In any case, I have booked a trip North so I can escape into the jungles of Thailand if needed. You got any backup plan?

I know controversial statuses are typically posted just to be controversial, but I want to offer my unreligious liberal opinion as to why same-sex marriage does not represent good social policy
Now the typical argument is that same sex marriage breaks the covenant of marriage being between a man and a women. This is overshadowed by the barrage of egalitarian, anti-discriminatory viewpoints of the vast majority of people. And rightfully so, the covenant of marriage deserves to be at the mercy of our fast-paced changing society as much as any other law or belief. What isn't being addressed is the longer-term social consequences. My biggest problem with same sex marriage is that it's just a short term solution to a long term problem. This long-term problem is the right for children to be raised in healthy environments promoted by diverse, nourishing parents. Now I know most of you are bursting at the seams with knowledge of studies proving that children being raised by same sex couples are equally if not more than developmentally healthy than their counterparts raised under heterosexual couples. These studies are mostly true, but the homosexual parents that have defied society in the past and raised these children represent the best for homosexual parents and show good parenting values as their relationships are equally healthy and are under higher expectation from society. However, as marriage equality becomes more accepted, the larger true representation of homosexual couples will come into being, and the deficit created by a child not being properly given the opportunity to be raised by parents of both genders will be realized as homosexual couples that are less-then-fit to raise children take advantage of their new rights. Obviously, there are heterosexual couples unfit to raise children, but homosexual couples are inherently flawed. The behavioral development of a child is too deeply rooted in his/her biological environment and the healthy development of children under same sex couples peaked in it's beginning, and will decline to the point where it is less than that of heterosexual couples in the coming decades. Obviously, I can't prove this future trend, and it's simply my opinion that it will happen, but I want you to think about this. These same sex couples can and will pass their sexual preference to their children (obviously these children are adopted or surrogate, but sexual preference is both environmental and genetic). This will create generations of children that are successively raised by homosexual couples. These children will display the full force of developmental degeneration compounded by multiple same sex couples. These trends can even be split by gender, as same sex parents will be able to adopt and prefer children of the same sex. Biologically, these individuals will exhibit less Darwinian fitness from an environmental perspective as 3.5 billion years of evolution are defied. Essentially, we are creating a social underclass in the future. 'Underclass' meaning significantly different from the usual population. We do have children being produced from atypical couples all the time, from socioeconomic differences to ethnic. What I'm saying is the same-sex one is too fundamentally and biologically different to be universally accepted, and it can be inherited, unlike being raised by a single parent. Sure, it's easy to accept now, but as time progresses atypical homosexuals will be increasingly less interactive with their homogeneous yet heterosexual counterparts, something I do not believe we are prepared to accept as a society. You could say my assumptions are based off of prejudice, buy I have no problems with homosexuals or homosexual relationships, I just don't think we're ready to transcend the marriage barrier. As we gain marriage equality, we're really losing long term family egalitarianism. That is why as a liberal, I am opposed to same-sex marriage.

Will, may I offer you a choice of our lovliest traps, Seitsuki and Flavory.
Each of them is cuddlesome and adorable, albeit the former is an aggressive tsundere while the other is a passive kuudere. Bidding for them has yet to start. Sume-nee is a wealthy and powerful contender so prepare your money quick, and make it payable ASAP to my swiss bank account.

Greater precision would have been dangerous. What was required in a Party member was an outlook similar to that of the ancient Hebrew who knew, without knowing much else, that all nations other than his own worshipped 'false gods'. He did not need to know that these gods were called Baal, Osiris, Moloch, Ashtaroth, and the like: probably the less he knew about them the better for his orthodoxy. tl;dr boys and girls are good as is. |
