Why do people find my beliefs so offensive?

The difference is that I am not forcing stupid policies on anyone. I'm not forcing you to stop having children and start taking it up the butt. I'm saying that marriage isn't something that the government should have any hand in because their input is unwanted and unneeded in that area.

Please try to articulate an actual argument against this and don't send me around looking for information that isn't even relevant.

I have articulated an actual argument, so the ball is in your court.

Probably because you're 18 years old.

There's a good reason why such a party doesn't exist, and it's not because everyone other than you is "stupid."

No you haven't. You brought up an example of government oppression (China) and I don't even know what you are getting at with the Russia comment so be a pal and explain your argument in clear terms to an idiot like me.

They aren't stupid, they are just immoral if they want to force their views on others.

You aren't an idiot, but you are not very good at baiting me into over-reacting. Anyway, re-read the last sentence - the greatest indicator of financial and social stability is a man and a woman with children under one roof.
