her's a question.......................how many women do you intimatly know? i do not me in a sexual way either. i mean how many women do you know on a very personal level? how many guys?
i can think of two women i know very intimatly personally, out of the half dozen ill say i do know very well, one is my wife, one is a good friend i helped through a very difficult time just being a good friend and a shoulder to cry on. these two women are damn near polar opposites. anatomically they are the same sure.....psychologically speaking they are as different as men and women. both are quite capable parents and their kids show it. one is a very prissy lady the other will knock you on your rear when and if the mood strikes her, she acts more like one of the guys than one of the girls. infact has very few women friends cause she cant stand the catty BS that goes on in most womens circles.
I don't think it takes an intimate relationship with either sex to determine that women are completely different than men. Obviously no two women are not going to be the same, neither are any two men. That's not what I asked you. You've lived life more than I have and I'm sure you know the difference between a man and a woman, besides anatomically. Men and women think differently, act differently, are interested in different things, have different needs, and most importantly parent differently.
by and large your reasoning makes no sense Outsiders. by your reasoning single parents should not be allowed to keep their kids unless the immediately remarry.
I guess if you think women and men are the same, you could not understand where I'm coming from. You were raised my a man and a woman right? Your personal experience with your mother and father should be enough to understand where I'm coming from. I never said single parents shouldn't be allowed to keep their kids, that's your reasoning. I said that the single parents are lacking just as a gay couple would be lacking.
face it you are letting your personal religious beliefs cloud your judgments. i dont have any beef with your religious beliefs....i know they are extreamly important to some ppl and thats fine. i have no problem. but your trying to force your ideals on a world thats f'ed up and they are not going to work for every situation.
Who's judgments are clouded, you think women and men are the same?! As for forcing my ideals, who's forcing what? Why is it when someone who has faith puts up a good argument, all the sudden I'm trying to force my ideals upon you! Pot, kettle, black?
my best advise to you is to know your beliefs, practice your beliefs but all in all gay marriage is not going to affect you.....it might affect your sensibilities but it will not affect you personally
So you're saying that I should silence myself, and my opinion in on issue because I have faith in God? Everyone has faith in something, and everyone is preaching something you're just blind to it until to you see the words "God, Jesus, or faith".
