Unfortunately that statement never seems to be practically upheld. If only the laws were devised and implemented by the society itself and not poor representatives (politicians) of that society.

That was sarcastic.

It's so great to see how much you appreciate knowing me. I can't unblock you right now since my Internet is screwing me around and the account/privacy settings pages will not load correctly.

On facebook, you mean?

Researching.

Telepathically love jesus. HA!

I'm quite irreligious myself, but I can see how interpretation of passages from the Bible can be great things to model your morals, actions and life upon. It can foster some 'nice' core values in those who seek to treat others with respect and act kindly to others. If someone chooses to accept...

I think we should come to the consensus that we're damned and as a result, be treated in the same way because of this equal damnation. Makes things easy.

I was about to describe that as altruistic, until I understood it properly. It's better than hating on everyone for no apparent reason.

I like the image, Riproot. It's perfect.

The reason I was opposed to you saying 'chemical imbalance' is because the word imbalance implies that the heterosexual chemical composition of the mind is the correct formulation - that's pretty narrow-minded of you. I have no idea if a homosexual attraction involves chemical interactions...

Okay. I simply see you're strongly against homosexuality in its entirety since you perceive it as a chemical imbalance. I don't see how you couldn't call yourself homophobic. Edit: It's not like being homosexual has any social, economic or legal benefits!

In saying that, you're contradicting yourself straight away. A civil union =/= marriage and it pertains that different groups should be treated and handled in separate ways by the law and by society. This concept in itself does not propagate equality or equal rights.

I don't believe giving gays the right to marry will encourage homosexuality - it's not a trend that comes and goes. Giving gays the right to marry will lessen the disparity between homosexual and heterosexual rights in Australia.

Democratic and utilitarian (to an extent), I like it.

This is true. I'm at contention with myself regarding the issue as a whole, but my heart says that illegal drugs should remain illegal. My head, however, as left wing as possible says that people should be allowed to do what they want as long as it doesn't harm others. I suppose I support the...

Homosexuality still has its opposition, stigmatism and phobias from those who oppose it. This is the unfortunate truth.

I think MP Penny Wong put it quite simply (paraphrasing). If this issue were regarding those of a different ethnicity, culture or gender there would be no difference of opinion; those who did oppose giving equal rights to the aforementioned groups would be branded racists and bigots. I...

This. Pretty sure I put it quite simply, sorry otherwise for being convoluted in anyway.
