Well that's fairly obvious - a traditional sense of decency can only be propagated by a decent sense of tradition?
Is marriage a decent act? |
I'd say it's dece. Not great. Dece. It's a fairly archaic form of union, not necessarily reflecting the values of today's society. Better question: is society decent? :wtf: |

It was. It's been bastardized. But that still doesn't take away from what it's supposed to be mean: that is, a union between a man and a woman that is tied by love, trust, and willingness to compromise with one another. The operative words (in this case), of course, being "man" and "woman". |

So you think they are inhumane and below heterosexuals?
Hell, we might as well just kill them all, since they're so unnatural and going to degrade the moral fabric of our world. |
Why should we kill them all? 
I believe we ought to tolerate homosexual partnerships. |

| Why? Because they're unnatural. They're not decent. They're degrading society's moral standards. Why should we merely tolerate something that is wrong? We have to get rid of them. They're not right. |

PKC, Domesticated, Halcyon or SystemJ coming hither with their vehement censure. |
We should form some sort of justice league.

Call this vehement censure, but surely the operative words are "love", "trust" and "willingness to compromise"? They sound like the parts of that statement that go towards a decent society. |

Which is why I qualified the statement for the nonce. |

Not really. I'm actually a firm supporter of gay marriage. You're the one who thinks they're unnatural and wrong. |

To be fair to the guy, there's a difference between thinking something is unnatural and wanting to destroy it. There's no need to paint him as genocidal. |
