It is a rights issue since the government decided to get into the marriage game.
And my point wasn't that gay marriage is right up there with the holocaust in terms of significance. The point was that you shouldn't base your level of caring solely on its affects on you as your op indicated. Also, caring isn't a zero sum game. You can care for 2 things simultaneously even if one is grave and the other is merely a philosophical quandary.
i guess polygamy will be the next civil right and then pedophilia.
And then we'll be allowed to marry our sisters and cousins. And then we'll be able to sacrifice our spouses to the Supreme Goat Lord. And then we'll be allowed to kill everyone else's spouses. All because of gay marriage. Thanks Obama!
Yet that's how I roll. I don't have this thing called empathy (thats what chicks tell me). :thumbsup:
That's interesting, 79. I actually work to employ empathy as a guide through life. I find it difficult to imagine not having empathy (yes, I get the irony in that statement). I'm fascinated by the fundamental differences in perspective and values among people. I suppose it speaks to the power socialization has on us all.
