Now I'm Against Gay Marriage!

For this assignment, I am to write against same sex marriage. Because I am actually for gay marriage, it will be a challenge to sound genuine fighting against it. But here it goes..

Marriage provides stability for our country, as C.J. Marshall says. Traditionally, marriage is a legal committed relationship between a man and a woman. The reasons why traditions stay alive is because they are valuable and beneficial to society. Marriage needs to stay a tradition, and not transform into something between two men or two woman. Fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce, so, by allowing more people to marry, this country is allowing more people to divorce. What is best for society is for the children of our nation to be raised efficiently. To be raised correctly, a child needs a mother and a father. Children need to know the masculine and female aspects. They need a father to take them out to play soccer, and a mother to teach them how to cook. It has been that way for over 200 years, and it shall stay that way. Like Santorum stated in his interview, if anyone is allowed to get married, it looses it's special meaning. If everyone had a Ferrari, the sports car wouldn't be such a luxury, but because not everyone can own a Ferrari, it is special when you do. A child's beliefs are created by what goes on in the household. If there are two women raising the child, the child will not have a stable relationship with men. Interacting with the opposite gender is a big part of life, and if a child doesn't learn that at home, he won't learn it at all. Sanotrum even says, "There are volumes of evidence showing that if little girls don't have a father, it impacts their ability as adults to bond with men in healthy relationships." In the Bible, it says God created Adam and Eve. He created one man and one woman, not two men or two women. God created Adam and Eve so they would marry and reproduce. Marriage is the longest standing social institution; it was created for man and woman. Same sex marriage would ruin marriage for everyone and it cannot be legalized.

Same Sex Marriage- FOR!!

I'm going to be writing for gay marriage. I'm going to start off with the argument, we cant say that marriage is only for having children because there are couples that don't have children. It's everyones choice if they want to have kids, let alone can have kids. The government shouldn't be allowed to say that gays cant get married because they can't have kids, some heterosexual married couples can't have kids either. Im also going to talk about the bible, and how it has some crazy things it says. I will also go into how the government really shouldn't have this much control and say into this. If you have any other ideas let me know!

SAME SEX marriage is wrong

Our nation seems to cynically have these routine hurdles nearly every decade. While for so long it was the progression of civil rights for colored people, it has continuously been the push for the right for same sex marriage in the modern scene. What it comes down to, is that the government should have no say in who and how you spend your life with however it is our job to make it apparent that for our kids and our society to continue to profit in a feasible manner we need marriage to be the bind between a man and a woman.

Same sex marriage does nothing for anyone. Basically it is a sin creator for the rest of society, making us all think that we can prance gayly around doing whatever we want at any given time. Is that how we should bring up our kids? In an environment where everything is a free for all and suddenly our working status is diminished? Same sex marriage is against nature, against the cycle of life and against the word of the lord.

However the biggest argument I will use to defend my argument being against gay marriage is that simply it has nothing to do with the state anyways. Although their are benefits coming from it in each state why is that state having to do with it. I will use the libertarian case against gay marriage to logically back it up however will also use santorum's case to talk about how it is not okay for a family and society.

this is weird considering its against. please give ideas.

i believe " honestly"in limited government: so the fact that it should not be monitored

freedom of choice

Against same-sex marriage

I'm not sure where I am going to start with this because it is a very different view for me but here it goes. Same-sex marriage should continue to be illegal for many different reasons. In every culture throughout history, marriage has been between a man and a woman, and is essentially oriented to, the generation of children. Not only is it completely against tradition and marriage is a traditional ceremony, but it is it is also sacred. The Bible, a book that many people follow, forbids same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage has never been allowed and should not be allowed in the future.

Blink

Blink, by: Malcolm Galdwell
The unconscious mind is something we can all relate to, because we all have one and with that we all have first impressions. Malcolm Galdwell author of Blink does an incredible job of explaining through examples and intriguing stories just how powerful our unconscious mind and split second decision-making can be. We as humans think we need so much time to make wise decisions so we know we are to be right, but are we fooled? Does this time really just distract us from what is right in front of us and take us away from the correct decision we are able to make in the blink of an eye? “The power of thinking without thinking” Galdwell says over and over. Malcolm takes psychology to a different level in this book while using prime examples and stories from the past and present to back up his ideas. One thing I really enjoyed about this book is that is never gets old or boring; There is always something that will captivate you in every section.
Intuition is a funny thing, I mean where does it come from and how do we just know? Intuition can be very powerful, Galdwell in the beginning of the book gives an example of this, he talks about Greek sculpture and judging whether on not certain statues are real, and not forges so teams of experts on statues and analysts spent months researching the statue and concluding is was legit, while a handful of art historians followed there intuition or gut feeling and just knew that it was a forge, the art historians were correct. Throughout the entire book “thin slicing” is discussed, what this means is that our unconscious takes in a lot of information and is able to find patterns in behaviors or situations in a very shorth amount of time. Galdwell towards the end of the book say that this book in not a plan for action, for people wanting to change or apply his theories into their lives. It’s written Like a guidebook. Blink is not a guidebook but more exploring the unconscious mind, taking a different approach from Freud. He explored the wonders of the unconscious mind piecing it together and giving examples of phenomena’s of the unconscious mind.
I really enjoyed this book because I really enjoy psychology, human behavior interests me, and I always want to learn more. This book did exactly that, it teaches you a lot about what we think we know, and what we really know. As I would read, I had a lot of ah haa moments, where something Galdwell would say would just click, and I could relate instantly. Its reads fast, and never gets old, there are delightful stories throughout the book showing a range of thin slicing, from speed dating, to food experts. If you are interested in psychology you will enjoy this read, it keeps you engaged from start to finish, leaving you with lots to ponder!

gay people are great.

My opinion on Gay Marriage... It’s hard to feel strongly about an issue when it does not affect your everyday life. That’s how I feel about gay marriage. So many people have extreme opinions, from one side of the spectrum to the other, about why or why not gay marriage should be legal, but I think that if the issue does not directly affect a person, they should not have such an opinion. The same is true for opinionate men on abortions (but I won’t get into that). However, although I do not feel strongly about gay marriage, I feel strongly about intolerance and discrimination, and that is the main issue here. I am going to write my paper basically supporting gay marriage, because I do not see why people have a problem with it. As of March 1^st, 2012, gay marriage has already been legalized in eight states. Yet 30 states ban gay marriage. I feel that this violates the 10^th amendment protection from state to state clause because if a couple were to get married in say Connecticut, would they be considered criminals in another state? It makes no sense. Also, we have banned discrimination in nearly all forms, from slavery to sexism, yet homosexuals still face intolerance in their daily lives. Who are we to violate the rights of human beings just like ourselves, because of something as miniscule as sexual preference? As for the argument that claims allowing gay marriage will open a door to marriages between species, that is pure absurdity. They could define marriage as a bond between two people and not have to worry about that strange concern. Another strong belief I have is that homosexuality is not a matter of choice. This is similar to racism- why should blacks be discriminated against when they were born into their race? Lots of gay people know they are gay from a very early age, and many try to fight it or hide it for as long as they can. This is not their fault, yet society teaches that these people are wrong and weird and must conform to the majority. On a more positive note, gay marriage can help the economy. More couples will want to adopt children, receive marital benefits, and even live longer (studies show that married couples have lengthened life spans). Many are against gay marriage because of the impossible reproductive aspect. Well, first of all the Earth already has too many people living on it so people should not be worried about that, and second doesn’t that mean that infertile couples should not be allowed to marry? Also, I found this cool fact online: Massachusetts, which became the first state to legalize gay marriage in 2004, had the lowest divorce rate in the country in 2008. I mean until 1967 interracial marriage was illegal, and now doesn’t that sound completely ridiculous? It’s only a matter of time until the leaders of our nation are forced to legalize gay marriage, but I say the sooner the better – we are treating these people unconstitutionally!

Go Gay Marriage!

To me, gay marriage is not a big deal. What IS a big deal is that fact that people are against it. When a child is born, love comes naturally. We are all given the right to love and to be loved. In "An Argument Against Same-Sex Marriage: An Interview with Rick Santorum", he believes that gay marriage does not benefit society at all; but does heterosexual marriage contribute to society? The divorce rate is approximately 50%, causing families to split up. Professor Robert George thinks that sexual activity is not a reason to marry. For many lovers, sex is not just an activity, it creates intimacy. He also believes that homosexual couples should not have the right to marry because they cannot produce a child. Obviously, there are two of the same sex organs, but creating a child is only a part of marriage. There are many heterosexual couples who choose not to have children. A homosexual couple is just as capable of raising a child than a "traditional" couple. George also compared gay relationships to tennis. I honestly don't know what he was thinking, but that is a huge insult to gay people and people who support gay marriage. Anyone can love, and just because they cannot produce a child does not mean they aren't serious. Being a homosexual is not a mental illness, it is something a persona is born with. According to Charles Roselli of the University of Medicine in Portland, Oregon, there has been some evidence of genes that can contribute to homosexuality. Legalizing gay marriage is not just about everyone having equal marriage rights. Once a person is married, they can share health care benefits, and they have a more stable income. The article, "The Libertarian Case Against Gay Marriage," provides statistics showing that gay couples are more likely to be educated, and twice as likely to have a higher individual/household income. Gay marriage won't corrupt society, as it doesn't really affect heterosexuals. Being gay is something a person can't control, therefore, it needs to be legalized.
