The Great Majority Opposes The Word "Marriage" for SS-Couples[W:214]

Re: The Great Majority Opposes The Word "Marriage" for SS-Couples

The bottom line remains, that "marriage" means "between a man and a woman as husband and wife", no matter how many statute misuses of the word "marriage" occur.

There has been plenty of words whose definitions/meanings that have changed of the course of time. Marriage is simply another one of those words. The word "marriage" isn't set in stone, we have to power to change its definition. Whether or not we as a society want to or not is a completely different argument.

Oh, and this is simply your personal opinion. Nothing more.
 
Re: The Great Majority Opposes The Word "Marriage" for SS-Couples

that wouldnt be solving the problem that would be giving into bigotry and discrimination.

why change the name, legal marriage has nothing to do with religious marriage so there's no need. TO salve the problem you just grant equal rights.

WHat terms did we change for minority rights, womens rights and interracial marriage.

I actually agree completely.

Just poking the trolls.
 
Re: The Great Majority Opposes The Word "Marriage" for SS-Couples

Oh it just keeps getting better.

The term "definitive propriety" keeps popping up.

Its user(s) apparently believe it means "propriety in regards to the definition of words"

Unfortunately for those using this term, "definitive" doesn't mean what they think that it means.

It is an adjective. A "describing" word that modifies "propriety".

The term "defintive propriety" means "the essence of propriety". "Definitive" has NOTHING to do with definition of words, unless one is referring to a "definitive definition".

The proper term would be "definitional propriety".

So all those using "definitive propriety" to defend the word "marriage" are raping the hell put of the definition of "definitive".

And here I didn't think the argument could get any more stupid.

But self pwnage is always the best pwnage.
 
Re: The Great Majority Opposes The Word "Marriage" for SS-Couples

False, always.

It may be used or misused in statutes, but that in no way changes the time-honored true meaning of the word.

By your false assertion, the words "the", "and", "of", "boundaries", "ceremony" can be owned and thus their meaning changed simply by being included in statutes, which is, obviously, false.

Statutes have the power to set down premises about whch a violation will result in consequences.

But that's all.

Statutes have no power to change the foundational true meaning of a word with respect to, in this case, its global human culture true meaning.

"Marriage" remains "between a man and a woman as husband and wife", no matter what pockets of misuse fantasize otherwise, whether those misuses be found within statutes or without.

This is obviously so, something that surprises me you don't seem to get.

You are certainly entitled to that opinion. But it is nothing more than just that, no matter how much you insist, the meaning of the word includes same sex couples now.

Your OP was a fabrication and a lie because 54% of the population supports same sex marriage.

It doesn't "keep coming up." One guy keeps spamming the meaningless term.

Even going by what he thinks he's saying, it's complete gibberish. The concept is ridiculous on its face. Language is ever-evolving. Why, Ontologuy, you don't have a right to own guns in this country. The 2nd amendment says you have a right to bear arms. Arms have always been the things attached to your shoulders. By definitive propriety....

I googled this pseudointellectual crap to see if Ontologuy had learned this meaningless catchphrase from someone. It pretty much only appears in other political forums, sometimes with the same "dog show" argument repeated a dozen times. So, yeah, he invented the concept it seems, and stubbornly refuses to see its foolishness.
