That beat you struggle with, it's the collective head pounding on a wall.

You're singing along?

Boots'n'cats'n'boots'n'cats.

I'm arguing against what others say. That's what people compare to. Arip's post was VERY general and not specific to marriage in any sense imaginable.

So, you agree that there is no comparison between US Black civil rights and homosexual civil rights?
That's a start..

So, now let's compare SSM laws vs miscegenation. There is no comparison here as well. The only similarities are the fundamental necessities that make them discrimination, but the type of discrimination and the reasons are completely different.

As I said, miscegenation is an attack on restrictions adhering to the fundamental union of marriage (man and a woman) to prevent mixed children and preserve a specific "pure" race (a mentality that is still blatant in East Asia). Furthermore, it wasn't and still isn't a common practice ( Black/white marriages) in comparison to other marriage percentages. Most people tend to marry people of their own race.

While SSM is an attack on redefining the fundamental union of marriage (man and a woman). When and if appealed, it will be taken advantage by a large percentage of same sex couples as it is the primary concern.

It goes back to my previous statement, if "B" is closer to "A" than "C" and "C" is close to "A", then how is "C" not close to "B"?

if "B" is closer to "A" than "C" and "C" is close to "A", then how is "C" not close to "B"?



So, if Obamacare gets approved, then obviously everyone must agree with it and it's absolute. If abortion becomes illegal AGAIN, the obviously abortion is evil and everyone will cave in and support it, because deep down inside, they also believe it.

According to your logic, SSM shouldn't be recognized because currently the government doesn't recognize it. They made their decision, so why are you fighting? It's not "right" until the court agrees with you? So, when the tables are turned will you believe the same or will you think that it's now "absolute"?

If this nation weren't so divided on issues then you might would have had a point.

B isn't closer to A than C in your example. Unless you're in Bizarro world.

Looking in from the outside it's wonderful the way so many Americans are still subconsciously racist. Especially so many African Americans, who seem to like to ghettoise themselves. Watching TV with black only performers. Watching/listening to black only musicians. Deriding other blacks who swim in the mainstream culture, or who are high achievers in areas outside a narrow band of "acceptable" black fields of activity. And not looking outside their own race for romance.

In Australia there are a heck of a lot of whites. But of all our many many minorities, the majority of them wind up in relationships outside their own ethnic/racial/subculture/religious group. Including getting into relationships with whites, or with ethnics that are their "enemies" back in the "home country". A lot of first generation migrants are married-in. Second generation Australians who come from insular ethnicities and who have been sent to private religious schools also tend to marry in. But as soon as a child gets sent to a non-religious, or state school, the whole marrying-in thing flies out the window, except for coincidental proximity occurrences.

I'm not saying Australia is free of racism, because we're not. A lot of us are very racist. But we seem to be doing a lot better on the issues of no-go zones, and cross-race relationships and families. I seem to remember a question on our census that asks: "list up to 5 of your national heritages." Most of us have grandparents that span wildly diverse nationalities or national heritages. Even I, who is white as white can be, got to pick and choose amongst my most relevant rival Western European and British heritages.

There's a reason why you didn't reply to my second example which also took into account that interpretation of the "B is closer to A than C".
