It's not that long ago that gays were considered just that. It's probably why gay marriage never gained any momentum until the past 10 or 15 years.

What he said that you didn't say, or the differentiation that he made which you didn't, is that "marriage equality" refers to the desired goal or outcome, not to the thing itself. I agree that the change in terminology was made to make it sound more acceptable. My main problem with your original premise, was the part about it opening the door to more outlandish things. |

Maybe, but there has ALWAYS been a much more prevalent incidence of homosexuality lying just below the surface of society than there has been or ever will be of people with the urge to commit incest or have multiple spouses. Having homo-erotic thoughts or being "closet gay" is something that has always existed amongst a much larger percentage of the world's population at any given time throughout history than has ever been admitted to. Not by me, of course. No way!!! But you..... |

What "climate change" does is to relieve the global warmers from accountability for their previous fear-mongering. Like I said, how can one argue with "climate change"? The climate's been changing forever.
If there's global warming, just call it that.

Global warming is what's happening. But because many people are too obtuse to understand that abnormal weather patterns, including cooler temperatures in certain areas, is one of the consequences of global warming, as well as the rightwing propaganda machine seizing upon that confusion to further muddy the waters, they decided to change the term to something that more accurately reflects the results of global warming rather then the underlying cause, as was the original case. Global warming was coined by the scientific community who understood it's connotation. Climate change was put into use in order to clarify the results of it for the easily mislead masses. |

Rightwingers are simply not buying into the fear-mongering that the global warmers have pushed. Nor are they falling for the draconian economic "fixes" that have been proposed by the likes of George Soros.
As I recall from the Copenhagen Summit a few years back, Soros and other global financiers wanted the industrialized world to fund their efforts to industrialize third-world nations. Of course, these third-world industries would have to be "green".
Also, one of the proposals was to have the US borrow money from China in order to help make industries in China decrease their CO2 emissions, which would be monitored over the next 20 years.
Then you see things like the US loaning Al Gore hundreds of millions of dollars to help finance his luxury "green" sports car company, which, I believe, is no longer in operation. I guess 20mpg on fuel with a total of 32 miles on an electrical charge wasn't such a great idea.
Rightwingers simply think that global warming science became too intertwined too fast with the global warming industry to take it all that seriously.

^ Just more of the usual pro-industry propaganda.
They would rather use half-truths to obfuscate the issue rather than admit the left is correct & that there really is a problem. Then, after they've successfully stood in the way & blocked action that likely would've helped solve the issue & it's too late, the right wingers of that era will deny culpability. Never ends. |

Madawee, a brother and sister marriage is just nasty, which is why it hasn't been put into US legal law yet.... One of the only times family to family marriages worked was in the bible times, and that was most likely because they plain didn't know any better in the bible times, and plus, basically everyone was related in the early bible times, and people wanted to procreate, so they only had their family members to procreate with. The Leah-Rachel-Jacob love triangle was a prime example. Two sisters ended up marrying and having kids with their biological cousin, Jacob(Though I saw something like this on the Jerry Springer Show one day, go figure) Nowadays, there are many people to procreate with that aren't part of your family, so there is no excuse to marry and procreate with family members)...

^Well, there you go.
Who cares about love, morals, understanding, etc. "It's just nasty" Sounds like good solid reasoning to me. |

^ When Ken is right, he's right.
Having sex with any immediate family member is just nasty. Sick nasty. |

I don't have any sisters. I wonder though. Imagine the brother of the most attractive woman you can think of.
Do you think he looks at her and says to himself, 'Ah, that's just my smelly o'l sister.'?

Correct - and don't forget Lot's daughters ("...let's get daddy drunk and make babies!"). They tricked him over and over and over again...talk about 'keeping it all in the family'.
~~~
In ancient times it was very common to create little inbred retards - especially if you were royalty. Nobody else outside the royal family would be good enough...so, after a few generations of this, we ended up with the likes of King Tut, or in the middle ages, the hunchback, worm-infested King Richard III. Considering this, sometimes it amazes me we aren't all sitting nekkid in mudpuddles, drooling, grunting, and leering at each other, tossing buggers, and picking our butts.
