Re: my solution to the gay marriage argument
[ QUOTE ]
Why do you think you should get a break for having children. You ALREADY are. My taxes pay for schools that your children attend whether or not I have any children. One could argue that the more kids you have, the more you should be taxed. [/ QUOTE ] Barking up the wrong tree there as well. I send my kids to a private school because I live in Milwaukee where the government run district is an absolute disaster. 60% dropout rates, 7th graders who can't read at a 2nd grade level or write .25 as a fraction, etc etc etc. And yet, I own my home and pay my absurdly high property taxes so the public school system can continue to produce an inferior product year after year. You're preaching to the choir here.

Why not get rid of marriage, unions, tax-breaks for cohabitation altogether? natedogg [/ QUOTE ] That would be ok. How about regarding the resolution of community property issues? I suppose people could just enter into specific contracts with each other if they decide to share the same household and decide to act as a "team" in acquiring wealth and such.

Re: my solution to the gay marriage argument
Society has a big stake in reproductively viable family formation. Just investigate the social (in)security Ponzi scheme demographics if you doubt this. There's every reason to reward future baby citizens and the adults that do the breeding. Gays are free riders and deserve nothing. These are simple princilpes that are historically obvious over all of civilization.
If you're interested in liberalized gay marriage laws and falling birth rates, investigate Holland over the past 25 years.

[/ QUOTE ] This suffers from the EXACT SAME failure of imagination and myopia as your "atheists are breeding themselves to extinction" argument. Its comical that they are both supported by the same mistaken premise, i.e. that there is only one way to get babies and only one way to make atheists.

[/ QUOTE ] Sounds like you just wanted to inject your view on atheism into another thread, imo. Because, correct me if I'm wrong, but Man + Man != Baby... same applies for women, no? The tax breaks for marriage were implemented to promote families and give breaks for those who are raising our next generation. Are you telling me that a gay couple is just as likely to conjure up a baby as a hetero couple is to have one naturally?

[/ QUOTE ] No, he's saying that the tax incentives don't convert gays to heterosexuality or vice versa. People don't pick sexual partners based on tax incentives.
