| 1297560 | 2012-08-29 02:50:00 | What is a marriage? A ceremony where 2 people declare they intent to live with each other forever. Not that it always works out like that. It's becoming an extinct quaint ritual....why even bother? True, however you've just summed up a Civil Union, which they already have. And yeah, you're right, marriages have a > 50% divorce rate in New Zealand, and I believe that statistic is even marginally higher in the church. Finally, nobody but the individual priest who fiddles with little catholic boys actually says that what those priests are doing is OK. They should be shot if you ask me. |

It's not like two men or women getting married is going to cause all people who have 'traditional' marriages to drop dead overnight or anything. True, but there is always somebody trying to tell everybody that they are right. |

You're saying some animals engage in homosexual behaviour, and that it's natural and should be allowed. I'm saying that some animals engage in cannibalistic behaviour, and that it's natural and following your reasoning should be allowed. True, but there is always somebody trying to tell everybody that they are right. Yup. Pretty much every single argument I've seen can be used to promote it can also be used against it. Similarly most of those against it have quite specific arguments relating to a religion that most of the country doesn't identify with. It's a great big circle, really... |

I'm saying that some animals engage in cannibalistic behaviour, and that it's natural and following your reasoning should be allowed. Not all animals are cannibals but all of them have some sort of reproduction system, which is the main point of comparison here. All comes down to DNA ;) |
