This has already been refuted. This does not prove that the definition should be changed. We are not obliged to change definitions based on the assertion that the majority won't be affected.

I think freedom from oppression is a human right.
"Case in point". The phrase is "case in point".
If you're going to try to dodge around someone's argument, at least use the right idioms.
Great. Do you think gay marriage is a human right?
Do you think being forcibly denied it is oppression?
By and large if you post an opinion on a public forum and put it forth as a righteous one you can expect to be called on it.
Likewise if you can not or will not defend it then people are generally free to dismiss it and you until such a time as you do.
Do you think gay marriage is a human right?
yes, why isn't it? whats so goddamn scary about allowing it to be so? please elaborate
Forcibly denying a pedophile the right to molest a children? Nope. Want to answer my question now?
That all depends on how you define "human right." Do you consider heterosexual marriage a human right? If so, then so is gay marriage. If not, then neither is gay marriage. If you're going to say one is and one isn't, then I'd like to hear your definition of "human right." I think freedom from second-class citizenship status can arguably be considered a human right.Do you think gay marriage is a human right?
I've already explained how you have how we decide what's legal/illegal backwards.This has already been refuted. This does not prove that the definition should be changed. We are not obliged to change definitions based on the assertion that the majority won't be affected.
I'm not sure how pedophilia is relevant; it had nothing to do with your question or the provided answer. Regardless, molestation is not a human right; freedom from molestation is.Forcibly denying a pedophile the right to molest a children? Nope. Want to answer my question now?
Polygamy is not a human right. Neither is gay marriage.
You can put a sign on a cow that says horse but that doesn't change the fact that it's still a cow. So called gay marriage isn't the same and it isn't equal. The purpose of marriage for the past 20,000 years has been the perpetuation of the race. Period. On the bright side states still have the right to define marriage and 38 have defined that between a man and a woman
Sure.
Yes, I think it's a human right.
Why? Gays are being unnecessarily oppressed, because gay marriage has no adverse effect on anybody who is not involved in that marriage, save for someone not being able to pull their heads out of their asses because of how high up there they're shoved.
Forcibly denying a pedophile the right to "molest a children"? How do you plan to forcibly stop a pedophile from molesting a child? Most of the "stopping" happens after the crime has been committed. If you get the pretty little idea in your head that you just hate the way your neighbors cut their lawn and weed their garden, perhaps it's not very thorough, or perhaps it's even nicer than yours and you just can't get over that fact, there is nothing in the world, as long as you have kept the thought to yourself, that is going to forcibly stop you from loading a few rounds into a shotgun, kicking down their door in the middle of the night, and loading them with a few shells worth of buckshot. I can't say I know any personally, but I would highly imagine that most pedophiles do not run around in broad daylight, telling family, friend, and neighbor alike "Hey, guess what! See that little toddler over there? I'm gonna kidnap her and do unspeakable things to that." The police would be there faster than you can think, and I would imagine a large amount of vigilante-ism would come into play as well. The only thing forcibly stopping you, or anyone, from committing a crime between conception and execution is yourself, and yourself only.
it's... nice that you show concern about polygamy, but what does that have to do with gay marriage again?
Who are you to say what 3 consenting adults can or can't do? Or 5, or 12?
So you advocate polygamous marriage?
again it's very noble that you show such deep concerns about polygamy, but could be a good sport and stay on topic? i appreciate that, thanks
Where the fuck does polygamous marriage come into play with what I said?
If you want my actual opinion on that, though, no, I do not advocate it. However, like homosexual relations, that is not my lifestyle, and is not how I do/have chosen to/feel comfortable/have been raised to lead my life in the society I reside in, and as such, I won't actively do anything to hinder the progress of those trying to achieve it, nor talk down to those who follow that lifestyle.
Shit just ain't my cup of tea, plain and simple.

If you're going to do polygamy, what's the point of getting married? I mean let's assume you have a harem of 12 women and you spend all day banging them, when are you going to have time for all of the wedding ceremonies?
And if you married them all on different days you would have a dozen anniversary dates to remember and it would just be a hassle.
