Quote:Traditional western marriage: one man, one woman for life

 

Progressive western marriage: one man, one woman until one decides it's over

 

Today's western marriage: Two Xs until one decides it's over

 

Tomorrow? Who knows, but whatever it is will contribute to an ever declining emphasis on the primacy of marriage and the nuclear family to western civilization.

 

In the meantime, 70% of African American children are born out of wedlock and the incarceration rates from a lack of fathers is a direct result. This is a natural downstream effect of the push to end the sanctity of the marriage institution and replace it with a mere legal relationship. The results we see all around us, and even the liberal Democrats told us it would be this way. There's a price to pay for destroying the institution that made your society great, and now we get to reap the harvest.

 

But, "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Western Civ has got to go!"

 

First of all, I like Progressive western marriage (as you define it) a LOT better than what you call Tradional western marriage.   In what you call a Traditional western marriage, no matter how bad things get, you cannot leave the marriage?   That sucks. 

 

Secondly, I cannot see how allowing more people to get married would contribute to "an ever declining emphasis on the primacy of marriage and the nuclear family to western civilization."    Allowing homosexuals to get married has no effect on your marriage or my marriage, and it would have no effect on anyone's "nuclear family."  

 

Thirdly, how in heck does allowing more people to get married cause more black babies to be born out of wedlock?   Homosexuals have nothing to do with babies being born out of wedlock.   They cannot have babies.  

 

And as far as your lament for the demise of western civilization, civilization evolves.   It has always evolved.   Most of the time, it has evolved for the better.   If you really don't want civilization to EVER change, then you don't ever want things to get BETTER.   You just want them to stay the same.  

 

This is just another example of why gay marriage proponents are winning this argument.   There are no compelling reasons to oppose it.  Just a bunch of empty rhetoric about how we are destroying western civilization.    Well, they made the same arguments about a host of societal advancements, and it didn't work.   You cannot stop the march of progress.
