Gay Marriages

[Deviance]

Not ALL hedonistic acts are non-functional. Some aren't and some are. It's just that homosexuality happens to be one of those things.

[loseyourname]

There you go. You answered my question. You judge acts that are both hedonistic and non-functional as immoral. Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Was that really so hard to do?

[Crimson Glow]

NO that is not what it is. Wrong. To condemn means to DECLARE to be GUILTY or unfit for USE.
"All I mean by condemn is that you judge it as immoral."
Yes thank you, welcome to the world of debating. We each choose either a side or back up our points. I cannot answer your open-ended questions with just one simple "yes" or "no." I just told you BECAUSE I AM forbiding homosexuality I am giving THOSE (observe posts) reasons as to why I am.

con·demn [ kən dém ] (past con·demned, past participle con·demned, present participle con·demn·ing, 3rd person present singular con·demns)

transitive verb

1. give somebody a legal sentence: to make a judicial pronouncement stating what punishment has been imposed on a person found guilty of a crime, especially in the case of a heavy penalty or a death sentence


2. consider somebody guilty: to judge that a person or thing is to blame for something


3. pronounce something or somebody as bad: to state that something or somebody is in some way wrong or unacceptable

There's usually more than one definition for a word.

Are you judging any act that fits (insert criterion here) as immoral? Is not an open-ended question. It is a very simple yes or no question. Forget it though. If I can't even establish what your position is, then I can't discuss it. It isn't that important.

Well your trivial trivia isn't either. Just stick to moderatoring the forums now as I said. If you cannot see by now that the ONLY POSITION that I TAKE IS FORBIDING IT and that I WAS ONLY SEEKING TO EXPLAIN homosexuality by just supporting my points, then we have no further reasons to elaborate. I do not know how much more I can tell you that and you will never accept that because you have an already fixed pre-judged notion in your head which never budges unless it self-serves your own being strictly.

Unfortunately dictionary.com will not absolve you of your ineptitude of the subject. The definition I gave was clear and crisp as far as making my point is concerned and if you had known better you would realize that there are a variety of definitions for that one word. In a literal sense yes it is as that of which you showed. But the way Loser used it was in a totally different context. No one here was saying they would be gay or otherwise or hate them for being who they are. We were simply discussing its definition and explaining the reasons as to why it is being handled the way it is.

[Deviance]

JUDGE and DECLARE are different words with pretty much different meanings.

[Deviance]

I think the reason why we are at loggerheads is due to the fact that there seems to be a misunderstanding of semantics.

You tell me. Those outlandish accusations and fallacies are what drove most in here to complicate this more than it already is. I told you from the start I forbid it for those reasons and the fact that is it overly self-beneficial to one side and only one side without a purpose. You just kept looking for loop holes and resorted to "why do you hate them?" Then that drifted to "why condemn their acts and not all you are not fair."

Gay marriage kills ponies, and I'm not gonna stand for it.
