What's JazzFanz's stance on Marriage Equality?

[Stoked]

Well, if I knew I had premium options like that I might decide to be gay.

Why can't you swing for both teams? It does not have to be one or the other. Welcome to 2012.

 

[PearlWatson]

Then why distinguish between the two?

Because how marriage is defined matters to a whole crapton of "we the people."

So your hang up is with a definition? Not sure I'm understanding what you're saying here.

Yes, how words are defined matters, as evidenced on Jazzfanz everyday.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Yes, how words are defined matters, as evidenced on Jazzfanz everyday.

Even if it's a twisted definition of said word?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Where'd Xsy go? This thread became a real yawner. No offense to the offenders.

 

[PearlWatson]

Even if it's a twisted definition of said word?

Depends on the definition of twisted I guess.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Depends on the definition of twisted I guess.

Of course it does.





In any case, you're of the belief that the state should concern itself with the symbolic meaning of words?

 

[bigb]

Okay. To me, it's not a hang up at all, but I'm okay if it is with you.

 

[bigb]

Nice.

 

[PearlWatson]

Of course it does.

I said there is a crap ton of "we the people" who care about the symbolic meaning of words, and they have decided to vote to protect that meaning over and over again.

Just like when a crapton thought marraige meant a relationship between two people of the same race, and voted that way over and over again?

People can believe all they want, but bringing the government into it means you're having the state get involved.

I don't think they put that marriage amendment to a vote. Racist Darwiniacs just started legislating it to protect the aryan gene pool.

Technically, you said 'crapton.'

 

[PearlWatson]

Redundant.

 

[Beantown]

Then why distinguish between the two?

Because the relationships are still different, but yet their rights should be equal.

 

[Stoked]

Redundant.

Not always. They could mean goverment as federal and not state.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Redundant.

Uh...no? Using synonyms is redundant? Should I have used a pronoun intead?

"but bringing the government into it means you're having it get involved."

Maybe reverse it?

"but bringing the state into it means you're having the government get involved."

Maybe use state and pronoun?

"but bringing the state into it means you're having it get involved."

It was brought in/got involved hundreds of years ago before Lincoln was even a Republican (<---no relation to today's meaning according to you)
