A friend of mine posted this else where and I thought I'd share. Made me laugh. I'm against prop 8 btw. I'll add my own comments to this after the **
10 Arguments in favor of prop 8
1) Being gay is not natural.
--And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts... **and flying.... humans are ment to fly, travel to the moon, dive the depths of the sea and blow things up with nukes...
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
--In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
--People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all;
--Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. ** and women can't vote...
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed;
--And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed. **and Pamela Andersons 5 weddings to Kid Rock.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
--So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our populatio isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children. **and adoption is way wrong!
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children,
--Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight children. *this goes back to the 'will encourage people to be gay' point.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
--In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. (Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays?) **there is a book out there that talks about how the bible does NOT state that being gay is wrong.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
--Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
--Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
Vote NO on Prop 8. Love makes a marrage.
