy doesn't affect your life in any way, does it?

You didn't even read my post. I have yet to see anyone but Iowa refute my argument.
