Being Straight is a Lifestyle Choice

from JoeUser Forums
Benefits for straight married couples make no more sense than benefits for homosexual couples do. Because deciding to cohabitate with a person of the opposite sex, procreate, all that -- well, it's a lifestyle choice. Those people who argue that being straight is pure biology, like being black or white, need to wake up and smell the pheromones.

Nobody makes you act on your urges, whatever they are -- heterosexual or homosexual. And yet straight people seem to think they deserve some sort of compensation for giving into their urges while denying people with differing urges the same compensation. Deny them all, I say. Let everybody fend for themselves, and let the chips fall where they may.

Given all the people who think that that homosexuality is purely a personal choice, I must conclude that giving into any physical urge must be an anomaly. Therefore, a life of pure abstinence is the only natural choice for the human who wants to live his/her life to the fullest. Don't have sex with the same sex if you want to. Don't have sex with the opposite if you want to. Don't eat. Hell, don't even breathe. Those are all physical urges. You must deny them.

Where do we draw the line? It might be easier and more beneficial to a free society to give people the freedom to make their own choices. And if we don't support compensation for some of those choices (the dirty sex ones) then why support them for all the dirty sex ones? After all, there's only a couple of inches between sticking a penis into a vagina and sticking it into an asshole. And we've ripped the country apart over those couple of inches.

Don't give the homos any rights based on their sexuality. This is fine with me. But stop giving heteros rights, too. To hell with all you weak specimens who can't control your physical urges.

Ah, well, then you are deranged. Should have guessed. Family as a concept is as old as humanity, and without it we wouldn't be where we are. Take an anthropology class sometime.

A metaphor is a comparison. Which means equating one thing with another.

No, it is an hypothesis.  You do not need a comparison for a metaphor.

I'm arguing that "family" is a meanignless and stupid concept, and "marriage" even more so.


Are you married? Do you have kids? What leads you to this revelation?

I'm just saying that people can call family whatever they will, and every citizen gets the same rights.

And there we have you again.  People can call it whatever they will.  So how can you deny dogs and women, men and boys, polygamy, etc.?

I always thought it was a punishment until they fulfilled the command to be fruitful and multiply. So the breeders are my true enemy here? Just checking.


I have to wonder here...are you playing devil's advocate for the sake of debate? If so, that's cool. I'm all for a good debate.

Or, are you honestly saying that there is no intrinsic value whatsoever to the propogation of the species? Because the 'benefits' of which you speak are ultimately given for that reason.

If the 'breeders,' as you put it, don't breed, we start to run out of humans. Unless you want to maybe start "human farms" where people are bred and raised. Or maybe you're going futuristic and want a society of clones or something. Then your argument totally rocks. Other than that, you're advocating the gradual extinction of the human race by lack of propogation. And that sucks.

Just checking.

Thanks for exposing yourself for what you really are. If we can't legally and socially define family then....

Women: You got knocked up, you're on your own. That's ok though, because hey, family is nothing, so leave that kid in the dumpster, it's your right!!!

Men: Knock 'er up and leave. While you're at it, leave her with a disease or two. Why should you lose any "freedom" just because she wasn't careful enough?

Pedophiles: What right do those adults have telling you who you can and can't love. Do they really think that kid is "theirs". Like he "belongs" to them or something. Hey, you're in love with the kid, so why not?

Judge: What do you mean "alimony", who cares if you worked to put him through college. Who cares if you have kids. No legal definitions of "family" "husband" "wife" "parent" or "minor child", you're both on your own. Kids, well sorry about that, people gotta be free!

You, my friend are nothing but a bitter, cold waste, whining because you can't get your spoiled little way.

Bye!

So, basically what I get from your latest replies is, it's not really about marriage, or family, or anything else. You're just pissed because society in general won't conform to your wishes.
